 hi all, I sure hope you guys are cool.  im new here and somewhat of a rookie at online gaming in general. ive played console games but i avoid online stuff because people can be super douche baggy.  i had a bad wreck and im learning to do stuff again and i dont get out too much yet. if you dont know let me tell you, its alot harder the second time! anyway i am hoping  to build some basic skills here and meet some people who are cool and maybe when im done i can say video games changed my life! lol... (kinda true though) so if you will let me id like to let you know what im working with and see if anyone offers to help me get started... im a middle aged dude with mostly healed body and a semi jacked up noggin. i had a pretty basic wreck on my ktm but i hit my head on the rr tracks and woke up a month later. bla bla bla... so... i have my computer,and xbox, and ps console, i downloaded steam and created a nexus acct and downloaded vortex on my computer. i bought a couple games from steam yesterday and found some mods on nexus via vortex and now im totally lost what to do next... lol thats normal tho not cause of my broken mellon!  what im asking is if any one is willing to help me get started so i dont ruin my days with frustration and bitterness... just keeping it real. i have time and toys and absulutely no clue,   and i cant really go anywhere cause i get all f#@$ed up and get lost...:(  

so thats my deal and thats what im working with. like i said i sure hope you guys are cool. thanks again.

Hello and welcome!

For help with games I would recommend posting questions in game-specific forums. You can find them from the top: Browse -> Games. Find your game and join the community to post. But note that not all games have a community. If you can't find your game, then may be post questions in Vortex Support. Sorry I can't properly help you because I don't use Vortex.

Welcome @Imdno!

@LenaWolfBravil already covered most of what I would've said.  And yah, there are also the general Modding Discussion forums, if your game doesn't have its own forum here. 

I won't be much help with Vortex either, since I also don't use it.  The few games I mod, I've either been using a different mod manager forever (mainly Mod Organizer with most of my Bethesda games) or the game's built-in mod management has been enough for the small number of mods I install (e.g., Kenshi, Conan Exiles, Morrowind with OpenMW's engine, House Flipper).  Or it's a really old game that didn't really have a mod manager when I started with it (mostly The Sims 1). 

Still, I'll help with what I can, even if that sometimes involves pointing you to more knowledgeable people.
