The open source and cross-platform Nexus Mods app that's currently in development has a new 0.6.1 release available for testing with some nice improvements. Eventually this will replace Vortex when it's ready.

Firstly, as a reminder, if you've tested previous versions you need to completely remove everything. As it's early days, they're not supporting app upgrades yet. That will come much later.

As for what's new: the big one is a Collections feature, which is still experimental. This allows you to install multiple mods together in one. Currently only supports mods from Nexus Mods and it's only available for Premium users right now but eventually free users will be able to use it.

There's also some new UI work to use the new tree view, and grouped by the mod page on Nexus Mods. Grouping can be turned off too if you wish.

Some more enhancements for Cyberpunk 2077 modding as well, like detecting if the REDmod DLC is missing and prompt the user to install it if required. Additionally, they fixed up REDmod on Linux as they've set up a framework for Windows apps / tools on Linux using Protontricks. Nice to see one open source project help another — this is why open source is great.

The app still only works with Cyberpunk 2077 and Stardew Valley until more features are rolled out.

Various other changes in the release notes.
