Required Mod is Enabled but the dependency icon is red

[CorleoneM]

Hi,

I use the dependency column to mark which mods are required in my mod list. However marking manually added mods as required has been a hit or miss. Most of the time despite setting the version to * when configuring the dependency, Vortex still notifies me that the required mod is missing.

Can you give a specific example? 

It might be that the mod name doesn't match?

Did you check the Plugins section to make sure that the plugin or plugins for that mod are enabled?  It is possible to enable a mod w/o enabling the plugin.

Yes all plugins are enabled. I only encounter this issue on the Mods section when making a manually added mod as required.

Plugins section all enabled

Hi @Pickysaurus any chance you know a solution for this?

I've never been able to make non-nexus files work either but based off this blurb about globbing - I gave up trying.

Plus, collection drafts strip "requires" rules so was less than useful for any practical application.

Oh, if the file is not from Nexus Mods this 100% can't possibly work. If you want use dependency metadata I would ask the author to share it here. 

It's not possible for Vortex to know anything about files that didn't come from Nexus Mods in regards to updates/versions/metadata
