Mods are either not working, or the game crashes

[Luzarioth]

Hi,

 

ive tried to install e few mods, like easy hacking (bullshit mini game-.-).
If i neither set my plugins to read-only nor add the bEnableFileSelection=1 in the Fallout4prefabs, the game runs but without the mods.
As soon as i do one of those things, even with no mods and a clean install, the game crashes in the main menu, without an error, like Skyrim did when something went wrong with mods.

Can someone help me ?^^

Go to the main ini in your documents/mygame/fallout 4 and edit the line with sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, TEXTURES\, MUSIC\, SOUND\, INTERFACE\, MESHES\, PROGRAMS\, MATERIALS\, LODSETTINGS\, VIS\, MISC\, SCRIPTS\, SHADERSFX\

 

Now go to your pref ini in the same my game/fallout 4 folder and go all the way down until you see [Launcher]. Under that, place the code bEnableFileSelection=1 After that, make sure you save the ini that way and mark them as read only.

 

Now this is the step I messed up. In order to install mods you have to create folders in the data folder. ​Mine go as follows (interface, meshes, sound and textures). Video and strings should already be there. Next follow the mod instructions carefully. I downloaded the black and white pip boy mod for example. it gave me a folder that said textures, but I already made a texture folder so I opened the texture folder the mod gave me and another folder popped up I moved that folder to my texture folder under data and it worked.

 

Ive been looking for answers all day yesterday and I finally found out. hope this helps!​

I'm having a similar problem, the ESP based mods are working, but any "loose file" mods, like music or textures are not. I've been installing mods with a vengeance since Oblivion, so I am very familiar with mods, but it just isn't working. I have modified the INI files as specified, but nothing is appearing in game. I've tried it without any ESP mods in case that was causing the issue, but no difference. I tried running the FO4 exe as administrator and compatibility mode for Win 7, but then it gets caught in an endless loading loop where it just runs the launcher over and over again. removing the compatibility setting fixes this. It makes no difference whether I run the exe directly or via steam, so I am at a loss.
