Uploading Collection "Failed to pack %mod xyz%: Failed to open"

Hello fellow nexers,

I was trying to make another collection for Skyrim, but upon clicking the "Upload" button and Vortex going through the mods, it fails for 3 (of 750) mods.
A screenshot of the error message you can find attached.
The google search results do not help, unfortunately 😕

I have already tried re-installing the mods and re-adding them to the collection, but to no avail, unfortunately.

Any help is much appreciated

Best regards,
hundsfott

Sounds like those mods either don't exist on your PC anymore or something got broken with the collection metadata. Try removing them from the collection (you may have to do this twice!) and then re-add them.

What do you mean "you may have to do this twice"? I removed it, added it, removed it, added it again. No change 😞

One thing that hit my eye was that the default installation option is "Fresh Install" and I changed it to "Replicate". Although I removed it from the collection, when I re-added it, it automatically chose "Replicate" again (so there must be some info for the mod somewhere in the collection, still (even after removing it)).

Edit: OK, the installation type seems to have caused the error. I reverted the installation type to "Fresh install" for the three mods, removed them and added them again. No errors.

A new problem arose when trying to install the collection on another PC.

It is stuck at 99% and "Waiting to install". Whenever I click "resume", Vortex says its installing a certain mod. Then again the same status. It is a cycle (resume -> 99% -> resume -> 99% -> resume -> ...).

It's the misc patches fomod from this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/88963

Curiously, Vortex also says there are file conflicts (between the patch and other mod files), which I already resolved before uploading the collection. So I guess it is missing some data.

I have now changed the installation type from "same installation options" (the mods and patches concerned are all fomods) to "replicate" and will test again tonight.
