Vortex - How do I overwrite ESP files?

[GhostLarkin]

I am currently attempting to install The Mercenary (Version 0.9a) and its plugin update file (Version 0.9c) using Vortex. Now, when I activate the main file and the update, it does not give me an option to overwrite the main file's ESP with the updated version from 0.9c. Am I doing something wrong or have I just missed something?

 

Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated!

Having the same problem with ZW's Power Armor Overhaul. It just adds the files and ESP's instead of overwriting them. Some of the files need to be overwritten along with the ESP's in order for the mod to work correctly.

Here is what should happen if you install a mod with an esp, then install an updated esp for the mod

 

Hypothetical - install version 9.0
Vortex installs and deploys version 9.0 esp

 

Install version 9.1 Vortex installs 9.1 and says there's a file conflict between Mod version 9.0 and mod version 9.1, then you tell vortex to load 9.1 AFTER 9.0 which in turn overwrites it properly.

This is if the "update" actually has an esp file and is not just a mesh or texture update.
