Where are mod config files located

[Sylisca]

I've run into this with many games, and its really frustrating to try and understand, but where the hell are the config files located? I always get frustrated and just end up downloading and managing them manually.

 

With most games, there is either a folder in the games directory, or a file within the mods main folder located within the mods folder, but because vortex stores the mod in its zipped form in a separate location from the game folder, it doesn't seem to generate the default config the way I would expect it to.

 

I am trying to mod Valheim. and have also run into this issue with stardew and a few other games in the past, back when it was nexus mod manager

The zipped files that Vortex stores away are just the Downloaded Unzipped Mod ARCHIVES.

 

All you have t9o do to find the Unzipped and Installed Mod files is to go to the MODS tab in vortex, right click a mod and pick OPEN IN FILE MANAGER

 

 

You can also check where the Mods directory (Mod staging folder) is located by clicking on SETTINGS------>MODS and it will show you the path to your mods, which is probably %userdata%\{game} or something similar.

Or if using Vortex, just click the "Open" button from the mods tab, then choose "Open mod staging folder" from its dropdown
