I like to use the ingame mod downloader, it's really handy and simple. But can you use that and also use mods from nexus at the same time?

Also, does anyone know about a .ini tweak or something to disable bloom?

no, cannot use the in-game mod mgr and vortex together.All of the mods you download in-game should show up in vortex (what i use).

My advice to you is to download vortex to use. If you are good enough, you can use mod organizer 2.

This is incorrecet. You can use both. But you may experience issues depending on following:

In Vortex, and i guess other managers, you can set up several different mod profiles so to experience with different mod packs in an easy way. Each time you launch game through Vortex you can chose what profile to load before starting game. Easy peasy.

But whenever you then use the in-game mod manager it will default the mods loaction to your current active profile. Vortex "tells" the game launcher where to "look" for mods.

Next time you switch profile, you may experience that not everything works as intended, especially with large number of mods, and very so if you have mods that rely on other mods.

But if you only have one default Vortex profile, as you get upon installing first time, you can download mods from wherever you like with no issues. Except those that crash your game no matter what.

Thanks for your input. I'm gonna go ahead and skip the in-game mod manager and only use nexus with vortex instead.

Vortex broke the ingame mod manager for me

Good, it should. The in game manager is a joke.

Vortex will use LOOT to auto sort your mods into the correct load orders. The in game manager does not sort anything on it's own.

That is unfortunate and i am sorry it happened. But since it works on my end, can you give some more details on how you mod the game? Number of mods and such? Big DLC type mods ? Sims / Horizon / Frost etc ?

Frost broke my game so i never got into that one.

I usually run very light mod setup from 2 to maybe 10, and i have 9 different Mod profiles in Vortex. In one i have 50 ish mods, most for graphics. And i launch the game via Vortex. Or at least my desktop shortcut and Steam shortcut does. So the LOOT function of Vortex does its thing and all is good.

All i can say is i check Bethesda In game Mod Page regularily and i have many mods from there also, but i am Premium at Vortex so most are from Nexus.

Totally agree, in-game managing is pitiful. By just changing order of two seemingly small and not-so-important mods load order one risks breaking the game. But LOOT by Vortex seems to fix it for me whenever i do.
