If you are seeing untranslated strings in MCM prefixed with dollar signs e.g. $MCM_Config, you need to enable loose file loading so that MCM can load its translation files.

VORTEX user, make sure you can launch the f4se_loader.exe from the game installation folder beforehand! If the game is not open, Mod Config won't appear on the menu list. Yes, other mods can still work well simply by running directly from Vortex. But, MCM mod does not count
# Your best bet is to manually install F4SE and MCM to make it work (only copy-paste file, not difficult to do) # A conflicted/corrupted plugin will also prevent the Mod Config from appearing, so go to your game's installation folder. Then go to Data > F4SE > Plugins and delete everything inside. Next, launch the game through the f4se_loader.exe in-game installation folder OR Vortex f4se, the MCM mod will be detected # If launching from Vortex Fallout 4 Script Extender (f4se), make sure to set it as Primary MOD Config is only available in-game via the Pause menu (Esc) If it's still not working, then I don't know what else can make the MCM mod work with Vortex
Has the MCM VR version been updated now, or just moved to the download section? I see the one I already have installed says version 1.39 and the one that was added in the download section just a few days ago is 1.0
Anyone not seeing the Mod Config Menu in their pause menu? Me too! Then I found this "-forcesteamloader". Put this into your argument for F4SELoader in your MO2 executables window. Works like a charm!
Same here. Deleted whole game, reinstalled, literally zero mods, expect req's for MCM to test if it works, yet still nothing. Tried also with "-forcesteamloader", nope, nothing, nada.
Edit; Tried one more time as last attempt, by reinstalled F4SE and started game but without "-forcesteamloader" this time, and MCM works just fine now. What kind of dark sorceries are around us..
MCM 1.40 BETA 2 gave me a CTD every time I tried to launch FO4. I added this line to MO2 F4SE arguments and the game launches normally and MCM works. Excellent tip.
I can't take the credit for this little trick. I obviously took it from a post I read elsewhere by someone with superior knowledge and skill but it worked for me. Glad it is working for a lot of you too.

MOD Config is only available in-game via the Pause menu (Esc)
If it's still not working, then I don't know what else can make the MCM mod work with VortexWork in Mod Organizer 2

it solved the problem for me.
What have I missed, what am I doing wrong?
Use Vortex BTW
Edit: I figured out what the problem was. I had 1.39 and I needed 1.4.

EDIT: Somehow BETA2 was downloaded but not activated...sorry ^^
