zixi Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I've just found out that profile management in Vortex works perfectly under Linux. I had a look at the Knowledge Base but I can't see if there's any limit to the number of profiles; so is there? Nice functionality BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Pickysaurus Posted January 18, 2021 Solution Share Posted January 18, 2021 I'm fairly sure it isn't limited. I've never had more than 2 per game myself, but based on how it uses a semi-random string of characters to identify each profile you can probably have thousands before it becomes an issue.

zixi Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 Thanks! I don't imagine I'll get to thousands. It's really useful though especially when trying out new mods. Thanks for the reply!! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I've currently got Six for Skyrim SE1. A blank one with no mods,2. my original fully modded one,3. another fully modded with Ordinator (A perk mod that changes a LOT of things), 4. Another with Ordinator and a bunch of ESL Mihail Monster mods added5. Another with Ordinator, Mihail Monsters, and Interesting NPCs6. Another with Ordinator, Mihail Monsters,, and Spell Research and No spell tomes.I figured it'd be better to try out those other mods without completely hosing my original set up.

zixi Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 Yes, that's my plan-ish. I like trying out mods but I don't much like taking out and adding mods in order to test what's going on; sometimes that can add to the issues of course. And it can be really awkward getting them back just as they were. This means I can set up a new profile and add and subtract to my heart's content. I'm assuming one can delete profiles (haven't tried that - the KB is a bit terse). I haven't tried to see if one can add a saved game from another profile either. I'd quite like to save time by adding some unmodded 'starts'. There's only so much of Helgen even I can find exciting... and ditto the prison in LAL... Thanks for the reassurance though!

To use a different save from a different profile, I would look up the unique string given to the profile save folder EX: one of mine is F80nEnwMh, so I would copy one or all the saves from that folder to Profile save folder 1pOarCluf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
