Tool for scanning modlist and automatically downloading any relevant patches

[gayveryy]

I downloaded a giant collection for graphical overhauls and then installed a ton of other mods that looked interesting to me leading to me having over 900 mods, and one of the most pain in the ass things I've had to deal with has been having to reinstall every single patch mod to make sure I have all the correct patches installed. It is the most mind numbing thing I've had to do that I wasn't getting paid for.

Is there some kind of tool that can automatically scan through a mod list and search for any relevant patches to download and install? Is something like that even logistically possible?

Vortex has a update search available, it can be a bit wonky when trying to figure out the results.  The biggest problem is when a mod has been superseded/replaced, the result states something to the effect of 'mod not available' with a bright red result box.  The bigger your mod list, the longer it takes, of course.

Yeah my mod list is pretty huge but the majority of it is from one mod collection. I think right now I'll just finish my current playthrough, then I'll probably just fully remove that collection and replace it with a smaller one

I didn't pay attention to the part about 'automatically downloading' - I don't think that Vortex can do that yet.  Maybe nothing can, with the number of options available re:  landscape/body/skin types, etc.
