Just be aware if you need to ask for help, that mod authors who say to not use Vortex may not be willing to offer you support if you have problems. Basically, you can use Vortex as a direct replacement for NMM for virtually every mod author’s installation instructions.
Very large mods that have always needed at least a partly manual installation (like Weaponsmith Extended) will still need this. The only mods that cannot be installed with Vortex, are ones that cannot be installed by any mod manager. Like NMM and MO2, Vortex can install anything into the Data folder. (I haven’t seen this in the last few months with the except of Weaponsmith Extended, so you’re not likely to see it anymore.) Mod authors may do this because they don’t want to deal with bugs in the mod manager itself while trying to provide technical support for their mods. In general, the support forums for Vortex are helpful, and the devs themselves make regular appearances there and occasionally help out, so please go there to resolve bugs with the program.īecause Vortex is newer than NMM or MO2 and has more bugs, many mod authors on the Nexus advise against using it or say explicitly that you shouldn’t install their mods with it. (Vortex is now post version 1.0 and I haven’t experienced any serious bugs in ages.) I have included in my advice here some basic troubleshooting and best practices for avoiding bugs. Please note that Vortex is still in early BETA – Bugs are inevitable. This guide is aimed at people switching over from NMM or MO2, who already have a solid grasp on the basics. If you are completely new to modding, make sure you read some guides on how to set up your game and the basics of modding. If Vortex is your first Mod Manager, you’ll have an easier time than people switching. I’m not a modding expert, but I have tinkered with Fallout 4 a lot, and I haven’t had any extensive issues with Vortex in spite of running hundreds of mods.īuilding a load order with Vortex is an entirely different system from previous mod managers. After seeing that a lot of people are having trouble using Vortex, I thought I would share some tips from my own experience.
