Settlers Won't Trade Items

[Ironman5000]

I'm having a problem with a fairly new game, got a couple of settlements started but when I try to talk to the settlers "I just want to trade some items" they respond "-" and look really pissed off at me. I played this game quite a lot and never seen this before so i'm wondering if one of the mods I installed are causing the problem, i've googled it and the only solutions people suggested are to reassign or wait in a different settlement or hard reset nothing works so can anyone advise me??
