Fatal: Could not find ini

[Crimson13]

I'm getting an error "Fatal: Could not find ini" when running the textgen.exe. I did move my Steam and MO folders to a different hard drive a few weeks ago and am just now updating my Skyrim mod list. I'm having trouble finding out how to fix this, does anyone have ideas?

I only added double double "" as a quote here, sorry for confussion. 

I followed the guide you provided and I use correct parameters. As stated I tried -m before -i. Thats what I get when trying -m:

[00:00:00.046]    TexGen based on xEdit x64 (5E5F5B6B) starting session 2024-04-10 20:30:04
[00:00:00.054]    Game Mode: TES5
[00:00:00.058]    Game Name: Skyrim
[00:00:00.061]    Using Skyrim Data Path: c:\Games\GOG Games\Skyrim Anniversay Edition\Data\
[00:00:00.065]    Using Backup Path: c:\Games\GOG Games\Skyrim Anniversay Edition\Data\TES5Edit Backups\
[00:00:00.069]    Using Scripts Path: C:\Games\Skyrim Użytki\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\
[00:00:00.075]    Using Cache Path: C:\Games\Skyrim Użytki\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\cache\
[00:00:00.079]    Using Temp Path: C:\Users\szymo\AppData\Local\Temp\TES5Edit\
[00:00:00.084]    Using ini: C:\Users\szymo\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Skyrim.ini
[00:00:00.090]    Fatal: Could not find ini C:\Users\szymo\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Skyrim.ini

funny thing is that when I add -sse before parameters the last line changes too:

[00:00:00.087]    Fatal: Could not find ini C:\Users\szymo\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\Skyrim.ini

and when I switch to -m to -i it finally finds the correct folder but still cant find the ini while im staring at it in that folder:

[00:00:00.088]    Fatal: Could not find ini c:\Users\szymo\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition GOG

Its driving me nuts. I finally modded skyrim really well with lots of mods (around 800) while staying at the 251 esm&esp limit, tested and it works fine, but of course GOG version again is making problems. Cant find any solution to this.

Download, install and use DynDOLOD 3 Alpha. https://dyndolod.info/Downloads

If the problem persists, make a screenshot of the executable settings with the argument field in MO2.-m and -i are different command line arguments that can not just be exchanged. A folder is not an INI file. The INI folder should be specified -m as explained in the instructions.

Thx, it finally works. i dont know how but I downloaded older Dyndolod than Alpha.

Ive run the game so the inis do exist and they are exactly where they should be

Using MO2, in the argument line I put -tes5vr -o:"C:\xLODGen_Output\"

Yet I get the error, and a text box with this bit

Using Skyrim VR Data Path: 
Using Scripts Path: E:\Skyrim MO\Utilities\Dyndotools\xLODGen\Edit Scripts\
Using ini: 
Fatal: Could not find ini

Ive looked all around and cant figure out where I went wrong?

Post the entire TES5VRLODGen_log.txt.
Copy and paste the entire command line arguments set in MO2. Post a screenshot of the Modify Executable window that shows all settings.
