#Installed my Collection in a clean VM
native oyster
(Missing master errors are due to forgetting to copy the FO4 CC into the VM)
Also got a LOOT failed error

Can you send us the link to your collection?
pale crane
thank you

I installed the latest draft revision
pale crane
No problem

Stepping out to pick up lunch but I'm gonna redo it to see if it happens again

Was about to clock out anyway - will have a better look tomorrow morning. (18:23 here ha!)

When wiping my install I noticed this file. I was only testing with FO4. suspicious filename
I deleted everything except the archives in the downloads folder, then started Vortex and downloaded the collection
LOOT operation failed, seemingly after phase 0 finished
phase 1 has the PRP plugins file only, and it just hung waiting to install here
clicked resume from the dependencies notification in that pic
everything installed, but it hung at the end
I was never prompted for the optional mods.
that might be because the archives were already present in downloads.

reinstalled again with no issues. not sure if the not-installed mod is going to be easily reproducible

I've made a fair bit of edits to the latest draft and just did another test install.
It no longer has optional mods or additional phases
It hung on waiting to install on the final mod (Gloomy Glass) until I paused and resumed it.
Also got the LOOT Operation Failed error again
2025-12-11T07:19:29.525Z [INFO] [gamebryo-plugin-management] failed to read Oblivion.ccc ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Oblivion Remastered\Oblivion.ccc'
``` Video of the install for the above log.
You can see Gloomy Glass hang after ~2:20 and the LOOT error at 5:07
Did some more edits (added binary patches to a few plugins for ESL flagging) then uploaded, wiped all my collections & mods, then downloaded the collection.
This time 4 installs hung
You can see the installs hang after 3:00
Also a missing master warning at 4:12 (for one of the hung mods) which had to be dismissed manually
@spice basin for awareness since it's just me and Nagev in here 
Also, one of my tools isnt setting its icon, and two are missing this go around
should be 3 xedit shortcuts there
the icon for that app has never worked for some reason, so this time I tried setting it to a PNG of the icon that ships with the app before uploading. still no icon after getting the collection
would also be nice if the relative order of tools shipped with a collection was maintained
looks like the instructions got wiped at some point, probably when removing the collection from the workshop and redownloading it
or when cloning it from the download to the workshop

Safe to ignore that one, unless ofc you have an Oblivion.ccc file and it's not picking it up

The installers are still respecting the phases. So if a phase is not complete and the last mod in that phase is still downloading, the installers will wait for that mod to finish downloading before proceeding to the next phase.
Ideally, you'd only have 2 phases in a collection - non-interactive in phase 1 and interactive in phase 2. Obviously you may have to add additional phases if 1 interactive fomod requires another interactive fomod to be installed first.

LOOT operation failed, seemingly after phase 0 finished
The loot error notification can be ignored, it's getting kicked off before the collection had time to post-process (I've yet to look where it's being kicked off), there's going to be another sort ~3 seconds later which actually manages to sort the plugins properly.

i removed the only mod that was in phase 1. the rest were phase 0
all of these videos are a single phase

@peak rose looks like the installers are stalling for some reason
Test with the latest unpublished revision for https://www.nexusmods.com/games/fallout4/collections/zf4bvx

@peak rose it might just be that the UI isn't updating
