An immediate turn-off, since it looks exactly like the wildly (UN)popular 'new' nexus look. If you were worried Vortex was going force MO on you, that was the least of your worries. They asked the same guy that made the nexus barely usable, and barely legible , if he would skin 'vortex' as well.

What a mess.

Who thought wed want to see nexus news , or latest mods even baked into this? Yes, those can be turned off, but still.

Aside from a few annoyances the new Nexus layout is fine. It's not like the old one was perfect.

Keep in mind that your design has to fit correctly on everything from a mobile phone to a ultrawide monitor, also be usable with touch.
I'm not even going to try and explain why everything was designed the way it was.

You already did. It is designed for a mobile phone and is technically usable at normal monitors. That what always happens when you design a universal interface - you are limited by the weakest implementation.

Hello, I have just now been able to grab and download a copy being 10.00 am my time aussie time ..

It installed just fine , I could never wrap my head around about how to use mo , which is why I prefered to use nmm in the first place, I thought it was easier over all..

But do want to give this a try, but like others, dong like I dont have control of my load order per say , ...

That all been said , I cant Look at the program to see whats what, because atm its only giving me too choices, to either login / register or quit :ohmy: :huh: :ermm:

I'm always logged into nmm mod page btw ... so do I need to restart my computer thing and try re opening the program ?

I also read the "known issues" thread, but thats locked so I posted here .. :happy:

It functions perfectly for FO4. The format is a lot easier to use than the NMM and it keeps track of your files a lot better. Not quite as handy as Mod Organizer, but maybe some more features will be forthcoming in the full release. I especially like the mod versions where you can swap between different versions of the same file allowing to rollback if an update wasn't quite ready for release. The dependencies system works well, and the profile switching is pretty similar to MO. All around happy with the new tool. Very well done. Edited February 1, 2018 by nagothm

I had that happen a couple times during the day. I just closed it and started it up again and it would work on the restart.

Are you suggesting that a web dev can't distinguish between a mobile phone and desktop?

They can. But proper design means two totally separate implementations for them. It takes much less effort to make it for a phone and make an extra move to make it still usable when stretched to the desktop size.

It applies not only to web design; it is a general rule. Cross-platform games and pc-exclusive ones usually easy to distinguish too.

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.

Yusei0 wrote: yes that was NMM have i really dont get why Vortex dont have it and i asked in Forum No Way atm switched back to NMM

Its also not on a file by file but mod by mod, so no more cherry picking those texture packs to make your own look im afraid.

RadioactiveStud wrote: I don't know if this was intended but using hardlink deployment right now and when disabling a mod, all the files are removed from the game folder as intended but the folders stay when they are empty (eg. meshes).

Also I'm assuming softlink will never work for SSE or Fallout 4?
