Does anyone know how to get a usable mod list from Vortex?

Thanks, Zander, but unless I'm missing something, the dir -n > mods.txt command simply outputs the contents of a directory to the mods.txt file. In other words, it misses the mark on 2 counts:

  1. It captures plugin names (which often do not match the mod name) and ignores mods with no plugins
  2. It also captures any stray files in the Data folder- readmes, xml files, whatever junk is in there

I can get perfect plugin lists from LOOT. However, a plugin list is not a mod list.

 

@Vyxenne, use that command on the Vortex staging folder, for example: C:\Users\Chris\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\skyrimse\mods. It will give you all your mods, not just plugins. Only downside is that if you have any mods that are disabled but not uninstalled (such as version updates) they look like duplicates. But I suppose you could either clean up and remove any uninstalled mods with Vortex or edit the generated results. Mine looks like this:

I can't think of anyone's mod list I would rather see, just to see if I missed anything interesting...

Maybe take requests by PM or something.

 

Aww, that actually brought a tear to my eye! :wub:

 

The interesting parts of my game are not in the list of mods per se, but rather in the particular brand of fun that they provide. :D

I don't know how technical you are, but Showcase is open source, so it probably wouldn't be too hard to modify it to suit your specific requirements.

Well, now, that's a thought. I'll try to find it on GitHub and give it a look! Thank you.

To the most mahvelous V - from this post https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/10199463-how-to-export-sse-mod-list/

 

This routine got my modlist from the Vortex Staging Folder, using Powershell in Windows:

 

 

Hit Windows Key + X select Windows POWERSHELL

Rem - Went like this, in ps:

cmd [return]

[drive letter holding Vortex]: [return]

cd [path to vortex mods\skyrimse] [return]

dir . /b > [chosen title_for_list.txt] [return] -- Important - no spaces in name for modlist text file, underscores are ok!


Rem - (the modlist txt file will show up in the skyrimse folder listed above, after a refresh)

Rem - this just prints out the directory file, but it shows the mod name and version number.

 

Hope that this is useful!
