Mod/plug in reset on loading saves

[NukaRaven]

I originally posted this under "root cellar bug" as I thought it may have just been one instance, however something different happened. Sort of. But not really.

 

Original:

Saved my game night before last, had just completed talking to Sr Gwenyth as part of the CoA FH questline.

 

Loaded up the save last night, and again today (I hadn't done anything, just come out of it) and I'm in the Root Cellar in Sanc and a series of pop-ups comes up as if it's a new game.

Those pop ups are the standard config options for Backpacks, Mossberg, etc.

(I did exit the cellar once conventionally and the game immediately had a CTD).

 

AFT has to reinitialise and I'm missing Nora. The companions I do have, as well as myself have also changed appearance (CBBE doesn't look like it's loaded, the Ponytail hairstyles, robot eyes, etc are all missing in-game).

 

I'm missing the personal armoury I had on me at the time unless it's a 'nilla weapon.

 

I let it run for half an hour not doing anything to see if anything else would "load", it didn't.

 

I coc'd to the Nucleus and the entirety of the CoA were agro.

 

Vortex is showing plugins as being active, but half of them have that little orange bell saying they're missing Masters, though no notification up top says that... The only other thing that popped up was Cheat Room (hosted on Beth): a pop up similar to the others saying it had updated and there was a back-up save. I can't find said back up and I forgot I even had the mod so cleared it off thinking that had done it.

 

I've verified via Steam, even loaded up a cloud-based save and it's the same bs.

 

Vortex did say F4SE needed a fix, so I hit fix and tried again. Nada.

 

Any help?

 

 

Now, the same thing has happened in a different save.

 

This time I'm on the Pryd. I saved there in Ingram's little area and came out. Went back in later, opened the save and it's the same thing. But this time I'm still on the Pryd.

 

A lil more detail (this happens in either save).

 

I get a pop up about Cheat Room (I reinstalled it after taking it out did naff all) with "if you're seeing this the new version has correctly installed" blahblah. It does also back up my save.

I get the pop ups about a couple of guns I have (mossberg, etc), Backpacks of the Commonwealth etc all "loading" anew

AFT reinitialises, I get "follower managed" and I get everyone I had bar Nora appear (she also doesn't appear in AFT's follower list).

My Azar hair has gone, my companions' hair has also all disappeared.

My mixture of weapons from MW, COD and Halo are all gone, as is some of my armour options.

I still seem to have CROSS BOS stuff, possibly because something else makes it load as part of the BOS now.

 

Very frustrating.

 

I played a lil before xmas, opened it up on the 28th and ran into the issues. I've left it a few days seeing if anything is in the process of updating or what but nada.

Rolled back to an earlier save (pre FH) and ran into what I've just described.

 

Only other thing is that Vortex occasionally pops up saying that F4SE wasn't pathed properly and should be able to fix it, hit fix and that seems to be it. I've had that a couple of times now.

 

Did anything update over xmas? I *think* maybe UOFP? But I'm not sure that would do it. Do I need to fresh install F4SE?

 

Steam verified, Vortex update checked.

 

Halp?

Vortex has a tendency to untick certain mods after a restart of the game when Vortex has been closed and started again. It was one of the (many) reasons why I switched back to Nexus Mod Manager. NMM is far easier to use and doesn't screw-up your game like Vortex seems to keep on doing. Vortex isn't a 'bad' mod manager, just don't believe the hype spread by all the fanboys.
