Ive recently run into a problem with trying to install bodyslide for skyrim se, i follow the bodyslide install instructions but it seems to turn my bodyslide exe and every other file into "VORTEX_LNK file" Have i installed it wrong?

 

 

Are you creating shortcuts to bodyslide.exe?

I have the same problem

 

Downloaded Bodyslide via Vortex, directory is d:/VortexDownload/Bodyslide.rar

 

Installed via Vortex, directory is d:/staging/bodyslide

 

All files in the staging directory has got .vortex_lnk extention, so I couldnt execute Bodyslide from inside Vortex

Your directory paths do not include folders for the game for which you're using BodySlide. Could that be the problem?

im having this problem when i change my linking thing from hardlink deployment to move deployment i have the body slide extention already selected and made but as normal bodyslide hates to actually function so i have to use move deployment but vortex changes the files into LNK files for some ungodly reason so now i either cant use bodyslide or i cant use bodyslide fr why is bodyslide so dogshit bro how hard is it for the damn thing to recognise the files right f*#@ing next to it

nevermind the mod chose the wrong place for all of my folders i went in and changed it but yeah the lnk is tied to switching your deployment option its really weird and annoying if it happens to you just switch it back to hard link and go into your actual skyrim or fo4 folder then link bodyslide from there and you wont need to worry about lnk files because vortex wont make any

That is how move deployment works.

As the name implies: the actual files get moved to the game directory for the game to see them. Then Vortex creates these .vortex_lnk files so it knows which file used to be in this location so that the deployment can be reversed.
