OH72 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Hi all. Due to a HD crash, I lost my previous installation of Vortex, Witcher 3 and the installed mod files. Upon reinstalling Vortex, it seemed to know how many mods I had used for Witcher 3, probably because some AppData survived somewhere. But the folder with the mods is gone. Now the question is - if Vortex knows how many mods there were, might there be a way to recover the mod list, so I can re-download the mods?

anjenthedog Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Well first thing you can do is (from the mods page rather than from inside the forums) click on Mods > Mod history. That should cover all the mods you downloaded here at nexus, since they're recorded. You can also check in the regular location for the load order if that folder still exists. ... /AppData/Local/Skyrim Special Edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 If you actual staging folder is gone you might be able to restore from your downloads folder by reinstalling the mods. If your downloads folder is also gone, you'll need to start over :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, if I search for "Witcher" in my mod download history, I see 28 mods. But Vortex tells me I had 23 mods active. Now if I look more closely, some of the mods in the download history are for Witcher 2, so maybe I can reconstruct it from there. I just wondered if Vortex somehow remembers "from a previous life" how many mods were active, it might also be able to tell me which ones...
