Vortex deleted all my mods

[HadToRegister]

 

Um, by chance do you have a filter set? Something in the column header that would filter out all your mods? i.e. if you have it set to only display Enabled mods and all your mods are currently Disabled, the list will be empty.

nope , i had all filters off.

 

 

Is it possible that at some point, you or a tool you used deleted all the mod files from the game directory and then you had a "external changes" dialog in vortex telling you that files were deleted and whether you wanted to apply those changes permanently and you clicked apply?

 

This is the only constellation I can come up with where Vortex would delete mod files while leaving the directories around.

that did pop up but i clicked on undo. It was good after that and i closed vortex and started fo4 and everything was normal. Next time i opend vortex to download a new mod everything seemd right untill i wanted to sort the mods. All of a sudden they were gone. RN i redownloaded almost all mods.... is there a way to backup my mods ? ^^ i copied the .zip / .rar files in a other folder.

 

 

 

All of your mods are saved in the DOWNLOADS folder that you specify in Vortex.

 

The only way Vortex would delete all of your mods, is if you put the mod staging folder and the mod download folder INSIDE your Vortex folder like the sticky at the top of the forum tells you not to do.
