LuisCarlosNobre Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Hi, I would like to say sorry for my English, I will try to explain myself. First of all, I'd like to say thanks for Nexus and for Vortex, you guys are amazing. So now, to my problem..Recently I decided to try mods for the first time in Fallout 4, I am a total noob at it, but after a lot of reading I managed to install a few mods, cbbe, scrap everything, unnoficial fallout4 patch,mod configuration menu, vivid fallout - landscapes, we are minutemen and 5 quest mods, all working with no problem. Now, I have been playing it for over a year, and already did all the quest mods, and was thinking in getting some more mods to continue having fun. I googled about it, and read somewhere that if the mod don't ask for a new save you could do it mid-game, so I went for it. I downloaded the mod "homemaker" with vortex the same way I did with the other mods, but after the download it gave me a note in red saying "Some saves couldn't be read", I clicked "show" and it showed me my last save from yesterday. It scared me a bit, so I closed vortex and opened fallout4 to see what happened. As I closed Vortex, it gave me a message saying that vortex was going to update and to not turn off my computer, after it asked for permission to update vortex, wich I gave, but then I saw nothing appeared on the screen. I waited a while, and thought "maybe the update is done" so I opened Vortex again just to check if the note was still there, and it was, so I closed it again, opened Fallout and loaded the last save. It loaded with no problem, but then I went to check and any of the mods were working! The quest mods locations weren't there anymore, I lost inventory and kit's radio, everything I guess.. I went back to vortex, I clicked in "restore save game plugins" many times and in all my saves and nothing happened. Then i checked the plugins and found out they were all disabled. I enabled them all, went back to restore the save game plugins, nothing happened, the message is still there and the game still just loads but without the mods. Did I ruin my game?I could countinue without the mods of course but it will not be the same.. Is there something I can do to recover the mods in that save game and put everything the way they were? I really hope you can help. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 First off, turn off automatic updates...and either change it to STABLE, or "No automatic Updates"That way you won't get random updates in the middle of doing something.It is advised, no matter what the Mod or the Mod Author claims, to NOT install or remove mods and expect your save game to continue working.You should always start a new save.It's possible that your Antivirus software blocked the Vortex update from proceeding.You should turn off your AntiVirus program and try to update Vortex again.

LuisCarlosNobre Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 Thanks! It worked, more or less.. now I have to start all the quest mods all over again... I'ts like they never happened. I had the updates on "stable" I guess I was unlucky somehow... So, you really don't recommend me to put any more mods, right? I should've chosen more mods in the beggining then. Again, thanks a lot!

You can add mods, but you should start a NEW game whenever you add or remove mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
