Can't get any mod to work

I have the game at GOG, patch 1.11

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, really. I’m not exactly new to the modding scene (only games I play unmodded are those which have no mods available) but I can’t get any TW3 mod to work at all, no matter what, and I’ve tried plenty of them. I’ve read and re-read Nexus forums and the mods instructions and I’ve reinstalled the mods at no avail (both manually and with NMM). I also verified/repaired game, but nothing seems to work. Every mod I tried is compatible with patch 1.11. What I’ve done so far:

I. install the game

II. copy modNameofMod folder to F:\0 – GOG\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\Mods

III. copy bin folder to F:\0 – GOG\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt

IV. get frustrated

Not only I don’t get the Mod menu under the game Options menu but also the mods don’t work in-game. Custom Localization Fix is installed, UsePlaceholdersForMissingStrings is set to false.

I also deleted the bin folder from the modNameofMod folder (after merging it with TW3 root folder) because I though that maybe leaving it there could be the problem but it changed nothing

And I used Script Merger when needed

Some of the mods I tried: mod3DQuestMarkers for patch 1.11 (a Friendly HUD standalone), Friendly HUD, Extended HUD Config, Hud Positioning and Scale. Although Extended HUD Config returned script errors when I tried to merge it, Friendly Hud doesn’t even need to be merged.

I’m at a loss, if someone has an advice, any advice, pray tell, I’m getting desperate

My PC specs, in case it matters: i5 3570K, RAM 16GB, Win7 64 bits, MSI GTX 980ti gaming edition
