Make sure the people you recruited have a high Strength rating, it was suggested to me to recruit Mama Murphy, and Strong. If the people you have recruited have a low strength rating you can move them to a settlement the same way you do when at a settlement.
 
I never give up when I get frustrated with the game because something has gone wrong I try to find a solution if all fails I stop playing and take a break for a few weeks and play a different game, then when I come back I usually find the problem or if not restart again, but most times it a mod causing the problem.

F4SE needs to be in the same folder as Fallout4.exe(along with the other files that comes with it)- different versions of F4SE look for their own version of Fallout4.exe. Make sure you have the latest version of F4SE and Fallout 4. Then try launching the the game with "f4se_loader.exe"... though I think I read launching it the normal way using it's own launcher will still cause F4SE to load.

Which mod manager are you using?

It's such a pain waiting or building up workers using the "entertainment" shacks, that I cheat. On PC, go into console - the "~" key - select a settler so they glow, and type:

setav strength (X amount)

You can change any stat, Strength through Luck, by typing the command with that word and making it any value you want. Change all of them if you like. Sure it's cheating, but the mod doesn't make a lot of things easy on you. I also do the same thing for food and water in settlements because the mod keeps losing the proper values, or workers just quit farming for some reason. At least that has been my experience. I select a water pump in build mode and type in console:

setav 331 (whatever, I juice it to 128)
setav 332 128

I love the mod, but it has never "just worked" for me. Settlements have a bad habit of not upgrading on their own either. At some point they need a nudge.

@Mystical Panda A very good Post! I wasn't thinking of it at all.

That's why things like reshade and enb use the name of a Microsoft DX api(such as DXGI.dll) so it's loaded by the game 'thinking' it's the microsoft library, but instead it's the mod-author's dll library that then calls the Microsoft library functions as needed- like an injected 'middle' man, if you will.

It's the same for the CreationKit iirc- there's an F4SE launcher for that that makes sure the F4SE functions are injected into the CreationKit. Though I haven't done tha tin awhile so I wouldn't quote myself on that.

@Mystical Panda that can really happen too! the ENB can make your game look like it was having a seizure! it happened to me on Skyrim, never wanted to use it again.

Have you tried Reshade? It's not quite as cpu intensive and provides quite a few post processing effects; it's what I'm using here and the results are really nice. The only time I used ENB was to extended graphics memory when playing a game like FO3 or FNV where the game code and and loaded graphics were limited 4g and under(DX9 shadowed gpu memory in system ram iirc which took up the game's memory pool).

It's actually really nice and easy to setup. Just download the installer and it'll ask you for which game do you want to install it for- as it copies the files to the game's installation folder. Then will ask you which shaders you want- at first I checked them all off until I got an idea of the ones I wanted to use. I think I only use 3 total.

I love trying out things I read about in this forum. I'm now using both this and the memory manager stuff. My game is running well enough that I've gathered up both Hancock and Longfellow, my two favorite guys, and built a settlement on a custom site (Pra's Fairline Hills). Maybe I'll build a mansion there for them to live in while I fight Gunners, or who knows, maybe I can arm and armor them well enough to fight alongside me. :)
