jimmygitto Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 If someone could help me I would be very appreciative. I started the game (a few hours after playing it last), and when I tried to load my last save, a message came up saying it depended on mods that were no longer available, and listed .esp files. And esm's, I think. There were a few, but also a "..." showing there were more. I reinstalled the first mods listed, and sure enough the same thing happened and there were more.Maybe I shouldn't have reacted so quickly, but I went through and reinstalled all my mods. I have a lot. And now when I try to load any save, it crashes to desktop, with the message Fallout has stopped working. What happened?? Any ideas?

Any ideas?One thing to try is to go to "This PC>Documents>My Games" and right click on Fallout 4 and choose "properties". On the "General" page, uncheck the box for "Read-Only" and "YES" for all of the files/folders in that game folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolf214 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Make sure all mods are listed in the plugins.txt. It's located at c:\users\yourname\AppData\Fallout4\plugins.txt; this file contains a list of all mods that you currently have installed. I had to make my plugins.txt file read-only. Just disabling them and re-enabling them in nexus wil make the plugins.txt file complete. But they may disappear again. But, if you have a huge list like I do, I just copy the DLClist into the plugins list. If I recall you don't copy the Robots.esm to the new list. Make the file Read-only when done. Then you load up the current save game. If issues persist, you may have to go back a few saves, to fix the error. Do note If you do make the plugins text file Read-only, it cannot be changed by Nexus, therefore not completely installed. Uncheck it when installing another mod. I also saw that if you opted-in the Survival Beta, Mod functionality is disabled and cannot be useed. Edited April 4, 2016 by Lonewolf214 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmygitto Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. First thing I did was make sure I was not open to the beta, which I wasn't. Then I went back and looked at the plugins.ini as suggested, and I think it had gotten over-written. I reinstalled the mods, and went back a few saves, and got the game to run again, to my great relief. But I was still getting weird glitches, missing objects and ctd's. Ultimately I downloaded LOOT and based on it's results, went through and reordered my esp's. I got it to run, but had an oddball crash. I figured out it was when I went to one weapon (from a mod) in my inventory, so I reloaded that mod. SSo far, things seem to be working. Fingers crossed. Also I learned quite a bit about these processes (I think).I must say I am nervous to update the game or to even buy the DLC at this point... I am so happy with the progress I've made, the kit I have, and the home I've built in game, I don't want to lose it again!! Again, thank both of you for your help, I do really really appreciate it.
