Duplicated version numbers for mods

[dferstat]

I have, I fear, annoyed a number of FO4 modders over the last year, by pleading with them to increment version numbers when they issue new versions of mods.

The problem that I (and, I'm sure, many other users) have is that when an author tweaks a mod, but doesn't increment the version number, I end up with two different copies of the mod, but with the same version number. Vortex shows me two installs with the same version number in the pull-down menu, and I have no way to tell which is which.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

There isn't really a solution I'm afraid. You can look at the file IDs in the info panel (double-click the mod) and those will be unique.

Thank for your reply, Pickysaurus. While not the answer I wanted, it's what I expected.

 

As a result, I've posted this site update request.
