Suggestion For Vortex

[bhmftw]

Hi,

 

I spent 3 hours trying to get vortex to work properly with FNIS and SKSE for skyrim SE, tutorials, googling everything I could, trying numerous walkthroughs, step by step, video by video only to fail again and again before losing patience, uninstalling, and installing an old archive version of NMM.

 

I have no idea how it can go from a two second procedure, to something that an avg user cannot achieve in 3 hours.

 

Granted I am by no means technically awesome in this area, but in reality I had both mods operational on NMM in less than 5 minutes...

 

You need to make criticial mods such as FNIS and SKSE easier to install with vortex, Or perhaps a more comprehensive tutorial, because although vortex is a pretty gui, things have changed in such a way that makes it very unfamiliar.

 

It almost feels like you totally pulled a Microsoft, released a new version, changed the location and naming of all options, and left it to us to decypher the mess.

 

I understand it is not finished, I am simply trying to give feedback from an avg mod user.

 

thanks for your time

When I first started using Vortex with Skyrim SE over a year ago, I set up FNIS and SKSE64 in about five minutes. The procedure was basically no different from what I did in NMM and MO (for Skyrim). Why some people can get the job done in NMM but not in Vortex is a mystery to me. I found nothing complex about it at all.

Setting up SKSE took the same amount of time for me, using NMM or Vortex, around 5 minutes.

 

Vortex even autodetects SKSE if you have it installed properly. (Manually, which is how you should install it)

As far as FNIS, I used vortex to install it, then used ADD TOOL in Vortex, navigated to the FNISGenerateUuser.exe (Or whatever it's called) and I was done.

 

What exactly is it you're trying to do that you're making it so difficult for yourself?

 

 

Personally I would skip the "Turn SKSE into a MOD tutorial" as it's an advanced step.

It's much faster and easier to just read the installation instructions in the SKSE readme and install it manually.
