» Fri Feb 03, 2017 7:48 pm OK, have a weird issue, and as I've tried the Nexus and other forums with no real answers, maybe someone here can give me an idea.
When I download a mod from Nexus, whether by NMM or manually, they no longer work. They did, until about 3-4 weeks ago. I had auto updates for Steam/SSE, as well as for NMM. I have since turned them off.
The NMM mod folder has the mods archived, the Virtual Install folder has the esp and all related meshes, textures, etc, for the mods in it. LOOT sees them SSEEdit sees them and says no errors and they were clean. NMM has them checked and active in the plug-in list. However, if I go to the game data folder and check, they either are not listed or are empty. I've gotten a few to work by manually dropping the bsa and esp into the data folder, but many still won't work in game, especially if it's only an esp with meshes and textures. It's like there's a disconnect between NMM's Virtual Install and the game files. The message I get from SSEEdit, when I download anything besides textures, is "x active plugin has a non- existing esp".
The game does run fine with what I already had working, and mods downloaded from Beth.net work.
Unless someone can help me figure this out, I will A: play as is and never be able to load much more than textures, B: Uninstall SSE, start over and see if it works, C: uninstall, start over and learn Wrye Bash.
Changing NMM to a previous version did not help, and I don't know where to go to try a previous version of SSE (can't find it on Steam)
Strangely enough, everything in my Original Skyrim still works like a champ.
Now, for all you Wrye Bash fans, please don't just jump in and tell me to switch to Wrye Bash. I know the pros and cons, but when I went from 360 to pc, I didn't know squat, and I got comfortable with NMM, never an issue before. I will go to Wrye Bash if I have no other choice, but would prefer to stay with NMM if possible. I'd rather not have a Wrye Bash/NMM debate, I just want to fix the problem. 
I don't think it's a load order issue, but just in case:
