Vortex is not displaying Fallout New Vegas (FoNV) as a listed game, [in either the managed or unmanaged section]

[gannoncannon]

Hello

 

I am relatively new to modding, and I have been following Gopher's tutorial video Beginner's Guide to Modding FALLOUT: New Vegas (2020)#1 - Getting Started

 

It is for this reason that I followed his instructions regarding the FNV 4gb Patcher and New Vegas Script Extender (NVSE).

 

However When I downloaded Nexus' mod manager Vortex version ver 1.3.13 I had an issue as fallout new vegas has yet to appear as a supported game to link, despite the fact I installed it through steam and set the discovery to the correct file on my C: drive, and even specified the FNV game file.

 

my problem is that FNV does not appear at all on vortex not even as an 'unmanaged'

 

I have made sure that I am displaying all games hidden or otherwise, and that's not it.

 

here are screenshots of what I am referring to

 

managed games

 

Games in unmanaged in alphabetical order where FNV should be

 

"fallout" search

 

"New Vegas" search

 

I have only seemed to find 2 other instances of this issue, here on the nexus forums and a reddit thread with even less info which both seem inconclusive.

 

I have tried deleting and reinstalling Vortex and FNV multiple times to no effect. I've run out of ideas to try and fix the issue.

 

The nexus mods subreddit has directed me here as the best source of help for my info

Any Help/insight you can give would be greatly appreciated

 

Cheers.

Can you check your "Extensions" tab and see if the "Game: Fallout New Vegas" is present and enabled?

Ha egg on my face. I don't recall disabling FNV in extensions but that was it, cheers mate.
