So I needed to download a new version of F4SE, the updated one, and I wasn't paying attention when I typed it in really fast and clicked download and dragged all the files in Fallout 4's file. I think popped up saying that it had to overwrite over three hundred other files. I clicked yes because it was F4SE and than my Fallout 4 wouldn't open. Even the base game launcher wouldn't open, I remembered that the version of F4SE was old and not the correct one and when I went back on the website it was updated to the correct F4SE. I re-installed Fallout 4 and deleted all of the F4SE that I could find but it still didn't work. I than downloaded the newest version of F4SE and it still doesn't open. What happened?

Not sure how you expect anyone to know what happened except for yourself. Check the browser history of downloads to see what you downloaded, cause it sure aint F4SE.

First step, load up your Fallout 4 directory and make sure there's nothing there that doesn't belong. Then you can check the files with the following steps.

 

Load up your Steam.
Go to the library page.

Right click on Fallout 4.

Select properties.

Go to the 'local files' tab.

Press the verify integrity of local cache.

 

That should run a scan on your fallout 4 files to make sure none of them are corrupted. Then install F4SE carefully, making sure you follow the included readme instructions.

I think you probably had the "src" folder (which you don't need) already installed in your Fallout 4 folder from your previous install of F4SE. When you went to update to the latest version, you probably copied the "src" folder along with the other F4SE files which overwrote the original "src" folder. There are 215 files in the latest F4SE "src" folder. You can delete the "src" folder and all of it's contents - it is only useful to mod authors who need to use the script extender functions for their mods.
