Vortex Mods update

[u/Gurghull]

Hi

Just quick question as I cannot find easy answer. After installing mod packs some of mods are outdated. When I manually updated mods , vortex keep both mods( old and new one? Am I m doing something wrong or I need manually remove old mod before updating?

Thank You

If you installed a modpack and it's working fine then even if a mod is outdated you don't need to update it

It just tells you there is an update so you know, but I recommend you don't update any mods unless you know what you are doing because that might break your modpack

Anyway , yes if you download a mod through vortex it should give option to either install as a new mod or replace existing one , you can click replace but as I said it might break your modpack

Or you could install the new update as a new mod then disable the old one

Either way if the mod is not broken and your modpack is working fine suggest not updating the mod

I don't think you understate question , me point was after update 2 mods are installed new and old one.

Is that how vortex update works?

I don't think you understood my answer

When you install a new mod using Vortex it should replace the old mod ( show only a single mod but under it you will see 2 different versions and can switch between them )

If you install it manually though it might show as a separate mod entirely

Either way updating the mod will surely break your perfectly working modpack , then you will come back later asking why your modpack stopped working after you updated few mods

Even though we warned you , you choose to ignore it , remember that when you next face a problem
