pandasteakburger Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I uninstalled Vortex (as per official instructions) in order to move my Fallout 3 mods to MO2. The result is that MO2 doesn't recognize the master Fallout3.esm. This file doesn't even show up on the left pane mod list (and is greyed out on the right pane load order list), even though it's right there in the Data folder, and Fallout 3 launches and plays just fine without mods. And next, the exact same thing happened to my Fallout New Vegas .esm and the modded game became completely unplayable. It's almost as if MO2's access to the main .esms is blocked, and still reserved exclusively for Vortex. This is all just my theory anyway, but the fact is that after uninstalling Vortex all my Fallout mods became totally unplayable because the games won't launch without MO2 identifying Fallout3.esm and FalloutNV.esm. Are there some hidden Vortex files lurking in the depths of Windows or Steam that I failed to uninstall? I've already done complete reinstalls for MO2 and the games, but that didn't help at all.

Solution Pickysaurus Posted November 15, 2022 Solution Share Posted November 15, 2022 This is a problem with MO2, this forum is for help with Vortex. Vortex cannot cause the problem you described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
