Vortex and updating mods

[Nipatran]

Do i really have to manually update every mod with an update, then install it, make sure it uses the correct version and remove the older version?

 

is this really a such a shitshow like a self driving car that only knows which blinker to flash while i do everything or am i just too retarded to find a button, like any other modding manager would have, something like "keep mods update" or "automaticly download all updates" or am i really stuck doing this several dozen time manually because such automata is just so impossible, apart from every other mod manager managing to make such thing?

i guess either way thanks for this glorified bookmark program that keeps track of the mods and remembers the links to the page so i can manually click download, why would i ever want to put every mod with updates to download and then figure out if i wish to install the update or not, just outrageous idea

I would NEVER want a mod manager that automatically updated my mods, like STEAM WORKSHOP does.
Especially with updates to Creation Club coming out on a regular basis, that would mean the updated mods wouldn't work with the current version of the latest Script Extender etc.

You click the Check for Updates button, you click the Download Icon next to the mod, and it will download and install, after that you can choose to delete the older version via the small drop down menu next to the mod

You can download NMM from the Vortex download page. It is at the bottom.

Happy modding.

so how does this differ from a notepad with links? it just gives me the page from the nexusmod for me to click download, atleast manually without this, i save some processor power

Here you go, it's on the same page as the download Vortex page brings you to, just scroll to the bottom and click on the "Community Release"

 

It was designed that way because the mod pages are a mess and NMM downloaded wrong links etc because Mod Authors sometimes named their files wrong, put the wrong version etc.

It was easier to allow the person to quickly go to the mod page and choose the correct version and download
