Nexus MM .ini issue

[vipasoft]

Can anyone help.

 

Just recently, I did my usual backing up of my Fallout 4 ini files, (basically just copied the file to a different location). But since doing that, I keep getting a message everytime I start NMM stating;

 

----

You have no Fallout 4 INI file. Please run Fallout 4 to initialize the file

before installing any mods or turning on Archive Invalidation.

----

 

I click on OK and can launch Fallout 4 with the Launch F4SE and the game runs fine.

 

Any idea what could be causing this.

 

Thanks in advance.

hi i just installed the mod manager on a new pc and a fresh install of fallout 4 and am getting the same problem

Think I may have sorted it.

 

There is/was a folder in my Documents\MY GAMES\Fallout4 folder called backupcfgs....

 

In there was a copy of the Fallout4Custom.ini file. I just copy/pasted it into the Fallout4 directory as no more missing INI warning....

I was having a different issue. When trying to enable my very first mod ever, I got a warning telling me that sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, TEXTURES\ was causing long loading times in the original Fallout4.ini file. Having read a majority of the mods, I needed to add ", TEXTURES\ " to that line. So I was a little puzzled after reading that.

 

Then I found a little .ini file tucked away that was overlooked by me. It was: Fallout4_Default.ini. Opened it up with Notepad++, and was not surprised to see that the same line was missing the "textures" word that I had to add.

 

Worked like a charm, re-enabled that first mod and no pop up warning. Still don't know how the game will react though, because I have yet to ever run FO4 on this brand new PC. I always played it on my XB1, and up until recently, I never had a PC powerful enough to run "Open World" games.

 

So, it's a wait and see.
