Next, we want to set up a rule to decide which mod goes last i.e. In this case, our two mods making edits to the same textures are correctly identified as being in conflict with each other:Ĭlick "Show" in the bottom right to highlight the conflict in your mod load order:

Once you install two mods with conflicting files, Vortex will inform you of an "unsolved file conflict" via a notification in the top right corner:Ĭlicking "More" will bring up the "unsolved file conflicts" dialogue informing you of a conflict between mods. Let's assume that, instead of having to decide between an all red, or an all green steel armour, we would like to keep the red helmet, gauntlets, and boots from Example Mod Steel Armor - Red, but replace the chest plate with the green version from Example Mod Steel Armor - Green. Using our example above, the following explains how a file conflict between two mods making changes to the same textures can be resolved.


How to resolve (individual file) conflicts For instance, if you would like to have the helmet, gauntlets, and boots changed to red, but the chest plate changed to green: With Vortex’s ability to resolve these conflicts on an individual file level, however, you are able to “pick and choose” which textures you want from each mod. Even if both are installed, the mod loaded last would override the previous one resulting in either the entire steel armour being red (if Example Mod Steel Armor - Red loads last), or green (if Example Mod Steel Armor - Green loads last). Without resolving the conflict on an individual file level, you would have to choose which set of textures you want to go with. The two mods are, therefore “in conflict” with each other. "Example Mod Steel Armor - Red" and "Example mod Steel Armor - Green."īoth mods make changes to the same textures. In the following, we will use two mods that change the steel armour in Skyrim to be a different colour as our example. A good example would be two texture mods that make edits to the same exact textures in the game. This means that two different mods are making changes to the same game files. At times mods will have conflicting files.
