## What it is
Vortex is the official mod manager from Nexus Mods, supporting modding for over 250 games. It automates tasks like load order sorting and mod file management to make modding simple for beginners while offering control for veterans.

## Use cases
- manage mods for skyrim and fallout
- sort mod load order automatically
- download and install mods from nexus mods
- mod manager for cyberpunk 2077

- uninstall mods cleanly without breaking the game

## When to choose
- you mod games supported by Nexus Mods and want an easy, automated manager
- you want multi-game mod management in one tool
- you are new to modding and want minimal setup

## When to avoid

- your game is not supported by Vortex or Nexus Mods
- you only mod Minecraft or other games with dedicated launchers
