You didn't really read what I was saying, instead you made assumptions. I never asked for help. If I wanted help I would have gone to the issues tracker. I stated that I had errors trying to switch and that my decision was to stay with NMM and look into MO. Oh, please.. that is quite a high horse you have there. You may have believed you were being helpful, but if you left the snide remarks out it would have been taken in a better light. You started off your dialog with me by belittlement through implying I don't know how to research something. You even suggested that I somehow believed the application as being spiteful. Now you are whining and moaning that somehow I am asking you for help. Hint: I didn't Next time don't jump straight to treating someone like a child and calling it 'helpful'. Also, just because someone gets a little bristled by something you wrote to them doesn't mean you should go on full-attack. A simple 'didn't mean it that way' could have corrected the dialog at the start, but instead you doubled-down on childish name-calling.

You really are an unfriendly individual. I apologize for bothering you so deeply. Good luck with the bitter attitude.

I understand what is needed to get it up and running. I am saying it isn't currently worth my time. The way you word things feels like a mix of helpful and condescending, which is why I felt the need to reply at all. As for my use of 'push'. Maybe it was hyperbole, but it wasn't fallacy. They replaced Download NMM with Download Vortex, started making videos about switching, etc.. feels like a bit of a push to get people to switch to me. Either way, you have soured me to continuing this discussion, so I am going to step away.

I don't need a definition of 'research' and obviously applications don't have feelings and are incapable of spite. The point I was making is that it is hard to switch over because you have to invest so much time into it. I have a plethora of Fallout 4 mods I like to switch around and I feel like I could spend weeks trying to get everything backed up, re-downloaded, reconfigured, and tested. Sure, maybe something did happen to NMM's configuration, but I disagree with "spend hours on YouTube to figure it out" approach to end-user support. On one hand there is a push to get people to switch to Vortex, but on the other the ability for Vortex to make transition seamless isn't quite where it needs to be. Essentially, if it could handle errors better on it's own, or even automate re-download of detected but 'corrupt' mods; I would be happier with the software. It shows me a list of all my mods, it just won't let me import them.

I just recently tried to setup Vortex and so far I am annoyed that it claims my NMM configuration is corrupt and will not let me import a list of mods that it obviously can see. NMM is running fine, so idk what corruption it is talking about. Looks like I will have to re-download a large number of mods, install, and configure them before I can get back to actually playing the game. Because of this, I have shelved Vortex and continue to use NMM. Until I can gracefully switch over to Vortex from NMM; I don't consider it very good. Maybe I will try Mod Organizer.
