Also mess around with your load order! A majority of issues such as missing item effects are caused by
1.) Load order 2.) Mod conflicts 3.) Outdated Resources 4.) Bad installs from FOMOD installs
If you are coming from another sorting mod some of your items will not update. Unfortunately once the records are altered it's stuck (just like when custom naming items).
The best way to get your items to regenerate the names is to go to a settlement (with workshop access) drop the items on the ground, go into build mode, Hit Tab on each item to store it in the workshop. Retrieve the items from the workshop. This is guaranteed to work.
If you find an item that doesn't generate the tag/icon with this method. let me know and I will add it to the patch.
This compatibility patch adds VIS (Vadlacil's Item Sorting) tags to items from West Tek Tactical Optics, using Dynamic Naming. It's a small, focused utility for Fallout 4 players who use both mods and want consistent item naming. With 400 endorsements and 7,440 downloads, it's a niche but well-received patch.
