Is there a manual load adjustment?

cortex56 wrote: Under dependencies, I found you are able to change the meta data as far as load after. This will work for manual load ordering, however, it is not very user friendly for a large mod list. A move up or down arrow in front of each plugin name would be awesome if possible.

I couldnt agree more, .. but what I read in the forums , and I think from the team, they said, that just how its going to be , but they also said you can do something the settings to help with a workaround , I dont know, I Never could wrap head around mo anyway , which is why Prefer nmm , tho I do like the new nexus mod page about 90 % ..
I really need to be able to shift mods that need bottom position MYself ! .. Edited February 1, 2018 by jaderiver

Using with Skyrim Special Edition.
I imported the mods loaded in NMM, they all imported properly (this also disabled all mods in NMM automatically). I then enabled them, which also worked properly.
The Managed Mods, however, showed "0" Mods managed. I then installed a mod from file and the Managed mods showed "1" mod managed.

The loose file fix, seems to work properly also.

There is a small learning curve for those of us that are not overly endowed in the brain department, however it is very small.
Navigation around the Vortex is simple and pretty easy once you look at it.

I am currently using 142 active plugins, and 170 installed mods. It appears that all imported properly and are working as expected.

I also setup the LOOT and FNIS tools, which was easy and worked as expected.

I like the dashboard along with the tool buttons being right there together. The mods tab and Plugins tab are self explanatory and easy to see your load order.

Once downloaded and setup and mods installed, I was in game at 8:32 a.m. (Very small learning curve indeed).
Good job all.

Edit: Under the mods tab, only the one mod installed from file shows up. None of the imported mods show.
Edit 2: Ok, I see. When you install a mod from file, it places the mod in a different mod folder than NMM. Not a problem really, just more learning curve.

Cheers found it, thanks for the heads up.

Me too. I working on my PC, I want my disk C as far from games as possible

I will wait very patiently (or at least visibly patiently) for the release in February, most likely. If it releases on the 12th, that will be the best birthday present you can provide. Though belated is just as acceptable. You guys don't know how much some of us appreciate all your hard work. Believe me when I say, at least for some of the games on that list, I will be attempting to put Vortex through it's paces and provide some real feedback for you all! :) If I have the money, you're getting one more premium supporter for life. THANK YOU ALL!

I don't understand why the mods need to be on the same driver, MO didn't need that...

This is one of the first items on the "known issues" thread on the forums: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/6352891-known-issues/

"Problem: Vortex installs to C:, I want it somewhere else

First of all, you can place mods and such to a different drive from inside vortex but the application itself (around 200MB) and a few MB of settings will always be on C:

The reason we install to the directories we do is: This is where applications are supposed to be installed, we follow microsoft guidelines exactly and this has various advantages:
- We know we can write to the directories
- We know the data will be backed up by a proper backup solution and the application, which can be downloaded from the internet, is not. We know
- When updating we know where the old version is, without having to rely on the registry
- When you let users pick the installation directory, some of them will install to c:\windows\system32 and some will blame us for not protecting them.

There is also no real compelling reason for this kind of "customisability". No other OS requires/allows users to set a target directory during install and I don't hear people
complain about Linux patronising its users too much.

More and more modern applications don't ask for a target directory during install, I think people should just come to terms with the fact that this is how things are going to work in the future.

If your argument is going to be: "But I don't have enough disk space on C:" then the answer is: You can move Program Files or subdirectories of it to a different drive by creating ntfs mounts or junction points, C:\Windows and C:\Program Files\Black Tree Gaming ltd don't have to be on the same disk.
