NMM not working, am I doing it wrong? - Fallout 4

[leftkidney]

OK so I have been modding games for many years and modded the hell out of Skyrim but that was using the manual method, now I tried the NMM for Fallout 4 and the only things I can gt to work are the enhanced textures and stars but the others I enable them and they just dont work, I even enable them in the plugins section and then I launch the game using the button on the top of NMM and they arent working when the games loads up - then I quit the game and all the plugins are turned off but I just turned them on

 

am I doing something wrong I really dont want to go back to the old manual method, I dont even know if that works I havent tried that yet either

 

 

any help would be great, thanks for your help

1. There are a couple of lines that must be added into the ini for mods to work - Once again Beth doing what they can to make it difficult for PC players

Check here: http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Fallout_4_Mod_Installation

I recommend checking Gopher's tutorial as well. :thumbsup:

 

2. The latest Beth update on steam turns off mods on purpose - it is a beta and they want to be sure it works before allowing mods. If you have opted in for the beta on Steam - turn it off and then run the verify game cache. Of course they don't tell you it will do this before you get the automatic update. :rolleyes:

I did read that before and did everything except for the validating or verifying the game part you mentioned, after doing that I had to re-edit those .ini files but then it started working

 

I think it was me having it set to beta because I was getting crashes and hoped that would fix it which it seemed to, although I havent had one now so I dont know - also the compas was all glitchy a common thing I guess for ati users and I installed that one fix that changes some file or whatever and now that works great and the game doesent crash when its not the beta version

 

I just did that and everything over again and it looks like its working now, the mods are working so I guess the thing I did wrong was not verifying the game after I turned off the beta feature

 

 

thanks for the help, sorry if this wasnt a question that should have been asked in a new topic but I did search for a while before posting, I always hate when I post and the fix is something so obvious I feel stupid cuz I mod games and things all the time but it seems like I overlook things once in a while
