Based on your feedback, I will go ahead with it. Definitely don't get that vibe from reading the posts though! Thanks for the replies.

I'm guessing STEP is already aware of this, but just in case... Posts on this mod's site indicate that it doesn't work as intended and may cause problems with Workshop Framework. Author (2-14-2024) mentioned a fix is being worked on. I really like the idea of this mod, so I hope it gets fixed!

Followed the guide using PRP 69. Just wondering if anyone has tried to update to PRP 74 since it has a version for 1.10.163. Presumably it is an improvement over 69. Just thought I'd poll the modding guru's out there before I cause myself some headache. Edit: Kinda early since OP, but I'm guessing that no response means I'm probably asking a dumb question. I did read DoubleYou's response to "Flickering/Disappearing Models in Concord" from last October. Basically, saying stick with 69. As I've been building my modlist, I've read some post saying 74 worked better for SS2 so that's why I was asking. I'll stick with the plan (PRP 69) for now.

LOL... I can relate!

Thanks for looking at it. I have been in contact with Nogog and he thinks it's a MO2 VFS issue. I have a question on MO2 discord about it. In the meantime, could I ask what versions you are using compared to mine. I am using MO2 2.5.2, Synth 0.32.1 and Dotnet 9.0.101. I have tried re-installing all of them but nothing has helped so far. Was wondering if I should start trying different versions. I apologize if I'm being a pest. NEVERMIND... I finally found the error. It was with Bitdefender. I had added an exception for synthesis.exe. However, all the options weren't checked. I added "Advanced Threat Defense" to the three default check boxes and now it works. For other morons like me, this is found from Bitdefender dashboard > Protection > Anti-Virus (open) > Manage Exceptions (this is where you set it). Again, sorry for all the confusion.

I rebooted several times while trying to find a fix. Doesn't help. I CAN run it outside of MO2... it allows me to pick Fallout 4 game. It then can't find the 'plugins.txt' file since it wasn't started in MO2. It doesn't crash but can't proceed either. It finds the FO4 data path, just not the path to my MO2 profile where the plugins file is at. Is there a way to set that path? Running outside MO2 created some .json files with Fallout 4 in description... that is why the error report I attached has FO4 in its detail because I tried to run from MO2 again after trying outside MO2 so the Fallout 4 is reflected in the crash report. Hopefully that makes sense lol.

Can't roll back that update now, so not sure how to test that? One other comment... When I first started Synthesis, Bitdefender gave me a warning saying it found Gen:Dump:Generic.Dacic.3754.73358A9B I assumed that was a false positive and made and exception which allowed Synthesis to start. But, again as mentioned originally, it froze and crashed.

I am at the point in the FO4 guide to run Synthesis. It crashes on startup. I have downgraded game to 1.10.163. The .Net Version is 9.0.101 (ran dotnet command to verify installation). Synthesis version is 0.32.1. Not seeing anything on the Synthesis discord or here on this issue. Appreciate any help you can give. Spoiler is the everything.txt log file.

Bummer. Thanks for the reply.

I downloaded standalone BethINI. When I run it, the dialog box asking to choose game comes up. I pick Fallout4, it then asks me to locate the "Fallout4Launcher.exe" file. When I do that, it says I don't have permission to access that file and BethINI closes. I have set BethINI to run as administrator and set the Fallout folders to have full access. I also put BethINI and Fallout4Launcher as an exceptions in my Bitdefender virsus scanning. None of this has solved the problem. Any help would be appreciated!!! I am running Windows 11 64 bit. The Fallout 4 game was downloaded from Microsoft through the Xbox app on my PC. I installed on my C drive in a standalone folder separate from the Program Files, etc. Also should mention that I can run Fallout4Launcher just fine, so I'm confused about the "lack of permission" when running BethINI. I'm logged on computer with Administrator rights.
