Missing Plugins - 1.7.8

[AveryAttack]

I had to do a reset of my computer recently so I've been rebuilding my mod list for Skyrim Special Edition. Naturally I have a good amount of bugs to sort out and conflicts to manage, but I've run into a problem that makes this task particularly difficult. Plugins that I disable disappear entirely from Vortex. Specifically the ones marked as "not light".

 

In total I had around 300 not light plugins. I had all of my mod files saved so I was just importing them from another folder to sort through on Vortex itself since it gives me mod names rather than just file names. After I narrowed everything down to 250 I tested the game, there were conflicts (as expected), so I went in to start experimenting with what might be causing the crash and what to try and replace, but all my not light plugins that I had disabled are completely gone.

 

Example: I have two different Whiterun overhauls, I kept my favorite in and disabled the other. Now I want to try switching them out but the one I disabled doesn't show up on the plugins tab, not under "not light", not under disabled, not under ghost, and not even when I searched up the mod name or file name. I have this problem with all of the not light plugins I disabled.

 

I do still have the files in the Vortex Mods folder and the actual mods themselves (under the "Mods" tab) are still there, all that missing are the plugins inside Vortex.

 

Skyrim Special Edition is the only game that I use with Vortex.

Make sure the mod actually has a plugin and that you've deployed since making the change.
