Mods work then stop! Please help.

[sfulford]

When I install a Mod {I haven't installed that many} they work fine until I come back and play the game again. They are usually gone! I installed a new power armor and when I came back the frame was standing there with no armor attached. Not all the mods have quit however. The new map with better roads etc in the pipboy has never quit. It has been there for a long time now. Can someone please help?? Am I doing something wrong in the installation process? I'm really just winging that because I was not really ever sure exactly how to do it. You down mod from Nexus. then the big box comes up and at the bottom you see the file and click on it and see it actually down loading. After it downloads you see it with the other mods at the top only its grayed out. Then I hit the green check mark and it gets a check mark like the rest. Is that the way??

Either launch through steam or use the launcher in NMM. Launching with the game launcher works about half the time for me. At least the game tells you when your mods are not working.

Your install process seems correct. Your example of only your power armor disappearing might be related to what's known as the "cell reset bug", unless I'm not understanding correctly. If your mods randomly just uninstall themselves, the only thing I can think of is whenever a fallout game patch is pushed through steam (like it did two days ago) it disables all plugins, so you have to go back and turn them all on again.

Also to add, texture and mesh replacement files dont always need plugins (.esp files) to work, so you can have the map replacer working fine even though your plugins have reset.
