These threads are always started by people who didn't bother to watch the tutorials, or read anything in the knowledge base built into Vortex. The people who actually spent time learning Vortex and are using it successfully are the ones you don't see in this forum. If you want to continue to use NMM, you can still download and install it from here: https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Nexus-Mod-Manager/releases. If you want to use Vortex, be advised to set aside your preconceptions of how a mod manager should work. That's why it's very important to visit the Vortex Knowledge Base. I would recommend that you pay special attention to issues of load order management, file conflict resolution, and the use of hardlinks in Vortex. May your Christmas gaming be a joyful holiday experience! I was hoping to just mod/play, but now I have to do homework first to learn Vortex. Need to find out if I should just start over with mods or what. Too sleepy today to figure it out.
