[SOLVED]All my mods got disabled now

[alben]

All the plugins and meshes apparently got disabled like it did before, but this time it's different. I do not know how to fix this, any ideas?

[Solgath]

edit plugins.txt and put the mods you want to activate with a * before the mod name
eg: * Darker Nights.esp. or use NMM and it'll do it for you, cause 1.5 changed the way mods work apparently or active or something to that effect.

[alben]

Alright, i'll try this out. Got many mods. Will return with an answer wether it works or not in a moment.

Thanks

No just start the game, select the 'mods' option, press 'T' to open load order, and enable all your mods from there.

They made it super simple.

[Yhwach]

As per the new load order format, make sure that:
Plugins.txt exists in your main fallout 4 directory, and NOT:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Fallout4\

Every plugin that's enabled must have an asterisk to the left of the plugin name, not to the right, to the left of it.

For example:
(You don't include Fallout4.esm in your plugins.txt, as of Patch 1.5)
*Homemaker.esm
SnapN'Build.esm
*ArmorKeywords.esm
*FakeFarHarborLeaks.esm
*True Wasteland.esp
Interiors Enhanced.esp

You see those mods with an asterisk next to them?
Those would be enabled.
The ones WITHOUT an asterisk, will be disabled.

[alben]

oh thats good info! I'll do that ASAP

[alben]

So basically

*Better Locational Damage.esp
*Better Locational Damage - DLC_Automatron.esp
*Better Locational Damage - DLC_WWorkshop.esp
*BLD - DT 3.0.esp
LegendaryMod2LMAnyModAnyWeap.esp
ValdacilsItemSorting-DLCAutomatron.esp

I've added those two down below there because they were disabled before. So adding them without the * is correct way?

yeah that's the way.

[alben]

Thanks a bunch all of you!

launch fallout 4 through steam.
when launcher open, use NMM and re-enable mods.
make bethsda net account and login.
now you have in game mods enabler and hopefully access to new mods.

[alben]

Yeah thats the previous way, just making the plugins read-only used to work. But they did something else this time. Previous comments explained it pretty much

[alben]

Yeah i just realized my stupidity.
But it's like the usual. I didn't see what was in front of me. Apparently there are a mods button and just signing in. lols, thanks anyway though. You showed how helpful the community is <3

This is for manual install correct? or do we have to do this for the mods in general? If so this is a first and is a bit curious.

It's how the game recognizes which mods are enabled, and which mods are disabled; it was changed this way to support their new in-game mod site and mod manager.
It works for manual install, and it's how the game places them.

[Aryvian]

Do you have to do this manually still? Or does NMM do it for you? I've been waiting for the survival and 1.5 to come out of beta so I can use my mods without tampering with files.. But I don't know if I still have to after they went public.
