Mod Rules contain cycles - Only one file that links back to itself

[Anduilas]

Hello,

 

for a few days i tried to solve this issue myself, but the error message stays.

- Vortex 1.7.8
- Skyrim AE

- Mods enabled 571 / 2180

- Windows 10 Pro

- x64

- 16GB RAM

 

About the Problem:

As shown in the attached screens both mods actually link back to themselfes.



What i tried to get a solution:
- I had some different Variant of each mod, so i got rid of the older ones, only one file left for each.
- Update/Redownload the Mods
- Update/Reinstall Vortex

As i'm out of ideas now i hope you maybe able to shed some light for me.
Much appreciated.

Right click on the rule in the second image and remove it.

Hello, thanks for the quick reply.

As you can see in the attached screen i don't get that option.

 

 

 

 

Edit:

Doesn't matter if i activate a profile or collection, always get the same error.
And always with the same two mods:

- Dynamic Animation Replacer
- Race Menu

 

So unless anyone has an idea how to fix this i'm simply out of options.
(Last thing i might try is deleting all vortex folder including mod and staging and set it up all again, but i really would like another option. Not looking forward of spending two weeks or more on dowloading all of the mods again)

Good morning,

 

i'm not entirely sure yet, but i may have found a way to get rid of the annoying error.

Both Files seem (in my case that is) to have trouble with their latest release.

i doubled back to a previous release.

 

DynamicAnimationReplacer v1.1.2 for SkyrimAE-33746-1-1-2-1640873618.7z
RaceMenu Anniversary Edition v0-4-19-11-19080-0-4-19-11-1657140512.7z

This seems to work for now

Still not sure what caused the event in the first place, as even no mods active the error continued to show until Vortex got closed and restarted.

If you want me to report further events of this case developement here, let me know, else i won't keep updating this.

This is sometimes caused by installing two collections with conflicting rules, or setting your own rules to contradict those in a collection.

 

In your screenshot, I think you might've just missed the click target for the right-click.
