Either Take Cover or Custom.ini edits irreversibly MURDERED my frames

This is less of a support question because I'm reinstalling FO4 to fix the issue rather than messing with files, but when I installed Take Cover and followed the instructions to edit Fallout4Custom.ini (http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Fallout_4_Mod_Installation) my frames completely and irreversibly tanked.

 

I had made a backup of the .ini file before edits. When I loaded in and the frames tanked I figured the mod just didn't work for me. However, after uninstalling (with the command instructed) and reverting the .ini the drop stayed. I deleted all Fallout4Custom.*** files and validated FO4. The drop stayed. It's more than just a frame drop, my game becomes completely jankey. I'm not sure it's the mod, but because it's taking a reinstall to fix I'm not planning to test if it was this or the .ini edits that did the deed.

 

I couldn't find anything about this - anyone else experience it?

UPDATE: I checked one last time before I did the deed and realized I hadn't redeployed in Vortex (D'OH) and that fixed it. So I did avoid a total reinstall by deleting those .ini files.

 

Since I avoided another clean download, I reinstalled the mod without the .ini edits in that link and got the same issue.

UPDATE 2: Seems it was an irreversible break after all. If I don't delete the Fallout4Custom.*** files and deploy in Vortex before every launch the issue returns. Not necessarily the mod in that case, so I'll see if the issue persists if I reinstall by making a backup. I don't consider that a 'clean' install, but if it fixes the problem I'll test the mod again without those .ini edits to make sure if it's to blame. If the backup reinstall doesn't work I won't bother, just too much hassle.

I'll be reinstalling tomorrow.
