Fallout 4 can't get any mods to work

[IkeRattus]

Hi, it has been a bit since I have played fallout 4 but recently wanted to start a new character, so I reinstalled the game, downloaded all the mods I had been using (since I wiped everything when I uninstalled the game), but can't get anything to work. I modified my .ini as needed, made sure all mods are active and plug-ins are checked, made sure everything was active in the in-game mod menu, tried a new save, tried old saves, did pretty much everything I could think of but to no avail. Perhaps someone here could give me some suggestions or advice toward getting my stuff running, it'd be most appreciated.

Advice for the future here...

 

You actually don't need to reinstall games ever, if you buy a cheap USB drive and copy everything game-related onto it. Instead of copying you can also choose a tool like 7zip and use tar as your backup format. There is no compression involved, so it's still reasonably fast and it also doesn't do funny stuff with your files.

 

When you want to play the game again, just copy everything back and you're good to go. There is no registry mumbo-jumbo involved and no files got distributed to anywhere else than "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common" and (in most cases) "C:\Users\<your username>\Documents\My Games".
