sophiextime Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Hi. I wanted to ask for some help please. I want to play FO4 modded and i tried but couldnt get anything to work. I do use MO2 with over 200 mods with Skyrim SE and it runs smoothly and effortlessly with a lot of Nexus mods and a lot of Loverslab mods. But i cant get Fo4 to work at all. I installed FO4 onto my D drive ( SSD). Its also where i have steam. I can run the game fine from there. I installed MO2 onto my D drive as well into my Fallout4 folder. I then installed F4SE and applied the same rules as i did with SKSE. I installed a good handfull of Nexus ( no adult) mods such as general textures, Bodyslide, CBBE and outfits etc. But when i run the game via F4SE in MO2 it wont load all of the mods, just some. I built a CBBE body with skin and outfits with the Bodyslide mod and no issues building it as i have done exactly the same in Skyrim SE. But in FO4 game it wont show. Its just my default body . I installed a different Vaultsuit. but in game it wont show. Only mod i got to work was a HUD mod. But Val sorting mod didnt work, No lighting mods and my MCM was very empty yet many of the mods i installed said they had MCM menus. Is this MO2 being a complete ass? if so is Vortex worth using instead? I did install MO2 a second time ( one install for skyrim SE, one for FO4). Am i doing soemthing wrong? I have currently stripped my PC of Fallout4 and all mods files and folders. So would need to start again but its killing me i cant play it modded. i am confused as to where i am going wrong as i have modded it a long time ago when Nexus Mod manager was about. never tried Vortex but due to MO2 being perfect for Skyrim i want to use it too for FO4. Any advice or help would be really nice please.
mashup47 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 @sophiextime Dumb question but You have Enabled Modding in Fallout by adding a couple of lines to the Fallout prefs.ini and Fallout Custom.ini ?

I will be completly honest and dumb and say no LOL. I didnt even know i had to edit any Ini to let mods work?! Skyrim SE doesnt need that! what lines do i need?? and will that then let all of the mods i couldnt get to work, work? Also i think i recently read that its not wise to install MO2 into your actual steam game folder. is that right and should i just install Mo2 for Fo2 in its own D drive folder and not into the steam game one?

Yup. you just need to add these lines. you will need a text editor like notepad. Navigate to your Fallout 4 Folder at the following location "Documents\My Games\Fallout4" You will need to add the following lines to the Fallout4Prefs.ini file below the section marked [Launcher]: bEnableFileSelection=1 You will need to add the following line in Fallout4Custom.ini: [Archive] bInvalidateOlderFiles=1 sResourceDataDirsFinal= with each of the inis file you will have to set them to read only when you have finished making the edit's. and remember to save them...

Hi Mash! i havent forgotten you i had to re-install the game and it was later here and i had to get to bed so i left the game installing overnight. I am about to go work now too but i will focus on this when i get home then give you a detailed reply on the situation so far. Chat laters and thank you.
sophiextime Posted February 19, 2020 Author Posted February 19, 2020 I just went to edit the Inis. I dont have a Fallout4Custom.ini. I do have a Fallout4.ini though. Plus in your post you said add a line ResourceDataDirsFinal=. but you had no numerical after =. is it 0 or 1 or..?

I grabbed some time yesterday around rl work and installed a few mods from nexus and it runs smoothly. Now its just a matter of making sue the mods i use are up to date and still work as a lot have been made prior to last main game patches and out of date. Its really worth alays reading the comments as i am finding out just how many frustrated people are out there finding broken mods. lol I havent even tried to mess with the sexlab adult ones here for the game yet. Any wise advice there?

Any wise advice there? Plane what mods your going to use, Always read the mods instructions/forum for any issue's (as you said above), Start small and check in game after every five or so mods installed, Take your time and always back up (Base game and saved games (as installing and removing Mods can and will break your game)) . This way you will spend more time playing then Trying to fix a broken game. If you do get stuck Ask informed questions ie. the more info of the issue you give the better the answer you'll get to solve the issue. For a good install guide for installing Advanced Animation Framework try this: . And if you do follow this guide ANY animations NEWER then the ones listed in the guide MUST be installed AFTER the One Patch To Bang Them All. Best of luck and happy Modding.
