Getting VTMB to work with Mod Organizer 2 (Updated)

The problem with Mod Organizer 2 is that the default directory for the game it chooses is "vampire." Now, as we know, most big mods like the Unofficial Patch create a new folder for the contents of the mod. I'm gonna use this as an example, Instead, you run vampire.exe through the "unofficial_patch" folder instead of the "vampire" folder using the launcher argument -game Unofficial_patch.

The issue with this is that when you install mods through MO2 and do it this way, many mods that replace unofficial patch files won't, as the virtual file system runs in the wrong folder. So here's a janky fix for this.

This tutorial requires knowledge on MO2. If you're interested in this tutorial you probably already know how MO2 works. If not, there's a learning curve and I can't really explain it all here.

So... here's the shitty tutorial for no one that asked:

previous tutorial i was editing the wrong file, so please ignore everything I said! :3

Install VTMB if you haven't already. This works best on a clean install.

Install the Mod Organizer 2 installer.

Launch the Mod Organizer 2 installer and install however you'd like. This doesn't matter.

Once installed, launch Mod Organizer 2 and select create a portable instance. Actually, I don't think this matters, but I haven't tried it using a global instance. Then, select VTMB as the game to manage.

Close Mod Organizer 2 for now. We'll get back to that.

Install the Unofficial Patch or the Clan Quest mod or the Final Nights... basically whatever you wish to install as normal using the installer it comes with.

Once that's done, navigate to \plugins\basic_games\games\game_vampirebloodlines.py". For me, this is:

Open the file in notepad and navigate to the highlighted lines:

9. Replace vampire with whatever folder the mod you installs creates. For unofficial patch, it's unofficial_patch. For Clan Quest mod, it's cqm, for The Final Nights, its tfn. Like this:

Save and close when finished. 10. Launch Mod Organizer 2 again. Right click on the left side and select create empty mod. Name this "<mod name> data" or something like that.

11. Right click on the mod you just created and select information. Then, select the filetree tab and then open mod in explorer. This will open your empty mod in a file explorer window.

12. Now, open another file explorer window and navigate to your VTMB folder. Open cqm/unofficial_patch or tfn and drag the contents of it into your mod folder. Yes, it's okay that the original folder becomes empty. This is intended.

13. Now, open another file explorer window and navigate to your VTMB folder. Open cqm/unofficial_patch/tfn and drag the contents of it into your mod folder. Yes, it's okay that the original folder becomes empty. This is intended.

21. Once that's done, refresh Mod Organizer 2 (F5). You will see that the mod is no longer empty. Enable it.

22. Run the game through MO2 to see if it works. If it does, congrats! Now you can install mods as you normally would in Mod Organizer 2 and run vampire.exe through it. and make sure to put -game <folder name> line in the vampire.exe arguments

anyone experienced with modding new vegas with mod organizer 2 know if its possible to condense animations and textures in my mod folder. so the location would look like VivaNewVegas>mods>animations/textures>(a bunch of folders with animations/textures here) . because i had read that its possible but when i did it all of my animations disabled. i mostly just want my singular clutter item textures and animations to be condensed so my left panel isnt five miles long

So I'm in a very specific discord about a fanfic of bg3 and I just was wondering if you were also in it because it seems like your type of thing but also maybe not aaaaa

I'm in a handful of BG3 related servers but none of them are about one fic in particular. A couple of them have chat rooms for writing and things like that, which I enjoy lurking in, but I don't contribute in those since I can't write T-T I just share art sometimes and hype other people's when I see it

now I'm super curious about the fic server tho 👀
