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
Yeah it was in some sort of maintenance mode from 2016 to 2021, though I see that the developer has continued working on it under the subtitle Community Edition to this day.
Neat
Hey OP, is this the solution to your problem?
NMM - Community Edition at Modding Tools - Nexus Mods https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/305
@dog (how do tags work here lol)
No, doesn't handle new API.
MO2 already handles invidual downloads, and parallel downloads.
Damn :( sorry I'm no help lol
Yeah, just gotta RE vortex. It's open-source but written like a piece of shit, so it's ass to read.
Yeah, the old NMM got shelved because it made downloading too easy.
I wouldn't say that's why it was shelved, the old nexus mod manager was a broken buggy mess that fucked up all your game directories. Vortex sucks but it is better than NMM without rose-tinted glasses. Now does vortex suck because nexus sucks and doesn't let the dev make it not suck? Probably. The guy that made it made Mod Organizer and that's great.
I don't know if that guy is even involved anymore. Pretty sure they just hired him to try to stop MO development.
