that's why i think no one can comment anything until he read the entire article. people are just rude even if they been giving things for free and people work 24/7 to try to please them and make things much easier for them.

I think i'm going to wait for it to be updated couple of times maybe when it reaches beta stage or IF it reaches then i'll give it a try

Vortex isn't letting me send feedback, so I'll post this here. Is there a way to enable every mod with 1 click? I had to enable each individual mod that I ported over from MO2. Please add a 1 click enable all mods button. Edited February 15, 2018 by Sorrowson

I can't really understand anything I see there. Doesn't look very user friendly, all things considered.

I never used Mod Organizer, but I tried Wrye Bash for a short time. Looking back at them, their interfaces looked ancient as hell. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not good in my experience. I never actually got used to WB and I don't think I'll ever be using MO.

However, Vortex's interface looks too modern. Looks more aesthetic than functional to be honest. This may not sit well with some users. Doesn't sit well with me, that's for sure.

To put it the best I can, as far as interfaces were concerned: WB and MO looked like Windows 95 and Windows 2000, respectively. NMM looks like Windows XP. Vortex looks like Windows 10.

I have a feeling that this was a too large of a leap from NMM's simple and very useful mechs. Like you skipped the metaphorical Windows 7.

Highly unlikely that my voice will mean a bloody thing in a long run, but at least I said what was on my soul.

Anqayas wrote: I agree. It feels weird, hard to use.

i think the whole interface will change after they leave the alpha as they said somewhere else before that's they haven't started on the interface yet and it will be planned later when Vortex is stable and ready. still not sure if that's what they meant or i understood it wrong.

It will only launch once the missing files are placed back in its download directory. Since the mods that use those rar files are already installed and operational in-game, the large, memory eating files are just taking up space. Will Vortex, if I should choose to move the mod installation files, also refuse to launch?

I'm going to go out on a limb here, as I'm just getting ready to download Vortex, and haven't seen the interface. Reading through all the Warnings, it seems they made it clear to backup all your files, and then to import versus actually moving things from NMM over to Vortex. Unless of course you're willing to go wholehog and completely switch to Vortex. Reading your post, it looks like you physically moved your files out of NMM. If on the other hand, you did as recommended, and imported things from NMM, and then it removed them from your original folder, you need to use the bug reporting feature in the upper right hand corner of Vortex, and let Tannin know directly that there is a problem. I'm definitely not an expert on anything involving modding, but in a few minutes I'll see if there is indeed a problem with importing. Good luck.

instyne49, i think you are right. Lollia move the fine and did not actually do as they advised.. I hope this does not mess up their LO but if it does, at least the can start with Vortex as a clean slate.
