Vortex is an E-Go stick, MO2 is the full mod with a Geekvape RDTA. It doesn’t have as much customizing options as MO2, but is super simple to use.
Since Vortex has per file loose file load order while MO2 is only per mod, there’s really only a point to use MO2 if you “need” clean data-directory, or is swithing profiles multiple times per hour. When you make changes of your own (outside Vortex), Vortex creates a layer of technical difficulty that does not need to exist. My verdict is the Vortex is good for people that download mods, and are happy for Vortex to manage everything. I have no problems with it and manage about 10 mod profiles. Vortex is an okay mod manager if you’re just downloading a handful of mods, clicking the sort button, and playing (and even MO2 can let you do that a lot better, lmao), but in all circumstances, I recommend MO2. Go with Vortex, only important thing is to keep the virtual directories for the mods in the same drive than where you have the game installed. Should I use Nexus Mod Manager or vortex?Įither MO2 or Vortex is far superior in every respect, sure there is a bit of learning curve and it’s more hands on, but you will benefit hugely. If it does not crash on a new game, the issue most likely is related to a bad save and/or mod. Disable any mods added and start a “new” save to see if the issue occurs on a brand new game. Most crashing issues are related to a corrupted save and/or a bad mod being added to your game. Should I use Nexus Mod Manager or vortex?.Does Nexus Mod Manager sort load order?.How do you move the load order on Vortex?.
