Dragonborn.esm Disabled
Alright, so, I never had this issue before.

I went to load up Skyrim, and pressed play and then it automatically crashed. Confused, I checked my Nexus Mod Manager's plugin, and some of the files were labeled red. I clicked them to see what file was missing, and it said Dragonborn.esm was missing, even though I have all 3 DLC's for Skyrim, including Dragonborn.

I'm afraid that if I reinstall NMM, I'll lose all of my mods. Dragonborn.esm does not come up on my Plugins for NMM, so I cannot enable it, and a lot of my mods need Dragonborn.esm to work. I don't know what to do.

It appears as though you only have the DLC through Family Share. Im sure this is the root of the problem, but I know of no solution other than purchasing the DLC yourself.

I bought the edition where ALL 3 dlc's were included..

Wow, must have been a Steam glitch. I just looked and yes, you have them. They were not there just a few minutes ago.:steamfacepalm:

In that case, I recommend validating your game files.

I'll try that, thank you.
Do you know any video tutorials to recommend for this problem, tho? ;;

No, Im sorry, I dont know of any videos.

But to validate files, right-click on your game in the library,and go to propeties. A menu appears Local Files. Choose this then Verify Game Files. What this does is check your game files for any missing/corrupted files, then re-aquires them.

So I validated my game files and i got the warning "1 file failed to validate and will be reacquired" and the Dragonborn.esm is still disabled. On a side note of narrowing things down, I had no problems until I downloaded the ENB and installed it from enbdev. and it may be related to the RealVision mod

Nevermind, I fixed it. Im retarded, went into NMM and looked at my plugins and saw that dragonborn.esm was no checked.
