New to modding, some mods not working

[Avematic420]

Hey everybody!

 

Before I troubleshoot, wanted to point out-

 

I am new to the pc gaming community and have been independent in learning everything until up to this point, so please be patient if I am unfamiliar!

 

I have downloaded and been using the nexus mod manager for two weeks. Modding new vegas and oblivion and everything has been fine!

All my games have been downloaded on steam, except for fallout 4. I bought the copy myself new.

 

All my mods show they are launched but certain texture mods and whatnot are not showing up in the other side bar that shows all the running mods.

For example, the working mods for F4 I have:

 

Rebuilt Croup Manor

Ballistic weave to all clothes

 

 

But anything like rexturing power armor, my pip boy, or adding in new clothes like the ncr riot gear or black combat armor dont work.

When I click the green arrow to launch the mod it will show its launched since the only option left is to disable it. I really dont want to uninstall my game and lose my progress as a character as I am still enjoying the experience with or without mods.

 

I am currentlt typing this on my phone and will be back to my PC tomorrow to take pictures of my nexus manager mod list to show whats running. Cheers

Some mods won't have plugins to activate, namely 'replacers'.

They just replace things already in game, so normally things like textures, sounds, animations.

 

If you're ever in any doubt as to whether a plugin should show on that tab, then you can look into the files of the download with the magnifying glass on the download page of the mod. If there is no esp or esm in there, then it won't add a plugin to activate.

 

I'm no expert myself but hope that's a start :)
