A way to disable/enable Fallout 4 files?

Is there a way to disable Fallout 4's mod files and DLC files?

 

The thing is that I have a mod project going, but I don't want it to automatically load into my game whenever I try to launch Fallout 4.

 

I miss the old .esp file system where we had a file tab on the launcher to turn files on and off.

 

Does ANYTHING like that exist? I really don't want to have my own half-finished (literally) mods trying to load and then some script loop that I've written kick in and constantly spam me with messages...

Either go in-game and go to 'mods' on the main menu and disable mods through the load order or use a mod manager like the Nexus Mod Manager?

 

Ah...

 

Oh dear, there IS in fact a "mods" button on the in-game main menu. I've completely overlooked the obvious. :sweat:

 

That's my fault entirely. :wallbash:

 

Thanks for pointing that out to me.

 

Do you know if there's a similar way to disable and then re-enable DLC's? I've already done Far Harbor but I don't like the way that I did it and I don't have an old save file from before I started it/completed it so I'd kind of like to do it over again. The only way I know how to do this is to disable, load, save, and then re-enable the DLC it self, but in the mod menu that appears in-game doesn't list the official DLC's.

 

Do I have to go to my steam page and then uninstall them and then reinstall them, or is there another means similar to how it used to work for Skyrim and backwards?

 

Other than the nexus mod manager, which I've tried using before but could never really get the hang of.

You can only disable DLCs through NMM and I recommend NMM over the in game mod manager because you get more control and you can drag and drop in the loadorder. I believe there is also a hidden mod menu on the launcher near one of the eyes of the power armor helmet and it should let you disable DLCs, but I don't recommend using it over NMM.

I just downloaded the nexus mod manager and my files for Fallout 4 aren't coming up. The mod manager version I have is 0.61.23.

 

The only file that shows up in the load order is "Fallout4.esm" and that's it.

 

 

EDIT::

 

Nevermind; I just set something up wrong. I've got everything loaded. Thanks for the help.

 

Nevermind AGAIN: the mod manager does let me activate and deactivate mods that I have downloaded or made, but not official plugins.
