Jazzfrezi Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Since the last update to vortex, a mod from another site is being detected as a different mod from Nexus. Where/how is the best way to report this? https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/112351 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you expecting to see? What actually happens? If it's an issue with a collection, the best place to start is the collection page comments/bug reports.

m661 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Hello, Pickysaurus here is a detailed report about this as I just audited it. https://go.screenpal.com/watch/cZj2IHV9Uep To explain it, Fallout 4 has a mod called Fallout 4 London, which is so big it has its own page. But both pages use the same ID for mods. Vortex can't handle this, so if you press update, it looks up both pages for the latest version. Example given. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4london/mods/336 Which is 1.0, but https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/336 Is also 1.0 Thus, now Vortex retrieves https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/336 when you have https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4london/mods/336 This means suddenly a mod is replaced with another mod, the naming gets mixed up, but the directory stays the same. If this happens to an essential mod, now the user their entire game is corrupted without their understanding why it happened. This probably works both ways, which means that at the moment, all Fallout 4 players are at a serious risk of their mod list being corrupted. I have verified this by trying it 20 times, and the result has always been the same. Can you forward this to the official staff to make it a high priority because it spells a disaster if, for example, an essential mod like https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4598 Gets a 4598 on falloutlondon as concurrent: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4london/mods/4598 And as the OP posted it happens to multiple pages where the main game has variants. So in his her example https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/112351 https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/112351 If you need more details, please let me know.

After the last update it is showing the Mod Name as 'Male': It has the wrong version number and category. Right Clicking gives an Open on Nexus Mods option that it should not do, due to not being a Nexus mod. Clicking the option takes me to the one I linked. I have uninstalled, removed the mod altogether and tried again same results. It still picks up load order conflicts against the correct mods that need the load order determining, so it just seems to be a visual thing on Vortex. Threw me at first as I was what is this mod wanting up update? Edit: Just installed today's update and still the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 This means the file exists on Nexus Mods if it's getting metadata. Right click it and open the mod page to see where you can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right click it and open the mod page to see where you can find it. But I did not download it from Nexus. I downloaded it from: https://www.loverslab.com/files/file/5355-schlongs-of-skyrim-se/ Edit: As in I downloaded it from there years ago and it was fine until the Vortex update. Once it started happening, I downloaded it again and got the same result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 If you include the link to the Nexus Mods page it thinks it's from I can take a look at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
