Vortex

Vortex is an open-source mod manager from Nexus Mods for installing and managing game mods. It connects to Nexus Mods so users can find, install, and play mods, while also surfacing new files and site news. Its feature page lists support for more than 30 games. Built-in sorting manages load orders, and plugin management features help address mod conflicts. Users can maintain separate profiles for different playthroughs, install curated collections, or create and share their own. Vortex can show available mod updates and update all mods at once. Its customizable interface brings together games, plugins, downloads, and save games, and community-created extensions and frameworks are supported. Health Check, introduced in Vortex 2.6, uses file-level requirements to identify and fix missing dependencies. Vortex is free and released under the GNU General Public License. The download page requires Windows 10 or later; versions 1.8 and later are unsupported on Windows 7, 8, and 8.1.
