Auto Updating Mods

[Agfev]

Hi all, i beg up your pardon, i don't know if this is the right section, but would you be so kind to explain me how to update automatically installed mods on vortex, if possible, please?

Thanks in advance!

Please clarify what you mean by "automatically installed mods".

Agfev, the Vortex Knowledgebase has a wealth of information regarding how to use the mod manager's features.

 

In the Vortex Mods view there is a button or link along the top of the screen that is titled 'Check for Updates.' See attached screenshot.

 

If you select a mod, then click 'Check for Updates' Vortex will search Nexus Mods for any updated version. If it finds an update, Vortex will show the mod version number in colored text (orange is the default). It will also provide a link to the Nexus Mods page that you must click to start downloading the updated version. Then you can install and activate the new version and remove the old version.

 

Selecting all of your activated mods and then clicking 'Check for Updates' will check every single mod you have installed (and activated) against their Nexus Mods webpages. It does work but it can take a very long time to complete. I have done it.

 

For Nexus Mods Collections, the process is similar. I am not aware of any way to do this with Vortex automatically. The user must initiate it.

 

Please note, this only works with mods downloaded and installed from Nexus Mods by clicking the 'Mod Manager Download' button. If you import a mod from a file on your PC, you have to go back to that mod's webpage in your browser to check for updates.

That's a great way to see which mods can be updated, but I think OP means it would also be nice to have an "Update All Mods" option so you don't have to go through the list and click on each mod that has an update.

All that would do is open all their mods page en masse.

That's only how it works for non-premium users. For premium users clicking the button automatically downloads the update for the mod. 

So this feature would also be premium-only. 

Apologies to necro this thread but it's still a feature that would be very helpful. Managing a Cyberpunk mod list with over 1200 mods can be very tedious. Especially considering updating 100 mods for example means also removing the 100 previous versions too. Both things should be able to be done in bulk. Maybe not an update all, but maybe an 'update selected' and the ability to select all.
