Vortex not seeing NMM install.

Vortex doesn't look for your NMM install location, it looks for the NMM configuration file (user.config) which should exist somewhere below C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Black_Tree_Gaming

That path is not customisable as far as I'm aware.

Vortex needs several pieces of information from that config file so there isn't really a point in offering a manual path selection, either Vortex can understand the file, then it will autodetect it or it doesn't (due to bug in NMM or Vortex) then it won't be able to import correctly anyway.

 

Could you guys try to identify the user.config for the NMM install you're currently using (there could be multiple under the path I posted above, check out the file time) and send it to me? Then I can try to find out why Vortex doesn't recognize it.

The path used for that file is not the same for every version of NMM: In my case I have it in the following locations:

 

C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Local\Black_Tree_Gaming\NexusClient.exe_Url_4lymnmlvdvvhawrkuui3rbv2yl2ul1dz\<Version number>\user.config

 

C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Local\Black_Tree_Gaming\NexusClient.exe_Url_loymwutpb2zskzwmzakdh4trgxby3deh\<version number>\user.config

 

Note: Each version has it's own folder containing it's own version.config file. I have around 7 different files between the two folders.

Yes, I know. Vortex searches through every directory below C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Local\Black_Tree_Gaming and each version subdirectory within so it should find every user.config in there.

My current assumption is that the problem is the content of user.config, not its location which is why I was hoping someone could send me that file.

Hrm, with these files in my system Vortex offers to import from

D:\Games\Nexus Mod Manager\SkyrimSE\Mods

or

D:\Games\Nexus Mod Manager\SkyrimSE\V-Mods

 

Are these options wrong or do they not appear for you at all?

 

Is it possible you're running NMM and Vortex with different user accounts? And you're certain you have activated Skyrim SE as the active game inside vortex when you try to import?

This is what I have

 

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Black_Tree_Gaming with nothing in it except another folder

 

 

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Black_Tree_Gaming\NexusClient.exe_Url_ii0tvskeg0pc6423ubyio2kue4j46tu0x (changed a couple of letters numbers in case that's a site key for me or something)

 

And inside THAT folder are folders

 

0.61.60

0.61.22.0

0.61.23.0

0.62.0.0

0.62.1.0

0.62.2.0

0.63.1.0

0.63.2.0

0.63.3.0

0.63.4.0

0.63.5.0

0.63.6.0

0.63.7.0

0.63.8.0

0.63.9.0

0.63.10.0

0.63.11.0

0.63.14.0

 

And inside EACH of those folders is a user.config file.

 

So, Vortex would expect to find user.config in the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Black_Tree_Gaming in the lower folders, but there's EIGHTEEN of them on my system, which one would it pick?
