moridin9275 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Hi. I recently installed mods for skyrim. Everything was working fine. I then had to change computers. Everything was backup-ed on an external hardrive. I can still play skyrim but the problem arose when I reinstalled vortex: the mods no longer appear under mods, just under plugin all in grey. I assume it's a directory problem but I'm not sure what to do. Ultimately I could just delete everything and restart from scratch but i'd be happier not to do that.Thanks in advance for any help that can be given.

AugustaCalidia Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 When moving a Vortex managed game to a new computer, you need to move the following directories from the old computer: {USER}/AppData/Roaming/Vortex{USER}/AppData/Local/{GAME}Documents/My Games/{GAME}Did you do that?

moridin9275 Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 All that was on the external hardrive I'm running the game from so I assume i did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely the drive has a different letter now that you're on a computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moridin9275 Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 No idea. I did the brutal method(starting the modding over from scratch) and it works fine now. I'm pretty sure it was a directory problem but now that everything is working again... Admittedly the only reason I did the brutal method is thanks to the fact I didn't have that many mods installed.

moridin9275 Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 I don't think it was the drive letter as that is the letter of an external drive, which was the same in both computers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least it worked out, and it gave you even more experience with Vortex good or bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
