Vortex: Do you have trouble with mods installed in the sims 4?

[Gooberish1]

First thing i noticed with Vortex and the sims 4 was that it did not show mods i have already installed.

 

Dragging and dropping them, no, didn't work, trying to install the files in there, no, doesn't work. After a few minutes, i found a solution.

 

Go to your mods folder in the sims i.e. Documents, Electronic arts, The Sims 4, Mods.

 

If you have your mods organized in folders, take them out to the main mod folder.

 

Once done, select all files in the Mods folder and add them to zip archive and save it somewhere (Name it what you like.).

 

Open vortex, select the sims 4, select mods The little spanner, bottom of the left bar.

 

Now drag and drop your archived mods file into the area of vortex marked drop file, Done.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Congratulations to the Vortex team, so far, works like a charm.

You could probably have just started over with an un-modded game (I backed up all of my game folders before starting with Vortex) and re-installed those mods from their sources. That would have let you deal with them individually; the way you've done it, Vortex sees one mod, rather than each individual mod.

 

That's not a criticism, whatever works for you works for you. Just noting the other approach for others who might pass this way.

Thank you, Good response and you are right, i had no backups.
