Sending serious kudos to developer Senjay for the AWESOME extension to Vortex. As of my test today, this correctly auto-installed 17 of 18 mods just by clicking "Vortex" or manually downloading and dragging the .zips to the "Drop Files" spot on the Vortex app > Mods > Drop Files area. This is an INCREDIBLE time save vs. what I used to be doing.
The steps now are:
1. Go to the Nexus Mod page for the mod of interest. 2. In the top right of your Nexus Mod page, you'll see either 2 buttons (Vortex and Manual) or just one button (Manual) next to "Download:".
For those that have the "Vortex" button:
First install Vortex on your computer
Ensure you have Supermarket Simulator added as a managed game
Ensure you have the Supermarket Simulator extension installed on Vortex
Click the "Vortex" button next to the "Download:" option in the top right of the Mod page
This will allow Vortex to both download and install the mod.
You can see the download progress in "Downloads" on Vortex
Once done, the Mod will show up in "Mods" on Vortex
For the mods that just have "Download":
You can still use Vortex - install it!
The following steps are the same as above:
Ensure you have Supermarket Simulator added as a managed game
Ensure you have the Supermarket Simulator extension installed on Vortex
Use the "Manual" button next to "Download:" to download the mod
Go to "Mods" on Vortex, and ensure the "Drop File(s)" section is visible on the bottom. If it isn't, click the expand up-arrow in the bottom right (looks like ^).
Drag the downloaded zip file to the "Drop File(s)" section - this will install the mod.
Once done, the Mod will show up in "Mods" on Vortex
3. You can now use Vortex as it was meant to be used!

As of writing this post, 17 of 18 mods installed successfully on first go. Senjay's revisiting how the 18th mod didn't install correctly (Night Glow) and will be trying to patch that particular issue at some point. Otherwise, all other mods installed successfully!

(My old steps, so much more complex, were at this Guide I posted: Supermarket Simulator Mods and Vortex: A Mod-User Experience - Articles and Guides - Nexus Mods Forums but can now be ignored, yay!)
