Help with mods not working

[Brian3211]

Ok, I I am having issues with getting esm/esp mods to work. All the texture mods I add that just go in the meshes and/or textures work perfectly fine, but all the mods in the form of an esm or ESP file won't work even after I activate them. Here is what I have done so far:

 

1. Moved my steam folder to c:\games

2. Made sure that plugins.txt was writable

3. Ran the boss exe so I would have the right load order

4. I have ticked all the mods in NMM and in data file but they still don't work in game.

5: I have tried different mods together and just a single mod at a time

 

I have no problem with texture mods, but I have no clue as to why I can active the ESP/ESM mods in NMM and in data files but they don't work in game. And when I quit the game they are still activated.

 

Could someone please point me in the right direction as this is the first time I have ever modded a pc game. Thanks.

My advice is to go to your NMM Plugin page and use the export current load order button to save your load order. Then uninstall every mod, close NMM, open NMM and reinstall all your mods. Go back to the plugin page and make sure the mods are all ticked, and then import your previous load order.

 

This may or may not work but, it's worth a shot before completely uninstalling NMM and downloading all your mods again.

EDIT: I got them working, turns out I needed to patch the game. I was still running 1.1.21.0.1(or something) I updated to 1.9.x.x.x.
