Totally confused by rules interface.

I get several mods saying that they have conflicting files. I'm given the options to provide no rule, load before, load after, and file conflicts, for each of the files that conflict. Which file(s) is each item being compared to? I have tried every which way and it tells me I have circular arguments or the icon conitinues to show red. I have only succeeded in making the problem worse than better by trying to remedy them.

There are helpful explanations in your Vortex Knowledge Base accessed from the Vortex dashboard.

Stop trying to manually sort the Plugins, that's why you're getting Cyclic rules

When Vortex talks about a file conflict, it's talking about the MODs tab
If you click on SHOW and MORE when the notification pops up, vortex will filter yourf mod list to show only the mods conflicting.

These things would be so much easier if you read the knowledge base, and watched the Tutorial videos, because these are basic steps that have been answered time and time again.

Do yourself a favor, stop blindly poking around in Vortex, and read the knowledge base, and watch the Tutorials.
