Found how to load fallout4vr.esm in creation kit

Nice find!

Hello!

Using the creation kit fixes , you can see a log when using creation kit. It complains about missing strings when loading fallout4vr esm then closes.

If you extract the strings folder from the fallout4vr shaders bsa into the data folder , fallout 4 vr esm will load.

Download creation kit fixes.

Extract the strings folder from fallout 4 vr shaders ​bsa.

You can now load fallout4vr.esm without it crashing.

Didn't see this posted anywhere, maybe helpful for someone ?

Ohhhh that's interesting. Wyre bash always complains about missing localisation strings when you run it for fallout 4, could this be the thing its referring to?

Do you mean when you run it for fallout 4 vr ? Or the base game ?

FO4VR - the last 2 versions of wyre bash had (limited) support for FO4VR built in

It will disable all of the dlc plugins because it thinks they arent compatible (technically true), but as long as you remember to re-enable them after it works just fine.

Thanks. I had a lot of problems with bash. Funny they don’t disable Unofficial Patch.

What kind of problems? I only use it for my levelled lists and it worked just fine for me personally

Ahh okay cool. Is that for just making patches ? I honestly haven't used wyre bash much. Last was oblivion years ago but I don't remember why hahah

Yeah. So if you are using any modded weapons/armour/items, these won't be integrated well in the leveled lists unless you patch it. You can just do a merge patch with xedit, but apparently its not very good at handling level lists.

The ideal would be to create a merged patch with xedit (right click on the top most pluging>other>create merged patch, ignore the warning, call it FO4Merged), then expand the merge patch at the bottom, delete both the 'leveled X' things that come up (give it 20 seconds after you expand it to make sure you get all leveled things that come up). Quit and save

Open wyre bash, it will create a bashed patch 0 automatically, but right click that, click 'rebuild patch' make sure only leveled lists are ticked when the prompt comes up, ok & quit.

Doing a merge/bash seems to massively increase stability and reduce risk of CTDs. You'll need to repeat the procedure (but delete FO4Merged first from your data folder) any time you modify load order.

Before you even do any of that though I'd recommend cleaning your dlc files. I posted a video on mod cleaning on here that explains it a few days ago

This is almost identical to the fix I posted for modding the power armor hud in VR . Fallout 4 vr ini has new entries that specifically load the fallout4vr strings. (I sent this as a bug report to vortex months ago).

You can see the set of new actions that creation kit says does not exist in the current exe ( fallout 4 flat version is what its referring to) in the creation kit console when loading the fallout 4 vr esm properly as posted above.

You can see a action where it forces the VR player to first person when using a furniture ( base game forced you to use third person )

So, this helps running creation kit stuff or what is it? Pardon the ignorance.

You cannot load fallout4vr.esm in the creation kit without this fix, it will just crash.

So yeah if you ever wanted to load fallout4vr.esm in creation kit, that's what this post is about.

Might help with mod authors, I'm just a tinkerer haha

Drama drama drama. I don't really care. I'm just here to post information

Yes, you should post it to an active subreddit that has better formatting and mod creators

EDIT: AH I see the abusive new moderator xmindweaver or w/e banned me because I was pointing out facts. Don’t support this moderator or this subreddit

Honestly I think fracturing the already small fallout vr community is a bad idea. But whatever.
