uninstalling old mods from old nexus mod manager

[Insanecheshirecat]

so I have had a problem with vortex because it does not detect older mods from the old manager as mods, they will often load in the wrong order and cause bugs and even with disabled it will still cause some bugs as well as stop you from downloading the same mod again, this is a issue that needs to be fixed by letting the user delete old plug ins, also some of these plug ins are sneaky and are hidden or not in the same file! this needs to be a feature in the future

Personally I disagree.

It's really bad practice to add features to a software that deliberately messes with the features/functions of another software.

Also, that's the exact reason why both the Knowledge Guide and the import process tells you to uninstall the mods from NMM before using Vortex.

Edit: Third sentence was referring to the issues you had encountered and not the sentence before it. Just wanted to clarify as looking at it now, it's a bit confusing as it was.

From the sounds of it, you uninstalled your old mod manager without bothering to uninstall all the mods you installed with it, and are now expecting Vortex to just "know" all of this information.

 

That's like making a Lasagna, eating it, never cleaning out the pan, then making another lasagna in the same dirty pan, and then complaining that there was old crusty burnt cheese and pieces of the previous lasagna in your newly baked one and then being mad at the pan for not being clean.
