TAWschyzo Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Hi guys I hope one of you can help me because I don't want to reinstall windows for just Fallout 4.I had some Vault 88 mods installed including one "straight to the water" and a "build ready"I geuss the combo of those 2 moved a bunch of assets like the teminal and such.this also created voids all over ( the white portals to hell )So I uninstalled those mods , no fix.I did a clean reinstall (game folder , appdata local folder and documents my games folder ) no fix,I did another clean reinstall on a different drive , no fix.No mods are loaded not even F4SE is installed it's should be 100% vanilla but it isnt.I uninstalled vault tech workshop DLC , and reinstalled it (hoping the vanilla assets would override ) no fix.I am getting pretty close to reinstalling windows because I searched everywhere and can't find a fix.Where can these files be comming from ? seeing as I deleted all 3 folders everytime.I just want to get back to a vanilla state to start working from there. Please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedgehogMods31 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Which mod manager are you using?I was using vortex , now I want to switch to mod organizer 2 after this whole thing are you trying to use a save file that once had the mod installed? if so, your save might be affected by the mod in some way, not fixable. when you uninstall a mod and then attempt to use a save file that once had it installed, it can cause problems like missing walls/objects/textures, as well as misplaced stuff.

HeyYou Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Does Vortex still show you have mods installed? I believe there is a button for 'purge all mods', which will effectively disable/uninstall all of them at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did try it with my current save but also when i made a new char it had the same issue ,,, weirdly enough i made a second windows profile and that does have a vanilla build so it must be something in my user settings eventho I removed |appdata\local\fallout4 and documents\mygames\fallout 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAWschyzo Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 *FIXED* okay don't know how but somehow I managed to fix it bare with me because maybe someone more tech savvy can figure out what makes my bumbling around tick.I uninstalled the game via steam (again)Removed the game folder (again)Removed the documents my games folder (again)Removed the appdata local game folder (again)Made a second windows account on my machine and switched to that.Toggled cloud save offInstalled the game on that account and started it up , consoled myself to level 20 outside of the vault and toggled map markers and put godmode on Went to Vault 88 and opened it no more portals to hell , all vanilla the way it would not on my main account.Went back to my main account started the game same console commands and voila i had a 100% vanilla vault 88 So I don't understand the reason but somehow me flailing around like a hooked fish repaired my vault 88Maybe someone can explain what I accidentally stumbled upon doing this.

HeyYou Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Maybe windows didn't really believe you when you deleted a few folders. :) Windows can be cranky like that on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
