I've struggled with this for 3 days now trying to get basic mods set up. From the beginning, the root of my problems has been the DLC items not showing up in either mod manager. After checking and rechecking them in data files through the launcher and making sure they are in my fo3goty data folder, they still appear as missing and then deselect everything in my mod managers. I might also add that I have yet to get the DLC plugins to appear in NMM(not sure if that's just how it is or not) so any mod requiring them disables itself because the DLC is apparently missing. It's been hard searching for info on fixing this and what little info i did find, didn't apply. So now I'm asking for help through you all and hoping for someone to help me out. I purchased the goty edition through steam so no reason for them not to be there. They show up in LOOT even when not showing up on NMM. So far, I have successfully installed FOSE, Large address aware enabler, g4wl disabler, UFO3Patch, NMC, CASM, and the official 1.7 patch. While setting up the Paradox RH ironsights, it reverted back to saying that the dlc is missing. I'm also on win10. Sorry if this is too much info, but i just wanna put out as much as possible to help figure this out. Thanks in advance. TL;DR: "DLC is missing" error constantly recurring while setting up mods. Along with constant rechecking of all esps in Data Files. Any help is appreciated
