kabbee Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Hello, I recently had to move my Fallout 4 to another drive and then i also had to move my Vortex mod folder to the same drive, i moved the mod folder manually but Vortex still cant find any of my mods. I could see all plug ins mod not my mods, everything was still installed. Another problem is that i accidentally just the purge function and now i lost all activated mods, can i redo that somehow?

HadToRegister Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 You should've moved your Vortex mod staging folder from INSIDE Vortex, because now Vortex has no idea where your installed mods are.People really need to stop moving folder around OUTSIDE of Vortex and expecting Vortex to pick right up where it left off.The Purge function has the option to Cancel it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you shouldn't Move Vortex's Mod Staging Folder by using Windows File Explorer. You should move it by using Vortex to move it You can try DEPLOYING your mods and see if they work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
