reinstalled all mods. now it works. idk. thanks for the suggestions yall

yes, i'm sorry. that's what i meant by bethesda.

the game path is correct, i just accidently copied the /mods portion. it's where steam installed the game. the mod staging is where vortex chose. yes, i have selected hardlink deployment

mods are enabled on mods tab and plugins tab. mods are deployed as well. D:\Vortex Mods\skyrimse D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Mods https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/22392 The People of Skyrim 2 AiO https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/22143 Drunk Sinking Heads Idle Fix SE (required for TPoS2) https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/30051 Unplayable Faction Armors SSE

followed as many tutorials, how-to's, other people's posts, etc. that i could find. mods are enabled and deployed, but for some reason in skyrim, they are just not working. the mods are visible as just a file name in the mod list and don't actually mod the game. i have other mods that are running just fine, but they aren't through vortex, they're through bethesda. are the bethesda mods a conflict, or is it something else entirely?
