As the title suggests, I have recently realized that I have the ability to mod this game after playing it for a rather long time. I went to vortex, got some cool looking mods, after installing the required extension of course, and went to launch. Game launched fine, I made a new save, beat the tutorial, but when I went to see if any of my mods had worked: nothing. I have no error notifications or warnings alerting me to an issue. My staging folder is in the right drive and all of that too. Am I missing something obvious? Thanks! Tldr; Game launches and plays fine, but there are no mods active in gameplay.
