I am posting this just in case some people are still having trouble with Nexus Mod Manager and Fallout 4 (Beta). The plugin.txt (located here C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Fallout4) for NMM can't be in "Read only". Like others have said, the game will ignore ESP plugins (not mesh/texture overides, those are not plugins) if the game is launched with plugin.txt not in "read only. -=What I do when launching from NMM=- I open NMM: I allow NMM to take plugin.txt out of read only. NMM will apply all selected/installed esp files into the Plugins tab of NMM. (You can check for yourself in the plugin.txt) Now turned plugin.txt back to read only. (right click/properties/check read only/apply) Finally Launch Fallout 4 from NMM. (leave NMM open until you see all the Plugins stay checked) Fallout 4 will launch the little screen that says "launch, options, settings". When that shows up keep an eye on the Plugins tab of NMM. If all applied ESP stay selected then you are good to go and the mods will be in game.
