bben46 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 The first time you start the game it checks your hardware and creates the ini file based on what it finds. The game should work then. The ini changes needed to get NMM to work are not going to cause problems as they are NOT based on any specific hardware. They are just a few changes to YOUR ini, not a complete ini replacementThe problem comes from some modder claiming he has the perfect ini for the game and saying just download his ini and replace your ini with it. These people really have no clue that the ini is not the same for everyone. There are two ini files BOTH must have the proper changes and they are different for each one. Be sure to save the file after editing it Here are the insrtructions from the link How to enable moddingNavigate to your Fallout 4 Folder at the following location "Documents/My Games/Fallout 4" Within this folder will be a number of .ini files, highlight "Fallout4Prefs.ini" and "Fallout4.ini". Right Click, select Properties and ensure that these are NOT marked as read only. Open Fallout4Prefs.ini with your favourite text editor (we use Notepad++). - ANY Text editor will work, including the notepad built into Windows Navigate to the very bottom and you will see the line [Launcher]. Directly underneath this, copy the following text: bEnableFileSelection=1 Save and Close Open Fallout4.ini with your favourite text editor. Find the line that reads: sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\ Replace this with the following text: Pay attention to punctuation, spelling and spaces as if you get anything wrong it will not work. easiest way is to copy from here and paste to the ini file sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, TEXTURES\, MUSIC\, SOUND\, INTERFACE\, MESHES\, PROGRAMS\, MATERIALS\, LODSETTINGS\, VIS\, MISC\, SCRIPTS\, SHADERSFX\ Save and close...You're ready to get modding :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrithionLoren Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 How do I install NMM WITHOUT having to use profiling system? I use only one mod build and don't want to have to reinstall all mods which could lead to unneeded problems just so I'd use only one profile. It's an unrequired feature for me and I don't want to do that step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing I have done, including verifying files and starting from scratch will allow the game to work. Uninstalling NMM however will let the game load just fine only after I verify game files.garikmoespeaker wrote: I am having a nearly identical issue.Same here.
