Installing ModOrganizer 2 beta 3

PLUGIN: BACK TO WIKI

The following is a guided method of installing ModOrganizer 2.0.7 to the C: (Primary HDD) of your computer Template:Notice Small

The following issues are resolved when following this Wiki

• Issue MO2 not starting after the 1st run.
• Issue profiles are unreachable or incomplete file structure in them once symbolic link created functions normally
• Issue overwrite folder in MO not showing files that are in the Directory
• Loot not showing more than main and DLC files
• Unable to create Default profile

WARNING

If you are Intending to use this Guide and are currently using mods then you will in most likelihood have unexpected results.

You need to start with a clean installation of FO4.

!!!!!!!!DO NOT USE MODORGANIZER IN PORTABLE MODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You could zip up your FO4 install folder or rename your FO4 then reinstall FO4 (if you want to revert to your previous install).

Default installation path

• Install ModOrganizer2 (Change Path in the Installer to C:\ModOrganizer2)
• Run ModOrganizer2

• Add the C:\ModOrganizer2 folder to Windows Defender Exclusions
• Make ModOrganizer.exe run as an Administrator

Modifying location of Base Directory

• make a Folder C:\ModOrganizer2Data
• make a Folder C:\ModOrganizer2Data\Tools
• Move the Contents of C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\ModOrganizer to C:\ModOrganizer2Data

• Delete C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\ModOrganizer
• Open an administrative command prompt, then create a symbolic link with the following command "mklink /J C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\ModOrganizer C:\ModOrganizer2Data"

• Your C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\ModOrganizer folder should look like this(the pic below) now if it doesn't then you need to work out why as the rest of the guide will not work.

• Go into MO2 Settings and in the NEXUS tab enter your login Information.

NOTE

To resolve download manager issue from Nexusmod site I recommend deleting the nxmhandler.ini from C:\ModOrganizer2 and C:\ModOrganizer2Data then run nxmhandler.exe in C:\ModOrganizer2 folder to generate the nxmhandlers.ini files

NOTE

If you have issues with your profiles you can try (make sure you backup) deleting C:\ModOrganizer2Data\Falout4\ModOrganizer.ini when you restart MO2 it will remake it.
