NMM Registering More Mods Than I Have?

[ShadowGryphon]

I uninstalled Skyrim some months ago and now that I'm wanting to reinstall it and the mods I am seeing something odd with NMM: It is telling me that I have more active mods than I even have installed. By a HUGE margin.

At present it currently indicates:

Total plugins - 33

Active plugins - 24

Total mods - 17

Installed mods - 16

Active mods - 70

 

I'm guessing this might have something to do with the fact that I used to have some of these mods installed? A lot of them once I download them I have to disable first before it will let me install them. And a few of them that I used in the past with no problems are now encountering errors during installation that I can only guess is because NMM is registering it as already installed even when it's not?

I'm bad with technical stuff, can anybody help me clear up NMM so that it doesn't register any mods except the ones I've actively downloaded and installed since I reinstalled Skyrim?

Was having this issue myself and just now found a possible solution. I deleted the ReadMeManager.xml file in Nexus Mod Manager > Fallout 4 > Mods > Readme and then restarted NMM and my active mod count dropped from 211 (which were all old mods that had been uninstalled and fully deleted) to 0.

 

Hope this helps you and everyone else having this annoying issue.
