Multiple adoptions mod and others not working

[DarkxKirlia]

So first off, let me preface by saying I'm not good at modding. I don't really understand it, I just follow the youtube tutorials to the best of my ability and that usually can get things to work for me. I also hope this is the right place to post! (TBH I thought I already posted about this issue but now I can't find it so if I did, I'm sorry!)

 

So I have SKSE, vortex, and it's all running pretty well. I definitely have mods that are working, but I also have quite a few that refuse to work. Even if vortex doesn't come up with an error (sometimes they do), my game will just flat out refuse to load up when I try certain mods.

 

When I do get an error on vortex, it says something about how the mod isn't compatible because the mod is meant for Skyrim (2011)?

I think it might have something to do with the version of my game, but like I said, I don't know anything about modding. I'm using Skyrim SE, I have the AE but don't have it downloaded. Like I said, I can get some mods to work to varying degrees (I do run into some issues like characters walking around with a faint glowing triangle around them, but I can ignore that) but I got the game on PC because I really wanted 1) prettier characters and 2) multiple adoptions.

 

I'm also running into another error where I adopted Sofie and now I can't give her gifts but that's another problem for another day (*sighs and shakes head in not tech savvy sadness*).

 

If you have any ideas or advice, please let me know!
