MariusDarkblade Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 ok first off there is this issue right here. how is my FOLDER being used in another application? this is also like the 5th skyrim folder i have made. in order to organize my mods i made a vortex temp folder and then within that made folders for other games. accidentally added in a few folders inside the skyrim folder so i had to delete everything and start from scratch, even reinstalled vortex and yet i am still coming across this. it wont let me add that folder as the temp folder for the mods. also the program isnt recognizing the dlc's that i have. i have a notice appearing that is telling me i am missing .esm files that i do have. its claiming i dont have dragonborn, hearthfire, or dawnguard which i do. its also saying i dont have the dlc's for oblivion and morrowing but i do have those. this program has been giving me nothing but problems. why the switch from nexus mod manager to this? NNM was a little rough around the edges but it was easier to work with that this.it didnt upload the picture but basically i am getting a popup saying the folder i wish to use is being used by another application and i am to close that application. its a folder, its not being used by an application.

Tannin42 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 The message that a file or folder is in use in another application is in response to the operating system telling Vortex that it can't access the directory because it's in use. Vortex can't do anything about that. If you're sure this is incorrect you should contact Microsoft and tell them their OS has this bug but I'm gonna say right now: I have my doubts... Regarding the missing masters message, I would in fact appreciate a screen shot because I can't remember a single case in alpha or even pre-alpha where this message was incorrect.

MariusDarkblade Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 ok, figured out why it didnt upload the last image. this is what its telling me as far as the masters, but as you can see those dlc's are installed. maybe vortex just isnt recognizing them. but as far as my other problem, i tried everything. i deleted the folder several times, closed out the window itself, i did everything i could think of. i even downloaded an unlocker program to see if there was something i couldnt see but it kept coming up saying nothing was using it.

MariusDarkblade Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 so i think i found out why that popup is coming up but i dont know how to fix it. i clicked plugins and saw each of those DLC's in there disabled. i clicked enable and then within a few seconds they switched back to disabled. also, on the other problem i just deleted the entire vortex temp folder i created, closed out of the explorer windows, tried to recreate the folders after going through settings and then mods, and then clicking on the directory search, came up still saying that the folder is being used by another application and i am supposed to close that application and try again. nothing is using that folder. i deleted it and recreated them within the window that pops up while searching for the directory. could it be that the folder is within a subfolder? the main folder i am trying to put this in is my mod folder, i download other mods into that folder for when i had to manually download them and upload them with NNM. could it be too many directories to go through since its going through D:\My Stuff\mods\vortex temp\skyrim? when the error message pops up it adds another skyrim directory making it vortex temp\skyrim\skyrim. i'm going to try creating a seperate folder straight on my D hard drive rather than going through other folders to see if this fixes the problem.

MariusDarkblade Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 ok so maybe that was the issue as far as the mod directories part. i created the folder straight on my D drive, created the skyrim subfolder and when i went into the mods section in settings to change the install to that folder it worked. right now i'm importing the mods from NNM again and once thats done i'm going to try to enable the DLC esm's and see if that works.

MariusDarkblade Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 everything seems to be going correct so far. its deploying now. does this work with loot though? i was using NNM with loot to organize my mods properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariusDarkblade Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 ok so it deployed fine, at least as far as i can tell since i havent started skyrim yet. i must ask though why are "vortex download" links opening the nexus mod manager? i went to download a mod after it finished doing what it was doing and instead of opening vortex it opened NNM. this might be on my end but i figured i'd ask and see if there possibly was more to it. i'm going to try looking for another mod and see if it does the same thing when i use the vortex link.

LOOT is built into Vortex. When you sort with Vortex you are sorting with LOOT. If you've made any rules in Vortex that override LOOT, then Vortex still sorts with LOOT but enforces your rules.
