Failed to Deploy Mods?

[terriblebrutus]

Hi,

 

This is my first time trying to mod and I am having an issue deploying mods for Fallout NV. I am getting this error.

 

Error: Access is denied. 'C:\Users\sfack\Documents\My Games\FalloutNV\Fallout.ini.baked'

My install path for the mods is D:\Games\Vortex\Fallout New Vegas which is the drive where my steam games are located.

My download path is C:\Users\sfack\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\downloads

Do I need to change my download path to match the install path?

Thanks.

No, this is not about your paths. The download path can be anywhere, but your "Mod Staging path" has to be somewhere on D:

 

The error message hints that Vortex doesn't have access to write into the game's own save-game directory.

 

Can you check if a file names Fallout.ini.baked exists in that path (C:\Users\sfack\Documents\My Games\FalloutNV)? Can you copy a file (any file) there or do you get an error message when trying that?

I'm having the same problem for SSE
