I bought Fallout 4 via Steam and have been playing for 50+ hours now, but decided to get some mods (mainly because i hit the maximum on objects in my settlement). So i installed NMM followed the instructions given by the official site (changing Fallout4.ini and Fallout4Prefs.ini located in mygames/Fallout4 and tried to run NMM. Setting it up was no problem, but when i tried to run NMM specific for Fallout 4 I got the error message regarding a missing ini file and the request to run Fallout4 to initialize the file, which i did countless times before that.

After looking for possible solutions and trying them out (deleting ini's, re-installing NMM), I came to the point where I tried everything (I found), but nothing succeeded.

 

I tried ignoring the error messages and installed some Mods (Full Dialoge Interface and Unlimited Settlement Objects). The Full Dialog Interface got installed/enabled somewhat successfully, but the Unlimited Settlement Objects installation got stopped by an unkown error (Both mods got the "Unable to retrieve data from ini files, please report this issue on the NMM forums. To use Fallout 4 mods you are REQUIRED to make some necessarry ini edits (Fallout4Prefs.ini), please follow this video guide if you didn't yet: http://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Fallout_4_Mod_Installation").

Of course, just thought those screenshots would be enough (displaying the important parts of both ini's [as far as i know])

I've checked multiple times and it always saved my changes (and I've checked the settings of both ini's and they were not read only), only after I told steam to look for errors (which reset the fallout4pref.ini [the single added line got deleted]). Besides that NMM can't be run in non-admin mode for me.

 

As far as I know the only thing I didn't Try is completely re-installing the game, which would take quite some time as I'd have to download it again with a somewhat slow connection. But yeah, probably have to do that tomorrow.

Or I'll try downloading the mods with NMM first and install them (workes with Full Interface Dialog and nodotdot, although i got the error messages nonetheless) and if it doesn't work that way (for example: Unlimited Settlement Objects) I'll install them manually.

 

Edit: I've downloaded 7 different mods until now and 6 out of 7 got installed properly (although i got the error message) and the last one i installed manually, so i guess i can live with that.

 

Thank you very much for your help nonetheless :smile:

 

Edit Edit: Alright so i re-installed Fallout 4 completly, NMM got updated during that time and i ran Fallout on my admin account and i guess that (especially the last one I think) did the trick and now everythings working properly [Just in case someone has the same problem as I did]
