LOOT and Vortex together

[Indio21]

Hello, I am using LOOT and Vortex. I have LOOT setup in the tools section of Vortex. My question is how do they work together concerning the rules made. EX. If I make a rule in Vortex will LOOT use it and same vice versa.

I'm concerned I need to set the same rule in both programs so as not to undo each other. If I only make the rule in LOOT and deploy mods, vortex sorts the plugins and will skip the rule......I'd think. Any clarification for this is appreciated. Thank you

AFAIK, when you use Vortex, its built-in LOOT routines will take into account the conflict resolution (lightning bolts) and any dependencies you personally edit using the drag-and-drop method with the interconnect symbols under the dependencies.  I once, long ago, used a standalone LOOT with Vortex, and it kept messing things up badly.  The standalone doesn't see everything in the Vortex installations, and vice versa.

I would just depend on the built-in LOOT, and force any needed changes under the 'Dependencies' column in the mods tab, or under the plugins tab in Vortex.  Drop the standalone LOOT set-up, it doesn't play well with Vortex.

That's what I thought would happen. Makes it easier for me. Thank you!
