    I don’t want to use their bloatware launcher. Games already have enough bloatware launcers as it is, I am not willfully adding another one. Fortunately I can still directly download from the site, but I have to log into an account and I hate having like a hundred accounts.

    Also, I just don’t like the idea of one website having a near monopoly on mod hosting. I would prefer multiple places, ideally ones without requiring an account or pushing bloatware.

      Vortex is not a launcher, it’s a mod manager. And you don’t have to use it, there are alternatives. But you should use a mod manager, manual installation/uninstallation is really bad practice that can and will break things.

      You can also use Mod Organizer 2. Connects to their site, but you dont have to. Virtualizes the mod folder for Creation Engine games so its much cleaner to add/remove mods and even have different install profiles
