Vortex 1.2.11

Nexus Mods is probably the premiere hub for mods right now. If a mod has been created, you can expect that some version of it has been uploaded to Nexus Mods at some point. However, modding is a very fickle and annoying thing to manage, and the people behind Nexus Mods understands that. So, knowing that a ton of people come to their website and that mods need good mod managers, they've released their own mod manager that's integrated into the site - Vortex.

Installing Vortex is easy, just run the installer and follow the instructions.

The best part about this program is how many features it packs from all sorts of different premiere modding tools. For starters, it supports over 30 different games, from the most popular ones like Skyrim, Witcher to less known ones like 7 Days to Die and ELEX. Furthermore, it also integrates itself with Nexus Mods itself. Now, when you download a mod, it will automatically signal the program to download that mod and start integrating it for you.

There are also built-in tools that every modder was using regardless. It has LOOT, or Load Order Optimization Tool, built in so that you don't have to download that. What's more is that since it's built in, all you need to do is click a single button and it will automatically sort everything into the best load order.

Overall, if you love modding games, then Vortex is a must. There's almost no reason to be a modder and not have touched this tool.
