NMM and Vortex - Any Issues Using Both

[Kodiak412]

My hope is to leave the games that I use NMM for alone. I have everything stable and working perfectly for Skyrim SE, FONV, FO4 and Witcher 3 and I do not want to disturb them.

 

I would like to use Vortex for any new games but be able to use both and not migrate everything over.

 

I read through the FAQ's and it looks like you can leave NMM alone and use it for the old games, and then just use Vortex moving forward. Any issues with this theory?

 

Any replies or incite will be greatly appreciated.

You can use both just fine, the only problem you will have is that only one application can handle the "Download with manager" links on Nexus so you will have to manually download the mods for one of the two.

I prefer to do that anyway. Then I have a copy here incase I have mod issues and have to dig into them to find the culprit. Uninstalling and reinstalling can be a tedious method for troubleshooting, but effective.

 

Thanks for the reply! Good luck with Vortex and I will be trying it out when the next modable game comes out. :smile:

My current setup, I have NMM and Wryebash managing Oblivion, MLOX and WryeMash managing Morrowind, and now Vortex is managing Skyrim and Fallout 3, New Vegas and Fallout 4

any way to decide which one tho?

I want to download with Vortex and have NMM as a backup until I feel safe.

 

But NexusMods by default open NMM

 

Thanks

@Finikksu. You need to configure Vortex to handle Nexus links. Open your Vortex dashboard and look for the big, bluish tile that reads "Handle Nexus Links." If it says "No," then click on it. It should then change to "Yes." Now Nexusmods by default will open Vortex.

You set up Vortex to download from Nexus mods the same way you set up NMM to do it.

This is "Setup 101" and everybody should just know how to do it With a modicum of effort

 

SETTINGS------------>DOWNLOAD--------->HANDLE MOD MANAGER DOWNLOAD buttons on Nexus Mods .com

Most posts where people are furious with Vortex, jumped in blindly, with a 240+ mod setup and expected it to go swimmingly, instead of being cautious, starting with a newly installed game with ZERO mods and started from there in order to preserve their current set up.

Oh, I'm dumb.

 

Didn't saw it, well I really didn't spend a lot in the dashboard, I went directly into games and mods.

 

Thanks
