For those interested, I have recently launched an Insta account @illuvien.eviarson #sexyilluvien using 850+ mods, 450+ plugins, stable 30+ fps, highly customized. Even though I wont give any advise on how to do that (just cuz there is way too much to say), it gives you an idea of how amazing Skyrim can be. The account is designed as an inspiration and source for new ideas. Happy modding everyone!

@Tannin42 You are right about the default tag, unfortunatelly the way it should work is not the way it does work. It seems that the rule that defines which file is declared default is broken, or actually needs review as it changes depending on user action, like previewing a non default file, even though there are no changes in load order or such. It is not a major issue, but this feature is highly underrated. I have around 8 major texture overhauls for Skyrim SE installed and deployed, each at least 2 GB in zip format. With this feature I can choose from 8 different mods which wood texture I want for my farmhouses, which wall texture I like for Whiterun etc. WITHOUT touching the load order and without commiting to one mod only! And the preview feature is gorgeous in conjuction to choosing from these texture mods! I just love it, it turns me into a baby artist :)

Hi there! Editing individual files is a great and easy to handle feature. Once I change a default file the new mod is being shown without the default in brackets, indicating a manual change. Unfortunatelly after several Vortex updates all those non default files have become declared as default now, making it impossible for me to figure out which files were touched manually. This is troublesome especially when updating mods as I have to define dependencies again and go back into individual files to change them, but due to mentioned problem I do not know any longer which ones to touch. Especially when it comes to mods that change hundreds of textures it becomes impossible. Another funny thing happens when I preview a file through Vortex as the previewed file will afterwards turn into the default file. Maybe it is an easy to change thing and I hope someone will look into that. Thanks a lot!
