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.
Vortex 1.11.7, 6/11/2024
Electron 28.2.0
Node 18.18.2
Chrome 120.0.6099.227

This specific problem has been fixed in Vortex 1.12.2

It the is SoS mod from the LL site.

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.

This has been solved. The owner of the mod page uploaded SoS without permission to their mod page and named it "Male".

Well, that's not a result I expected.

Thank you kindly for the update notification Pickysaurus.

And my sincere apoligies to you Jazzfrezi as I was under the impression this was related to the problem.
Glad to see both our issues are resolved
