Dubbyk Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 OK so moving from NMM to Vortex, I did a fresh install of Fallout 4 to lessen any issues in moving over, I kept my NMM download folder to keep from having to re-download the THOUSANDS of mods I've collected over the years. I can get Vortex to "see" these mod files by moving them into Vortex's download folder but they are missing all meta data. NMM used to have a tool to refresh / find meta data. I can't seem to find such an option in Vortex, am I just missing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted34304850 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 its there, its just not obvious - double click on any mod you have imported into vortex, and a hidden panel will pop up on the right side where you can tell vortex that the mod source is nexusmods, it will then try to find the mod for you and populate the meta data you need.

sopmac45 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 ... and the double-clicking on the mod to see the meta data is available on video tutorials by Gopher and obviously you did not watch them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubbyk Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 @1ae0bfb8: Thanks that worked as you said it would, shame there isn't a "Refresh All" option like there used to be, will take a LOT of clicking to get it all back lol @sopmac451: I Didn't realize watching 3rd party YouTubers will annoying voices was a requirement for asking about a basic function of the program that was CLEARLY a visible button in the previous version of the program. In addition I DID watch the 3 videos made by Gopher that are listed on the top bar of the Vortex program under "tutorials". NOWHERE in those three videos that are listed under tutorials does he even say the word "meta data". It is also not covered anywhere in the "Knowledge Base" menu of the program. That has topics covering "categories" and says to use the process described by ae0bfb8 but I don't think it's a clear leap to connect how to make an arbitrary user made category (what the knowledge base covers) to that being the same process to establish the linkages between files and nexusmods.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
