Deleted57486346User Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Having problems with duplicate files when manually installing fallout 4 files, I'll drag and drop a file onto the mod page and vortex will duplicate it. Any ideas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Are you downloading the mods with Vortex AND dragging them to Vortex?If so, then you're manually adding a Second Copy of the Mods you've got downloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted57486346User Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 I'm downloading manually off nexus then dragging them to vortex from my pc,, then they get duplicated and I end up with 2 copies, but it doesn't happen with all the mods I drag over just some also it seems to be random which ones get duplicated.ive even tried uninstalling and reinstalling vortex same problem, doesn't happen when I download straight to vortex only when I drag manual downloads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 When you download Manually, what folder are they downloading to?Because if the ones you're manually download get downloaded to the vortex Download folder, then you're doubling them by dragging the file into Vortex for a second time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted57486346User Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 No they go to my default downloads folder on my pc also I purged everything from vortex, this is recent problem I've noticed it for maybe the last week or so before that I've been using vortex for over a year with no problems whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By deleting mods from the Download and Mod Staging folder using Windows Explorer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted57486346User Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 I deleted all mods and archives in vortex then used the purge Button then checked my fo4 data folder to confirm , I've tried this several times plus reinstalling vortex it strange how only some mods duplicate themselves,there is one thing I noticed though is it happens mostly with mods which have large files,but it's never been a problem before as I have an almost NASA computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should have this kind of structure D:\Mods\skyrimse\D:\Mods\fallout4\ D:\downloads\skyrimse\D:\downloads\fallout4\ etc. Some people end up with a mess like this D:\mods\skyrimse\fallout4\ which starts showing all mods or doubling them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noir4C Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Hello everyone, i have the same problem with that Vortex MM 1.2.17, im modding Skyrim SE,I'll drag and drop a file on the mod page and vortex will duplicate it ,as an example "Music - HQ-18115-0-1.7z 422 MB" I also believe that it is because of the mod size and i don't know if there was a problem in the previous version. so when i press the button "Install From File" i don't have this problemI currently only have the problem with Skyrim SE, and I hope it doesn't affect my other games "Fallout 4 mod" Thanks for your help (sorry for my bad english Q_Q)operating system Win 10 Pro PS: I personally believe it is due to the update Vortex MM 1.2.11 to Vortex MM 1.2.17 Download structure:C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\downloads Mod structure: D:\Vortex Mods\VortexSkyrimSE Game structure: D:\Games\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
