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".

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.
