Since this would be considered piracy these days, has anyone bothered to reverse-engineer how Vortex handles collections, so they can just be imported straight to Mod Organizer?

Every single fucking other application has bend the knee to Nexus, and forces you to fucking download files one by one, manually clicking each and every download.

There's gotta be a better way.

No need for reverse engineering. Vortex is already open source under GPL3. https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex

Yes and no. It's just ass to read the "source" code because everything's split into 10000 files.

And that's obviously to try obfuscate how collections work.

Looks like your standard electron app to me. I'm no software developer so I could be wrong tho
