First things first, it appears our fellow nexus user ​never achieved to make mods work, meaning the save cannot have been corrupted by mods. Starting all over again is likely to provide no benefit at all on this matter. About the original problem. I now encounter a similar issue, though mods used to work perfectly fine for me until today. What did I change then? Well I did not make any change in my installed mods (that have been running smoothly for several days with any issue), but I did verify game cache integrity with Steam and updated NMM to it latest version. Now almost every mod is broken, doesn't work at all or behave in very odd ways. Reinstalling NMM didn't change anything, reinstalling mods using NMM didn't change anything and even manually reinstalling mods didn't fix the problem. I also tried to check my .ini files, didn't change anything. I see two possibilities: - Verifying game cache integrity breaks mods in such way it is impossible to fix. - NMM update did something that corrupted installed mods. Anyway, considering I have a similar issue (and yours seems to be happening at the exact same time) I believe it is unrelated to mods and most likely to be out of our hands. You are right, mods have never worked for me. Thanks for the input. I've been looking around online for similar issues and other people believe that the latest update to Fallout 4 breaks mods.

Yes I have edited the proper .ini files but still no dice

So I'm at the end of my rope with modding Fallout 4. I have tried both using NMM and installing mods manually, but no matter what I do, no matter what mod I use, they simply will not load in the game. I'm sure I've followed all of the instructions on changing the .ini files. When I check plugins.txt in the Fallout 4 folder, the .esm files for my mods are listed there, but they do not show up in my game. The mod I mainly want to use is Robot Home Defence by TheTalkieToaster. Any suggestions on getting mods to work? *EDIT* As of today, I looked at my plugins.txt file and noticed that the .ems files were absent. I added them back in, reverted the plugins.txt back to Read Only, and loaded up the game. My mods were there and worked beautifully. Thanks everyone who helped out.
