I can confirm thou this was right after the 1.2.14 update. I'm avoiding a new install from the archive "Vortex (custom install location)", do not want to risk to lose almost 1100 active mods. It would be painful.

Just install Vortex again, and if you're using Windows Defender, turn off "Controlled Folder Access, and/or disable any antivirus before reinstalling.
Vortex doesn't disappear on it's own, something on your system is removing it, like an overzealous AV program.

Think i'm going to try this. My only concerned is losing my active mod list. Do you think that's possible or should I wait?

Reinstalling Vortex should have no effect on your mod list

Is MalwareBytes still disabled, or did you enable it again?

I am eager for ModPaks in the future! Now with kids I don't have time to screw around with mods to get it perfect and am willing to pay for the ModPak to save my time.

Which is why a lot of modders don't like or want mod packs, because if you're paying for a modpack, then it's the person who put the modpack together that's getting paid, and NOT the people who actually made the mods.
There's already someone who did that and has their modpack behind a paywall on patreon, so while a bunch of mod authors did all the work, the guy who made the modpack is making all the money of other people's efforts.

If older modders balk they can be left out of the profits and a new generation of open minded modders can step in and earn profit collaborating on ModPaks.

Modders are already being left out of the profits!
Do you think that the people who basically took mods without permission, then made a modpack and are charging money for it are sending each modder a cut of those profits?
NO.
Currently the problem is, people making the modpacks aren't asking permission from the modders, and are making modpacks, then putting them behind paywalls and making money of them.
Essentially stealing the mods, packing them together and making money off the work of others.
Modders aren't even being given a say on whether they want or don't want their mods in mod packs.

You make it sound as if making a bunch of mods work properly requires no effort. Creating a functioning mod list on Wabbajack is a mammoth task when you incorporate multiple, complex mods. I know because I've tried. There's no easy way to do it.

If this person isn't taking credit for creating the mods, then there's nothing wrong with putting a price on the time it takes to create a functioning mod pack. People are free to charge for their mods in the same way if they like, nothing's stopping them. In fact I recall paying Chesko years ago when he originally set up a patreon to help fund his mod development (before he had to take it down).

I would also happily pay for working mod packs regardless of who is setting them up. Edited June 15, 2020 by llihP

Ah recently I got the notification to vote for modpack support, however it seems to be closed? It stated in the original message it will be open until August 30th. It is only June 13th. Surely the Google survey should still be open?

 

"The form What do you think about mod packs? - Mod Author Survey is no longer accepting responses.

Try contacting the owner of the form if you think this is a mistake."

I got a notification in Vortex that a new version of F4SE is out.

 

I DO NOT want vortex automatically 'checking' anything except itself.

 

Were did I give you permission to snoop around my PC and check what other software I have?
