Nexus Vortex first time experience

Recommended Posts

So i wanted to download some mods and had used this site long ago. Here was my experience for the next 4 or so hours.

-Open vortex mod manager, it says it has 4 dependencies
-each of the 4 dependencies has 3-6 dependencies
-each of those dependencies has 3-6 dependencies
-each of those dependencies has 1-4 dependencies
-no button or link or confirmation premium will just download the dependencies that its apparently aware are required and has links, but wants me to go manually download all 125 dependencies for mod. #2024
-cant find vortex mod manager anywhere on website for 10 minutes, have to google vortex mod manager to get to the right page since its not linked anywhere obvious.
-Vortex mod manager downloads at 30 kbps on a 1.4 GBPS internet speed.
-close and go to an actual website to download, spend 10 minutes finding the current version, download in 12 seconds
-install
-forced update for "current version" from website. Its at 30 kbps again. wait several hours for update.
-click down to the root dependencies and start downloading
-half of these dependencies dont work, half of them require things not listed. All of them require random updates that wont install through nexus mod
-google random website that downloads the necessary files to make the mod work with nexus mod
-vortex frustrating an unintuitive to navigate. Has 15 tabs where none of them display the game i trying to download mods for, and mods being downloaded are on a separate screen entirely.
-get pings in top right corner that mods aren't installing properly
-get pings in top right corner mods wont work as installed
-get pings in top right corner that mods have other dependencies not listed on the website
-download vortex mod specific files it suggests, tells me its the wrong version
-have to go to another website to try and download more random extraneous files again to make files im downloading work for other files im trying to get to work
-Finally get everything downloaded and installed and no errors listed after 4 hours
-mods dont work.
