Hands down the best modding tutorial. You seem to actually remember that the people looking these up know nothing about modding, hence needing a tutorial, and it's so nice to be in capable hands. I'm just going to slowly go through your tutorials and follow along.

Dude, I've only modded once before and it was manually. This seems amazing to me. Just getting back into gaming. Started Skyrim last year. Thanks for your patience! When people say they will talk slowly in these videos it always makes me feel like an idiot newb because I always have to go back in the same multiple times. Also thank you for not saying "and just click that" without specifying. Hope you know that you are an incredible educator.

Thanks for your work on this, Gopher. I'm by no means a beginner, but watching someone that knows what they're doing makes playing around in new software easier.

not planning on switching right away but im looking forward to watching this series. keep up the good work!

While I agree that NMM worked just fine, I believe that it had simply hit the limits of what Nexus (Black Tree Gaming) wanted to accomplish with their modding tool. You definitely have to relearn a lot, but not everything. Vortex can do the same things NMM can do (installing mods downloaded manually on your drive, downloading mods directly from the mod pages, etc.) but it has a lot of tools that previously you had to install and configure manually. In particular, the SSEEdit, Wrye Bash, FNIS and LOOT integration is most welcome. I can understand if you're annoyed, I admit I certainly was when the end of development of NMM was announced... -but to be "not impressed" I believe is a mistake. Unless you meant "annoyed" instead of "not impressed". In which case, just ignore what I'm about to say. Vortex gives you a helluva lot more options and controll than NMM could over your mods. The ability to remove mods without catastrophic consequences for your saves is a lot safer now (though any mod with scripts is still a throw of the dice) and the tie-ins with the Nexus site are a lot better (and easier to use.) So what I'm saying is that I can certainly understand annoyance with Vortex replacing NMM, but I really believe it is a much better mod manager than NMM and worth the investment of time to learn it. And hey, Gopher's videos make it so much easier to learn.

I don't even need instructions for Vortex, I just like listening to Gopher explaining stuff.

I can see the utility for it; but I hate the aesthetic for Vortex. It's so clunky and visually inefficient; there's so much unused space. Then again, that's just my tastes; for I have a strong disdain for the blocky mobile application look. It's just like Nexus' new look, which is dislike as well (at least with that you can go to the old version of the website). It feels like the transition that occurred from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Maybe it will look different, and utilize a new aesthetic with more efficiency of the allocated space, in the future? I will admit, I may be a tad bit too critical; perhaps it will grow on me, perhaps it will not. Oh, um... ...great tutorial Gopher; by the way. I may not like the program (right now) but I think your explanation of it was superb; as always.

This is a very good point of you to bring up. In PoE for example (a hack'n slash game where you trade a lot with other players), you have to use a 3rd party site to trade efficiently. The game developers thought it was stupid to have players use 3rd party tools, so they made their own trading site. But their site is mostly unused because it has a lot of unused space, the item you want to buy is all the way to the left, while the price of the item is all the way to the right, so you have to constantly move your eyes to compare prices, while the 3rd party site has everything neatly set up in small squares which makes the process faster.

Typically the best practice is to grab all of the archives and send them to the new mod manager (with MO2 this was as simple as copying them to the new download folder) then revert your installation back to vanilla (reinstall often recommended) then enable your mods through the new mod manager software. It appears vortex does do things similarly to MO2 (no surprise there, same dev) so without trying this myself, I would suppose that the above method should work fine for you, however some update features may require that you update the mod ID in vortex, as NMM does not seem to create meta tags containing this information. Due to the difficulty of migration, it is often recommended that users simply reinstall all of their mods through normal methods on a clean install. The above portion of the comment should only be attempted if you are reasonably comfortable with manual file manipulation, and risking the integrity of your game. As a further note, it is recommended that when changing to a new mod manager previous game saves are terminated.

Coming back to this video again because Enderal SE means I have to add a new game, and I never use Vortex enough to remember how to do anything. You are such a savior.

Did a quick test run with Vortex and Fallout 4 and oh boy, it is a mess. Half of the mods installed with Vortex didn't uninstall properly and left me with a lot of orphaned files in the game's directory. Vortex also detected "conflicts" with mods that installed the same identical file (see through scope reticles) and "solved" it by... making duplicate versions of those mods?. Also looking forward to Gopher's video on how to manually handle the load order because I couldn't figure it out. Seems simple drag and drop is out, you need to manually make dependency rules now?

I have tested VORTEX for a while but I'm really nothing for me. I will stay with MO / MO2. The only thing that is better with VORTEX is to be simple and fast change games you want mod or play. As I have, I have to have 4 different MO / MO2 installed for all my games I use with MO / MO2.

I actually like the design, visually. What i hate is all of the wasted space. I mean, come on! You could build a second mod manager inside all the permanently empty and useless areas in that screen. It's not like everybody has huge 16/9 screens in 4K or a touch screen/Wacom for *skyrim,* aside from graphic design, aka probably the area that designed this one. Pretty as all hell, yes. Functional for people aside from the designers, inherently not.

If you're smart, you'll see right through this. What the owners of Nexus Mods are doing here, is replacing two perfectly usable mod managers (NMM & MO) with a proprietary solution that lets them show you ads, every time you open your mod manager. Because 1) the aforementioned mod managers weren't built with ad placeholders in mind, 2) some people use ad blockers in their browsers and they can't control that, and 3) not everyone spends a lot of time on the NM website where the ads are, once they have their game modded to their preference. They are just using Gopher as a way to convince everyone to install it, since he has tons of credibility in the modding community. Once the majority of people have installed Vortex, don't be surprised if the "manual download" option vanishes before long.

Truly amazing video! Thanks for the help man, going straight to part 2 :)

I've been away from the moding scene for about 2 years, today I logged into nexus trying to get the NMM and got Vortex instead. so I looked up this video, then went along with you. Then I noticed that vortex has this video as a tutorial built into the program. You can never get away from gopher. lol

mod organizer vs vortex

@BenWillock

6 жыл бұрын

I've tried to use vortex but it's load order management system is plainly not as intuitive as the one in Mod Organizer. Having to drag different mods onto each other and remember which one interacts with which is just a pain compared to having a simple list of mods that you can reorder appropriately. Other problems I have with Vortex is that it doesn't play nicely with OBMM, which you need to use for some mods as Vortex doesn't support .OMOD's. Edit: Another problem is that Vortex will always handle NXM links over any other app, even when you set it to "off" in settings and use nxmhandler to define something else (i.e. MO)

You people know that 10 months ago Vortex was in alpha testing right? RIGHT?

I do not want to be boring, but I'm not happy about this vortex at all. It was perfectly fine with the nexus mod manage, now you force NMM to be useless. Maybe I'm being annoying because, I have rediscovered how a new program works. when the first one already works very well ... I also never knew that the vortex existed to this day ...

Tfw you first watched Gopher's NMM guide back in 2013, and are now doing it again with Vortex in 2019.

Gopher is the best i watched his guide to NMM back in the day and was able to get running because of him.

well, its been 1 year. Vortex is still far inferior to Mod Organizer IMO. Still very buggy, and asking questions on the Nexus forums is just an invitation to get insulted by fanboys instead of support or answers.

No. Just bad design.

