How to actually install mods for Fallout 4?

For the life of me, I can't figure out whether the mods I'm downloading through NexusMods are actually being installed in my Fallout game. When I run my game, and look at the mods within game it seems that mods I installed through NexusMods are not there. What gives? I see other posts about "install directory" and I don't understand how to configure that. My age is getting the best of me, I'm afraid.

Have you read any of the knowledge base articles or watched any of the beginning tutorial videos that are built right in to Vortex that tells you how to do that stuff, From the KNOWLEDGE BASE tab?

 

 

The SETTINGS tab, is where you change the settings for a program, every program has a SETTINGS Menu or tab, where you can configure the settings for that program, such as "Install Directory" etc.

I'm going to read through all of what you mentioned. I just assumed that Vortex would be able to pick up the mod install directory of Fallout 4 and I could rely on Vortex to handle the downloading (which it does) and actually deploying (which it doesn't do without configuration). Thanks for replying. :thumbsup:

After going through a number of the tutorials, I still do not see mods 'in-game' that I supposedly installed through Vortex. For example, "F4 The Death Tunnel", a mod that is shown as "Enabled" in Vortex, does not show up while looking through my mod load order in-game. I must have inadvertently changed some setting in Vortex :(

So you are saying that you expected Vortex to think for you and decide for you ... there are several settings that you need to turn ON as the one pointed by HadToRegister for Vortex to be almost 100% automatic so you can only focus in downloading/installing/enabling mods and resolving their conflicts if any.

 

You really need to investigate, research, read and try so you can learn Vortex. Go against this process and you will never get to know it.

Did you DEPLOY the mods after you installed/enabled them?
