Collections Question About Already Installed Mods

[Zanderat]

If I install a collection that includes some mods that I have already installed, is there a way to tell Vortex to skip those mods? The reason I ask is that is did that and wound up with duplicates of the already installed mods being installed by the collection. Thanks.

If it's the same mod, same version and there aren't install options I believe it is supposed to skip over it.

As Showler says, it already works this way. The exception being if you delete the downloaded archive, as that's how Vortex identifies that you already have it.

Actually, installed twice. The collection did not attempt to download it twice. That worked correctly.

That should only happen if the mod can be installed with different options. In which case it would install as a variant because it doesn't know if you want the same options as before.

 

If that's not the case it might be a bug and they might need some details.
