gods above, what a stupidly specific bug. thanks a ton, however, you saved me from scrapping the entire install out of frustration

I'm running into some trouble with the dragons in my world. I'm using the mods Splendor and DDC3 to change the look of the dragons and add new ones, but every single one of these dragons, without fail, changes their model to the default greenish brown one about five seconds after I locate it, even if I'm not fighting it or remotely close to it, and their original models only come back after they die and burn up. I haven't seen or been able to find anything like this issue anywhere else, aside from one bug report on DDC3 that Opus didn't respond to aside from "just download the patch lol, works fine on my machine". I hate running into dragons in the base game anyway, as their entire execution in the gameplay is trash, so I at least want them to look cool while I spend either two seconds or two years "fighting" them. I'll post my load order if I need to, I'm just getting fed up with seeing all these dragons that look exactly like the first dragon you fight.

Yeah, that's the first thing I did before going about installing mods in the first place. And again, Bethesda mods work just fine. It's only Nexus mods, and any mods installed through NMM, that are giving me issues.

I got back into F4 after a few months of inactivity, so I uninstalled, reinstalled to my secondary drive, then uninstalled and reinstalled NMM to the same drive, and then starting loading up some mods. First, just the unofficial patch, then AWCKR(?), and then some weapon mods. It was at this moment I realized none of the sounds, models, or textures for any of the mods were showing up in-game. They take up inventory space and are listed in the Pip-boy, but they have no model, sound, texture, or animation. I can use mods from the Bethesda site just fine, one of the weapon mods I downloaded was from there, but absolutely no mods from Nexus or loaded through the MM load any assets that weren't already in the game. I really could use a hand with this. I need to have something to do while I wait for Blizzard to fix their potato-tier servers.
