Comment on Are mods usually confusing as hell or am I just an idiot?

Nexus’s Vortex will be your friend. The Steam Workshop will be your best friend from elementary school.
Vortex works with Nexus mods damn near flawlessly. It’s pretty easy to set up as there are instructions to guide you through the process.
Workshop is literally just a single click to download and install mods to your games. Sometimes you may have to activate the mods in the games themselves.
Other than that, I’ve found modding to get easier the more you do it. You start to see patterns and pick up on where certain files should go or how they should interact and work. People will make their own mod managers for specific games (I have the Sonic Adventure 2 Mod Manager for instance) as well.

YMMV but as a long time mod installer I find the UI of Vortex more confusing than manually modding most games. But if the UI clicks with you then yeah it would be a lot easier than manual.

I like it cause I can turn on/off certain mods without having to use another mod as a manager. And because I find it easier than having to look for certain folders to put everything in.
