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

          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
