Right now, most people just pack their mods however they feel like and that means if you want to use vortex, you unfortunately have to download a mod manually, unpack it, change the folder structure to comply with vortex, repack it and then readd the packed archive to vortex. another advantage is updating or uninstalling mods and file conflicts are extremely easy to manage.
