Fallout4 Troubleshooting
Bug Workaround
CTD (crash to desktop)
Try re-generating your .ini files. They keep information about the video card, and after days of debugging, ended up being the cause of my problem.
player.moveto player
This bug came up when I was using a mod that had only partially been installed.
find companions
player.moveto 0002f25 # move yourself to a companion's location. 00002f25 # Valentine 0001D162 # Dogmeat 00002f1f # Piper 00079305 # Cait 0003f2bb # Strong 0001a4d7 # Garvey 0001ca7d # Codsworth 00050976 # Deacon 00102249 # Curie 00022615 # Hancock 0005de4d # Dansecleaning a savegame
cleanup save method
NOTE:
This has worked, but there are no guarantees...
- disable all mods
- load savegame
- save
- exit game
- use fallrim tools to clean save
- load save with new mods
rebuild save method
NOTE:
I have not performed this yet. At the very least you'll want
- quest completion
- perks
- exp
I assume settlements/appearance will be difficult to port.
New idea: create a new/clean save, and write a script to complete quests
