[FO4] Gog GOTY mods not working

I just bought a gaming pc, and bought fallout 4 from gog. I followed a tutorial on downloading vortex and f4se. After some hiccups everything was working according to vortex. I downloaded test mods that don’t impact the game much and launched fallout 4, I see that it says mods are loaded, achievements disabled, hurray. When I start a new game, the mods aren’t on, I had quick start on, and the cheat terminal. Nothing happened, am I missing something?
