NMM Won't install files only folders, not just for fallout 4 but for every game.

I'm kind of at my wit's end here. I have tried everything to get it to install the mods on witcher 3 and fallout, I've tried running it as admin, I have [Archive]

bInvalidateOlderFiles=1

sResourceDataDirsFinal=

in the fallout4custom.ini I've uninstalled the program completely, installed it and the games on 3 hard drives (moving the program and the game to the different hard drives each time) and no matter what I do the NMM just won't install the mods, it installs the folders needed for the mods, but then the folders are completely empty, does anyone have any ideas?

The latest version of NMM is pretty much completely borked and they're no longer offering support on it. You might want to learn to install mods manually until they develop new software or try using Mod Organizer 2. To install manually use these instructions: http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Fallout_4_Mod_Installation

 

Edit: You can also try using an older version of NMM. https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/5165945-looking-for-stable-version-of-nmm/

Wow, okay so..pretty much manual install, Mod Organizer 2, or wait for an update. I wish they would say so on their site. Thanks for the information though!

They have a sticky post up in the open beta NMM forum about it. https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/5159340-nmm-is-currently-end-of-line-read-why-and-what-this-means/

 

Edit: I personally plan to revert to an old version of NMM. The thread I linked in my previous post's edit has a link to older versions of NMM.

Yeah that's probably the route I'll end up going as well, I wonder which update was the last stable(by stable I mean working) one. I didn't really have any issues until sometime this month.

 

Edit: I tried version .61.23 and that seems to be working for me, will post again if it starts derping again for some reason.

 

Edit 2: I was wrong that version just says it installs the mods lol I'll just install them manually.

I'm busy finishing up a mod and haven't reinstalled mods to game (after an OS reinstall just over a week ago), but I'm planning on trying 0.61.21.
