Missing masters will not install for FO4

[sauronblue]

I've tried everything, cannot get weaponsmith extended.esp (all attempts end up with a v2.3 or some such, and it is not accepted, but this is gotten by installing extended, not extended 2. Dunno where to get the straight .esp that the game is searching for, tried all of google)

 

PA materials paints

any mod any weapon

unique weapon mod recipes

 

are all installed, but the manager is looking for something different. I have tried going to each of these and manually installing the mod, but to no avail.

This is what I CANNOT fix. Some youtube or forum posts helped me to get some other errors under control, but these are killing me

It seems any version change or naming issue make it so the manager doesn't recognize the mod as the one it needs

 

I don't know how to copy/paste the list of mods I have, so I'm sure that will be the first comment, asking for that- please advise how to provide that

From what I know of Weaponsmith extended, it requires a LOT of other mods to be installed in order for it to work.
All of those mods, and the instructions for properly installing Weaponsmith is on the Weaponsmith Mod p[age's Description Page.

Good luck, I've been modding since 2003 and have never attempted installing it.

I appreciate any response, but I stated in the OP that I have the required mods installed, it is simply not registering them.

I have installed the particular mod about 5 times, but it always shows up as weaponsmith extended v2.3xxxx, not a pure "weaponsmith extended.esp", and I feel that this is the issue with the error. Again, it is the w e mod that is showing as not there, not another mod that it's dependent on, so if the problem is a master of w e, not w e itself, then that also seems like an error. I'm getting the error that better mod descriptions needs w e, not that w e needs something else.

Thanks for any input or even referring to another place to look

Make sure you have the definition of "Installed" correct.

They have to show up on your Plugins page as enabled if an esp or esm. And they have to be Deployed.

Names like "weaponsmith extended v2.3xxxx" will never show on the Plugins page.
