cant figure out why mods wont work

[justatoiletking34]

I use the vortex mod manager, and there are mods that dont work due to something about none of them being manifest.json

Remove existing mods from your mod folder and redownload all the mods manually as vortex mod manager has a tendency to screw up the mod files. I’ve noticed that there are a number of modders who bring this vortex issue up in their mod description so while this process of downloading each mod is rather tedious, it is well worth the effort as you are guaranteed that your mod files will have the appropriate JSON files.

If you don’t know where your mod folder is, check the SDV Wiki page on Modding. It will give you the appropriate info for your OS.
