csabati2 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Hi, I decided to post this up here to see if anyone else has experienced this and maybe found a better solution. Some of the mods I've installed using Vortex are being installed inside a Data folder located inside the REAL Data folder. For example; If I download and install Mod A and look in the Vortex mods folder, it will look something like this: C:\...\Vortex\fallout4\mods>Mod A > fomod > Data > Mod A - Main.ba2 > Mod A.esp After enabling it, the result in my Fallout 4 install directory looks something like this: C:\...\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\> Data >Data > Mod A > Mod A - Main.ba2 > Mod A.esp This prevents Vortex from detecting the new esp and listing in in the plugins tab. So far the only solution I found is to do the following: 1. Open the mod folder in Vortex.2. Move the needed mod files out of the data folder and into the mod's "root" directory.3. Disable the mod in Vortex.4. Vortex will then notify me that the mod files were changed outside of Vortex and ask if I want to make these permanent. Select Apply from the drop down menu and click Confirm.5. Enable the mod again in Vortex.6. Enable the plugin in Vortex. After this, the mod is installed correctly and loads in game without issue.

HardwareSc8 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Can you list which mods, specifically, are doing this? My suspicion is that the mods "aren't packaged properly" inside the archives, as MO likes to say. If that's going to be an issue, Tannin needs to know about it so that some sort of fix, or at least warning, can be put into place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csabati2 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 JtBryant96's mods for sim settlements are the most recent: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/23125https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/24601https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/25010 There were a few others, but I can't remember which. I remember that in MO there was a "manual" installation option that allowed you to select which folder would act as the game's Data folder. Maybe something similar could be implemented for Vortex?

HalfLazy Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Yeah, I send a feedback too, as far I've tested isn't a bad structure folder. JtBryant96's mods have the same folder structure of Unlimited Survival Mode - F4SE ( https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/26163 ) that dosen't create problem Other files are:Hmm What To Wear - CBBE Bodyslidehttps://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10232Wasteland Pionerka v1_0 CBBE BodySlidehttps://rd.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/17108Tactical Armor <- My bad, this file it's ok, is it's bodyslide that get installed badly (added after)https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/26484 Newermind43's Female Tactical Armor CBBE bodyslide conversionhttps://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/26491 So far I have too solved by manual fixing EDIT: My Bad, I wrote Tactical Armor, but the archive who gives problem is Newermind43's Female Tactical Armor CBBE bodyslide conversionFixed the post to avoid confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b3snik Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 C:\...\Vortex\fallout4\mods>Mod A > fomod > Data > Mod A - Main.ba2 > Mod A.esp Was this installed manually? If it was it should look like this: C:\...\Vortex\fallout4\mods>Mod A > Mod A - Main.ba2 > Mod A.esp I've installed a lot of mods, most of them directly from Nexus, and I never had this problem.

HalfLazy Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 [...]I've installed a lot of mods, most of them directly from Nexus, and I never had this problem. Could you try to install one or more of JtBryant96 mods as test and check if they got installed correctly to you?Maybe could be a different type of problem... https://www.nexusmod...out4/mods/23125https://www.nexusmod...out4/mods/24601https://www.nexusmod...out4/mods/25010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b3snik Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I'll test it as soon as I get home and will get back to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you could say it was half way installed manually. I downloaded and installed the mod using Vortex. After installation, if the mod files were set up wrong, I go into the mod's folder using the "Open in File Manager" option. I rearrange the files to bee the way they are supposed to, and then just disable and re-enable the mod. To summarize, Vortex does the unpacking and I sort the files into their proper place in the hierarchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardwareSc8 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Hrm. I installed the Tactical Armor just fine before I was even made aware there was a problem, so I'm afraid I apparently can't help much with this issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfLazy Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Hm wait, my bad, I forgot a thing, it ISN'T the Esp of Tactical Armor that is misplaced, it's the bodyslide file. EDIT: Here the right file, could you check again?
