"The mod "xxx" has multiple plugins" - What does this mean?

[Byg]

I think I have found if you install a mod via FOMOD installer which has multiple options (let's say you select 2 out of 4 plugin options e.g. patches) then you get

"The mod "xxx" has multiple plugins" with an option to enable or dismiss.

However it appears the two you selected in FOMOD are already enabled and dismiss does nothing, i.e. leaves the same 2 enabled.

Is this correct or have I missed something? Anyone in a position to double check this?

 

I hope this is the case as I have varied my choices between enable and dismiss, having installed multiple mods via FOMOD in vortex

Why don't the installers work with Vortex?

When you say "installers," are you talking about FOMOD installers? They do work with Vortex, but sometimes a FOMOD installer has options with multiple plugins that you have to deal with manually, as HadToRegister pointed out. If you don't want to enable all the plugins, then you open the Vortex plugins tab, as rmm200 said, and enable only the plugins you want. In NMM, however, all the plugins would already be enabled, and you would have to disable the ones you didn't want.

 

Augusta, thank you! You helped me understand that I needed to go to the plugins tab, not the mods tab.
