Vortex corrupted mod info data, not updating plugin list

[dgenem]

I have tried Vortex twice. Once with a clean install of Skyrim SE when I first got it last year. This time, I have a fresh install of Windows 10 and everything else (because Oculus Rift needs 10) And again this week with Skyrim VR. But I keep having issues with it not properly installing, uninstalling, activating and deactivating mods. I have to come in behind it and do it manually. I gave up with Skyrim SE and just used NMM and LOOT. But Skyrim VR is not supported by it. So I am struggling with Vortex.

 

I have babied Vortex. Started off small, then a few more mods that were made or supported by Skyrim VR. But I did hit a wall when simple mods were preventing startup. Then others were freezing the game at load with errors. I found out the main roots (besides files not installed or some not removed) was the plugins and loadorder files. So I had to manually delete mods from that list that Vortex was supposed to uninstall.

 

Anytime I startup Vortex now, it keeps activating mods I told it to delete. So I cannot use it without having to manually clean up the mess. And it is putting files WAY out of load order. Some are at the top of everything where they definitely do not belong. And I have to remove them, and then use LOOT to reorder them.

 

I am assuming there are files that keep track of what mods are supposed to be installed that is corrupting itself. Because I have done 3 clean installs of Skyrim VR and Vortex. But at some point, it messes up with the mods and is no longer stable.

 

So I am stuck either finding a way to get NMM or Vortex to work with Skyrim VR. Either that or A LOT of manual handling of mods.

SO, where did you install vortex?

 

Where did you set your mod staging folder inside Vortex?

 

where did you put your Vortex Downloads folder?

Everything in the default locations on what Windows 10 identifies as drive C when it is running. I changed nothing.

One example I should list. I had the SKSE_VR working. Then something changed and now it does not work at all. So I focused on the rest and will come back to it later. But for some reason, Vortex is constantly adding skyui_se.esp back to the list when it starts. And it always puts it at the top as soon as I run it. That is just one of many glitches I am finding with it. I do not understand. I have let Vortex handle all the modding of this game so far. I did not do anything manually until it forced me to in order to fix it. But I am still trying to use Vortex for all mods.

Have you tried PURGING then Re-DEPLOYING the Mods?

 

 

Your Skyrim SKSE_VR was properly install, the loader and dlls in the game root folder and the scripts in the Data folder, and SKSE_VR in your Dashboard and Made "P{rimary" so it has a little banner on it so it autmoatically runs?

I will have to try that next. I will make a backup of the installation I have working first. I have learned to do that before making any large changes. Thanks. I do want Vortex to work properly since it seems to be a big success for most. I am always pushing to get what mods I want to work working. Even if it means tweaking them here and there. I got all the mods from regular Skyrim in SE. I will get what I can to work in VR somehow where possible.

 

First I have to fix a black face issue in the VR version, then make the backup. Thankfully, I know where to start and look for the problems.
