Keep my mods after reinstall ?

[Aratheor]

Hi , i just found an SSD in the park last night (joke) and i wonder if i Can uninstall Fallout 4 to reinstall it on my SSD . Will Vortex remember the mods i had and just reinstall them ?

Please provide more detail, using the guidelines found here: How to Request Vortex Support.

Assuming you're adding SSD as an extra disk, I would do something similar to:

 

Switch to a blank profile in Vortex.

Hit Purge on mods tab.

Exit Vortex.

In Steam, create new Steamapp-folder on SSD.

Use Steam to move game to the new Steamapp-folder.

Run game launcer once to setup registry etc.

Start Vortex and either Vortex Will automatically detect game, or you need to manually give new location

After finding game, you need to change the location of "mod staging folder" under settings. Specify a location on new SSD.

 

Now if you're lucky, Vortex Will move all mod files to new SSD, but granted it can take a long time. If you're unlucky Vortex get stuck with no progress for a long time. If this is the case the best is to nuke old mod folder and re-install the mods.

 

If movement is successful, change back to original profile, update shortcuts etc. and start playing.
