I tried to add it through vortex but I only had an error message that told me to inform the mod creator of the error. Do you know if there is a solution for this?
This is the first time I post something on Nexus ^^', and I don't know if i had something special to do to make it able to work with Vortex (I don't use Vortex for Subnautica myself) I looked on others mods adding posters, some authors removed the "mod manager dowload" of theirs, but no one seems to signal errors on thoses who didn't removed it. And i don't see any reasons why my mod will not work if theirs does ^_^", i have the same structure, a .zip with a folder "Posters" in a folder "CustomPosters"
Maybe someone will come with a solution, but right now I can only suggest you to put the posters in Subnautica/QMods/CustomPosters/Posters manualy. And if it create an error for others users, I will remove the "mod manager download"
Solution install manually take the file and drop it in your QMods folder. Should be as easy as that.
If you don't have it get it.

Everything in subnautica modding is placed in the same QMods folder so there is nothing complicated and using vortex even overcomplicates modding for this specific game in my opinion.
Hi, I'm the maintainer of the Vortex extension for Subnautica. Upon investigation of your pack, the reason it's not working with Vortex is you have some bad JSON in your info.json files:
{ "InternalName": "Bon_01", "DisplayName": "Ancient Skeleton", "Description": "Bone 01 - Ancient Skeleton Debug Name : Bon_01", "Orientation": "Landscape" } ^ for example - strings which span two lines is invalid JSON. It looks to me like you intended to set a property named "Debug Name" on the fourth line rather than splitting the string into two lines.
This invalid JSON breaks the JSON parser used by the Vortex extension. The Vortex extension attempts to read your info.json because this tells it whether each addon is for CustomPosters or CustomHullPlates (based on the existence of the "Orientation" property), and it uses this data to ensure the addon goes into the correct folder.
Really like this mod. Installed into...\Subnautica\QMods\Custom Posters\Posters (cuz you need the 'Custom posters' mod in case someone didn't know *cough*) and it works great. Now the only problem is....(I do have Radial Tabs mod--highly recommended)...that giant circle of posters to choose from makes the icons super tiny so, have no idea what I'm selecting really. Question is....couldn't there be sub-categories in the folder 'Posters' to then put different types of posters in so there'd be less in each sub category....making less icons thus bigger--able to see? I'm going to experiment with it.
Works great and one awesome mod with high quality images, Thank you.
I just copied and pasted in Custom poster mod folder and have had no issues .
I would strongly recommend installing this mid game or game end as all posters are available from starting of the game and it spoils the lore and surprise.
