Mods and patches questions

[azraal]

Ok so there might something I don't really understant or I may have done something wrong.

 

When a mod has patches i see it create a new entry each time in the mod section. In mod organizer, you could decide to either overwrite (the default behaviour) or to create a new entry.

With mods with a lot of patches it can get messy very fast and for mods using incremental update it's a waste of ressource and plainly unreadable.

I could download the full package each time but with my bad internet connection and the fact that I have to share it, it would simply lock me out of updating bigger mods regularly

Another option would be to be to be able to select several mod right click to merge them in specific order. It's not ideal but it's a middle ground.

 

Also is it possible to show the nexus' mod name rather than or in addition to the file name? ESL Version is not a really useful name for example.

 

That said, something might be wrong with how I did configured things though. my version is 0.15.7

 

And here is what i mean:

You can rename installed mods, by double clicking on it.

Activate the Dependencies column in the mod list (gear icon at the top right corner of the list adjacent to the rightmost heading).

 

In the dependency column, click the little icon from the original mod and drag it to same icon in the update. This ensures that any loose files in the update overwrite their counterparts in the original.

 

Go to the Plugins tab and repeat this process to make sure any update plugins are loaded after the original plugins.

 

This will achieve what (I think) you are trying to accomplish.

 

Once you have a mod/plugin already installed (green box with a tick mark and the word "Enabled"), if you double click it a side bar opens on the right where you can change how it appears in the list (the original files are not changed, just the name as it appears in Vortex). You can also change the group, and there is a switch for disabling auto-sort for just that one plugin if you want to make sure the plugin is not moved when the rest of the list is sorted.
