    Like it or not, it is golden standard. Streamlined like hell and makes getting into modding a childs play, both visually and mechanically. Only when you start going deep into mods does Vortex shit a brick.

    They really should add option of unlocking manual order of mods and for me, that would be it. Sadly last I heard they said no.

    Edit: Also you still can bypass automatic load order by entering manual value for mod, they do have that option…but I found it’s behaving kinda quirky, so still would prefer simple drag and drop. Also uses 16 base which for most users will be offputting.

    Also also you can add reqs to load something after something else, but that works as long as first mod doesn’t need special place.

      MO2 is just better in every way. It’s visually simpler, less confusing and functions as you would expect - drop the mods in and swap the order how you please. Creating mod profiles is easy and it has very deep advanced setup if you need it. Vortex just causes unnecessary roadblocks and troubleshooting steps. MO2 (to put it) “just works”, try it if you haven’t, it solves all the issues you just listed.

        Tried it. That’s why I said Vortex is more visually and mechanically appealing. And from experience Vortex pretty much removes need of troubleshooting in most cases, unless you try to top off full blown overhauls and similiar.

        Difference is, for experienced people MO2 seems better. But for fresh guys Vortex wins, by a lot.

          We will have to agree to disagree. I had a much easier time explaining the setup of mods to people through MO2 than Vortex.
