Mods broke my active effects.

[PapiTopCat]

So I recently installed all the "essential" mods for Skyrim;

2K textures
Static mesh
Cloaks of Skyrim
Flora overhaul (didn't like, uninstalled)
Climates
Wet and Cold
Enhanced blood
WATER (as a side note, it says there is an error loading this mod when I boot NMM but it looks like it's taken effect in the game as the water looks pretty sweet)
Improved Lights and FX

Then I manually installed Immersive armors, they are appearing in the game just fine.

Everything seems to be hunky dory but then I go to do some shopping and switch out my archery enchanted glass helmet and silver necklace and equip speech/price enchanted amulet and theives guild hood and I am still recieving the archery bonuses and not recieving the enchanments from the amulet and hood. I know that this isn't just a visual bug because the prices aren't as low as usual when I stack like this (still lower than max because of blessing of mara and gift of charity).

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks ^.^

Did you run LOOT? And what was the error NMM gave out? Did you try and put those mods into a brand new game or into an existing save file
I ask because none of those affects enchantments and you shouldnt have a problem with them.

No, I didn't think I would need to with the ones I installed being pretty complimentary, I'm assuming I should have then, pretty new at this (installing mods, not Skyrim)

Error loading the following mods: c:\Games\Nexus Mod Manager\Skyrim\Mods\WATER 2-08-13268-2-08.7z

And existing save file, made a backup before the Immersive armour mod, I suppose I could check my backup to see if that is the issue.

And I know none affect enchantments, that's what confused me.

Edit for typos, I type like a special needs donkey.

You always need to run LOOT. :)
It doesnt matter how small, or popular, or old a mod is, you need to have it set in your load order properly.

That seems like a NMM specific error rather then anything to do with the mod. I have no NMM experiance though so I cant really help unfortunetly.

Try a new save and see if it still happens. Installing mods mid save is generally a bad idea. While most mods can be installed reasonably safely into an existing save, it tends to make bugs already in your save come to the surface, or make them worse. Uninstalling mods from an existing safe is a definite do not though.

Well I deactivated Flora overhaul rather than uninstalled, I have a friend who does this through NMM and hasn't had issues, I wouldn't ♥♥♥♥ about with manual installs though.

I checked the load order manually, wasn't aware of needing LOOT, I knew of it but always thought it was for pretty dodgy mods rather than well endorsed ones haha >.<'

When u say a new save do you mean a new game from Helgen cos it'll be a fair few hours before I am enchanting my items and can give a response about that lol.

First step is running LOOT I guess, thanks XD.

LOOT is the : Load Order Optimisation Tool
While it does have functions to notify you about known corrupt mod files, its primary purpose is to set your load order in a way that makes the mods load up properly. Load order is vitally importaint for mods because its how the game reads their data. It helps avoid conflicts and make sure that youre data is loading properly so the mods are actually functioning.

And yes, I mean new from new at the menu. You can always download an alternate start mod and use that to bypass the helgen stuff :)

LOOT fixed the problem mate, I know it may have seemed like a simple solution but I'm an imbecile and I don't think so thank you XD.

[Nazenn]

Haha, its okay. The simple solutions are the easy ones to miss (take it from the person whos been modding for months, has hundreds of mods, and still tried to start the game with a missing master file today on accident :P )
Glad that it fixed it. Let me know if you run into any more mod problems
