Vortex says cannot sort because of cyclic rules despite said plugins having no rules

When modding fallout New Vegas it continuously says that plugins couldn't be sorted because of cyclic rules

it is weird because there is no button to resolve the issues manually on the window

and that there are no rules revolving around my file (classic adobe buildings)

I've tried setting custom rules for said plugins

I've tried deleting all rules and reapplying them

I've tried restarting vortex

I've tried purging all mods

I've tried disabling all plugins

none of this works

any help would be appreciated

Sounds like there might be a problem with LOOT master list for New Vegas concerning these plugins. 

brayduck_classic.esp

VICE - Classic Adobe Buildings.esp

I've just looked and neither seems to appear in the LOOT master list at all, so it must be something you've done in your setup that broke it. 

Can you grab the file at %appdata%\Vortex\falloutnv\userlist.yaml and paste it here? (This contains all your custom rules). 

You should also link to the pages/files you downloaded to get those plugins, as the only other reason for an issue would be something to do with the plugin metadata itself.
