Hi, my name is Raul and i'm Brazilian, so sorry for my bad english. I have problems to download mods using the option "vortex" in nexusmode, they don't recognize vortex to open and download. I have checked the proper boxes and logged in. I dont know how to fix that. I did setup Vortex correctly following the Wiki and Gopher. Prinsn , the download with mod manager button is controlled by both mod authors and our staff. Our staff will never disable the button unless the author is providing an installer for the mod.

More often, the mod authors themselves would disable the button for one reason or another - please clarify this with the mod author. Wikt0ri0 , are you using FireFox by any chance? FireFox tends to hold its own file associations and may have been configured to automatically start up NMM instead of Vortex.

At this point your file will be added to the "Mods" tab where you can manage your new file. Once a file download has been completed NMM will automatically add the file to the "Mods" tab.

The Mods tab contains all the mods and files that you have downloaded or added to your game manually. When you download a file it will be added to the Mods tab, but it will not be active which means it won't show up in the game until you activate it.

NMM does not automatically activate mods as there is a chance your downloads will conflict with currently installed files, and we think it's best if you manage this process manually so you do not inadvertently break your game. To activate and install a mod simply select the mod within the Mods tab and click the "Activate" button.

To deactivate and uninstall a mod simply click the "Deactivate" button. You can also double-click the mod in the list to activate or deactivate mods. Store Page. Global Achievements.

If you add one mod and then another mod wants to Over-Write files of another mod, you have to keep track of what files get over-written in case you want to reverse that and restore those files.

Using Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 removes that step by remembering what is over-written by what. Many of us Modding Veterans used to manually install our mods and when Mod Organizer 1 came along, it was like a weight was lifted from our shoulders. Both Managers use a Virtual Folder System that prevent corruption of the game's data folder.

Manual Modding your game always runs the risk of you having to totally reinstall the game to clean the data folder because the file system gets so buggered from installing and uninstalling mods that your game crashes every time you launch it. Last edited by JDaremo Fireheart ; 27 Feb, am.
