Looks Menu F4SE

[kjacphoto]

For the love of all things, I can not get this to work. After weeks of trying I had a glimmer of hope yesterday, and actually had it working for one game session. Constant grayed out presets tab. Then Looks Menu mod will not be activated on next game session. I have scoured forums, and youtube. Updated, reloaded, manually installed, installed with Vortex, and did both. Removed any conflicting mods. Game versions match, no left overs from former F4SE files, Preset folder is in place. I have run F4SE from Vortex, and from Desktop, as administrator and as not. Why oh why is this so hard to make work!!

Looking for any suggestions please!

Yikes that's rough. It does sound like you've covered all the bases if you've done a fresh install and launched via F4SE. It's odd that it didn't even want to work when you dropped everything manually.

Only thought I got is that maybe something corrupted? And I have seen disclaimers on mods that vortex sometimes doesn't play nice. Personally I use MO2 so I am unfamiliar with all of Vortex's quirks.

 

So as a last hail mary:

uninstall

Go into your folders and make sure everything is gone.

Empty Recycle Bin for good measure.

Reinstall

Verify game files (in case of corruption)

 

Launch the game once to let it create the .ini files, etc

 

Then either 1) make another attempt manually or 2) Test it out with a different mod manager [ I'd do this to preserve your fresh install ]

 

Either road you take, reinstall F4SE

Get a fresh copy of the mod downloaded, install

 

Honestly I can remember a time way back when I had a similar issue when I tried out the Ladies of Legend presets. I installed the mod in MO2 but then I also copied the F4SE folder into my base game itself in a final attempt to make it work and it did. I don't have it that way now though. It was a long time ago and I can't really say what fixed it other than the various updates and fresh install since then. It's been at least a year.

 

I hope it works out. Good luck friend!
