Newbie Here - Need help with Mods...

I think you're putting too much thought into the file structure here.

As for your LOOT troubleshooting, I am not an expert on troubleshooting errors with that program. Plus, I have not used the version I linked you. I have only used the version for LOOT that is not experimental. Sorry I couldn't be more help in that regard.

The regular LOOT does not work with Fallout 4 yet. It will soon though.

 

The snapshot versions that are available are definitely not for use by a neophyte but are for testing and finding problems. The LOOT team just does not have the manpower to hand hold every new user that is not familiar with how things like file structure and various kinds of incompatibility will affect your game.

 

Most current mods do not really need a special load order, those that do usually tell you where to load them in the read me for the mod.

Using mods is NOT like just loading and playing a game - it requires a lot of work on your part. NMM and LOOT are trying to reduce the work needed, but please do not expect perfection because the games are changing constantly - especially FO4. :rolleyes:
