Going crazy trying to install new scenery in Fallout 4

Let me preface my post by saying that I'm enjoying Vortex, and find it a great aid in my play with Skyrim SE and Fallout 4.

 

I'm getting frustrated, however, trying to install scenery mods in F4. I've tried 3 different mods that add settlements to the Coast Guard station, and each either fail to display all their own content, or fail to disable all the vanilla content. I've installed the (very enjoyable) America Rising, and where it creates a new North Boston Police Station, it fails to completely remove the vanilla scenery from that location. Lastly, I've installed the Diamond City Expansion, and, when I stand outside Public Occurrences, I can see scenery flickering in and out as I look around.

 

 

I have, as far as i can tell, got Fallout 4 set for modding. I have the magic lines:

 

[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=
in my Fallout4Custom.ini, which is here:
C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Fallout4
Can anyone please tell me what I've missed?

This does not appear to be a Vortex problem. Your best bet is to raise this issue in a Fallout 4 support forum.

 

Have you checked to see if the mods need cleaning? I had flickering problems with Diamond City Expansion until I cleaned the mod with xEdit.

If you ever do think you have a Vortex problem, look in your game directory.

If the Textures and Meshes from your mod are there (and any plugin) - it is not a mod manager problem.

All Vortex is responsible for is putting files in the right place.

Now if your mod has texture files that are not in the game directory - come back and lets talk.

Well, I was kinda hoping that it was Vortex-related, as I didn't have these problems when I was using Mod Organizer 2 on my laptop a couple of years ago.

 

But, ok, I'll try out the FO4 forums.

 

Thanks for your time, guys.

Selecting Extension on the menu at the left everything shows as Enabled. However, there's no listing for Archive Invalidation. There IS a listing for Gamebryo Archive Invalidation, but as Fallout 4 doesn't use Gamebryo, I suspect this isn't what you mean.

 

 

@dferstat

 

Did you check your game data folder, as rmm200 recommended? If so, what did you find?

 

Hopefully, you'll find a solution in the FO4 support forum. If you don't, please come back here.

 

The three files from Diamond City Expansion are, indeed, in the Data folder. Looks like Vortex has done its work.

 

Ah, well. Time to schlepp off to the FO4 forums. :smile:
