Error: F4SE not installed (But it is!)

[jknoff]

Did this, step by step. Didn't work.

 

New Rig

i5 10400

RTX2060

16GB Ram

 

 

EDIT* It worked. The instructions didn't say to replace the scripts folder and the src folder in their appropriate locations after they were deleted. That fixed the problem. Runs great!!!!

Hi all

 

I'm getting the same problem, even though the F4SE is installed (and its registering on the start up screen), I still get the error message on a new game stating that it's not installed. I have all the mods and counter mods that are needed, and the bloody thing is installed, but the game is not registering that it's installed, so none of my animations will work - sometimes the menu for them won't work either.

 

I read in another post a long winded process of trying to get it to work - as follows:

 

 

______________

delete the scripts folder in the games data folder , delete falou4prefs.ini and fallout4.ini in your docs folder.

open fallout4.custom.ini

it should have this in it

delete f4se_loader.exe , f4se_steam_loader.dll , f4se_1_10_64.dll from the games main folder

if there are any other previous versions of these delete them too . check the games data folder and make sure you didnt add those to it there

disable steam cloud .

if you added anything to the games launcher options remove that too

then verify the games integrity

steam >library

rt click fo4 then select properties

select local files

then verify the games cash

disable all mods in nmm (uncheck in nmm "plugins") not the games esm or the dlc

just the mods

start a new game with the regular launcher , let when the game sets the options check the resolution make sure it's the same as your monitor ,

make a save after the mirror

exit game

verify that the .ini's are not read only

verify that custom.ini has

[Display]

iLocation x=0

iLocation y=0

[Archive]

bInvalidateOlderFiles=1

sResourceDataDirsFinal=

[Launcher]

bEnableFileSelection=1

re-download f4se from silverlock

extract the .dll's and the .exe to the games main folder (NOT the data folder)

when they are in the games folder rt click f4se_loader.exe and select run as admin

open the data folder , verify you have a f4se folder in it , and in the f4se folder verify that ther is a plugins folder

if it all looks good start the game again with the regular launcher run your new save for a min .

exit game

now f4se knows what to hook into ,

launch the game with f4se_loader.exe

___________

but I'm missing the fallout4.custom.ini file. so that went as well as you can expect.

Any help would be appreciated!!

 

I realize this topic is a year old but I ran into the same problem today. I followed your directions and it actually worked. So I saved game shut down to come here and thank you, but a friend came over so I chatted for a bit and reloaded the game, and the MCM is missing again. FML

I have been modding since before the Oblivion days and I have run into a lot of weird problems, but this is a unique one, never ran into this before.

I must have installed MCM 20 times now , both manually and through NMM.

It was there for 30 seconds though.

 

nm, wrong post.

Note for anyone having this problem in the future (this thread is the top result on Google) - I managed to fix mine by realising that I was incompetent, lol.

 

When reading the Notepad installation file I missed "Copy the Data folder over too". Make sure you have the .DLL files and the F4SE loader in your Fo4 installation folder, but MAKE SURE YOU COPY THE DATA FOLDER TOO!

You are a genius. This was my problem.

also where do i find the data folder

[HeyYou]

I would suggest downloading Vortex, and using that to install your mods. :)

 

Steam tends to bury things pretty deep. So, the 'path' you are looking for is: (assuming default install location for both steam, and the game....)

 

C:\Program Files[x86]\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout 4\data

 

You can manually install F4SE, but, it goes in the Fallout 4 folder, not the data folder.

I fixed this by going through each mod re-enabling one at a time trying to narrow it down. Turns out it was the advanced Animation Framework (AAF) causing the issue.

Thanks. It was the advice I needed! Vortex messed up my game folder, so I tried to clean it out of everything that it created there and accidentally deleted f4se scripts from the "data" folder.

I ended up following the directions here: https://appuals.com/fix-fallout-4-script-extender-f4se-not-working/

 

I made F4SE_Loader run in Windows 8 compatibility mode - seemed to fix the issue for me.
