Game crashes to desktop when ini file edited

So my mods used to work, but now when the ini file is edited to allow mods my game CTD when I load any save or start a new game. I've tried deleting all mods, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, still does it. When the ini file isn't edited the game works, when it is edited (even with no mods installed) it crashes to desktop. Any ideas? It's driving me crazy

don't add it to fallout4custom.ini replace the line in fallout4.ini like how it looks in mine above.

This is incorrect. The two small lines after [Archive] in the custom ini is all that's needed. OP has the correct mod enable. Any custom ini setting goes into the custom ini. That's the whole purpose of that file. The other ini setting files should not be edited. Do not follow this ini advice and do not add anything after the sResourceDataDirsFinal=. Leaving it blank tells the game to automatically load any custom files and replace what it loads from its ba2 archives.

 

OP, do you have a UI mod installed or anything that replaces swf files? Those mods can't be disabled from plugins since there's usually no esp file to disable. Fully uninstall any UI mod such as DEF_UI or Pleasant UI or just delete the Interface folder in Fallout4/Data and your game should work just fine. This has been a common recent issue causing a few people to somehow blame the custom ini changes on crashing.

 

Keep track of any mods that don't have an esm or esp file. Those go into folders in the Data folder and the game loads those sound files, texture files, etc to replace the default files. Most of those types of mods are easy and usually don't have issues, but any UI mod edits swf files and editing swf files is a crapshoot.
