Fallout 4 Missing Masters

[Radioman321]

I just recently started pc gaming and as a result I am not super familiar with how everything works so I might just be missing something very obvious.

 

My main issue is that any mod I download on Nexus that requires DLC cause Vortex to give me the Missing Masters message referring to the DLC of Fallout 4. I am fairly sure the DLC are downloaded properly because in my playthrough the DLC triggered like normal and I can go to and from Nuka world just fine. I am not really a fan of the Fallout 4 DLC so aside from traveling to Nuka World to make sure it worked I haven't done anything DLC related. This really sucks because I chose to get the DLC specifically so that I wouldn't have to pass up on cool mods because I didn't have the DLC.

 

Some random things that might help. I got Fallout 4 and the DLC by buying the Skyrim Anniversary Edition + Fallout 4 G.O.T.Y Bundle on the Xbox app a little over a week ago. When I go to plugins and sort flags by Masters the only file that appears is Fallout4.esm and when I sort Group by DLC there is nothing. Two or three days ago I enabled 3 quest and adventure mods that Vortex says are missing masters and my game runs fine until I reach parts of the quest mod that, I assume, need the DLC and my game crashes.

On Xbox, for some illogical reason, the DLCs are stored in a completely different folder to the other games files.

 

This means that Vortex (and LOOT) can't detect them.

 

I would suggest finding the ESMs/BA2s for the DLCs on your HDD, zip them up and install them as a mod in Vortex. This way they are deployed into the game folder where all apps expect them to be.
