@valshares24 - Why would you wish this upon software intended to serve YOU better? NMM isn’t dead either; it is being kept alive and updated by the GitHub community HERE :)

Congratulations and Thanks! I've been using Vortex for some months in the alpha versions to mod Skyrim SE and I've been happy with the results. Now I will convert FO4 and start using the Profiles feature for both games. I look forward to the journey through beta to 1.0.

When I installed and ran Vortex, it nuked my load order. That was quite a few versions ago, don't know if that's still a thing or not, but use at your own risk.

I'm sadly one of the people that does not identify with Vortex; I'd just like to know whether it'd be possible to allow us to choose the manager we want to download with upon clicking the "Download with Manager" button, in the future, instead of just making it no longer compatible with NMM. Sorry if that's a dumb question, I'm a noob when it comes to things like this. :-)

I prefer to manage mods by myself, as in manually. The micromanagement makes me feel more confident about the in-game results and everything seems to work better that way (I've been modding Skyrim since 2011, using both BOSS and LOOT - they just didn't really seem to work well for me, imo).

Also, change doesn't come naturally to me. I don't love Vortex's interface (call me an old-fashioned modder, heh). It makes things easier, sure, but I guess that part of me just loves to crack down some puzzles that come with modding. I've had my fair share of that with Mod Organizer and, even though I loved using it, it was maybe a little bit too challenging for me. :P

Hope that answers your question. ^^

How so? I only see an option to download and install Vortex if you choose to. There's nothing to stop you from continuing to use NMM. Where's the problem?

@LeonidasNerevar The problem being if you wanted a easier and perhaps more stable modding experience as advertised through Nexus and wanted to switch over to Vortex, would the only choice be to redownload perhaps hundreds of mods from several games? Either way, support for NMM will be cut off eventually which means at some point you will basically have to switch over, or deal with manual downloads henceforth.
