In my opinion, Vortex is not completely ready for primetime. 1) Vortex doesn't recognize any of the mods you currently have installed, BUT it does store them in the same folder and it replaces your config files that are in those folders. That seems nonsensical. Config files don't alter Vortex so why revert them to base? And why not recognize the mods that are clearly installed? I'm sure there's a logical reason, but it evades me. 2) Multiplayer mode doesn't seem to work. The concept is kind of, eh anyway. Who would I be sharing my PC with? My family, sure, but not likely my friends. "Hey man, can I come to your house and play XXXXX? Oh, and can I change your configuration too?" "Ah, nope. You want to play on my PC, you play with my configuration." In any case, why when I have Multiplayer enabled does it not show the mods I installed on my login and my child's login? I don't have to fool with anything in a manual installation, just switch Windows logins and the mods are all there. The concept is nice, sure if my kid wanted a different configuration they could switch to theirs, but if I log into Vortex with my account under either Windows logins my config should show up, it doesn't. At least that is how I would like it to work. 3) Config files should be editable from Vortex. It's nice Vortex will let me disable/enable mods without deleting the mod folder, so why not make the users life really easy and let us edit the config files too? 4) Once I have my mods setup and the config files edited to my liking, how often am I likely to change it? Almost, never, and I still have to go to Nexus Mods and find new mods and get updates. So, where is the overall usefulness of Vortex? What am I missing? 5) Oh, and if I login to Windows user1 and login to Vortex user1 and I answer the survey, then I login to Windows user2 and then login to Vortex user1, I shouldn't be asked to a) setup Vortex again and b) take the survey again. This is the cloud storage era, save my preferences to the cloud. Google Drive can do that, so can Vortex. That would make spending $50 on the pro version valuable. Just my opinion, for what it's worth.
