Mod issues.

[Tairnean]

Hi folks! I'm having some trouble with several mods. I am wondering if it has something to do with the fact that I've gone and split my mods between bethesda.net and NMM. I have some in each. Has anyone run into problems with this?

 

DLC:

Automatron

Contraptions

Wasteland

Vault-tec

 

 

 

NMM Mods(in no particular order. Will do load order in a bit):

 

Thematic and practical(Installed, doesn't seem to be working)

Settlement keywords expanded

Homemaker

Place Everywhere

Scrap Everything DLC Neutered

F4SE

Achievements

 

BethNet:(in load order according to beth.net)

 

1. AWKCR

2.AWKCR automatron patch

3. AWKCR contraptions patch

4. AWKCR vault-tec patch

5. SSEX

6. SOE

7. Locksmith

8. Settlement Management Software

9. NCR Veteran Armor

10. Improved map w/visible roads

11. Holstered Weapons by Azar

12. Eyes of Beauty

13. K-9 Harness

14. Solar Power

15. DKS-501 sniper rifle

16. Misfit Ink

17. Ponytails by Azar

18. Lots More Beards and Mustaches

19. Improved Power Armor Paint

20. Lots more male hair

21. Lots more Female hair

22. More Power Armor paint.

23. planted plantable

24. gold trimmed power armor(I have yet to see)

25. Customisable Vault suits.

 

Now, load order according to NMM:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now the problems I am having are: Thematic and practical, is not showing up anywhere. uninstalled, reinstalled, with and without cheat mode. Nothing.

 

I also tried to use the desert eagle mod, but had an invisible gun, despite following the authors directions explicitly.

 

Some of the customisations are not showing up on my combat armor/power armor. Colors, decals etc.

 

I tried adding lore-firendly posters as well, but had an invisible menu category. The game said the things were there, but they were invisible. The same thing also happened with SKE's minuteman propaganda posters.

 

Also, my decon arches are suddenly not working. it plays the animation, but doesn't remove the rads. Regardless of how long I stand there, or how many times I go back and forth through the silly thing. I don't know if this is related to anything, but thought it worth mentioning.

 

I know I don't have all the DLC, but I have scoured both beth.net and Nexus for patches and have not found any beyond what I already have.

I also know I am not running the unofficial patch because I have been unable to find a version that isn't for all DLC.

 

 

Any suggestions or input?

Fallout 4 Unofficial Patch, Files Section, has a download for the version that doesn't require all the DLC.

 

In general, if on PC, you're going to have less problems by downloading everything from Nexus.

It sounds to me like the typical NMM bugged install issues and that it's not actually installing the mods correctly.

 

My standard copy/paste response to this issue:

The latest versions of NMM (from the last few months actually) are really bad about not properly installing and activating mods. Unfortunately they've also stopped supporting it while they work on a new one from scratch. I suggest either switching to a somewhat older, more stable version of NMM or switching to Mod Organizer 2 which has recently started receiving support again with a new developer.

0.61.21 is a decent stable version: https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Nexus-Mod-Manager/releases

Mod Organizer 2: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/6194/?

Make sure you also followed the ini file instructions to enable mods, this also enables the game to be able to use loose files. It's easy to forget this step in a full re-install because you only have to do it once. I've forgotten myself. http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Fallout_4_Mod_Installation

Mod Organizer 2 is pretty stable and works well, it's what I use. The only issues Mod Organizer has is that it is a little more prone to crash when using external apps like FO4Edit, LOOT, and the Creation Kit. Thankfully though it's more annoying than showstopping. The crashing usually happens when exiting one of those programs and thankfully the crashing seems to happen after whatever changes you made were saved. Even more thankfully, since Le Presidente took over development the exit crashing with other apps has significantly reduced.
