Need to Double Enable Mods Now

[Deleted35607895User]

Lately I've discovered that although I install/Enable mods Vortex isn't enabling the mod even though it initially shows in Enabled. After closing Vortex I run LOOT, which show the mod Disabled. I have to go back into Vortex and Enable it again. This happens whether or not I Enable it manually or use the handy right-hand upper pop-up to Enable. I wonder if it's a problem of having many mods? Didn't used to do that, but then again I had a lot less mods.

 

Can I run LOOT while Vortex is still open? Perhaps there's some unintended thing I missed while using Vortex? Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

btw, using the latest V.

Do you deploy after you enable? If not, that would explain your problem. In Vortex deployment is necessary in order to fix in place the mod hardlinks in the game data folder until such time as you purge them.

 

You can run LOOT while Vortex is open. However, you don't need LOOT because it's already integrated into Vortex. Simply allow Vortex to do your plugin sorting.

I've seen Deploy only in a few instances in the upper right corner. If I download or update, just hit the Deploy button the Mods tab and that'll do it? Will that also do the check for when Vortex asks which mod version of updates need to be Enabled? That pop-up happens at irregular intervals so from my perspective it seems rather random.

Vortex by default turns on auto-deployment. To check if it's active in your Vortex installation, go to: Vortex Dashboard > Settings > Interface > "Deploy Mods When Enabled." The slider needs to be set to the "on" position. (You may also want to click on the information icon next to the slider for more detail about deployment.)

 

When you say a mod is disabled, do you mean only the plugin is disabled, do you mean both plugin and mod are disabled?

 

To my knowledge, deployment doesn't check for which mod version needs to be enabled. However, if you have several versions of the same mod enabled, then Vortex will say something about that when deployed. Do you have several versions of the same mod installed and enabled?

 

Finally, in order that others in this forum can better help you, please provide more detail using the guidelines found here: How to Request Vortex Support.

@ OP .... to second what Augusta Calidia suggested to you about LOOT, make sure that Auto-Sort is ON in the Plugin Section and Vortex will auto-sort your plugins in the same way LOOT does it.

 

There is no need to run LOOT anymore so working with Vortex is more simple, straightforward and more precise than any other program out there. Just trust it 100% and give it a shot, obviously, you need to remove from your brain the old school and teaching you had about how to manage mods.
