sephironth Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I have 2 installation of fallout4 and skyrim. All steam "Fresh" installation are on the other drive and untouched. I always make a copy of Fallout4 and skyrim on a diffident drive to be modded and played.If patches/updates roll out on steam, the one that I have spared and have been modded will not be affected by that force patch and still be playable. Saves me the trouble of waiting mod updates.Can Vortex handle a game that is not on a direct steam installation directory?I'm curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Yes, I use Vortex to handle a couple of my GOG games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Also, you might want to look into the mods "Fallout 4.Exe Auto Backup" that automatically backs up your Fallout 4 exe when an update happens, and Skyrim SE exe Auto Backup that does the same thing for SkyrimSe, it could save you disk space.

sephironth Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Cool... Thanks.Mine "Vortex installed" won't deploy the mods installed on my separate game even they are both on the same drive. This must be a "Lucky few" bug? also from what I read on reddit.

Pickysaurus Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 What error are you getting when trying to deploy? Please note that the "Install Path" under "Mods" in the settings can't point to the game directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephironth Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Well, I did do the file path on vortex seems like it prioritize the original steam installation E: than the modded copy on D:. I have to remove the file path that goes to E:. Minor problem fixed.I need to tweak or play-around more on vortex. Just found out about the Manage groups tab. Way more easier that "Load after"...
