FO4 Reinstalled, some mods work, some don't.

Hi guys. Some background information for context:

  • Bought a new SSD and decided to move my Steam library over. My original game was modded to hell (100+ mods).
  • Post move, kept getting CTDs on loading a save game. At this time, I decided I didn't really want to go the whole settlement building route, so I uninstalled a bunch of settlement mods (Homemaker, Alternate Settlements etc.).
  • Disabled all my mods in NMM (mistake #1?), deleted local files for FO4 in Steam, reinstalled the game, reactivated my mods, and of course no mods were active.
  • Realizing my mistake, I re-evaluated which mods I wanted, added a few new ones, uninstalled all mods via NMM and reinstalled them. With a fresh FO4 install, a fresh set of mod installs, sorted more or less according to Wax2k's informative post, I should be good to go, right?

Here's where things get strange.

  • Starting a new game was fine. I got all the way up to outside of Vault 111. I used Faceripper to replace the face using an older save file. CTDs on starting up FO4 (I couldn't get past the Bethesda logo).
  • Figuring it was a faulty load order, to test I disabled all mods via NMM. CTD on starting up FO4. I tried running LOOT to sort my load order. CTD. I re-sorted my load order according to Wax2K's post again. CTD. Confused, I ran a local file integrity check, got 3 invalidated files. FO4 now starts again.
  • I activated each plug-ins in order of my load list to see if I had a particular mod which was causing my problems. Activate mod, check to see if the game starts. Rinse and repeat. I get through every single mod (note, once a mod seemed to check out, I left it activated and continued down my load order list), no problems. I go back to my new save game, and CTD.
  • Assuming that somehow THAT save game got corrupted, I started another new game. So far so good, but only SOME of my mods seem active.

While I've not been able to check them all, here's a list of things that seem to be working, and those that do not:

 

Working

  • Button Lowered Weapons
  • Easier Hacking with Options
  • Faster Terminal Displays
  • Pip-Boy Flashlight

Not-working

  • Cheat Menu
  • DEF_UI
  • Full Dialogue Interface (ugh, I'd forgotten how s*** the original FO4 dialogue system was)
  • Discrete HUD for DEF_HUD
  • Gold Kit for Color Pipboy
  • CBBE
  • Ponytail Hairstyles by Azar (the entries exist in SLM and during initial character creation/confirmation, but all were bald)
  • THBrows (same as Ponytail Hairstyles)
  • NanoSuit (I chose the NanoSuit Pipboy option, but my Pipboy remains the standard one)
  • Proto Vault Suit
  • Vault Booty

Possibly working

  • Valdacil's Item Sorting
  • A Realistically Weightless Colored Sorting Mod (one or both of these is working, as I get {material} tags on scrappable junk)
  • CUTE (uncrafted yet, but entries are showing up in the Chem workbench)
  • Troublemaker Outfits Collection (same as CUTE)
  • Commonwealth Shorts (same as CUTE)

Working strangely

  • Rockin' Red Rocket (Vanilla items appear in the Sanctuary RR, along with a locked door which I presume leads to the new cell, but the walls to RR, the gas pump/service arm, the rocket (and columns extending to the ground), and the RR signage are all missing).
  • Glock 20 (I can console the gun into my inventory, equip it, reload it, kill with it, but the model for it doesn't appear).

 

A couple of things I've checked.

 

  • [Archive] etc. changes to my Fallout4Custom.ini are fine.
  • plugins.txt correctly displays my NMM load order.
  • Mods seem to be installing their files correctly (at the very least, they're not being installed on my old HDD).

So, after this lengthy description: HELP?

 

I'm kinda at my wit's end here. While I'm happy that FO4 is playable again, I can't really see myself playing without mods. If anyone can give me any insight into what might be happening here, I'd be grateful.

 

At this point, I'm wondering if the nuclear option would be for the best. In such a case, what would be the best way to go about doing this? Reinstall the game, reinstall the mods? Delete all my old save games? Give up and go play The Division (please don't make me do this, at least not until 1.2 drops)? Really, I just want to play Far Harbor :sad:
