Is the nexus mod manager bad or something? I've used it a ton in the past but haven't played any modded games since I built a new PC last year so I'm a bit out of the loop...
I know CurseForge had some shit (which was "fixed" by creating a separate program without Overwolf) but haven't heard anything about Nexus
Yes, Vortex is awful. Wanna download a 100 mod collection without shilling money to Nexus, which they sure as fuck won't give to mod creators?
Lmao you better like clicking 300 times to finish those downloads, oh and the fucking buttons keep moving to combat "automation software".
I was wondering wtf you were talking about with this "Vortex" thing but I guess that just goes to show you how long it's been since I used it lol
Nexus Mod Manager has been dead since gosh, 2017 or so I want to say. They kept it around for a few years and I think you can still get it from somewhere on their site but iirc they hired the guy who made Mod Organizer 1 to make Vortex, the new Nexus Mod Manager. Mod Organizer is amazing though so idk why Vortex sucks so much.
Their website says it was officially canned November 2021 which lines up with when I would have last used it (early 2021)
Guess I'll skip Vortex if I ever feel like replaying Stardew Valley
Yeah it was in some sort of maintenance mode from 2016 to 2021, though I see that the developer has continued working on it under the subtitle Community Edition to this day.
Neat
Hey OP, is this the solution to your problem?
NMM - Community Edition at Modding Tools - Nexus Mods https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/305
@dog (how do tags work here lol)
No, doesn't handle new API.
MO2 already handles invidual downloads, and parallel downloads.
Damn :( sorry I'm no help lol
Yeah, just gotta RE vortex. It's open-source but written like a piece of shit, so it's ass to read.
Yeah, the old NMM got shelved because it made downloading too easy.
I wouldn't say that's why it was shelved, the old nexus mod manager was a broken buggy mess that fucked up all your game directories. Vortex sucks but it is better than NMM without rose-tinted glasses. Now does vortex suck because nexus sucks and doesn't let the dev make it not suck? Probably. The guy that made it made Mod Organizer and that's great.
I don't know if that guy is even involved anymore. Pretty sure they just hired him to try to stop MO development.
Eh, from what I can see on his GitHub it looks like he's still working on it.
What's the problem with vortex? As a modder for total war, I dream about the day total war would get a mod launcher like that.
I haven't used vortex so not sure what additional features you'd want, but TW does have a third party mod manager that is pretty good: https://github.com/Kaedrin/warhammer-mod-manager
Kaedrin mod manager, runcher, Prop Joe's manager and a deprecated one by a user on the modding discord. We got plenty of mod managers in development but nothing as developed as vortex.
Vortex allows for profiles, configuration during installation, easy install for central "mods", very visible mod version, etc...
I'm sure runcher/Frodo's new mod manager will get there, but my point is vortex got everything a user and a modder may want for that game.
Also, I'm not sure if Kaedrin is actively developing his mod manager, he doesn't seem very active on the discord.
I think it doesn't even support Linux which makes Vortex not relevant
None of the mod managers that I'm aware of you'd generally be using for nexus mods do so idk why that matters.
Can be used through steam tinker launch pretty easily, but doesn’t have native support
Lol
