Im very confused, and frankly its quite funny. I just installed Enhanced Blood Textures, Lanterns of Skyrim, and Footprints. None of them work. Load order is correct according to LOOT. I have many other mods installed, none of them should have compatibility issues with these three. Perhaps the game is just taking a really really really long time to say "Hey! Theres new mods!" Plugins are activated, and yes the plugin files are in the DATA folder. According to NMM, everything should be fine. Yet the MCM menu for EBT isnt there, and stabbing Tiber Septim in the face has the normal vanilla blood splash. In my 300 hours of game time, ive never encountered this weird issue with mods. Its bizzare, because everything seems to be in order.
