Magistrate2020 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Is it possible? I need to format my PC and reinstall windows, but I wouldn't want to lose all the installed mods and the carefully crafted skyrim setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted34304850 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 is your current gaming environment on the same drive as your windows install? you may want to look at using steam to move your games, and back up your various mod directories to another disk or external pen drive as a temporary measure then re-import them once your system is back.

Magistrate2020 Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Yes, they're on the same drive.You're saying if I format, reinstall steam and put back the skyrim folder where it is supposed to be Vortex will be none the wiser like it never happened? Doesn't Vortex have some config/prefs files I should save before formatting to allow it rebuild the file structure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 You will need to back up the following files:Your Vortex Staging FolderYour Vortex Download FolderYour Vortex Appdata Folder (Appdata\Vortex)Once you've done that, after reinstalling Windows, make sure you put those folders back in the same paths they were previously, then when you download Vortex again it should see the configuration as it was before. If your games are installed to different folders you will need to point them to the right place when starting Vortex.
