ok good now reinstall from steam.

then when you have the game reinstalled go to Vortext and step by step add some mods.

Your savegames may not open (crash) unless most of your mods are renabled but that is trial and error.

Three folders you wanna nuke. The one in My Games, (back up your saves, if you want to keep them) the install folder, which you appear to have already gotten, and the one in C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Fallout4.... (nuke the folder, or just the contents, I don't think it matters.) Restart, then reinstall the game. Fire it off at least one, to make sure the game will start and run. (and properly detects your hardware.)
