When you download a file it will be added to the Mods tab, but it will not be active which means it won't show up in the game until you activate it. NMM does not automatically activate mods as there is a chance your downloads will conflict with currently installed files, and we think it's best if you manage this process manually so you do not inadvertently break your game.

To activate and install a mod simply select the mod within the Mods tab and click the 'Activate' button.

To deactivate and uninstall a mod simply click the 'Deactivate' button. You can also double-click the mod in the list to activate or deactivate mods. Deactivating mods simply removes the files the mod used from the game folders and removes the content from your game.

Once a mod has been activated in the Mods tab it should be installed and added to your game, ready to be used. You do not need to do anything else. Simply run the game.
