xeoneex Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 I installed several mods just a few minutes ago, infinite followers, craftable fusion cores, infinite ammo on companions etc... None of them are working.
Fatalmasterpiece Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 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 Manager2) 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 likeFallout4.esmDLCrobots.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.
xeoneex Posted April 18, 2016 Author Posted April 18, 2016 Ok I was on beta - survival, I turned that off, some mods worked the unilimited compaion mod does not.
xeoneex Posted April 18, 2016 Author Posted April 18, 2016 wait skyrim??? 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 Manager2) 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. skyrim?? I see no plugins.txt in the fallout 4 folder
xeoneex Posted April 18, 2016 Author Posted April 18, 2016 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.esmDLCRobot.esmDLCworkshop01.esmCompanion Infinite Ammo and Unbreakable Power Armour.esmFusionCoreCrafting.espUnlimitedFollowers.espNo Fusion Core Drain.espCompanion Infinite Ammo.esp
xeoneex Posted April 18, 2016 Author Posted April 18, 2016 ok well all the mods work minus the unlimited followers :/
Fatalmasterpiece Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Sorry my bad, I copied that text from a skyrim page. It's the same exact thing just, fallout 4 instead of Skyrim >_<
xeoneex Posted April 18, 2016 Author Posted April 18, 2016 ok the unlimited ammo for companions isn't working now. this is all a mess
xeoneex Posted April 18, 2016 Author Posted April 18, 2016 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!
