Vortex 1.5.5 incompatibility

A bug report was submitted on this; this is just a warning to users.

 

Mods that use a FOMOD installer, like Milk Mod Economy, and include the following structure:

 

<moduleDependencies>
<fileDependency file="Skyrim.esm" state="Active" />
</moduleDependencies>
Will FAIL to install on this build. This may cause Skyrim SE to CTD before the first menu.
Another common dependency is Update.esm.
Whether the mod authors are right or not - this is a problem.

Is that actually valid XML? Most FOMOD crashes are from malformed XMLs. Open the XML file in VSCode with an XML schema validator and see if it complains.

It is valid. The problem arises because in previous Vortex builds, Skyrim.esm and Update.esm were flagged as active. Now they are not.

 

Out of the 386 Skyrim SE mods I just had to re-install from the archives, one at a time, I had about six fail due to this error.

 

Fix is easy enough - for me. I opened the archives and edited the FOMOD, deleting the problematic lines.

rmm200 is right. The new version broke FOMOD installation handling of <moduleDependencies>, as it can't find the installed files to confirm dependency is in place. Downgrading to older version before 1.5.4 do not have the problem.

In fairness, you shouldn't ever need to check that Skyrim.esm is enabled. The game just won't work without it....

 

Also for Skyrim SE, the DLCs will always be present (aside from CC Content).

Use my results as a base.

386 re-installs (thanks 1.5.4) and six of those had this problem.

So about 2 percent chance of hitting it.

Almost all FOMOD installs are fine.

So any mod using that FOMOD xml will have issues?

Any installer that checks if a native plugin is enabled may have the bug. Although the check itself is entirely redundant anyway.
