Officially giving up on getting into this garbage mess. Couple times a year I would try to enjoy what I paid for but all this game is is a troubleshooting simulator. Nothing works right, and it turned me from the biggest Bethesda fan boy into somebody who won't give them another cent. f*#@ this PoS and f*#@ elder scrolls 6.

Now my Fallout version is out of date for F4SE. Previous version, and the version before that broken as well.

Just made sure me F4SE was most updated version but it still says it is out of date. I was playing FO4 this morning. What happened?

SE update did not do anything, and I knew it wouldn't. I've tried everything under the sun several times. I am not lucky like you guys and my Fallout 4 copy just requires more file reconfiguration than all of yours do, and I don't know how to reprogram games from the ground up, so I am left out. Bethesda games with mods were the only reason I have ever played video games, and it seems like they want to make mods a thing of the past, so its time to sell the gaming rig and buy a snowboard or something so I have something to do over winter. Thanks Jannifer and others for trying to help, but this game is just made very poorly.

Correctly manually installed sandbag fortifications, still invisible. Occasionally still get the message in NMM saying fallout ini files are incorrectly configured. This might be the sign that its time for me to retire from gaming. Modding for Skyrim and every game before it made sense, after enough research and effort, but this is just a chaotic nightmare with no end in sight. ONLY way to enjoy this game is to get at least a bachelors degree in computer sciences, since there is no way to pay an expert hundreds of dollars to get this product to function correctly. 4 days of more than 8 hours each day of troubleshooting, time to find a new hobby.

Same as MarkusTay I have been in the middle of troubleshooting, but I'm relieved it sounds like its not me who broke script extender. I think I have gotten the game working for the most part, after re configuring my ini files in every conceivable way for over over 3 days. The incorrect ini configuration message on NMM seems to have gone away, and my game doesn't crash when I start a new game, but old saves seem corrupted and do still crash. A new issue has come up since, and I was trying to figure it out before this update put everything on hold, but did not have any success resolving it. In the workshop menu (settlement building mode) objects added by "sandbag fortification mod" are listed, but there is no icon in the workshop menu, and they seem to have no mesh ("guard post" tab under "defenses" has no icon either, but displays [M] in the top right corner where icon should be). The name of the objects appear, and I can place them, it consumes resources, but they are not visible, and don't cause collision. My plugins are sorted using LOOT. Is there a better manual sorting method to sort plugins for FO4 than using LOOT?

So there was a FO4 update just now (Dec 5, 2018)? Just want to make sure if it was and update or me who broke my script extender, since I have been troubleshooting vigorously and doing a lot of reinstalling the past 4 days trying to get this game to run. Anyone have any idea when a SE update might be available?

Game is in an infinite cycle of updating the entire game. This is by the far the hardest game to play on Earth. Requires a PHD in computer sciences to play Fallout 4.

Thanks, I'll try some of that when I get home. I've tried verifying the game cache already. Hopefully not a corrupted save because I'm in too deep to start over.

I've had never ending issues with the script extender and the ini files for this game. Never been able to enjoy the game for longer than a day or so before it breaks again. Now it just freezes and crashes, with the same list of mods that I had the day before when I ran the game all day without problems. I also had a 24GB update for Fallout 4 on December 4, 2018 (total game file is 27GB) Does this have something to do with the issue? Anyone else get this update? I had reinstalled my game a couple of times while trying to get SE to work, which I managed to get that part to work, I think. I followed instructions to the letter on what to do with the ini files, always get a pop up from NMM saying its configured incorrectly. Tried installing Fallout 4 configurator, did not help, tried running beht.ini, and now the game won't even launch. I am reinstalling the game now. Can some one please tell me the CURRENT way to configure the ini files, and any other secret to get this game to actually run. I do 100x as much troubleshooting as I do actual shooting in this game. I will post my mod list when I get home from work, and have access to it.

I don't know how to navigate this site, I don't see a topic for Fallout 4. Can a mod just please move this thread there is there is a Fallout 4 section for this forum. I had to reinstall Fallout 4 because there was another update by Bethesda that broke the script extender yet again. I managed to reinstall Falllout 4 to get it to the latest version, and SE appears to be working now, but all my mod plugins are removed, although NMM says they are still installed they do not appear in the plugin menu. When I try to reinstall mods, the plugin text in the plugin menu is red. meaning it's not working. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have had NMM re-scan my games. I have edited Fallout4Defualt.ini (because I don't have "fallout4.ini" so I assume mine just has a different name), and edited fallout4prefs.ini as well. I would like to play Fallout 4 which I have never been able to since SE is always being obliterated by updates from Bethesda. I would be very grateful if anyone knows how fix this.

Tried searching online, but only working suggestion I found was to load a really old save which is not an option. Anyone know how to fix this? Have to post link, image too big. https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198032090393/screenshots

So my mods all still work. The plugins tab is all the same, but the mods tab is completely empty in the mod manager. Any way to restore it just for convenience sake? If not I'm just glad I don't have to reinstall everything, thank you.

So I have plenty of mods on it, and I still have my mods working in game for Skyrim. Now whenever I try to open up Nexus Mod Manager it starts automatically detecting games and only about 1/3 of the options that it previously had are there. (No Skyrim, no Fallout, and the list is just clearly missing most games it originally had.) Then after it searches it just says "no games found, NMM is closing now c ya," and I don't have the option to try and update my manager or anything. What can I do about this? If I uninstall the mod manager will I lose all my mods and have to start from scratch?

Normally I wouldn't install a mod like this cause I know it just has destruction written all over it, but I did anyways for some reason. Downloaded FNIS, the always one and the spells one.. Made no difference, but didn't break anything. Downloaded the xp32 animation pack, now my character has no movement and is just a floating mannequin. Unistalled mods, still broken. No plugins to turn off or on. Verified game cache on steam. Uninstalled every single mod I own, no matter how irrelevent to the problem. Still a floating mannequin. Is there a mod that cleans up and restores the game after people get tricked into downloading this crap?
