Since this would be considered piracy these days, has anyone bothered to reverse-engineer how Vortex handles collections, so they can just be imported straight to Mod Organizer?

Every single fucking other application has bend the knee to Nexus, and forces you to fucking download files one by one, manually clicking each and every download.

There's gotta be a better way.

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

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.
