sStartingConsoleCommand= not working

[zalama317]

my starfieldcustom.ini seems to do everything except load my bat files. could someone please tell me why not and how to fix it?

 

sStartingConsoleCommand=bat LockpickCheat;bat InstantScan;bat ISD5;bat IHR3;bat ImprovedCombatAI;bat NoXPKillStealFix;bat ISLD3;bat wait;bat SMPOI;bat ExpandedExperience;bat ExpandedExperienceActions;bat LessHeinousLeveling;bat BetterBoostpackFlight;bat ImmersivePlanets;bat MrGebaPlanetSites

 

 

 

this is what it looks like now. Do I need a ; to close it? The entire mess if it matters. Wall of text warning >>

EDIT: I can use the (~ bat myfilename) in game and they load just fine so I have everything in the right folders I believe. Just won't load when I start the game.

[HeyYou]

It seems that sStaringConsoleCommands may have some issues. Instead of loading a whole bunch of little commands, create ONE file, and copy/paste the commands from all the little files into it. I use this particular method, and it works perfectly.

[Tahrngarth]

Ow yea, instead of using bat 1 ; bat 2 just move all the commands into the same txt file and use sStartingConsoleCommand=bat "name of the txt file"
You don't need to distinguish between the commands ingame anyways, since it's started automatically

full guide actually in this forum : [Guide] How to properly merge mods - (Fixes bat files / sStartingConsoleCommand not always working)
