Hi, I've recently installed vortex mod manager so that I can play with the playable chosen mod for XCOM 2. The problem I am having with it is that I have some steam mods that are not in Nexus mods that I would like to keep in the game. Whenever I open XCOM 2 the mods do not show up on the list and I cannot get them to show up. so far, I have been unsuccessful with a tutorial despite whenever I look it up steam forums say it should work. I am hoping someone here can refer me to a better tutorial ore help me.
