Question about Ini files while using Vortex

[Lucars]

Hi all,

 

Just recently switched to Vortex and I must say its a hell of a lot easier to install mods this way then back then :smile:.

 

So Im very very new to the mechanics of how Vortex works and installs mods. I recently found out that the Ini files in the My Games Folder for New Vegas have changed:

 

 

 

Im guessing that has something to do with how vortex handles Ini´s. There is a new ini file called Custom.ini aswell as BAKED and BASE file versions of the normal ini´s.

While the Fallout_default in the main directory stayed the way it was.

 

Do I only apply changes the Custom ini now ? Because up until now I always applied changes to all three. (2 in the my game folder; 1 in the main directory).

 

Many thanks for any Info :smile:

You can open ( with Notepad ) all that says : Configuration Settings ..... on the right of the folder and make your changes as you want. I have done it and nothing wrong. :cool:

sopmac45 is correct - you can make INI changes as you see fit. However, Tannin (the Vortex developer) says never touch the files with extensions "baked" and "base."

Alright thanks for all your help :)

 

I found out that the Custom.ini comes from the JIP LN NVSE plugin. It basically overwrites the other inis like in Fallout 4.

 

Thanks for your help anyways tho :D
