[GUIDE] F4SE & Steam compatibility

[Deleted2282112User]

How to get F4SE to run from steam:

Rename Fallout4Launcher to Fallout4Launcher_backup
Make a copy of f4se_loader and rename it to Fallout4Launcher

Game will now launch with F4SE from steam and will work with overlay+achievements+gametime.

 

Have fun!

Some mods use F4SE, such as

Or pherhaps you could just "Add non steam game" and select f4se_loader.exe then name it "Fallout 4 with F4SE" or something if you want to start it from steam...

That way the .exe file will work even after game updates.

Sorry to revive an old topic, but I can't find the answer elsewhere. I've tried doing this, but I get a "You have renamed F4SE_loader and not specified the name of the runtime" Error. How do I fix this?

 

*EDIT*

 

Never mind, I fixed it. I accidentally renamed Fallout4.exe instead of Fallout4Launcher.exe. My bad.

Sorry to Revive this but you can also
1) Go to your Fallout 4 folder, which most likely is -"C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\Steamapps\Common\Fallout4\"
2) Rename the Fallout4.exe to F4.exe
3) Rename f4se_loader.exe to Fallout4.exe
4) Go to \data\f4se\ - if the f4se folder doesn't exist, create it.
5) Make a file called f4se.ini and write this in it

[Loader]
RuntimeName=F4.exe

6) Save file
7) Start Fallout 4 via steam and hit Play
