removing all mods.

[masdog01]

Hey all.

 

So I'm relatively new to modding and have been using vortex for installing mods into Skyrim SE

I'm looking to upgrade some computer components, move from SE to AE, and also move from vortex to MO2. thought I might as well re-start entirely with mods while I'm at it.

 

Is it as simple as selecting and deleting all mods through vortex, then deleting vortex? Or is there some manual stuff I need to do with the game folder in files?

 

Thanks team

I was using MO2 pre-AE release. I decided to give Vortex another shot.

 

MO2 -> Vortex is easy. Just install the mods in Vortex and don't do anything in MO2 if keeping it installed. This works because MO2 creates the virtual links inside its program and thus Vortex saw a nice clean game folder.

 

Vortex -> MO2 is going to require extra work. Vortex creates the virtual links using Windows commands. Thus most programs can find the files in the game folder even when Vortex is not running. Because of this, those links need to be removed or MO2 will think that those mods are installed. Easiest way to do this is to uninstall the mods from within Vortex. You do not need to delete the mod files unless you want to.

 

To save on downloading mods again, go to the Downloads Folder shown on the Download tab of the Settings page in Vortex. Copy any of the 7z, zip or rar files that you want to continue to use with MO2.
