Also, at Nexusmods, just go up in the menu and click DOWNLOAD HISTORY. Also, next time, click TRACK on every mod you download and use, and you will get a customized list of the mods, and you'll also be able to check in a glance if any of the mods have been updated, by clicking MODS----->"TRACKED MODS" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saurusmaximus Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Can't you just search the second hard drive for your mod files? Or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter, the INFO for all of the mods was on the C:\ drive, now all that info is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, sorry for the time, got busy since, but it's fine I found all my mod, I changed all the vortex folder emplacements to another hard drive before in the options and it was just vortex who changed it back for the originals, i just had to change it again and everything is fine now, all the mods works fine I had nothing to reinstall or else, but I'll follow your advice "click TRACK on every mod" thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyRJump Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Can't you just search the second hard drive for your mod files? Or am I missing something? Doesn't matter, the INFO for all of the mods was on the C:\ drive, now all that info is gone. Search around for a tool called GetDataBack and you'll be able to retrieve 99% of your lost data, as long as you don't use the disk you want to recuperate data from as the drive which has the operating system. I've been using GetDataBack for almost twenty years on drives, from customers from a shop I do the occasional job for, that got stuck (too much expansion due to getting hot and cooling off again) or even formatting.
