Since this would be considered piracy these days, has anyone bothered to reverse-engineer how Vortex handles collections, so they can just be imported straight to Mod Organizer?
Every single fucking other application has bend the knee to Nexus, and forces you to fucking download files one by one, manually clicking each and every download.
This is quite thought provoking. I never thought in this manner.
Don’t bother using collection. When I made one for personal use, the fucker downloaded some outdated version of the mod. I started using my download history to keep in check what I’ve downloaded and used vortex to handle the installation. Keeping bookmarks would be a better option.
In general, simply dropping the mods in the correct location installs the mod, but few mods (like in case of Cyberpunk 2077, Redmods) get compiled to show up as game files, which might complicated the proceduce but I think its possible.
I don’t know what you mean by downloading one by one. Nexus does lets you download multiple mods at a time when done manually. When installing mods with Vortex, it downloads it, installs it, verifies it and looks for the next in the queue.
But if you are still keen to use more bandwidth, perhaps try using tor, see if Nexus allows it? I haven’t checked on my end since I never really downloaded huge mods.
IIRC, Vortex can install manually downloaded mod files.
Note that mods are not piracy. Developers make toolkits to extend the longevity of the game.
I’m so glad I finally baught premium on nexus tbh. But my account was grandfathered in when they went to me monthly sub.
But it would be nice for free accounts to at least download in parallel even at the cap speed at least. It was years before I upgraded my account,so I know the pain.

If you don’t have Nexus Premium you need to go through each mod individually and manually download it. Some collections are well over 100 mods.
With Premium it will automate that for you. This is what OP is trying to “pirate”.

Mods themselves aren’t piracy, but circumventing paywalls that are meant to gatekeep content is.
