Pelgar Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 You may be looking in the wrong place for your problem. When I load xEdit through MO2 xEdit says it's loading "C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Fallout4\Plugins.txt" It's actually loading "C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\ModOrganizer\profiles\JennyLCCA_CBBE\Plugins.txt"JennyLCCA_CBBE is the name of the profile I'm currently using in MO2.

YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 Ok, interesting ...C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\ModOrganizer\profiles just contains a folder called "default", not all of my MO2 profiles ...In that "default" folder, there is a plugins.txt file, but in that are only the plugins that I installed before I was using ModOrganizer ... By the way, I have installed MO2 (and xEdit and FO4 and Steam and pretty much anything else) on an external harddrive, not the C drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelgar Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I'm far from a MO2 expert but I'd bet you'll find the plugins.txt file that MO2 is actually using or trying to use, buried up in the MO2 files somewhere on that external drive. I also have the plugins.txt file in the MO2 "default" folder. It contains one esp, not one that I currently have installed. If I had your problem I think my next step would be to install some simple mod, create a new profile in MO2 and see if it would sort things out.

YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 Yeah, but xEdit does not even work outside of MO2.So I don't think that MO2 has anything to do with it .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 Ok, so I just tried to start FO4Edit on my "secondary PC" (I have Fallout 4 installed there , but I don't use that machine for gaming, it's just a cheap laptop) and it works fine there.No errors on startup, IT JUST WORKSTM. On that computer, I have everything installed on the "normal" C drive.So I think thatI have some problems because I have all my games and software installed on a "secondary internal harddrive". For now I can at least continue to work on stuff (by using FO4Edit on my old laptop), maybe I will reinstall everything on the C drive at some point ... (Maybe I need to get a bigger SSD to use as the "main C drive", because the one I have now is half full with just the "default stuff" like Windows 10 and all of that crap ...) But then there is anohter question:Is it better to install "Steam" (and all of the games) on the C drive (SSD) or on another drive ("normal" HDD)?I don't care if the load screens in the game are 1 minute or 2 minutes long ....That's why I put all of that stuff on the (bigger) HDD.I thought that that would be better then "running out of memory" at some point ...(I mainly play/mod Fallout 4, Skyrim, Oblivion and Morrowind, and I don't plan on investing my time into any other games in the future ...)Maybe I will open a new topic for that ...

Pelgar Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Sorry, forgot you said xEdit would not start outside of MO2. I can't tell you what's proper to install on C: I can only tell you what I do. Basically anything that affects game performance like FO4, Steam, MO2 goes on my C: drive. I do have a 256GB SSD but I did the exact same thing with my old 128GB SSD and had plenty of room. I also have FO4Edit installed on my C: drive but If I was really pressed for space I probably would not have it there. I hope you get it worked out. I can't think of anything else that could help.

zilav Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 That ENotSupportedException and it's message are not xEdit errors, but errors issued by Windows when opening plugins.txt which xEdit just prints. Quick googling...https://stackoverrun.com/ru/q/10821835 So you most likely have some invisible special chars in the path (or in the file itself).

YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 Special characters?the only "special characters" that could be used are Ö Ä Ü _ - # and "space" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zilav Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Those are visible. There are also invisible ones that you'll never see without a hex editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 Weird stuff ... Ok, so how can such an "invisible character" get there?When I made my username on this PC, I didn't "copy & paste" anything, I just typed it in .... And is there any way to fix this (except completely deleting everything from my PC and doing a "clean install" of Windows and everything else ...)?
