greentea101 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 This is not really a modding question, but I'm hoping someone here knows the answer. I'm working on a modding tool, and I'm not sure how to best get the install location of FO4. I'm currently reading the uninstall key from the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Steam App 377160), but I'm not sure how reliable that is. Is there a better way of doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KakouZ Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 You could maybe look into F4SE (the script extender), it probably has a way to detect where a plugin you would have created is located on the current filesystem, or just prompt the user for it and retrieve that info later in your mod (again maybe F4SE), i'm no expert so i really dont know if this will work, but i do hope it'll help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greentea101 Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 I had not actually considered checking the source of other tools, so thanks for the idea (I'm not sure why I didn't think of that myself). I've looked at how NMM does it, and I think I've got everything I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
