Installing but not installing?

[drhipocracy]

Hey guys, Im completely new here and have never ever modded before but I figured Id start somewhere. So I downloaded the Nexus Mod Manager and downloaded and installed two mods in particular. 'Better Dialogue Font 1.1' and 'Better Heads'. On the Mod Manager it shows they're installed and active, but even though I returned to old saved games and made a few new games, Im not seeing them in affect in-game. Any help here? Thanks.
P.S. Im using the Morrowind disc version found in the Elder Scrolls Anthology Bundle, might as well mention this since there is a few different versions.
P.S.S. I havent downloaded any of the Morrowind DLCs even though alot of these mods require them, but to my knowledge neither of the two mods I downloaded and installed require them.

It's probably NMM messing up. AFAIK if you're using it for anything other than Skyrim it's a bit pants. Others will have more experience of it though

 

That said, this is worth a read so you can understand what's going on under the bonnet (or what should be) so you can fix it:

Thanks! Going through this page a second time over helped. I had to activate the activated mods in the Data Files in the Morrowind starting menu and now it works!
