I have used LOOT to generate plugin.txt my mods that I have manually installed but skyrim just seems to be ignoring the plugins file. No errors, the game plays fine but no mods. They are not listed in installed content, and I am pretty sure the ordinator mods is supposed to overhaul perk tree but the perk tree is just vanilla. SKSE(script extender) runs fine with no errors thrown.

I am running using lutris on linux btw.

Thank you!!!!!!!!! The asterix was the problem. That problem had been giving me quite the headache
