nexus can't find FO4 ini file

[jrfk2]

I am family sharing FO4 from my old PC and installed it at

 

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Fallout 4

 

and the game runs fine there and I created a save game and downloaded some mods from Bethesda fine.

 

When I run NMM, it finds it at that location, but when I choose FO4 to manage, it says it can't find the ini file.

 

The ini file apparently lives in

 

C:\Users\myname\Documents\My Games\Fallout4

 

I tried switching NMM to point to that location, but then it complained it couldn't find the exe.

 

I tried copying the files from the C drive to the D drive and changing the My Games\Fallout4 folder to a shortcut to the D drive, but then FO4 wouldn't launch.

 

Any ideas what I have to tweak where to fix this?

 

I hate it when new PCs come with the 1 drive partitioned.

well despite the warning NOT to enable the mods, I tried it and the mods show up in the load order in the game and seem to be in effect, tho some things seem a bit off ...

You should have the following files C:\Users\myname\Documents\My Games\Fallout4 in the folder

Fallout4.ini., Fallout4Custome.ini and Fallout4Prefs.ini. Also the Fallout4Custom.ini, needs to have the following added [Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=

thanks for the reply .. there is no Fallout4Custom.ini .. should I just create it with those 2 lines? thanks ..
