Help with reinstalling all the mods

Hello 👋 I'm gonna reinstall Skyrim to a different drive because old one doesn't have enough storage. But I don't want to download all the mods one by one again. Is there an easy workaround for this? Can I just "copy-paste" the entire game folder structure and tell Vortex about changes?

No, don't do that.

"Purge" your mods to remove all the links Vortex created from the game folder.

Use your store app (Steam, GoG Galaxy, MS Store) to move the game if you have one.

Go into the Vortex settings and update the game location to the new location and then to move the deployment folder to the new drive.  Let Vortex take care of moving the deployment folder until its done.

"Deploy" your mods again to rebuild the links in the game folder.

If you do any moving or copy/pasting of the mods while the links are still deployed Windows will convert them to real files and make a mess of things for you.
