MadeUpName92 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) Vortex is up to date. Modding Fallout 4. I enabled use profiles. I created a new profile for FO4 I turned on both "This profile has its own save games" and "This profile uses its own settings". Mods are working fine, savegames are working as intended but.... Where are the seperate games settings for this profile? I need to use a different Fallout4.ini and FalloutPrefs.ini for each profile. I thought that's what "This profile uses its own settings" would let me do, did I misunderstand what that option does?

showler Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 If I'm recalling correctly your settings are stored in a backup file and then copied into the two INI files every time you switch to the profile. So, if you edit the INIs, then switch profiles and edit the INIs again, it should preserve your edits as you switch back and forth in the future.

Community Manager Solution Pickysaurus Posted April 10 Community Manager Solution Share Posted April 10 Within Vortex's AppData folder, a partial INI is stored for each profile that is merged into the one for the game when the profile is selected. Any changes made to the INI while this profile is active get merged back into the partial INI and the changes are reverted when you swap out of that profile.

I did not check the 2 boxes on the default profile before switching to the second one. Do I need to do that to make this work?

Community Manager Pickysaurus Posted April 10 Community Manager Share Posted April 10 This only happens if you enable profile specific game settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadeUpName92 Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 I can now swap back and forth between Fallout 4 and Fallout London just by changing profiles. I did a fresh install of FO4 (GoG version 163) and vortex then installed all my mods and played a little to create a save and make sure it all worked. Then I created, not cloned, a new profile for FO4 then switched to it and enabled and added mods I use for FOL. (I turned on both "This profile has its own save games" and "This profile uses its own settings" for both profiles) (Following the FOLON guide, I created a FOL mod file by simply by archiving the FOL data folder)(I used winrar) Then I replaced the Fallout4.ini and FalloutPrefs.ini with the ones from FOL while that profile was active.
