Not sure if this is the right thread to use, but any thoughts on Vortex mod manager and Nexus mods? I have been eye balling path tracing for Dark Souls 2, some texture packs for Dark Souls 1, etc. Looks really cool, but wasn't sure how safe and easy it is to use. Any experience? Apologies if this isn't the right thread for said questions.

I haven't toyed with mods in a long while, but the majority of mods are safe tu use. Just stick to mods that have been out for a while and that are well liked by the users and you should be fine.

The biggest problems come from game updates that may make the mods not working, which would have an impact on your savegame, and that if you install several mods in one game, they may conflict with each other, causing problems. That's why you need to keep an order when installing mods, but that's something that may be mentioned in the description of the mod or in some comment.

I can't talk about Nexu Mods specifically because I don't have an account and you can't download mods from there without one.

Fair points and thank you.  I had not considered the update thing.  I will have to give it more thoughts.  I am not convinced it is worth the effort.
