instyne49 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I want to use the Place Anywhere mod. A requirement is having F4SE 0.3.0 installed, I have the newest version of Fallout 4 installed. I downloaded the 7zip archive, unpacked it and installed 5 items into my steamapps/fallout folder. My problem is that I do not have anything labeled F4SE_loader.exe or S4SE.exe . the only things that came in the zip archive were, SFC, CustumControlMap, f4se_1-9-4 dll, f4se_readme, and f4se_whatsnew. Nothing shows up when I start the game and the command to show the version in command console returns nothing. Any advise and or suggestions would be appreciated.

kevkiev Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Someone had this problem a while back. Another user posted that they had the same experience by using the default windows 10 program instead of 7zip to unpack the archive. (OP never posted whether or not that was his problem.) https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/5311410-f4se-problem/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advise and or suggestions would be appreciated.I used 7zip and tried 3 times to unzip the archive from silverlock, each time the loader failed to appear. After seeing your reply and reading other responses to this topic, I downloaded winzip and used it to unpack the files, using this utility I did get everything unzipped correctly. After copying the files to my Fallout 4 folder and making a shortcut to the desktop, I can use the loader shortcut and it directly opens the game, without having to open Steam first. I thank you for your quick response. Later today I will start the game and use console to confirm the proper integration. Again, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
instyne49 Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 I can't be sure but some of my problem may have been due to download locations on my computer, or more accurately, the location I tried to install to. After reinstalling everything twice with bad results both times, plus the original problem, I did one more fresh install. This time I created a folder on the C: drive, C:/My Games/Steam Apps. I installed everything except for video and screenshots into that one folder. When I set up for modding this time, everything went without a hitch. The only thing I could figure out was that most everything defaulted to Program Files. Program Files has UAC that makes most things read only. Someone with experience could help explain this better than I can and I could be wrong, but since the change I haven't experienced any of my original problems. Knowing whether to complete a quest before or after installing mods is something I'm still working on, so far finishing the quest first has resulted in fewer returns to an earlier save. I hope this helps anyone who finds this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
