THELimpNoodle Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 I have been downloading a 126 gig collection for Fallout 4 for roughly 6-7 hours. I'm ~200 mods in out of 722. And now I can't download anything further. I have absolutely no idea what the problem is. I've checked what drive my F4 and mod folder are on, and their both on my 4Tb N: drive. I'm not technically savvy enough to figure this out. My game was already crashing with my previous mod setup. But now I can't even download mods. I've thought about uninstalling Fallout, but I'd rather not have to wait longer to download my game and the mods again. Edit: I've also just Uninstalled Battlefield 1 and V which freed up well over 120 gigs and I still have the same issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 Which drive is your download folder on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THELimpNoodle Posted November 15 Author Share Posted November 15 Showler, It is on my 4Tb m.2 Both my game and mod folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution showler Posted November 15 Solution Share Posted November 15 There's three folders. Game folder, mod folder (deployment folder) and download folder. You've said "game folder" and "mod folder" but not "download folder". The download folder defaults to your AppData folder on your C drive. Did you move that to the 4TB drive as well?

THELimpNoodle Posted November 15 Author Share Posted November 15 Apparently not. It's the default C drive location. I have a "Vortex Mods" folder on my N drive already. Should I change it to that same folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 I'd make a "Vortex Downloads" folder. Just to keep your deployment folder nice and clean. When you change it, Vortex should move the files automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THELimpNoodle Posted November 15 Author Share Posted November 15 So I can delete the "Vortex Mods" folder I have now, yes? Since changing the folder moved everything to the new one. Just to save space, since I have so many mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 The "Vortex Mods" folder is likely your deployment folder. Does it have sub-folders for the different games you mod? Vortex downloads mod archives to the download folder, then it installs the mods to the deployment folder and then it creates links between your game folder and the deployment folder in order to make it work. As such the "Vortex Mods" folder is important because it's where the actual installed mod files are kept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THELimpNoodle Posted November 15 Author Share Posted November 15 It does have sub-folders in it with most of my modded games, so I'm guessing I should leave it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 Correct. That's the real install location for your mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
