Rex7Dragon95 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 my only complaint for vortex is the problem with oblivion mods and the lack of omod support, sure some people would say just use Oblivion Mod Manager witch i do but sooner or later problems are going to pop up due to the age of the program. some people would suggest to unpack the mod and pick the stuff you want and repack it but there are some omod's that have large complex installer script that do more then place files, some of them do changes to the games .ini and some of them have a lot of files in different folders and even worse some don't have manual install instructions. even thought it's an older game I'm wondering how this is going to be handled. i remember hearing that technically someone could make a add-on plugin for vortex so it can handle omod's.

khamseen Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) Whilst it is awesome to see Vortex reach beta state, I feel it's kind of irritating that on day one you've removed the ability to download mods via NMM. I mean you make a point in the article of stating those of us who have currently modded, stable, games running via NMM should probably not bother switching to Vortex yet... but now for mod updates or adding new mods to the game I've invested hundreds of hours in to I have to start using manual downloads rather than simply downloading via NMM. That's a bit of a shame really. Edit: Just to add, I just tried installing Vortex just to have a look at it and the "stable" beta wont even let me change the download directory without failing and it doesn't tell me why it failed it just shows me the part of the script that failed...

TomCatDe Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Just wanted to say "Thank You". It's such a leap beyond NMM. I currently only use it for FO4, but there it does an amazing job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Fallout to Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age to Mass Effect, we have Modded, and now, the Online menace, is at our doorstep, Single player itself is under threat of annihilation.That is why today, on October 9th 2018, 11 years after our great website began, we gather together to honour the completion, of Vortex Mod Manager, this sprawling, Intricate system, may have been engineered by Black Tree, but it was built by you, the good people of the internet, so that if Online games do come, if the end does come, our way of Gaming, will endure, but not everyone will be saved, those chosen to enter this site must be our best and our brightest, for when the updates have stopped and the servers have settled, you must rebuild, not just mods, not just load orders, but hearts, and minds, and ultimately single player itself, so as we stand here today, we pray that the Internet will know peace, but if that is not our destiny, if war must come, we stand together knowing that here on Vortex Mod Manager,our future begins...Nice! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great for those of us who want to skip the steps of manual download and importing.I was confused because when you click the button it says "your download will be served by Vortex" or something so I backed out because I didn't want to download it with Vortex. Just tested it though and it did launch NMM to download it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it works fine. Advantage over NMM: one can easily and swiftly switch between games and profiles (different mod setups in the same game).
