I made a mistake with Vault 111

[js303]

I'm fairly new at placing items into interior cells and my first time placing an item into vault 111, I did something wrong and now the gear shaped elevator floor that lowers you into vault 111 is still there but invisible... also the gate that raises and lowers is also invisible but still there... but as you can see in the pic below, the gate is still visible in CC.

 

 

Unfortunately I was stupid and didn't make a backup before saving the edit. I swear on my life I didn't select or edit any objects in the vault, only thing I can think is I clicked on something by accident and poof..

 

So now I need to do 1 of 3 things, 1: set the vault 111 interior cell back to default, 2: duplicate the default cell from the main game esp then paste it into my mod and delete the one I edited, or 3: put the objects back in by hand. After a few minutes of playing around I haven't figured out how to do any.

 

I'm sure it's an easy fix but any help is appreciated

1. If you don't have it yet get a copy of FO4Edit,
2. open your mod with FO4Edit,
3. under Cells look for the vault 111 cells you edited,
4. open the cell by clicking the little + to the left of the cell name,
5. open the Temporary and Persistent lists (Persistent may not apply but I suspect the elevator and door will be in that list)
6. Your edits/added items will appear black, (this is ok)
7. The edits to the vanilla objects should appear Green,
8. Delete any edits that you didn't intend, (don't worry this is not deleting them from the game itself just from your mod and in game they will revert back to their original state)
9. exit and save,
10. This should resolve your issue,

This is a fairly simplistic explanation of how to remove unintended edits from a mod but you said your new so I didn't want to make things difficult,

 

Hope this helps.

Forgot to say when you go to delete the edit's you'll get a warning asking if you want to continue, click ok to and continue. FO4edit will create a backup of your mod from before you edited it but, it's always a good idea to do a manual backup if your at all worried about what your doing.

Thanks for your help, it worked just like you said it would and fixed it in 2 minutes. I'd give you a long awkward hug if I could.

I'm just happy to help!

 

FO4Edit is a powerful tool and you can do a lot with it!
