Trouble with disabling mods and plugins

[virgoproxyy]

I am having a hard time with vortex not disabling certain mods when I say "disable all", "remove all" or just switch to an empty profile, even if it disables the plugins themselves as disabled. I also noticed a lot if not all of the plugins I was having trouble with were sticking around in my plugins.txt file, and someone said it could be caused by using both vortex / nexus mod manager mods and using mods from the built in bethesda.net mod system together, but even after uninstalling all of my bethesda.net mods the problem still persists.

 

Even if I manually enable and disable the problematic mods if I flip over to the esp section they'll still show up as enabled

 

This is an example of the problem I'm running into: https://prnt.sc/ner8a1

Clean your Fallout 4 game directory.

1) Open Vortex and click Purge. Wait until it completes. This removes all the mods Vortex installed.

2) Close Vortex.

3) Delete everything in Fallout 4 that was not installed by Bethesda. Delete Data/Textures, Data/Meshes, and Data/Scripts and anything else that does not belong.

4) Use Steam to validate your game. It will replace any files you should not have deleted.

5) Start Fallout 4 from Steam. Make sure it runs mod free.

6) Install anything that has to be installed outside of Steam, like F4SE.

7) Start Vortex and hit Deploy mods. That will install all the mods you used Vortex for.

Done.

Look closely at your plugins.txt file.

 

Notice that some plugins have an Asterisk * in front of them.

 

Those are the plugins that are ENABLED.

 

The plugins without an asterisk are DISABLED.
