Dunno why everyone hates vortex that much, it worked better for me than steam workshop, for instance, in most cases tbh. I can pick a specific mod version, either automatically download or manually import them, switch profiles and games with few buttons...

I've also tried thunderstore with r2modman and despite being open source it's years behind even vortex in terms of usability and UX.

Jesus Christ what a mess and still no Linux support

Nexus Mods tries not to create a new mod manager challenge. Impossible.

It’s so annoying. They’re all so counter intuitive and just when I think I’ve learned one they make a new one. Please just stop.

just use MO2 it’s better anyway unless you’re playing a game that doesn’t work on MO2 like cyberpunk there’s no reason to use vortex or whatever’ll come next

I haven’t modded since the times of Wrye Bash. My neurons wince in pain as I try to remember which software did what.

I hope they consider finding a way to make linux support a bit less clunky. I know its a bit more daunting because instead of just finding the c: drive you gotta find a bunch of proton/wine directories of windows that these games are hidden in, but it’d be nice for it to work a little bit better as long as I point it in the right direction.

conciselyverbose,

How daunting is it? It's an extra field in your database for Steam app ID with the ability to use a file picker for non-steam games.

This is interesting to say the least. I tried out Vortex on my last major Stardew Valley playthrough and I found it a bit clunky. I got it to work, but I feel like it had a learning curve to its own vocabulary and how it organized everything. Then when I found a few of the mods recommended skipping Vortex and just doing a direct download, I keyed in to a much simpler workflow I could wrap my head around with updating the mods.

Interested to see what the new app might look like in time. If they can take lessons learned from Vortex and apply them forward, that’s great.

JackbyDev,

its own vocabulary

So true. It’s like they picked the weirdest words.
