HadToRegister Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 OK, navigate to your G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data folderAre the mods, and esps, esms, and Ba2, or BSA files in your Data folder?If not, something is preventing the hardlink from being made from the Mod Staging Folder, to your Data folder.OH!!!! Check the File System on the SSD drive!! If it's anything other than NTFS then Hardlinks won't work.So if it's Fat32 etc, Links won't work, it needs to be reformatted to NTFS, and for some reason it seems that SSD drives are Fat32 by default, at least that's what's happened when other people have had this problem when using an SSD drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well damn, that's all I have. Click the Bell Icon in Vortex, are there any warnings you've missed? If the same files are showing up in the DATA directory, that are also in the Mod Staging Folder then they should definitely be showing up in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a ton for trying regardless and for the quick responses, I'll see if I can think of anything else that might resolve my issue. Will try and remember to report back if I manage to fix it.

luigistyle Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 Fixed it!! For some reason, my FO4 in Vortex was on an alternate profile that wasn't Default, with the options for both having its own savegames and settings ticked. I created the Default profile, made sure both settings were unticked, then I transferred my mods to said profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that was weird, but gives me one extra thing to ask people who are having problems. Thanks for coming back and describing what the problem actually was, it will definitely help people who are having the same problem, instead of the dreaded "NVM, Fixed It" that a lot of people do.
