How can I export enabled/installed mods to a text file in their load order?

[nexodexo]

I want to export a flat file of every enabled mod I have installed in their proper load orders. If this feature does not exist, surely there is some kind of Vortex data file I can read/parse to get the info?

Vortex normally generates a load list accessible at /(username)/Documents/My Games/(name of the game)/ during the deployment process.

 

or I should say it does so for Skyrim Special Edition anyway. I would presume that it does the same for any game. (presuming you use the default installation locations)

I don't see anything in there, but I did look in here:

 

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\skyrim\profiles\Q7ZDX5iVR

 

loadorder.txt there seems to match the list in plugins when I sort by load order, so maybe this answers the question

Whoops!!! sorry about that. I accidentally posted where you find the ini files. My bad. Yes, you got the location correct.

 

Remember though that that only reports plugins, not installed mods. (not all mods include plugins)

 

for instance, I have 363 mods installed, (I just counted them), but I only have ~304 user installed plugins represented in my game (about 1/3 are "light"). And some of those mods have multiple plugins, so it's not as if only 59 mods (363-304) have no plugins, the number is greater.

Is there a file with the mod load order (NOT the plugins), too? Or where does Vortex save its rules for conflicting mods?

[Pickysaurus]

Between this thread and this one, it sounds like you're just asking for a Collection?

[Cutleast]

No I'm not asking for a collection. I'm asking for a way to export Vortex' Mod order (again, NOT just the plugins, all mods).

Vortex modlist exporter

Vortex modlist exporter

This tool reads the startup/hourly.json of Vortex although it seems that there is no mod order saved. I read the file myself and can say that there are no rules or anything else saved that tell which mod gets loaded after which.

Load order is determined by the order the mods appear in the plugins.txt file in C:\Users\*Username*\AppData\Fallout4. Load order is descending. Loose files will override everything else. (and I don't think any plugin is required for those......)

 

What would be nice, is Vortex having the capability to export your installed mod list, (regardless of if there is an esp/esl/esm file associated) with pure texture mods (basically, mods that don't require an esp, etc) shown last. So far as I know, Vortex doesn't do that trick, yet. :D
