Just PUT THE DAMN FILES WHERE I TELL YOU

[RS13]

This should be simple. I want to drag an archive--input loader 2.0--from my downloads (it's on github not nexus) into Vortex and have the files from it wind up in my Cyberpunk directory.  But instead Vortex tells me it doesn't recognize the files--even though it's super freaking simple layout Engine, r6 and red4ext, like a 100 other mods on the nexus.  OK, that's fine, I'll install the three folders in seperate mods. Oh, ok, the same text pops up so long as the readme and license are in the red4ext folder. No problem, delete them and manually install. But wait, once Vortex realizes that I'm installing input loader's red4ext folder IT CREATES OTHER FILES AND INSTALLS THEM!? Just put the DAMN FILES WHERE I TELL YOU, VORTEX.

Have you tried this?

Download the File, then select  in VORTEX,  "Install from file"

After reading your post, it sounds like you're expecting that vortex can do things that you want it do, that it's unable to do

You should post this on the extension page for CP2077 (after verifying that you do in fact have the latest version)
