Wolfskin75 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Is there a way to a) change the name of the file in Vortex to something that tells me what it is? b.) allow me to open up that mod so I know what is it when where it is in my download file? This is just a taste of what vortex looks like. Main File Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deleted34304850 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 double click on a mod and a hidden panel will show up on the right, which will allow you to add nexusmods as the source of the file (if you got it from there) and then you can use that to query nexusmods for metadata about the mod, which should fill in some of the missing data.

I am in the mods section when I see this. I pull up the actually mod and see what it is. It doesnt mean any good cause the mods then will not update. Even when I double click it, it brings up some the infor but thst doesnt matter cause I cant edit any of the information anyway. Even if I knew the name it wouldn't matter... I am not able to change that. I have actually able been able to open the mod in the folder which is fact name correctly. I did play around with MO2 (didnt like it) but deleted. Is that an issue. Cause I have all my tools installed and I am not reinstalling vortex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmm200 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I run 96 mods on Fallout 4. None of those show a mod name of Main file. Mine are a mixture of Nexusmods download with Vortex, manual download, and third party site.Something is wrong with your settings or how you install mods.If you provide the information requested, we may be able to spot what it is.
