Guest Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 I can't start a new game with mods installed. I just re-installed FO4 from Steam and everything checked out and worked fine with no mods. I added a set of mods and tried to start a new game... all I got was an infinite loop of the intro music and the video of the power armor and workshop, plus an ad for Creation Club. this ran for at least 15 minutes with no change. Killed it with the Task Manager. FYI... I have done everything I am supposed to do to set up for modding (I hope) including - up to date drivers, up to date Win10, fully up to date Steam Client and FO4 and DLC - plus verified files, then changed to "never update" and went off line. I cleaned DLC with FO4edit, sorted with LOOT (yes, before AND after loading mods), installed F4SE (correctly following their guide) and launched the game thru F4SE as Administrator with no mods loaded. It worked just fine, and I was able to create a character and get started toward vault 111. I Escaped from the game and saved, went to desktop and started to load mods (CBBE and Bodyslide plus Looks Menu and 2Pac4Eva's Skimpy armor replacer.) FO4 would not start a new game... back to the infinite loop. Oddly, I can load the Save file I created before adding mods and the game starts up fine with mods added, and I can add more mods to this save, just not to a new game. Anybody ever have this happen? How did you fix it?
myuhinny Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 Have you tried turning off one mod at a time til the infinite loop stops? Also make sure if a mod has a master that you turn those off as well and just keep trying that till you find the culprit.
KoolHndLuke Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 I've had this happen I think. It's definitely one mod hanging you up like myuhinny said.
dharvinia Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 Some mods are level activated, this could also be a problem.
Badtanker Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 I have had this problem since this last update and for me it was Homemaker that was the trouble maker for me. I'm figuring you did the things for FO4 custom.ini and FO4.ini that your supposed to edit so if your just running bare minimum mods not sure because the ones you listed I've never had really trouble with except when NMM loaded them in wrong and I had reinstall after I figured out what the trouble was
Guest Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 Solved! As y'all said... mod conflict. In my case it was Courser Ghost Specter standalone armor. I missed a requirement somewhere, even though the author did not list any? Don't care enough to look into it deeper. I can now start up normally. :?
