Mods not working.

[xeoneex]

I installed several mods just a few minutes ago, infinite followers, craftable fusion cores, infinite ammo on companions etc... None of them are working.

Are you using the newest version of the game or the Survival Beta? I haven't been home yet today but I'm told the newest version changed the way you activate mods.

 

1) Install your mods with Nexus Mod Manager
2) Close your mod manager.
3) Find "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Skyrim\plugins.txt", right click > properties > uncheck "read only"

4) Open "plugins.txt"
5) Add an asterisk before all .esp mods.

Your plugins.txt list should look something like
Fallout4.esm
DLCrobots.esm
*Console-enable.esp

*Coolmod.esp
(you may place any other .esp here with an * before it, .esm should NOT have an *)

6) Save "plugins.txt"
7) Find "plugins.txt", right click > properties > check "read only"
:cool: Load FO4 WITH THE VANILLA GAME LAUNCHER NOT NMM.

You must then repeat this process every time you make any changes to your mod list or open Nexus Mod Manager. Yes, every time. It's annoying but until they updated NMM this is how you must do it.

skyrim?? I see no plugins.txt in the fallout 4 folder

[xeoneex]

Ok, I'm an idiot I was looking in my steam games folder not my user appdata folder.

 

The text file looks like this:

 

Fallout4.esm

DLCRobot.esm

DLCworkshop01.esm

Companion Infinite Ammo and Unbreakable Power Armour.esm

FusionCoreCrafting.esp

UnlimitedFollowers.esp

No Fusion Core Drain.esp

Companion Infinite Ammo.esp

[xeoneex]

ok well all the mods work minus the unlimited followers :/

[Fatalmasterpiece]

Sorry my bad, I copied that text from a skyrim page. It's the same exact thing just, fallout 4 instead of Skyrim >_<

[xeoneex]

ok the unlimited ammo for companions isn't working now. this is all a mess

[xeoneex]

Ok, now my game won't load a save at all, no mods installed :/.

This just resolved my issue! I thought the latest DLC had screwed up the mod load order permanently. This trick with the asterisk worked and I can load my saves again. Thanks!
