Stuck on "Setup," trying to import NMM mods

[ElegantMonkeyMan]

Vortex version: 0.18.9

 

Game: Fallout 4 (F4SE)

 

System information: Windows 10, x64 OS 16gb of RAM.

 

Mods: Many, ~250

 

 

Issue: When I began importing mods from NMM to Vortex, it got past the first step but won't make any progress on step 2, "Setup." It just loads forever. I thought it was because I had a lot of mods, but after more than an hour it still made 0 progress. Is it possible that I just have to wait a really long time, or is there something else going on here?

 

 

Possibly helpful details (I don't know what will be useful and what won't, so here's everything): Some of the mods are missing masters, just a couple of them. One example is "better cooking stations," which relies on a drinking-animation mod to be complete. The mod still works without the drinking-animation mod, it just changes everything about the cooking stations except for the drinking animation. Do I need all the master mods for the import to work?

 

Another possibly helpful detail is that all the plugins for all my mods show up under "plugins," and are labeled as "enabled," yet the "mods" tab is empty. What does this mean?

 

I just added script extender, if that matters.

 

Here's the screenshot but the title pretty much speaks for itself.

Do you have a rough idea of how many files there are and what the file size is?

 

If it's a lot, could you try just leaving it for a few hours (when you're out, for instance)?
