Nega1985 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I recently had a frustrating time trying to install a single gun mod into Fallout 4, only to have the gun item appear, but neither the textures nor models showing up for said gun. After looking through my data folder to see if there was any missing files, I noticed that there are no vanilla files in my Data folder. I still have all the main ba2 and esp files, but have no files except ones added from any mods I've tried in the materials, meshes, sound, textures and video files. Oddly enough, the game can still run and actually works pretty fine despite not having any files, but the lack of vanilla files means I can't install any mods into the game. Does anyone else have the same problem, and know how to fix this? I tried reinstalling and verifying game integrity on Steam, but it says nothing is wrong!

wendera Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Not 100% sure what you think you're missing, but all the vanilla textures/meshes/etc and such are in the ba2 files. The only reason you'd have materials/meshes/sound/etc folders is if you'd installed mods. As for the gun, have you gotten other mods to work? Sounds like you might have put the files in the wrong folder or you haven't edited your ini file to enable mods.

Nega1985 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 That's the weird thing; I've followed the different guides to enable modding in the game. I've added InvalidateOlderFiles=1 and sResourceDataDirsFinal= into Fallout4Custom.ini, added uLastAspectRatio=1 and bEnableFileSelection=1 into Fallout4Prefs.ini. I've had some success with mods, but they usually lacked in features. When I installed Full Dialogue Interface with custom options chosen during installation, I'd get the extra dialogue, but it'd still use the up-down-left-right UI, which made it so I couldn't see all of what my character would say. I've been using Nexus Mod Manager to install my mods, so I don't know why it would be putting them into the wrong folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wax2k Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Wrong configuration in the mods' FOMOD could lead to it not being installed in the right folders. Just an example though. You might want to double-check, if the ini-settings are still as they should be and the pluginx.txt has the esm/esp files in it. Then make them read-only afterwards (when asked by NMM, allow it to override the read-only for the plugins.txt). And in case you find a Fallout4.ini in your \Fallout 4\data folder as well, you should delete that. Also make sure, you launch Fallout directly from NMM, not from Steam or Fallouts launcher.

I went over to my other .ini files, check to see if they were as they should (they are), and set them to read only. I took a look into my appdata folder and the plugins I've installed on NMM are there. Still missing the texture and model. I'm going to try your suggestion and see if the FOMOD isn't installing into the right folders, hopefully that will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nega1985 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 Alright, I tried your suggestion; oddly enough, the FOMODs are working fine; the mods' files are going into their perspective folders. The mod still isn't giving me the model and textures for the gun. I also tried looking around again for any .ini files in the Fallout4 folder, but still didn't find one. Any other ideas?

wendera Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 What mod is it? I'm assuming it's on the nexus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nega1985 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 What mod is it? I'm assuming it's on the nexusIt's the M2216 Assault Rifle. I looked into the bugs section and tried the fixes people offered; it didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendera Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Okay, so I haven't managed to duplicate this issue. There also doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the folder structure that NMM would mess up. Since your gun is completely invisible, it's likely your computer/game setup just doesn't like the new mesh. My guess is that there's a tiny issue with new original meshes at this moment in modding that doesn't agree with some PCs because I've had a similar issue with a new hair mesh causing my entire character to disappear. Maybe someone has a better answer though :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
