Starting to mod Falllout 4

[Zeaver]

Hello,

I’m currently trying to mod Fallout 4, and I’m having some difficulty with it. I have read into it a fair amount and watched plenty of Gopher’s videos on modding in general. I am currently testing with Snapable junk fences and the no cash register noise on XP gain mods. As of right now, I have the ini files edited correctly, NMM(Nexus Mod Manager) set up for Fallout 4 correctly, and I have verified the .esp for the mods have appeared in the data files. However, in my excitement with modding, I downloaded and activated around 7 mods before I edited the ini files correctly. I fear this is where I went wrong. Could this be what is preventing them from working now? As I test the two mods right now, going into game with the junk fence mod activated all my junk fences in game disappear. The junk fences disappear visually from the settlement builder GUI and are no longer able to be placed, I can still scroll through them though. An additional note, I am no longer a premium member of Nexus would this effect the mods working. Here are screenshots of everything mentioned above (http://imgur.com/a/rn67j).

Thank you for any help I get. I would love to be able to mod Fallout 4 and become apart of this amazing community.

Well you don't actually need a modified ini. And besides you edited the wrong one anyway. Just use NMM to launch those

If you haven't already, I would definitely recommend checking out Gopher's videos, as they are really great at walking through setting up modding for Fallout 4 (or any of Beth games as well). If need be, you can always delete your data folder and then verify your files on steam and it'll redownload it if you want to start fresh.
