Where's appdata? Must be in a different place in Windows 7 Can't find plugins.txt either.

Thanks Morgan. I should have read all of the 379 posts. lol

appdata is exactly where described by bben46. On my computer it is in C:\users\Administrator\Appdata\Local\Fallout4\

Inside this folder I currently have:

DLCList.txt

Plugins.fo4viewsettings
plugins.nmm.bak

A quick question regarding nmm disabling mods - I know nmm disables all of our mods when the new update is initially added, it happened to me too and I used my 'import load order' to set it straight, but does the problem of nmm re-disabling mods happen after installing any new mods? or is it happening to players regardless of not adding new mods since this update rolled out?

 

Hopefully my question makes sense.

 

I am asking because I haven't had this happen to me yet, but I have not yet added new mods via nmm since this fiasco began, and am incredibly reluctant to do so for that reason.

 

Could someone clarify this so that I can keep adding mods, or so I can know to keep waiting. Cheers!

Anyone else notice that the number of images being uploaded has dropped significantly from the regular pace with the update? Everyone is too busy trying to overcome this hurtle to have fun and play the game and take SSs! XD

Just to help, on my system Windows 10 automatically undoes the changes for whatever reason even after saving. Once you asterisk the plugin names, save, close and reopen to make sure it stays.

I have to copy the file, make the changes, then overwrite the original file for the changes to stick. I'm not sure of the root cause. I've had odd problems with win10 since it launched. It also borks the NMM config file on me every time win10 updates so I have to go in and delete that just to get NMM to open. NMM makes a new one when you delete it.

I installed a mod and that immediately caused NMM to disable everything, not sure if anyone else is having this problem.

Question to bben46,

NMM has prompted me every time if I would like to allow it to set the file to r/w instead of read only while NMM is active. I haven't verified that it actually works because I've been manually managing the plugin.txt file. Is that a beta option that doesn't work yet? I'm asking due to your post.
