Can't get F4SE to install properly

[caseypacific]

I've tried installing it 3 times. I rolled back to the previous patch because I am aware that the latest patch does not work with F4SE yet. I moved all of the proper files (such as the F4SE launcher and the 5 other files) into my FO4 directory and still it does not appear to work. I launches just fine, but when I use the console command GetF4SEVersion, the command is not found. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to use the "Place Everywhere" mod, but after 3 hours of trying to get this process to work, I'm about ready to rip my hair out. I don't know if my F4SE is in fact working properly, and they just did away with the command, or what the deal is. But the only indication that is is working is the fact that the launcher opens the game with no problem whatsoever. Any help?

Your text, so hard to read v.v Are you using .205 or .210?

It doesn't seem like it's loading. Do you use NMM? (If so have you tried double checking that it is running F4SE?)

What does your f4se_loader.log say? (Documents\my games\Fallout4\F4SE)

Hi, thanks for the response! I'm using .205, and I'm not using NMM. My f4se_loader.log says:

Hmm that is strange. It shows that it is indeed loading F4SE.

If you check Fallout 4\Data\F4SE\Plugins do you have these files...?

 

place.dll

place.ini

Also, if you check place.ini

 

is the first (non commented) setting...?

togglable = 2

 

If so try changing to...

togglable = 1

 

Save, and then launch your game. Please respond with results.

I had both files. Here's how the top of the .ini reads:

 

[main]

;togglable = 0

;wheelRotation = off

;timeoutFrozen = off

;snapDisabled = off

;groundDisabled = off

;outlineDisabled = off

;extraOutlineEnabled = off

 

I'm going to change it to 1 and see if it works. I'll let you know

[caseypacific]

Still nothing. Here's the full .ini maybe it's an issue with that:

Tried both, neither one seemed to work. I just don't understand, it's so bizarre. Is there something special I need to do to activate it?

[caseypacific]

Just tried opening F4SE with NMM. Still no dice. I've tried installing the file manually, and tried installing it with NMM. It seems there's nothing I can do to get this mod to work :confused:

[Rhyssia]

Don't worry about using NMM. Copy the contents of the second spoiler tag and make sure the path is... Fallout 4\Data\F4SE\Plugins\place.ini

In build mode try pressing F8 twice.

 

Also check \Documents\my games\Fallout4\F4SE\F4SE.log

 

check If you have "reported as incompatible during query" in that log
