Launching Game Through Vortex Does Not Activate Mods

[LegacyOfTheAsh]

I've searched around for about an hour and cannot find a specific solution to my issue. I installed multiple mods for XCOM2. When I launch the game through Vortex, I get the "red screen" error message, hit escape and load a saved game. When the save loads, I get another "red screen" error message and hit escape. I then notice that none of the 19 mods I have selected are active. This is despite ensuring that I deployed all mods before even attempting to launch the game. I honestly don't have a clue as to what I am doing wrong. I thought I simply had to download the mods, enable them , deploy them and launch the game. Additionally if I launch the game through Steam, I can see the mods I downloaded through Nexus and check them off. If I check any of my Nexus mods off when attempting to launch through Steam, the game window pops up but slaps me with the "XCOM2 is not responding" message. If it helps, there is no "plugin" tab present on my Vortex interface. Am I supposed to create a folder in a specific area for the mods to actually activate? Can anyone lead me in the right direction? I have already referenced the tutorial videos provided on the subject. Thank you in advance.

I have the same exact issue. All the fixes I’ve found don’t seem to work with having the game through steam and launching through steam or vortex. Very annoying bug, I want to play some long war 2!

After you INSTALL the Mods, are you DEPLOYING them?
