I had edited the .ini file with those two lines, and still nothing worked for me. I thought maybe I did something wrong, so I started from scratch a few time (it doesn't really bother me as I've just kept the vanilla FO4 install files on a USB so I don't have to download it all over again). Another thing that was REALLY weird, was that even though the mods that had plugins and were still ticked in NMM, they still wouldn't work in FO4 for some reason. I had found an old forum saying that due to some updates, NMM for some people would say it was installing the mods but when they checked the Data folder that it really wasn't the case. I will miss the simplicity of NMM, but due to me having many issues with it so far (whether it's widespread or just me) I'm gonna try out MO2 for a bit and see how it goes for me. So far I've installed one mod and it actually worked for me this time, which is a first. So far so good. I hope that clears up anything that I've mentioned, if you want to know more I can try my best to give more insight into my time with NMM. All in all, I really do appreciate the help that you've provided me with, whether or not it helped my case.

Sorry for the bump, but I tried doing what you had suggested before and nothing had worked, so I decided to start again from scratch. I installed all the necessary framework mods and edited the .ini files with the proper commands, and I'm still having issues with NMM and getting mods to work and activate. I've got two friends who have told me they even SKIPPED some of the steps (installing F4SE, editing .ini files) and they don't have any of the problems I'm having. I just really wanted to mod this game but to no avail, and I don't see what could be the issue. Is there any way I can supply some sort of logs for this so I can be assisted, or is my case just a one off and I have no chance of ever getting this to work? I really appreciated the help from before but it looks like I need more, and if there's no chance of fixing any of these problems then I think I'm just gonna give up and just try to play vanilla. EDIT: I am going to attempt to use MO2 as I've seen from other people that have the same issue (don't know why it took this long to show me) and have moved over to MO2 reporting little to no issues. Wish me luck

Awesome, I'll keep those things in mind and try to do what you suggested. If it doesn't work anymore I guess I'm gonna try and start from scratch again, hopefully I won't have to though. Really appreciate the help :D

I was running the NMM version found on the website, but I just installed the latest GitHub version and upon right clicking a mod that has a red circle it has the green tick that says activate. Should I try and reinstall all mods using the new NMM, or do you think it would be fine just installing the new version without uninstalling mods? I even cleaned up my LOOT, did auto sort load order (since I'm not knowledgeable enough to do so myself) and cleaned all ITM using FO4Edit. Do you think it could be a thing with incompatible mods that isn't being shown in LOOT or NMM? I very much appreciate the help, and the Toxicity ;)

I've had this problem for the past few days now, and I don't know why it's happening. Every mod that has an esp and comes up in the plugins tab seems to be fine and stay checked, and I've fixed all problems in LOOT and FO4Edit with no errors or messages left over, but the issue is still happening. I really wanted to play this game as I have gotten a new PC but the disabling is really letting me down, and I can't figure out why. I'm a fairly new person to modding, and I've tried to do everything that looks and seems right so any help is very greatly appreciated, please no toxicity. Thank you :) If you need me to provide any logs or images I can do so upon request, just not sure what I would need to provide at the get-go.
