Im an old user of mods from nexus. I generally only mod FO4 and Skyrim. Ive successfully modded using NMM and Vortex in the past, without the slightest trouble. After about a year off, I now have a new computer and wanted to mod and play FO4. Using Vortex I downloaded a number of my usual mods, installed and YES enabled all of them as normal. Nothing is applying to the game. Looking at my installation directory as I understand it the mods should be installed in D:/Steam/steamapps/common/fallout4/data. There are no mods installed in this directory. All the mods are currently located (staged?) in D:/Vortex Mods/fallout4. I may be missing something obvious. Any pointers would be appreciated. Edit: As I was about to post this I checked the Plugins section of Vortex, and saw that none of the esps were enabled. Deploying them seems to have fixed the problem, tho Im checking all the mods. Im still confused as to why I had to separately deploy the esps in the plugins section to get the mods to install correctly, this was never the case before. Thanks for any input!

Im new to modding Skyrim and have been trying out a few mods, but an having trouble with one. I saw the Mature skin texture and body for UNP CBBE ADEC by Maevan2, both my GF and I thought it was a gorgeous skin and we wanted to try it out. I am using the Nexus Mod Manager as Im not fully versed in manually altering the files. I do not have any other mods activated as this is a fresh install of the game. I am following the directions carefully; I DLed and activated the DIMONIZED UNP female body first, then activated the Mature Skin mod. When activating the mature skin mod, it asks me if I want to overwrite certain texture files, which I let it do. Once entering the game, my character does NOT have the new skin, and in addition she has double nipples and belly buttons and a misplaced skin around the hips, as if two skins are vying for control of her life. I am wondering if I should deactivate the mods and try doing this manually? Any ideas? Thanks!
