For some reason, Fallout 4 won't open.

For some reason, Fallout 4 won't start either by steam, or even vortex.

 

I think it's because when I installed Mod Organizer 2 , or MO2

and then deleted it because I didn't need it, it didn't open.

 

Even if I put New Vegas, it won't let me use Fallout 4 by F4SE , as like said at the start, it won't work.

It's probably something with uhm "handle", it just won't let me.

 

so uh yeah, can anybody help me?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(also, I am kinda new on the "forums," not completly although.

Re-verify the Fallout 4 game files with your Steam client. If the original game files are messed up, it will prevent the game from launching. If Steam finds missing files it will try to re-install them. Don't try to launch the game until this process is completed. The same goes for New Vegas if you want to play that game with mods as well.

 

Don't use F4SE with Fallout New Vegas. F4SE is made for Fallout 4 not New Vegas. They are different games that use different game engines. New Vegas has its own script extender you can add if you want to play a modified version of that game.

 

Did you successfully launch each game (Fallout 4 and New Vegas) from Steam before using MO2 or Vortex to add mods to them? Don't mess with mods until you have the vanilla game launching properly from the Steam client.

 

You could also have errors in your Vortex set up. Read the Vortex Knowledgebase to verify if you have installed Vortex correctly -- with special attention to how to launch games that use script extenders. YouTube has videos showing how to install Vortex and MO2 so they will work with your games. I recommend the videos made by Gamer Poets.

 

While many players are eager to start modding their games (I know I was), it does require a bit of study to get started correctly. Don't give up.

I didn't mean to say i used F4SE for New Vegas.

Also, can you simplify your answer, it's a bit hard to understand, sorry.


my story, in a simple way:

 

I was going back home from a trip, after that I wanted to download MO2, and I did.

I set up New Vegas, and I played.

 

I was bored, so I uninstalled the mod manager, then wanted to play fallout 4, and it didn't work, even if I didn't put it.

 

It's probably something with the game.

Could you say what the issue was and say how you fixed it because I’m having the same problem.
