No Mods Working, Any of Them

WARNING LOT OF TEXT - TL;DR AT BOTTOM

 

I have been trying to reinstall my mods since this morning because I wanted to play again after a while of not. My issues is that none of the mods are working.

 

How I started:

 

1. Fresh install of the game and purged all mod files.
2. Edited (added) the Falout4Custom.ini file with the necessary lines as suggested by NMM.
3. Installed the Fallout 4 Script Extender.

 

The first time I tried to reinstall all my mods at once like I normally do and just let NMM and LOOT handle most of the work. While this did seem to let some of the mods work, most didn't The "Start Me Up" mod didn't trigger at the start. "Cheat Terminal" never added itself to my inventory. The only mod I could confirm to work is "Push Button to Lower Weapon" which is pretty basic so I am not surprised it worked.

 

To troubleshoot the problem I first tried alternative ways of getting the portable Cheat Terminal to see if anything was working due to it showing up in my load order both pre-game and in-game. I was able to add the holotape but uppon using it none of the commands worked. Trying to change SPECIAL stats did nothing and the add item features result in nothing. The static terminal that appears in the settlement system did show up but like the portable version, the commands did nothing.

 

After giving up on the Cheat Terminal specifically I tried to see if any other mods worked, specifically weapon mods. While I can live without a Cheat Terminal (console commands work great) I did at least want the weapons. I placed the character at the weapon shop in Diamond City to look for modded weapons. Most of the level list weapons were not there. Two were though, but they didn't have models in either their preview in the menus or when equipped. They were also unable to fire (should have been obvious but thought I would try anyway).

 

I uninstalled what I thought might be compatibility issues. I had LOOT constantly redoing the load order, as well as manually doing so. I checked some forums of the mods to see if others have the same issue (some did but not to my extent). I even manually installed certain mods to make sure the files were going to the right place in case it was an NMM issue.

 

At this point, I decided to start from square one again (restarting back at the first three things I did above).

 

From this point, after another fresh start, I decided to do one mod at a time. I started with the Cheat Terminal since I knew what to expect from it if it did work. After trying to get it to work all by itself. it didn't work. It was having the exact same issues as it did with everything installed. Including the one on Bethesda Net. I then uninstalled it and tried to get my favourite weapon mod working first. I installed the mod for the M1 Garand (by asXas) along with AWKCR (as it is required for the mod). It had the same issue as the other weapons. Upon adding the gun via console commands the gun appeared in inventory but the preview picture was blank and there was no model when equipped. I again tried manual installs and load order sorting (what little I could do with such few files) and nothing worked.

 

TL;DR

Mods are actually showing up, few lite ones work, but models and scripts seem unable to work despite having game data (viewed from console / can add items using console commands but they lack functionality).

 

If anyone has ideas on what else to do I am all ears. I have run out of ideas and have become quite frustrated with the situation. Leave any suggestions you have, ask any questions you have (that are not answered above).

Update: I noticed the guns do actually work despite no model, but only in 3rd person mode and they can't reload. Not sure if this is useful information but thought I should at least mention it.

NMM is known for not all ways installing mods correctly the first time.

Make sure all the .ini line's are correct to use mods, then reinstall them one at a time, to be sure they installed correctly.

 

Also make sure NMM is on the same drive as the game is. NMM has issues if they are on different drives.

I have finally found a solution. NMM wasn't coping the script files and it appears that some of the data from the mods got corrupted in the process. I had to delete, redownload, and manually install every mod. Now the issue is finally fixed.

Good old NMM. I am hoping Vortex fix's all the problems NMM has.
