profiles and nonenabled mods?

[pedigreeann]

In NMM, I have three profiles, with different mods enabled, for my gung-ho Red Guard lady, my teenaged Breton mage, and my amnesiac why-did-they-dump-me-in-this-abandoned-prison-and-who-are-THEY? Imperial. When I look at the Vortex listing, only the mods for the last character, the Imperial, are listed. I need to know whether the profile system for NMM still works with Vortex and how to access non-enabled files. And I liked the themed category organization of the NMM; going strictly by the names of the mods make it difficult to find, say, all the player houses I might drop or add for a particular character. (My Imperial goes for small cabins in isolated places. No buying in-town houses, mansions, castles, etc. Anybody might be THEM.)

Do you have the CATEGORY column turned on?

Each profile shows every mod downloaded or installed for that game.

A specific profile only enables the selected mods for that profile.

If you don't see specific mods on the Mods page - Vortex does not know about them. Install them again.

Had to register: I am on the plugins page. When I go back to mods page, only one, newly downloaded mod is shown.

 

 

rmm: Does Volcano store profiles, or am I going to have to write down every mod for each character and store it on paper? This would be a serious step back in usefulness from NMM. I've had to recreate too many large datasets in toto moving from machine to machine or OS to OS in my lifetime (I'm 67) to be willing to do it for this changeover. Maybe I should just delete Volcano and give up getting mods from Nexus.

If you don't know the name of the mod manager - that is a bad sign.

 

Of course Vortex keeps track of which mods are enabled for each profile.

 

Say you have a default profile. Call it Default. It uses mods A through F.

Profile Test 1 clones Default and adds Mods G through J.

Profile Test 2 clones Default and adds Mods K though M.

 

Select profile Test 1. The Mods page shows Mods A through F and G through J enabled.

Now switch to profile Test 2. The Mods page shows Mods A through F and K through M enabled.

Do you have the Disabled, Enabled filter on, or do you have TEXT in the Mod Name search box?

Is there any text in the MOD NAME box?
