Azworai Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Sorry for the overly simplistic question, I haven't fiddled with Fallout 4 for a bit, and I had heard enabling FO4 modding had been changed since I had been modding due to the upcoming DLC. As I want to play said DLC, I wanted to check. What steps should I take to ensure my Fallout 4 plays properly and can be modded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit1251 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) I'm not quite sure what you mean so I'll just relate my experiences. You are probably referring to the ini changes that are necessary for using fan based mods from the Nexus. You have done that; yes, no? This only enables most posted online at fan sites like this one. Any changes for Official DLC's would have come from a Steam update and I am not aware of any although there probably might have been. I have not done anything unusual to my game for preparation and this morning Steam downloaded and installed the Automatron DLC to my game and made it available for use. If you have all of the Steam game updates you should be 'good to go', as they say. Regards, The Rabbit Edited March 22, 2016 by Rabbit 51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azworai Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 I did that, but I'd heard that bethesda broke mod support briefly requiring some other change to be used, which I wasn't familiar with when they updated to prepare for Automatron's release...

Rabbit1251 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) I hadn't heard that mentioned. But if so it was most likely fixed by now with an update. Rabbit Edited March 22, 2016 by Rabbit 51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azworai Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 So, if I had mods running before, it should still be enabled? That said, mods that affect the settlement/building stuff are the most likely to bug from the DLC, yes? This is my current plugin list; Any obvious redflags?

Rabbit1251 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I don't know, as yet, what it might affect as I've not had a chance to play it. I intend to just jump in a trust in the Immortal Fates. Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azworai Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 I followed the instructions to enable modding(the new ones). I don't seem to have access to the mod launcher within FO4. Is this intended, or is this a sign things are broken on my end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit1251 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I did not experience that problem. Were you following the instructions here: http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Fallout_4_Mod_Installation Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobben82 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Rabbit. I have also followed the steppes from the site you linked to, but every time i start up the game, the game changes the "Fallout4Custom.ini" back to its original state and also resetting the ini files back to "read only". Am i missing something or is there someone else having to problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
