Since this would be considered piracy these days, has anyone bothered to reverse-engineer how Vortex handles collections, so they can just be imported straight to Mod Organizer?

Every single fucking other application has bend the knee to Nexus, and forces you to fucking download files one by one, manually clicking each and every download.

There’s gotta be a better way.

    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.

            No, doesn’t handle new API.

            MO2 already handles invidual downloads, and parallel downloads.

                Yeah, just gotta RE vortex. It’s open-source but written like a piece of shit, so it’s ass to read.
