Averam Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Last thing I tried was, starting a new game, in case that my current were corrupted or something.... but still... no matter which one I load, the issue is the same... not a single mod loaded. At least I´m not having CTD´s... Fallout does´t know about the mods... we have to tell him... (OK I'm going psycho here) I will try copying that .ini from my game to the steam folder....

steve40 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I discovered that there is a second Fallout4Prefs.ini file under Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout4\Fallout4. I don't know why. This one had slightly less text in it. I renamed it to .bak in order to keep it and then copied the version from My Games. This is the default ("safe") settings file. You should leave it alone. If ever your settings in your "My Games\Fallout 4" folder should be accidentally deleted, the system falls back to safe settings by copying the ini files from the steamapps folder to the My games folder.

steve40 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I discovered that my Fallou4.ini kept on reverting to one without the needed additional text, despite it not being read only. Um, well the ini files in your "My Games\Fallout 4" folder need to be made read-only if you don't want these settings to be modified by the game launcher or game settings menu. Also, you should find your plugins.txt file and make it read-only. The game launcher has a nasty habit of automatically removing all your mods from plugins.txt behind your back.

If I find some patience to try again I shall make those changes. My latest is that I loaded a slightly earlier save game and my CTD problem is gone but I'm back to no mods showing up. Oh and FO4Edit only shows a few "Unused data" warnings, nothing apparently game-breaking. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
