OldWolf63 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I've never seen this before, and I couldn't find it here in the forum, so I'm hoping someone knows about this. I'd been having problems with CTD, so I decided to remove all mods and start over. Now, every time I download a mod through Vortex, when I click to install, I get an error box that says "Sorting Mods Failed Rules Contain Cycles." Other than that message, all the box contains is the Dismiss button. At the moment, I have 7 mods installed, and the last one cause that error box to pop up 7 times. I've tried closing and restarting Vortex, checked my load order using LOOT, and I'm still getting the error once for every mod installed. My question is, is this something I need to fix, and, if so, how? Or is it something I can safely ignore as being just another Vortex glitch? I should also mention that I am not by any means an expert with computers. Any advice or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldWolf63 Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Still downloading mods, and now getting that error three times with each mod installed. The messages last a few seconds, then vanish. And, according to LOOT, the load order is fine, no changes needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldWolf63 Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 Got all my mods installed and been playing, getting the usual random CTD, and I'm still getting multiple error messages every time I go into Vortex. Sorting Mods Failed Rules Contain Cycles. Any ideas of thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AugustaCalidia Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I can't. When the message appears, all I have is the option to dismiss, and the messages vanish after a few seconds. Is this the message that you're getting? If not, what is the exact message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldWolf63 Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 The exact message is the same as the title to this topic. Sorting Mods Failed Rules Contain Cycles. Other than that, the only thing in the box is the Dismiss button, and the messages vanish after a few seconds. Last time I started Vortex, I got the error 19 times.

WildBorr Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 A little late, and not sure if this has been answered elsewhere...But I also am getting the exact same error's as the screenshot above. Cant eliminate any errors because I have no option to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant eliminate any errors because I have no option to? After the message appears, can you still sort your mods by pressing the sort button? Also, can you still play your game? Do the cyclic rules adversely affect your game in any way? Go to the "Dependencies" column on the game mods page and select "Conflict." (That allows you to see only the mods with overlapping files issues.) Are all the lightening bolts green? If your answers to these questions are "yes," "yes," "no," and "yes," then it would appear that the warning is a false positive. In that case, it's possible that the warning is generated because of superfluous but non-conflicting rules rather than because of cycles, strictly speaking. For example, if you set a rule that Mod B load after Mod A, then there is no need to set a rule that Mod A load before Mod B. That rule would be superfluous.
