MO2 related - FO4 won't load mods

[kubikiri]

My newly reinstalled FO4 won't load any manually installed ESM, ESP, and ESLs after I setup MO2 for FO4. It can recognize and load only one ESP which is installed before I start using MO2.   

All other mods in the Data folder don't need an ESM, ESP, or ESL works well (translation, f4se plugins, etc.).   

I've tried lauching the game from MO, from Steam, via f4se, from File Exporer, deleting plugins.txt and DLCList.txt, deleting game INIs, creating new MO2 profile, activating mods with Wrye Bash, emptying Windows log, excluding game and MO2 EXEs in antivirus, none of these work.   

I'm in desperate and need help.   

Thanks.   

My plugins.txt looks like this:   

My MO2 mod list looks like this:   

And no matter how I try, my in-game mod list is this:

Update: Looks like it's a file format/version problem.   

As a test, I made a simple ESP in FO4Edit (which includes some in-game settings), and this new ESP shows up in my game.   

My game version is the latest 1.10.163, just downloaded days ago in Steam.   

Basically all my installed mods are downloaded from Nexus and are recognized by all my modding tools.   

What should I do now?   

    

Confirmed:    

Did a quick edit to BetterCompanions.esp and now the game loads it with no problem.   

Is it because I'm using a third party translation for the game? Should I revert back to English?
