Vortex is the new, modern mod manager from 
Nexus Mods. It is designed to make modding your game as simple as possible for new users, while still providing enough control for more experienced veterans of the modding scene. Lead by Tannin, the creator of Mod Organizer, Vortex takes the lessons learnt during the development of MO and Nexus Mod Manager to provide the most powerful and intuitive modding experience available.
Our approach with Vortex aims to take complex tasks such as sorting your load order or managing your mod files and automates as much of the process as possible with the goal of having you achieve a stable modded game with minimal effort. We want to help you spend less time modding and more time playing your games.

Comments and Reviews
Crap. Every damn game needs some special config and this config is pulled from NM and guess what - it never works. Nothing in this garbage client works. Doesn't help that Nexus has been crap for years, no longer a mod site but rather a drama generator for the admin. 0/10 not functional
FOSS is great but feels like a step back compared to Nexus Mod Manager. Constant scrolling when you have a large mod list, can't drag and drop anymore, lots of wasted space on the GUI.
The automatic prompts that only give you "apply changes" or "quit Vortex" as options does not instill a sense of control over what you can do.
