Transfer from NMM to Vortex

[Mars11]

So just installed Vortex, connected it with my profile and everything and closed down NMM just to be safe. So I went to the mod section of Vortex to try and import from NMM, now when I click on it a migration tool screen is supposed to pop up, though when I click on NMM on the import bit nothing happens. No migration tool popups or anything, though when I click on import from Mod Organizer that screen pops up right away.

 

I have NMM, all my mods are installed on there, there is no reason the migration tool should not be popping up.

 

Game I am trying to load mods from is Fallout 4 by the way.

I do recommend not to import anything. We have been advising others ( apparently you have not read any thread in this forum related to importing ) to give a second thought when trying to import from NMM.

 

Unless you really know what you are doing, don't do that ! The way Vortex handles load order is not the same as NMM and when transferring mods from it, you could have issues and if you do not know how to fix them in Vortex, you will end up very frustrating.

 

Why, why and why you want to start learning O,P,Q, when way back, there are A,B and C ? Learn Vortex from simple to complex and you will do a great favor to yourself.

 

Do you want to really use Vortex as your new mod manager ? Delete all your mods and wipe out NMM from your PC, install Vortex, play your game vanilla and install mods one by one. Then you will learn from simplicity and you will be happy with this approach. Again, it is your personal call. If you want to import, go ahead and good luck fixing your load order. I am advising you exactly what I did and I did not have any problem.

 

But before everything said above : have you do your reading and watching Videos ? Vortex is NOT difficult but COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from NMM. Digest that in your mind and you should be fine. Trust me, it is not difficult, but if you want this program to work perfectly fine for you, do your homework first and Vortex will do what you told it to do. Vortex is so simple that once you learn it, you will be amazed with it but again, it is different. So, divorce from NMM and marry Vortex. Let me tell you, when you marry for the second time, never bring your past to your present relation otherwise you will destroy your current marriage.

 

If you skip some reading and you are desperately to use Vortex, that approach will lead you to a disaster with your game and do not come back here saying that it was Vortex's fault. You are the man behind the wheel … if you do not know how to drive, you will get into a fatal accident !! We cannot drive for you ! Good luck.
