Download a collection on one PC and transfer to another

[MightyMonte88]

Hey ya'll, was wondering if i'm able to download a mod collection for fallout 4 on my laptop, and transfer the downloaded files to my desktop, then install the collection ? I will have nexus installed on my new desktop and plan to install the collection according to authors instructions. I do this with games on steam all the time, but was unsure of how or if it would work with nexus mods....

 

The reason for this, is because i live somewhere with really bad internet, and no real option for anything better at the moment, so i goto my brothers house and download big games/ updates and so on. I just built a new gaming PC, and to transport it i'd have to uninstall the GPU and CPU cooler, i really don't want to do that unless i have no other option.

I don't see why you couldn't, as long as (on your desktop) you put the files where the game or your mod manager wants them. 

I don't use Vortex or NMM myself -- or have Fallout 4 -- but from what I can find, the default location for Vortex's downloads is %APPDATA%\vortex\downloads\<game name>\.  So unless you moved that somewhere else...

EDIT: replace <game name> with whatever it calls its Fallout 4 folder -- likely fallout4 (though again, I don't have it to check).
