WARNING Installing mods requires you to add to / remove / alter the main files of the game - ALWAYS use caution when installing mods.Before Installing Mods to modding any game is to make a backup of all of your games files, including any loose configuration files. In the case of Fallout 4, these are found (by default) in:C: Program Files (x86) Steam SteamApps Common Fallout 4C: Users Your Profile My Documents My Games Fallout 4Copying these files will ensure that, in the event of a catastrophic failure on your part (or if you just want to start from a clean install), you don't have to download and re-install the game.Enabling Mods in Fallout 4 In order to make your copy of Fallout 4 mod-friendly, you need to edit two configuration files, Fallout4.ini and Fallout4Prefs.ini.

The best way to avoid errors in this is to read all of the installation instructions carefully before installing any files.Where to Install Mods Installing mods manually may seem like a daunting task, but in many cases it's a much simpler job than one might think. Apart from scripting tools (such as the FOSE for Fallout 3 / New Vegas) or lighting overhauls (like Boris Voronstov's ENBseries), almost all of the mod files will be installed into the Data folder of your game's directory. By default, the directory is installed to:C: Program Files (x86) Steam SteamApps Common Fallout 4When you've downloaded your mod files, use a file extracter such as WinRar or 7zip to extract the files into the Data folder.
If your mod contains plugins, such as a.esp or.esm, simply copy those files into the data folder on their own. If the mod contains loose files - such as a folder lablelled 'Meshes' or 'Strings' or something - copy the entire folder into Data.Before launching the game, open the Fallout 4 launcher then exit it to activate your mods.Activating Plugins Until the official modding tools for Fallout 4 are released, it is unlikely that the launcher will feature a Data Files tab to configure your mod load order.In order to ensure that your mods are installed, you'll need to manually check and setup the game's plugin list. This file can be found (by default) in:C: Users Your Profile App Data Local Fallout 4.
IF YOU CAN'T FIND THE APP DATA FOLDER By default, this folder is hidden. In Windows Explorer, open the Tools section of the Menu Bar and select Folder Options. In the View tab of that window, under the Hidden Files and Folders section, check the box marked 'Show Hidden Files, Folders and Drives'.In the Fallout 4 folder in App Data, open plugins.txt- if your installations were successful, you should see your.esp or.esm files listed beneath Fallout4.esm. If they aren't listed there, manually enter the file names and save the document, then launch the game.
You need a legal copy of Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition updated to version 1.4 in order to use these mods.Also, the order of the mods I will be using is the preferred order they should be in when using Mod Organiser, which is my personal recommendation for a mod manager. Not all of the mods included have Nexus releases, so you will require a GUN account to gain access to some of them (although the mods I use are not necessary per se, so it's completely optional).Finally, this guide will require you to know how to use.
You can check for a summary of installation and basic use.Without further ado, let's begin.Utilities:There's some basic utilities that require installation before we can start modding out our game. These will help with removing conflicts, stabilising the game, and are sometimes required in order for mods to run.
The New Vegas script extender is one of the most important tools required for scripted mods to run. Installation is simple, if you downloaded the.zip file, all you have to do is extract the contents into your Fallout: New Vegas directory (SteamsteamappscommonFallout New Vegas), or run the installer that can also be found in the Silverlock site. Mod Organiser should recognise the extender right away. A powerful tool that allows the cleaning of master files, as well as the creation of merged patches for improved compatibility between mods. After downloading the file, I recommend creating a folder inside your Fallout: New Vegas directory, then extracting the contents of the.zip file into it. You then need to open Mod Organiser, click on the gears icon, change the title to FNVEdit, then click on the browse button to the right of 'Binary' and select FNVEdit.exe from the location where you installed it.
Finally, click on 'Use Application's Icon for shortcuts' and then click on add. This launcher will allow your game to run with more than 2gb of RAM. The installation process is the same as NVSE, but you will have to add the launcher to MO through the same process used for FNVEdit. The Load Order Optimisation Tool will allow you to sort your load order, check for dirty plugins and will alert you of any missing masters in your load order. Download the installer and let it run, it should be automatically detected by MO. Note that you will have to run LOOT through MO in order to sort your load order.
A small utility for merging multiple esps into a single package. After downloading the.zip file I recommend creating a new folder inside your New Vegas directory, then extracting the program there. This also has to be added to MO through the same process as FNVEdit.Optional Utilities:The standard tool used to create mods for New Vegas. Will be required for the optional advanced tweaking of mods.A tool used to add meshes into the Gamebryo engine. Will be required for the optional advanced tweaking of mods.Basic Setup:.
Adds an interface to the pause menu that allows for customisation of mod settings. Download with manager OR download manually and use MO's 'Install a new mod from an archive' function on the top left of the interface. A dependency for some of the mods that will be installed further on. I'm getting texture glitches with the varmint rifle. What mods would be conflicting? Also, CASM says I'm using Lutana NVSE version 0 and that it is installed incorrectly. I installed it like other NVSE files.
What would be the proper way? Thanks for the great guide btw.Make sure that the WRP - WMX patch is at a lower priority than both WRP and WMX, and if the issue continues rebuild your merge patch and/or archive invalidation. As for Lutana, you should try to reinstall the latest version, and check again.
Our other Minion @Roachbait May find this interesting, he suffers from old crappy laptop syndrome also. You didn't list your system spec. Hey Matt,Very nice mod list. Thanks for your help.I've followed your instructions to the letter, and the game looks awsome.I've just became aware of a little problem (that for me is kinda game breaking): The compass on the HUD isn't showing any markers.Yep, it's completly blank, you can see the bar where the compass should appear, but the markers are not there.I've looked around and the problem seems to be the version of DarnUI you suggested on your link.
There's another, more recent version, of DarnUI that doesn't seem to cause the compass problem. Maybe change the link so nobody else gets this problem?Well. My question now is: after following your steps and creating the merged patches, can I still uninstall all the UI mods, reinstall the newer version of DarnUI and then reinstall the other mods (HUD like fallout 4, oHud and UIO). I've never used merged patches before, so some help would be nice.
