Getting a strange Institute bug

[Stormbreaker420]

For some reason (definitely mod related) I can't use or see Institute weapons. Most are just called "Institute" and show as invisible, some are visible but unuseable by me (Goes to fistfight stance when I equip it) anyone else get this? I think it is most likely related to my biggest synth/Institute mod which is the Synth overhaul one https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/9525/?tab=description

Make sure you have downloaded all the textures and are in the correct Textures folder

Its a NMM installation so I didn't actually do any of that manually could that really still be an issue?

Some big mods have the resources as a separate download. Some require other mods for the resources.

Did you read the comments page to see if it is a common issue?

Did a scan and didn't see anyone else with this complaint

Did you try this mod at the bottom of your load order?

Is that what I should do? I moved it up further at first to see if that helped lol xD

Lowest mod wins.

That one seems like it would have to do a lot of work to diversify the Institute weapons and armor, so you should probably let it win any conflicts.

Did that, still same problem. That mod may not even be the issue

You didn't install any Institute mods after that one that could have changed textures, did you?

Don't think so, Institute heavy weapons maybe?

If mods work in general for you, my only suggestion would be to reinstall the mod so that all the textures and stuff are fresh and then make sure it is lower in the load order.

Or, you could use FO4Edit to view exactly what other mods might be conflicting with it.

I reeeeeeeeally dont understand FO4Edit lol I just deactivated it, but now when I spawn an institute weapon with the console and try to modify it or equip it etc. I get a CTD sraight away. Oh well. I dont use laser guns mostly anyways. All this started just cos I wanted to mod an Institute rifle for X6 while travelling with him, but I'm not that worried

FO4Edit is very complicated, but you can do some simple things with it.

If you simply load all your mods, then open the one that seems to be working incorrectly it will show in red where other mods are conflicting. Even if you don't try to fix things with it, it can help with figuring out what needs to be above/below what else, or which mods just won't work together at all.
