In your own words (I mean the creator of Vortex), why should I download and use your program? I am honestly asking No Trolling here. PS. Thankyou for your work here!

My apologies, makemelogin, but I am not the developer nor do I speak for the developer. Rather, I am someone who discovered for myself why I should use Vortex, and you can do the same. You can answer your own question by spending some time with the Vortex documentation that Nexus Mods has provided: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/7060326-vortex-help-center-faq-documentation/. If you have not done so already, pay particular attention to the sections on file conflict, load order, tools, profile management, and custom extensions. Furthermore, if you study these materials, you will then be in a better position to understand and evaluate the developer's answer to your question, should he respond.

Fangirlinmyheart Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Will definitely try it, when I start a new playthrough, don't want to risk my current one. Switching from one Mod Manager to a new one is always a little (or more) confusing (I know I switched from NMM to MO) but there are great tutorials out there that are ready to help (Gopher for example), so yeah, looking forward to updated Vortex :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeshire Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Is there a way to download nexus still? Vortex isn't picking up any of the mods I have installed, so I tried to switch over and ended up not being able to manage... well, anything.

It'll link you to the latest unofficial version of NMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I gotta uninstall all the mods leftover from when I last played first. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can continue to use NMM by manually downloading your mods. You then install them by using an "install from file" button or by dragging and dropping them into NMM. It's really quite easy.Scorpionshawn72 wrote: How about post a youtube video. "Nexus mods with out using Vortex"I bet you get a ton of views might even make you rich! Hell ill donate money for that!I've gone back and forth between Vortex and NMM. Fiddling with Fallout NV. Anyway I am using 65.10 NMM right now and the MOD Manager download button still works for NMM. Edited November 7, 2018 by Majic7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balloo95 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Love the new Vortex. I use it while playing Skyrim SE the only thing is that it really slows down game play at every save. Is there a why to disable Vortex with the game saves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a why to disable Vortex with the game saves? If you're running Vortex in the background, and you think this might be the cause of the slow down, then turn off Vortex. You can run your game without Vortex. However, I doubt that Vortex is the source of your problem. When I play Skyrim SE with Vortex running in the background, Vortex takes up only about 340 MB of disk space. That's just not enough to cause slow down issues. Perhaps you should look elsewhere for the cause of the slow downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
