Can we manually add non-Vortex and/or non-Nexus mods to Vortex?
Because else I predict a holy mess of conflicts, having to install everthing manually after all, and possibly having to check nexus and the forums simultaneously in order to always get up-to-date mods.
You can! Just drag the zip over the box at the bottom of the Mods page.
You won't be notified of mod updates through Vortex if you installed it manually, so you may want to keep Version Checker around if you're mixing and matching Nexus and forum downloads.
Also, does the Version checker work with Nexus mods?
Currently it will direct you to the forum thread rather than the Nexus page, but it will soon support both.
For any modders who want to add the field to your .version file early, it'll be called
"modNexusId", and the value should be the number at the end of the Nexus URL (for example,
Nexerelin's would be 28). This field will be optional, of course.
