Deleted vortex mod but it’s still showing in gameplay

[w1ixi]

Playing a mod that I downloaded from nexus into vortex. I then decided that the mod was not working the way I liked . Iâm starting a brand new play through at character creation and as soon as I get outside Helen I instantly know that the mod is still there

I canât find the mod in vortex or in my data folder

 

I believe itâs multiple mods that arenât being deleted

 

Anyone else have this problem? And Iâm sticking with vortex for good as I like it mostly

 

Iâve read about purge but basically will I have to start over with skse etc

*most mods uninstall cleanly for the most part.

 

However, if you've played for a while with some mods, they often leave behind scripts and references after being uninstalled, since your save files are not touched by the un-installation process, only the game framework.

 

As such... If you haven't already done so, install Fallrim Tools, so you can clean your save file(s) of those leftover scripts and references.

1. uninstall mod
2. open game
3. load current save (or whichever saves you play with)
   - you will likely see a note that "such and such mod is missing"
   - continue into game
4. create a new save, (not an autosave)
5. close game
6. run Fallrim tools (file to run is called "Resaver.exe"... Create a shortcut to desktop so you have it available when needed)
7. open the save file
8. rid file of Unattached Instances and Undefined Elements
9. save file to a new name
10. open game, load new save

This should get rid of those leftovers you are seeing

 

Also, note that *some mods offer MCM tools to allow their un-installation with the fewest problems. If you have such a mod and want to uninstall it,. use the tool(s) they provide before uninstalling the mod.
