NaviOnRoids Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Hi I was hoping someone could help me. I recently got a new comptuer and picked up fo4 and immediately started installing mods, only a few graphics adons and gameplay tweaks and now after having to swap hardware and reinstall windows nmm tells me i have no fallout 4 ini even though its in documents>my games> fallout 4. I'd really appreciate anyones help on this. I've reinstalled nmm and fo4 mutiple times with no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royhr Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Try deleting the existing ini files and then run Fallout using the Fallout.exe at least one time. This will regenerate the ini files. Hopefully this will fix your problem. Then you can launch Fallout via NMM if that's what you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purr4me Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 did you launch it from steam? cuz that works every time...ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seekingthesun Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 delete all your ini files, and the fallout4 exe and launcher , then verify the file cache through steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGSpetsnaz Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) delete all your ini files, and the fallout4 exe and launcher , then verify the file cache through steam.I have the same problem, I highly doubt the problem has anything to do with steam or fallout 4 itself, since the files do exist. 99.99999999% sure that its NMM that's having issues. Verifying game does not help, neither does deleteing existing files and running the game to get new ones, ive tried multiple times. Also Steam is not reporting any issues with the game.

DaemonGrin Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 It's not just NMM I tried using FO4Edit today and it cannot locate the ini files either. FO4Edit 3.1.3 EXPERIMENTAL starting session 2016-04-21 17:08:30Using Fallout4 Data Path: Using ini: Fatal: Could not find ini Soooo, yeah....Fun stuff... Good luck,Geoff EDIT - Fixed the issue I had. Tried all the above methods didn't work until instead of deleting the ini's in my documents fallout 4 folder and the folder itself in another attempt, I changed it's name and launched through steam. Don't know why that worked but there are various folder bugs I've encountered on win7 before like not being able to delete one claiming it does not exist and having to use cmd to move it to desktop, rename it and delete, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted3507349User Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 It's a bug, all you need to do is create a file (even if it's empty) and save it as Fallout4Custom.ini in you documents folder along with Fallout4.ini and Fallout4Prefs.ini THAT"S the ini file that NMM is looking for that it can't find.

luttman23 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Thanks DigitalTrucker, I created a file called Fallout4Custom.ini in Documents\My Games\Fallout4\ and now it works perfectly! Edited April 22, 2016 by luttman23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
