Where do you get fallout4.custom.ini from?

It is not showing up in my game, and as a result, my weather mod is showing blocky rain.

Just replied to another post about a missing Fallout4Custom.ini. Here is what I posted there if you did not see it already...

 

Being missing for some reason is pretty common. Just create a text document and name it Fallout4Custom. Then change the extension from .txt to .ini. Then add whatever edits to the document that you require.

That file is automatically created the first time you start the game using the Steam launcher - If you don't start the first time using the Steam launcher it cannot create the file. Without that latest version from Steam, AND the ini, you are going to have problems playing the game or using mods because they rely on the ini AND the latest updates being there. Even if you bought a DVD from some legitimate source you still need to register your game through Steam to get the updates they left off of the DVD and allow it to create the custom ini that is based on the hardware it finds in your computer. Skyrim is a Steam exclusive game - that means you DO need steam or you will not be able to play properly.

 

After you start the game the first time with Steam, make a save. Then you can use whatever launcher you prefer.
