Sure, but I wonder if manually installing mods with BepInEx is not better while the game is under development. At least, you know what you add, and where you put files. I don't know with Vortex, but BepInEx allows to install mods outside of Valheim and even Steam folders, and you can disable all mods by just changing a line in main config file, but I presume that this later functionality is even easier with Vortex.

That means that you are sure that Valheim install folder is always clean. And you'll never post about a bug caused by most recent game's update.

Vortex shows me all my mods in a handy menu, and it will open the associated folder if I tell it to. So I know what's installed and I can easily find out where. I can disable or uninstall any mod easily from the menu. It can check for updates and tell me if there's a different version, which installing manually won't do. It even handles BepinEx for me.

It will handle any mod on Nexus whether it's Valheim or something else. I don't see anything in your list of advantages that Vortex doesn't cover.

If you like installing mods manually, then do that, but Vortex is good at what it does.
