I have noticed the 'Mods' label on the side will show its loading icon after maybe 5 seconds of 'Preparing', but it does not return. I have since deleted the LOD pack from my mod folder and have tried installing other mods both through local zip files and through direct downloads from Nexus. Vortex saw the LOD pack correctly, but attempting to install leaves me stuck at 'Preparing'. I uninstalled and deleted a zipped SSELODGen LOD colleteion, re-generated my LODs, took a nap, zipped the output, and added it manually to my mod download folder.
Mods were installing and deploying fine previously. Having this issue as well on 0.16.12 with Skyrim SE.
