Bethesda ruined my save file

[antiquatedCreator]

So I load up Fallout 4 today to discover the Sole Survivor I spent hours sculpting the face of and weeks playing has been turned into a bald, naked, eyeless demon and literally every one of my mods were broken. Using the NMM, I've reinstalled mods, updated them all, and made sure they were all active. None of them work except the graphics mods and CBBE. Literally nothing else works. Despite me having the Tron Suit mod in my game, the game doesn't even register it's there.

 

> help "TronSuit" 4

 

No results.

 

Bethesda has destroyed my game. My thoughts on this new update?

If ANYONE can help me restore balance to my game and revive my lovely Sole Survivor, I would be so appreciatory.

Trying going to:

 

%localappdata%\Fallout4

 

And nuke Plugins.txt and DLCList.txt. Renable your mods and see if it still loads.

Like a lot of old timers I kind of knew what was coming so I decided to mod this game manually until things settle down.

I can react more quickly managing a few text files than the NMM team can write code & beta test.

Also if you mod manually you learn a lot more about where things go & how things work. It is also a lot easier to troubleshoot problems.

 

With the resent update all I had to do it add a star "*" in front of the mod names & all worked fine. I new I needed to do something because the game told me that my plugins were missing. Instead of loading the game, I did some reading on the forums & found a solution.

 

I recommend abandoning NMM for now. Learn to mod manually & when you go back to NMM you will be able to troubleshoot any issues that come up in your game or any other game you decide to mod.

Oh, don't worry, I know how to manually mod. I've been playing Bethesda games for years, I'm well versed in handling the data folder, lol.

 

I'll see what I can do. I'm still a tad upset my character's pretty much rip though. ):

It's alright. First check if your mod list is still untouched in plugins.txt located in \Users\...\AppData\Local\Fallout4. You just need to add * mark for each entry. If it's clean then go to your Data folder and copy names of all of your .esm / .esp file names into plugins.txt . It should look something like this:

 

*Homemaker.esm

*SettlementKeywords.esm

*ArmorKeywords.esm

*Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch.esp

*Etc.

 

All .esm files goes before any .esp's. Compatibility patches and addons have to be typed after main files (master .esp files).

 

After you're done set plugins.txt as Read-only, so the launcher or steam update won't reset it. Check your Fallout.ini's if your archives edit is still there:

bInvalidateOlderFiles=1

sResourceDataDirsFinal=

why do people always creat new topics for this?

[Fatalmasterpiece]

Yeah, My plugins list is totally destroyed, and it was an long one too. Wondering if there is an tool that can read save files for their load orders it would be great for this situation, and Bethesda sucks for this crap It really feels like an lazy setup with this Bethesda.net thing that should have just stayed on consoles and not been some universal update for the game. It's not like much would come from people modding on the consoles to PC really, we are at an great creative advantage far above them in what we can do Bethesda.net should just be for consoles to share mods between each other and for any PC modders to upload any compatible mods to .net if they chose so.