Heard this voice on the vortex tutorial and was like I KNOW THAT HELPFUL VOICE FROM SOME 10 YEARS AGO ON SKYRIM Always been super useful, even as someone who knows plenty on the topics, you always are very thorough but concise and give good context to every move instead of just saying 'click this and then this, and i always click this one, dunno bout this one' etc.

my god you are amazing i know this is almost a year from when this was posted but ive been away from modding for a while and i still had NMM so these videos are amazing!!!!

don't listen to them its fine only there are a few issues that haven't been worked out yet but in your case, its probably nothing you will have to deal with i would say its good to use and when its done will be so so much better than the original nexus manager

Dexter Nexus after using vortex on both fallout new Vegas and fallout 3 they both crash after I start up the game and I can’t solve the issue

I was so happy back in the day with NMM, what is this piece of garbage that needs so many parts of a tutorial to install at make it run? Makes me feel like dropping everything and just not play.

I used nmm for a month or so when I moved over to vortex and I must say wow what a difference. I read what you guys say about staying with nmm and I understand you are comfortable with what you know. I can tell you as someone whom is new at this vortex is so much easier to use and understand.

Thank you Gopher!!! A very excellent tutorial you explained everything perfectly and this video is still valid in 2020 thank you for helping me!

5 years later, Vortex looks very different. This video is all out of date, and more confusing than helpful.

So... tell me... What is it about MO Fanboyze that they feel the need to constantly denigrate any other manager? You guys are like a damned religious cult, seriously! Moreover, do recall, Vortx is ***IN ALPHA***, bringing up MO or any other kind of fully developed manager is moronic. I use Wrye Bash myself, but that doesn't mean I'm hostile to Vortex, and I also happen to think that MO is very good. Whatever happened to tolerance?

Easy, for me its one single feature that outdoes any other manager, the virtuelle DATA folder and just to be a dick, MO2 also aint finish

Looking forward to see the "development" of the Vortex! (And this tutorial series ofc). I was among the first batch to run NMM back in its alpha stage, so this brings back some memories :) This time I think I'll sit back and let it grow to Beta before jumping onboard though.

Clear and easy instructions to follow. Thank you.

I absolutely HATE Vortex. It is needlessly complicated compared to NMM. Not happy at all.

On the other hand NMM is too simple and limited to manage your mods property without totally messing up your games or game files.

Helpful as always! Thanks, Gopher.

Lots of comments asking the same thing that I was wondering. "Can I migrate NMM or MO into Vortex?" Read the description on the Nexus site and they seem to have a way to import from another mod manager, but I will probably wait until this is out of Alpha status. And I'm sure when that process is all sorted out, Gopher will do us all the favor of making a great video showing us how to do it without corrupting our save game. Once again great job with these videos, and looking forward to more on Vortex.

Gopher as usual you rock my friend i always use your videos to mod my games

I had severe issues with NMM and like what I've seen so far with Vortex. I was able to install and run even large files around a full GB without issue. I could not get NMM to do that. Thanks for the tour of the software. I'm still very new at modding so Ill take all the help I can get.

I came here to comment on what a fantastic improvement this is but I'm a little surprised at the comments. It's about a 2 hour learning curve including watching these videos but worth it as this has so many more useful features and works with FOMM

It still amazes me that (as I type this) 86,099 people have viewed this video and only 2,300 have bothered to say 'thanks', i.e. hit the 'like' button. Am I missing something or is it no longer polite to show gratitude to someone who has helped you learn something anymore?

Thanks Gopher, detailed as ever.

Excellent Tutorial! You explain it very well and easy!

12 years ago I was following Gopher during my Skyrim modding journey. Fast forward today, hello old Friend. Let us get that Vortex going for CP77 shall we?

I would call myself an intermediate/advanced user when it comes to modding my game, but I still watched these videos. Thanks for the tutorials.

Thank you so much for explaining what to do when the game is located on a different driver!

Thanks for the tutorial Gopher, I’m happy with NMM right now but it’s good to know this stuff for when NMM becomes redundant and outdated when this fully releases!

I watch most of your skyrim Vids and love them! Now I'm trying my hand at playing skyrim with mods and I think the gods that you took the time to show us not so ummm computer handy people how to do this !

very helpful with a great voice making it easy to listen to

thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU! this is absolutely what first timers need. so much easier now.
