unimportanthero Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Hi everyone. I have asked around and found that I am not the only one affected by this. It seems that since the Creation Kit 1.10.15.0 update, loose files (files storied in the Data folders rather than in a BA2 file) are no longer by their mods when Fallout 4 fires up. I have also had the opposite problem with Creation Kit itself - files in the mods I make no longer show up in the render window unless the files (normally packed in a BA2) are also loose in the appropriate date folders. Obviously, this is an inconvenience for testing mods, as it means a BA2 needs to be built every time I want to test a mesh or a texture material. But it also means that certain quick tweaks to the game no longer work. Replacing the opening SPECIAL videos with blank files so they do not load (and the INI tweaks do not seem to work either). Replacing the female animations with the male ones (a personal preference) to get rid of things like the unnecessary hip swish and 'hanging from the hip' idle stand. Tweaks like these no longer work because Fallout 4 is not loading loose files. I had backed up my INI files and tried switching them back in but it seems to be to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct this? Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve40 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Works fine for me. https://www.creationkit.com/fallout4/index.php?title=Enable_Loose_Files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unimportanthero Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 It seems to have been working fine for a few people I spoke with. One chum was kind enough to send me his INI files - just to see if the problem was with my own INI files - but it changed nothing. So I am now in the midst of a reinstall. Which, you know, will probably fix it. In eight hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabberjocky Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) For anyone having this problem, here's the page which fixed it for me:https://www.reddit.com/r/FalloutMods/comments/6r3kck/fo4_nexus_mod_manager_installed_loose_file_mods/ Here's the pertinent part: WhiskeyRiver2231 point · 2 years agoRun BethINI, under the "Basic" tab make sure you have "Load Loose Files" ticked off in addition to either the Vanilla or BethINI presets and "Enable File Selection". http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4875/?90% of the time this "problem" pops up, not having that box ticked turns out to be the problem. EDIT: Sigh... And then, it stopped working. I just don't know... Edited May 24, 2020 by jabberjocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
