Content No Longer Available, After Mod Updates

[OlrunZaal]

Ugh, after updating some mods and attempting to download beta 1.3, I received the error, "This save relies on content that is no longer present. Some objects may no longer be available. Continue loading?" I realize I should have updated files/beta/mods independently and sorely regret not do so as trouble prevention 101.

 

Next, I went into Steam and deselected the beta.

 

Then, I removed all the new mods from today/yesterday and reversed the updated (from 1/18/2016 PST) mods:

Armorsmith Extended

Armor Keywords Community Resource

Crafting Workbenches

 

Still, no fix and I was missing crafting categories from either Homemaker or Snap n' Build depending on load order.

 

The forums seemed to indicate a great many problems with the new updates and mine was one - jumbled items in wrong categories or completely missing categories on armor or building menus, so I reverted the mods to pre-Hades, I have lost my gaming marbles. I, then reverted the load order as best I could remember, but no luck for full gaming green light.

 

I do not have LOOT installed, yet. (Seems LOOT is just basic functions, currently.) Plenty of SSD space and no conflicts or problems outside of the game. I am stuck and rather new to the modding scene. This is my first mod community and the only game I have modded, recently. Any help would be great appreciated!

 

I thought I had saved a working loadout and mod plugins copy thru Nexus Mod Manager, but could not find it. Is there a way to save one's last working mod loadout and link the working mods thru Nexus? If not, how should I do so manually? Copying the FO4 Data file constantly would be a pain (have a non-mod copy, just in case).

Thanks again for any help. Please shed some light on this up level minor virtual gaming Hades.

[OlrunZaal]

Anyone have any ideas or should I just play on and save over the missing content?

 

Can someone please help me with the backup question? Wiki is out of date and refers to version .60, although it does say NMM will automatically backup and restore my backup file. As I mentioned, this did not happen. I tried to restore the good load from NMM-->tools-->restore backup profile, yesterday morning, and get

 

"... Backup_DONOTDELETE.zip does not exist"!

 

I also cannot find anywhere to enable the function.

 

It would be very nice if there was a NMM function to save a working mod loadout profile and its mods (or at, at least link them on the Nexus website).

 

If there is no help on my exact problem will someone tell me how to enable profile backups in NMM, please?

Significant changes were made to:

Armorsmith Extended

Armor Keywords Community Resource

Crafting Workbenches

 

The changes basically are an attempt to unify the 3 together to decrease the chances of the categories keyword limitation scrambling the crafting categories in the workbench menus. So Armor Keywords Community Resource expanded to be like Settlement Keywords for the workbenches in Armorsmith and Crafting Workbenches. (The the Junk and Ammo workbenches still use custom keywords fo the categories. The weapon and armor workbench from Crafting Workbenches is replaced by the Armorsmith and Weaponsmith workbenches from Armorsmith Extended. )

 

Do I know how to save and restore a working loadout? No, sorry I usually just backup the loadorder.txt and plugins.txt in C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Fallout4. (Nmm does make a lloadorder.nmm.bak and plugins.nmm.bak in this directory.)

 

I found out today having Armorkeywords.esm loaded before Homemaker would cause some Homemaker categories not to show.

There has been some talk about issues with the Homemaker -SK patch inside the posts on the mod.

 

Do have the Settlement Keywords compatibility patch for Robot Home Defence? If you don't that could be part of your issue.

Maybe the Homemaker - SK-SnB Patch.esp needs to be under Snap and Build - Modules.esp?

 

This is my current loadorder (skmerge0.6.esp is my custom compatibilty patch.):

My suggestions:

1. Install Loot and see if it helps.

2. Disable all your mods if Loot does not work.

3. Renable them one at a time (starting with the settlement building mods that add categories like Homemaker) and starting Fallout 4 each time to see if categories vanish. (This will help narrow down the conflciting mods.)

4. Work with your loadorder to see if you resolve the issue.

 

Mods that just add items to vanilla categories I think should not cause an issue.

 

Hopefully it helps to get you in the right direction.

I really appreciate the help and reply. The SK SnB patch is supposed to come before SnB.esp. The problem with disappearing categories was the order of AKCR (now last in .esm). I read LOOT didn't have any real functionality, yet. I will still give it a try. Its frustrating the NMM doesn't have a feature enabled that their wiki says is automatic. I have since started to copy the .txt files you mentioned and found a mod that backs up the order and mods that I may eventually try out. I was unaware Homemaker was not fully compatible with SK... probably causing some category confusion, along with some other mods. I am getting a ton of stray posters in Robot Home Defence and a few strays in other menus.

 

I looked up a tutorial on using FO4Edit to determine and patch conflicts, so looks like that and maybe my own radio will be my first foray into modding. Thanks for your help, again. Nice to know someone took their time to reply and offer fixes.
