Can someone help me with getting mods to work?

[GimbyGimby]

I used this guide: http://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Fallout_4_Mod_Installation

I followed these steps but not the crossed out ones cuz it says not to use them. The mods aren't working though. I assume I need to do something else, what do I do?

 

1. Navigate to your Fallout 4 Folder at the following location "Documents/My Games/Fallout 4"
2. Within this folder will be a number of .ini files, highlight "Fallout4Prefs.ini" and "Fallout4.ini".
3. Right Click, select Properties and ensure that these are NOT marked as read only.
4. Open Fallout4Prefs.ini with your favourite text editor (we use Notepad++).
5. Navigate to the very bottom and you will see the line [Launcher]. Directly underneath this, add the following line: bEnableFileSelection=1
6. Save and Close
7. Open Fallout4Custom.ini with your favourite text editor. * Note that this file was changed from Fallout4.ini following update 1.2
8. Add the following lines to your Fallout4Custom.ini [Archive] bInvalidateOlderFiles=1 sResourceDataDirsFinal=
9. Save and close...
10. Open Fallout4.ini and Find the line that reads: sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\
11. Replace this with the following text
    sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, TEXTURES\, MUSIC\, SOUND\, INTERFACE\, MESHES\, PROGRAMS\, MATERIALS\, LODSETTINGS\, VIS\, MISC\, SCRIPTS\, SHADERSFX\
    * The above settings were deprecated as they were known to cause abnormally long load-times.

You're ready to get modding

I added the lines precisely. I don't know what to do, please help? I been struggling with this for about a month and I would just like to figure this out so i can mod lol

And what exactly did you do with the mod files you downloaded?
