Installing Mods

How to install, view and manage your mods in Vortex.

At it's core, installing mods is roughly the same as any Vortex-enabled game, once you've added C&C Remastered as a managed game in Vortex.

If you haven't already, open the Games screen and click the Manage button on the C&C Remastered icon under Unmanaged


Remember that mods still need to be enabled in-game from the Options ▶ Mods menu!

Installing from Nexus Mods

If you're installing mods from Nexus Mods, you can use the “Vortex” or “Download with Mod Manager” buttons on the mod page to automatically open Vortex and download the mod. Simply Install and Enable like usual and you should be good to go.

Install from archives

You can also download mod archives directly from Nexus Mods or anywhere else you like and install them with Vortex. Simply use the Install From File button in the toolbar or drop them onto the drop zone at the bottom of the Vortex window.

Be aware that installing from non-Nexus archives will often not include the full metadata. You can double-click the mod in the mod list to change its details.

Please note that “raw” mods that aren't packaged in an archive (for example, loose ini files) aren't supported, but Vortex should offer to create an archive for you if you try and install them.
