Extremely frustrating experience

[AreeSoothsayer]

Did a little checking, the problem is with NMM, others have had it. The makers want bug reports sent so they can track it down. Something to do with symnlinks. Possible fixes incluse running in admin, which didn't work for you, and turning on Multi HDD mode. This causes NMM to reset and resync the symnlinks. So it's a possible fix, others just went for the manual installation I advised you to do.

Bahahahahahaahaha found the ACTUAL manual installation file for the Dialogue mod, apparently I had to scroll down quite a bit on the Nexus page and I was using the wrong 'full download' file.

So that mod is currently working. I'll have to try something with actual plugins now so I'll need even more time. This mod in particular never interacted with the NMM which is more evidence that it's an issue with the manager and my system.

That being said, now I'm worried about how I'll use a Mod Loader. If I do them all manually, are mod loaders till able to pick up on the mods that are in use? I have about 30 or so mods in total I'd really love to have in my game which I'll test 1 by 1, making sure they work, and then finally ending with a mod loader and tinkering with that till its all working smoothly. If I install manually, will this end up causing issues?

Let NMM work it's magic first on each file. Not all of the mods cause NMM to go on the fritz. If it does work then yay, if it fails use the manual install. As for other mod loaders. If I recall correctly they read for the esm files and list those. So it should work either way.

Yeaaah I won't be able to do manual installations...... Mods like Armor and Weapon Keywords Community Resource (AWKCR) come with absolutely no instructions besides "use NMM". I don't want to learn how to be a modder just to install some simple files, I mainly just want to play Fallout............. I don't know how to do any of this stuff and I'm not investing any more time than I've currently spent trying to learn it. I was sold on this being a user friendly mod for people who don't want to waste away 3 months of their life trying to learn how to mod

The only issue with that tho Aree is that no mods are working any more. I've tried a bunch. The full dialogue one is the only mod I've been able to get working because the manual installation had instructions, and it never interacted with NMM

I can't find any setting or websites saying anything about a 'Multi HDD' setting, can you help me out with that and see if that fixes it?

Thank fk I didn't get premium.

I am going to attempt 1 more time.

I am to believe this issue (http://oi64.tinypic.com/14tpy5y.jpg) is your issue?

 

IF so ? double click it and it will be enabled.

 

not bothering you any more. that's a simple fix and I sand boxed NMM to to maker sure. Cataloged a few screen shots for back up.

Seriously, I know this is rude, but just stop.

 

You aren't reading the posts, you just scim them and go with your gut feeling.

 

I literally said that the problem was that no matter how much I clicked activate it wouldn't activate, and that picture was to show him that after I enabled it, thats what it looked like.

 

Just, no more replies. At least not here. You're not helping at all, and the fact that you ignore everything people have said here is incredibly frustrating. I have to constantly repeat myself with you, and your original post here was a download link for a whole separate mod installer. You're clearly not here to help me with NMM. If you were, you would read what I say, like Aree does.

yep, it' is defiantly rude. Good luck.

[AreeSoothsayer]

Okay, try using a previous version of NMM. See if that fixes the issue. Dunno why I didn't think of this at the start. x..x Stupeeed brain.

[iSagan]

Ahhh fk it I'm totally done.

I got 3 hours sleep because of how stressful this has been, and the fact that it chewed up nearly all my time off work trying to get this friggen manager to cooperate with my system has been a constant migraine.

Every mod that comes with manual instructions is only something someone who already knows how to manually install could understand, some with none at all, and I havent even gotten to download the mods yet which I KNOW will have even more technical issues.

Gotta thank the Nexus Mod for successfully maintaining a head ache for 30 hours straight and completely wasting my time. Everything is counter intuitive, like why the effin hell could I install a single mod on the first day without an issue, and now every single one I've tried has been drama after drama?

Plus this forum lurker Purr4Me is clearly obsessed and not leaving this thread any time soon. And don't whine about people being rude Purr4Me, you think your replies are more important than reading what people have actually said. Not only is it frustrating and a complete waste of both our time, it's narcissistic and nothing but a problem. Which, by the way, is also rude."

I might come back eventually and return to banging my head on a wall but for now I'm done with this grief and it's extremely disappointing because I was 1 successful mod away from going premium which would've totally screwed me if I didn't test other mods first.

If I unistall the manager, Aree, I risk losing the console mod. Which I just can't risk in Fallout.

I'm not gunna throw a 40 hour survival mode file into the trash on any more false promises from NMM.

These are some instructions from AWKCR:

"Make ArmorKeywords.esm a master on your .esp and link it as a required file when you upload your mod"

Like eat a d**k as if a casual gamer knows what any of that means. I just want to play the effin game I don't wanna get a diploma in IT just to place the folders some where........... Which is exactly why I need NMM to work.

Whats worse is now when I open Fallout 4 I'm flooded with stress because now I associate it to this experience and it's completely put me off it.......................... ARGHHH..........
