Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord
Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is an action role-playing video game developed by TaleWorlds Entertainment. Released: 2020 Genre: ARPG Engine: Custom |
This guide is designed to help you set up Vortex to install and manage mods for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. Please note that Vortex support for Bannerlord is actively being worked on and will soon include new features such as Load Order management (which is currently not reflected in the guide below).

Requirements
Before we get started, this guide assumes that you have installed Bannerlord and Vortex at their default locations. You will also need to be logged in to your Nexus Mods account in Vortex.
Getting Set Up
To begin, open up Vortex and navigate to the games section. In the search bar at the top, type in "Bannerlord" and click the "Manage" button on the game tile.
A dialogue will appear asking you to confirm the download of the game extension for Bannerlord. Click "Download" in the bottom right to proceed.
Once the extension is installed (which should only take a few seconds) click "Restart now" in the notification that will appear in the top right corner.
Go back to the Games tab (click "Games" in the side menu) and search for Bannerlord again. This time, the button on the game tile should read "Activate". Click it and Vortex will be ready and set up to manage mods for Bannerlord.
Installing Mods
In the Nexus Mods Bannerlord section, navigate to a mod you would like to download (Example: Bannerlord Tweaks). In the top right, you will see a button that reads "Download: Vortex". Click it and confirm to open the link with Vortex if your browser asks you for confirmation.
Once the mod is downloaded via Vortex (which for this example should only take a few seconds), click "Install" in the notification in the top right.
After the mod is installed, you can enable the mod for example by clicking the "Enable" button in the next notification that is raised by Vortex, again in the top right corner.
Optional
Tip: You can skip this step and simply auto-enable mods you have just installed by changing your Vortex settings. In the side menu, go to "Settings" and on the rider "Interface" toggle the option that says "Enable Mods when installed (in current profile)". This will make it so mods are immediately enabled as soon as they are installed.
Lastly, you need to run Bannerlord (click the play button in the top left) and tick the checkbox next to the mod we just installed and enabled in the game's launcher so it becomes active the next time you play.
Once the launcher appears, navigate to "Mods" and make sure to tick the checkbox next to the mod we just installed and enabled.
And that's it! The mod is now ready to be used ingame.
Managing your Bannerlord Load Order
This content applies to Vortex 1.2.4 and above. |
