Nexus Mod Manager not recognizing mods

[energy223]

When I click on the check to activate the mod it says The old Fallout 4 edits are deprecated (the long string in the fallout4.int caused long loading times) any reason why?

[maverikch]

has to do with your ini file content.

 

 

http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Fallout_4_Mod_Installation

If you enabled mods using the old method you will get that error message.
Notice points 10 and 11, I bet you still have those in your ini files.

 

or

 

 

Go into your regular Fo4 .ini and go down to [archive] (near the bottom)

find the sResourceDataDirsFinal= and delete the whole STRINGS\, TEXTURES\, MUSIC\, SOUND\, INTERFACE\, MESHES\, PROGRAMS\, MATERIALS\, LODSETTINGS\, VIS\, MISC\, SCRIPTS\, SHADERSFX\ afterwards.

I tried that but then I get a warning saying: to use fallout 4 mods you are required to make some necessary ini edits( fallout 4 custom int )

[maverikch]

your INI files are under C:\Users\[username]\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\?

 

the Fallout4Custom.ini needs this added:

 

 

[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=

 

to be sure you are in the right location, the other files there will be:

fallout4.ini

fallout4prefs.ini

ControlMap_Custom.txt

 

and the folder Saves with your save files.

 

maybe post a printscreen of the warning you are getting, wenn doing that will help.

[energy223]

i checked and i am in the right spot and [Archive] bInvalidateOlderFiles=1 sResourceDataDirsFinal is there and here is the message

[maverikch]

well, i need to see your fallout4custom.ini. may you add a printscreen of the content

 

mine is as simple as this:

 

 

edit: seeing your post once more, i was curious. did you set the "=" after sResourceDataDirsFinal?

So i removed it with my INI and launched NMM. Doubleclicked a mod and get the same message.

 

Please chek your ini file about the =

here is my custom ini

[energy223]

sorry here it is

[energy223]

Did you get the pic

[maverikch]

yes i got the pic. just stepped bit aside of it to clear my mind maybe getting some other idea.

 

your fallout4custom.ini is clean and tidy as mine. so the ini should not be the issue. even not having any folders after "sResourceDataDirsFinal=" i know some older mods do provide strings, textures, etc. separately in sub folders of the fallout 4 data folder.

 

but even so, the mods work fine.

 

maybe some do not and i don't have any of those mods installed. try playing around with the "sResourceDataDirsFinal=" entry which just adding specific folders behind it. Presumably those having content in it.

 

For example just: sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\

Savfe INI-File and try out.

if no luck: sResourceDataDirsFinal=TEXTURES\

save INI-File and try out.

etc.

 

but that is about i can come up with.
