Erixa142 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Hi, I'm using bat files and hotkey to do different things in fallout 4. But every time I add or delete a mod, vortex changes mod indexes even if it's set to lock. Very painful! I need to update my bat files each time. How can we lock for good the index of a mod?

HadToRegister Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 LOCK MOD to Index should only be used as a last resort.Just turn off AUTO SORT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A "lock" function that doesn't lock is a bit strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lock to index should be used as a last resort.It's better to put the Plugin into a GROUP that is in the proper place in the load order.Using a Group is a better way than using LOCK For instance, if you want an ESP at the end of your load order, instead of using LOCK TO INDEX, you would instead put the ESP into the "Dynamic Patches" group, and then click SORT.

I only want to have some mods with specific index for my batch files. I don't want to modify my batch files each time a mod is added, disabled or removed. Using a group will not make some mods to stick to specific a index. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you calling specific RefIDs with the batch files? What do the batch files do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
