How the do I install the mods I just downloaded?
It is highly recommended to use a Mod Manager, There are a couple linked at the top of the thread.
First however you will need to edit your Fallout4.ini to enable mods. To make it easy download this Fallout 4 Ini Editor On the second tab, titled Mods/Puglins.txt check Enable File Select, and the Check All box below it.


Using NMM To isntall your mods. (Once Mod Organizer is updated that is the preffered method)

Could this be a problem with my load order? I'm using such-and-such mods.
It's hard to diagnose a problem when you only list a couple of the bigger mods you're using. try to be specific about your mod list when asking for help.

My game CTDs before I even see the loading screen!
This is usually caused when a plugin file (.esp) is looking for its parent or master file (.esm) but fails, either because the master file isn't where it should be, or because it's broken.


If you do not see something that should be in here please send me a PM, I will try to keep the OP up to date as often as possible.
