Editing a mod's information

[SuperDuperRon]

So if i edit a mod's info like the name or category or whatever, it'll hold the info until I uninstall the mod. Then it'll revert back to the original. Is this how Vortex works for everyone? NMM use to retain the edited information.

you can disable a mod and its metadata will remain in place, but if you uninstall it, you're "deleting" the mod entirely and thats how vortex works. That is how nmm worked too.

 

If you uninstall (delete) a mod, all its metadata goes with it. aint no way nmm kept that laying around, otherwise your hard disk would have been full of information for potentially thousands of mods that were no longer installed. That would have been quite performance impacting.

I figured it was part of how it works, thanks for the info. I def use to change the names of mods all the time in NMM and it retained my changes, even after uninstalling. Idk why my experience was different than how your saying it actually should have been but oh well. I'll just adapt to it. Again, thanks for the info.
