Lynchpin451 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I tried to get vortex to work but it insisted on write access to my root files...which sadly led to my OS being corrupted, forcing a factory setting reinstall. Dealing with conflicts manually is a living hell as well, espetially when multiple mods want to use the same file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are files there, Vortex assumes that something else is using the folder (obviously, because where would the files come from otherwise?) and assumes it was selected by mistake.If your intention is to add files you manually downloaded to vortex as mod archives then give vortex an empty directory and move over your files afterwards. This way Vortex knows (well, assumes really) that it's supposed to pick them up.Not the answer I was hoping for, but the explanation was. Maybe its known, or not, but vortex treats FO4VR as an entirely separate game from FO4 where as nexusmods does not, requiring its own dl folder with everything manually copied over.

Yochanan194078 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I've started using Vortex and none of my mods are going in. Followed everything as it is supposed to be but only a couple have worked. I think I got rid of NMM way too soon. F4SE (up to date) doesn't work at all and is messing everything up. So it is as they say. BTW, Win 7 64-bit My first post ever on any forum so hope I did it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyHoechlin Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I am loving Vortex! i got most of my mods transferred over, however i am having an issue getting Vortex to recognize that i have installed FNIS, i have installed it manually and through the manager, neither way gets it to recognize. That is my 1 and only issue with Vortex! If any can help me solve it i would be ecstatic! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynchpin451 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) Another issue I had was when I tried to deal with conflicts. I had several weapons that all shared the same sound file. Unfortunately vortex saw these as a crash issue, which surprised me as they'd worked perfectly alongside each other via NMM. Vortex (which was in late alpha at the time) went so far as to abort any attempt to run my game. I tried every combo of resolve links to try and fix it to no avail, eventually being forced to uninstall all the weapons but just to run it. Has this issue been resolved. One think I like about NMM is that it can make these resolvement links automatically, something I struggle with as, A: I had no knowledge to fix them myself and B: there was no tutorial videos that addressed the problem, leaving me in the dark to struggle. Edit: I have read the 'resolving conflicts' article on the wiki and it did not help at all. I actually followed the instructions the first time and my load order became a complete nightmare Edited October 27, 2018 by Lynchpin451 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
