I'm glad I wrote this post, 'cause that was what was getting me again, reinstalling on a new PC. Luckily I vaguely remembered posting somewhere about it, and googling myself came through again. LOL

I registered here just to chime in, because I read all 3 pages of this thread 3 times and was still doing it wrong (I'm on Skyrim VR, BTW, and it seems to work just fine, so that's some bonus info). Let me echo brandiuntz, with some further clarification. You definitely CAN install it with Vortex. No need to put it in the actual game directory yourself. You do NOT need to extract the FNIS esp from the Pandora archive and install it separately (which I also tried). Dragging the whole archive down to the Drop Files window under Mods will do it. The mod will be installed and activated normally. IMPORTANT: This is what got me. The .exe you need to click (or add to your Vortex Dashboard) is NOT the one in the Vortex Mods/Skyrim folder. It's in the ACTUAL game Data directory, in my case, C:\Games\SteamLibrary2\SteamApps\common\SkyrimVR\Data I hope this saves some folks from pulling their hair out!!!
