How do I install this mod ?

Hi, guys.

I recently came across a mod recently that could really draw me back into playing this awesome game again. The ''Auto Loot'' mod that sadly isn't on Nexus anymore, but the author still upgrades it like it did a month ago.

 

Last run I had I quit Fallout 4 at like level 30 because it was becoming too tedious for me to collect every single little piece of junk, ammo, armor etc out of every shelf, box or container after I cleared a location. Half the time I was not playing Fallout 4, but loot collecting simulator, it was really a game breaker for me and that is why I quit. I needed every piece of something because I like to heavily mod weapons and armors for me and my settlers.

The mod is here: https://letsplaywithfire.com/releases/file/auto-loot/. I tried installing it manually, but that didn't work. Next I tried installing and using Vortex, but things seems even more complicated for a mod newbie like me to install this. What are the steps to install it ? Upon logging in and downloading the mod files, you come across 2 *.esp files and a *.ba2 file. What do you do with those ? I tried copying it into 'Data' folder of the game, activating them in the mods menu, then loading the mod holotape to config it, but that that didn't went well at all, still nothing.

Thanks in advance for your help, guys.

"I tried copying it into 'Data' folder of the game, activating them in the mods menu, then loading the mod holotape to config it" - sounds about right.

You do have the required DLC's?

 

2 *.esp's might be 1 to many. Could be you need to choose one. Can't check as I don't have an account to download the mod and am not about to create one for it.

Thank you ^

Yes, I have the 3 needed DLC's. As for the 3 mod required files, they are Auto Loot.esp, Non-Playable Flags Patch.esp and Auto Loot - Main.ba2. And there is 1 more file in the ''Optional'' folder called Auto Loot - UFO4P Components Patch.esp, this I didn't use cause I don't have UFO4P installed. My game version is 1.10.82.0.1.

I tried installing only one esp but still nothing, can't get the mod to work. I can load and read the ingame holotape and here I can configure all aspect of the area loot tool, like radius, type of loot etc (see attached image).

Hope this info above is enough for you guys to hopefully steer me in the right direction, it can't be that hard to make it work I assume. Or maybe suggest another mod that does similar things.
