Issue with nexus mod manager and mods after clean reinstall, please advise

[Mina Miko]

Reinstalled the game today, but in nexus mod manager, the plugin list only shows about half of the mods i have even tho the NMM interface says they should all be installed.

I reinstalled all of them to no avail, some stil lend up missing. I tried deleting them completly and redownload from Nexus but it didint help either.

Im not sure what to do, everything seems to be like i left it when i uninstalled (e.g.: the file to change for mods to be activated.

In fact, the mods that DO show in the plugins list do work in-game. But nothing else.

Help please

Go here:

computer / program files / steam / steam apps / common / fallout 4 / DATA.

Look to see if the mods you have 'installed' are actually there, because some do not appear in the NMM list because they are different files.

There is a chance that you have the data folder set to read only. Which will not run the mods. Have you set the .ini file to archive invalidate?

Basic instructions, they were the first i followed.
Whats in the data folder is basicly what the plugins list in NMM is showing. I tried to see if i could forcefully put the missing .esp in it but i cant even seem to find them (they dont appear in the folder where NMM puts them. it really looks like NMM just isint installing them at all

The problem comes from the fact that *some* of the mods work while other seemingly wont install at all. That means any "issue" that might prevent mod use is out of the window since some of them do work.

quick edit. i just realized one of the mod i tried to use dosent even have an esp, its just supposed to overwrite meshes yet it dosent appear in-game)

Did you try an manual install with NMM? The plus sign top left lets you do that...
Or, after making a backup-copy of the meshes that are suposed to be changed, try copying the new ones in there...
Edit: or is the replacer maybe only an addon and needs another mods to work properly?

[Mina Miko]

that just adds the mod to NMM list. my problem is that when i click install in NMM, it does everything like normal (like overwriting assets) but with some mods, once thats done the UI say the mod is installed but the plugins list dosent show the esp and indeed, in-game nothing shows.

Im not too keen on doing everything manually either, thatd be a lot of trouble with even more risk to ♥♥♥♥ everything up

Can you list some of the mods that are not working?

[Im on EQOA Sandstorm Toons Below]

use version 0.61.21 or enjoy having to randomly figure out which mod wasn't installed properly and needs to be installed again, along with others that need to be installed before and after them all over again.

Oh ? it would be a NMM version issue ?

Might be possible...I'm running the latest version and sometimes have to reinstall (via the rightclick on the mod) even previously working mods...at least mine do all work...
it's worth a try, finding an older version and testing it...
