Mod Plugins Don't Show Up in Plugins

[monyarm]

I've started using Vortex both to try it out and to get back into modding, i've started installing a couple mods, but i've noticed that despite the mods being enabled , their plugins don't show up under plugins.

Click the gray boxes that say "Disabled" on the Mods tab. Plugins won't show up until the mods are actually enabled.

I am having the same problem. I am running a new install of version 0.16.12. I have downloaded a mod, installed it, enabled it and deployed it. I've double checked it in the MODS tab and it shows green and enabled. I've deployed it 3 or 5 times with no errors. Despite all this the mod does not appear in PLUGINS tab. Can anyone help me? I'm stumped. :confused:

Some mods do not have ESPs. However for your installed mods that are being affected right click on them, and choose "Open in Explorer" to verify the plugin exists in the staging folder, and also open your data directory in the game to ensure the plugins are actually present in the data folder too.

Thank you sir! My mind is now at ease. I had picked one mod to use as a test - Caliente's Beautiful Bodies Edition v3.4f for Skyrim. I never thought that this mod would not have an associated esp. I've since installed XP32 Maximum Skeleton Extended and, lo and behold, the esp for that mod now appears in the MODS tab. I feel a little stupid about this since I've been playing Bethesda games for over 10 years and modding them for almost as long. I can only chalk this up to not fully understanding this new software. Thanks again. :happy:

That's a Creation Club item that was given free with the Anniversary Edition update. VR version never got that update. If you own the non-VR Special Edition you can probably just copy it over. I believe that's allowed as long as you own both versions of the game.

Thanks for the help unfortunately don't have the non-VR game Is some other way to get the file? again, thanks for your help this stuff it's so niche it's hard to find help.

No. Even with them adding it to the Anniversary Edition it is still paid content and can only be acquired by owning the Anniversary Edition or buying it from the Creation Club.
