ZauberinStardreamer Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 When I try to download a mod via the Vortex link in the upper right, or on the download page, the download gets opened by the old Nexus Mod Manager instead of Vortex. How do I fix this? EDIT: Never mind, I found it on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBizkit Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Glad you figured it out. For anyone else: there are two ways to set Vortex to handle downloads on Nexus Mods. A) Go to your dashboard and on the dashlet that says "Let's get you set up" click the tile that says "Handle Nexus Links". Make sure it is set to "yes". B) Go to your "Settings" (on the left, right under "Support"). Click the rider that says "Download". In the top left corner, enable handling of "Mod Manager Download" buttons. Either works and will make it so Vortex downloads from Nexus Mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaultherian Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 What do I do if I have tried this and each time I want to download a mod Mod Manager still opens to try to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 What do I do if I have tried this and each time I want to download a mod Mod Manager still opens to try to do it? Sounds like you may be using Firefox, which handles download links in a completely different way, for no good reason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
