FOR EVERYONE WHO IS CRASHED IN THE MENU: Remove files that start with ccBG from the DATA folder. It's the newer creation club stuff that causes the crashes. Only ccBG files are needed to be removed, others are fine

[@xzylongaming2731]

Thank you sir i was about to give up after so many hours of trying to get this to work. You are a lifesaver. ❤

[@WarLocked1523]

Yea, I believe he either mistakingly put those ccBG files into the respective folder, or it didn't mess his game up? Either way, GREAT comment, this saved my run.

[@Kill2Kiss]

Thank you so much, I watched another video and they glossed over a lot of the plugging in process for the files so I didn't know where to put everything. You showed where to put them all individually and that helped out a lot. Thank you so much!!

man I wish I saw your video first. I did the snail guys tutorial and of course he skips over the one part that I don't know how to just do since im not tech savy. Your video actually shows the whole process and each click. Now my console steam thing shows errors and I can't even download the depots anymore. I just started playing F04 after years and my first time with mods. I appreciate the video its great work

[@tomassedlacek3743]

Thanks very much for this great tutorial. I needed to show which files belong to which file. Other tutorials weren't even showing it. And it was not working for me because of it. Your tutorial helped. I had another problem though. I had an error with entry point and could not even start the game through f4se. I found out that it was because my file depot_377163 was not fully downloaded and contained 12GB (even tho steam showed me that it was downloaded). The file should have 18GB. So I downloaded it again, checked the size and proceeded with your tutorial and the error was solved and I was able to launch the game.

[@baronbruiz4841]

Dead ass a life saver

[@mfvicli]

Good tutorial. I'll add from what people were saying on my video that there's a chance for crashes if someone is playing on a different language, and there are specific depot codes for said languages. You can find them on the F4SE Nexus page.. If the download fails, change server, delete the stuff in the 'content' folder, and then restart steam and try again.

[@ItsDeaconYT]

Just to clarify these issues: Don't delete creation club folder, delete the creation club files in the "DATA" these begin with "ccBG" Also if your'e getting an error in console "Depot download failed : missing license for depots" its probably because you dont have the DLC each of these depots include something separate. Read the NMM forum about this to find which ones. Additionally if your'e using NMM go to "Dashboard"> Scroll down to "Tools"> next to Fallout 4 Script Extender click the 3 dots and "set as primary" this is so when you launch via NMM it will auto launch F4SE

[@tokiio7415]

Dude you saved my life haha Thank you

[@Rocko2552]

Thanks for the help. Here's some additional info that may help someone stuck. I did have to do a couple of things to get my game back to normal. 1) As mentioned in the description above, I had to delete the creation club files. Those are files in the data folder that start with "ccBG" 2) I had to reinstall all texture mods that replaced loose files.

[@SteelFerrett]

Are texture mods broken? I thought mine were fine, I thought it was just a problem with a HD resolution textures pushed out by Bethesda

[@SteelFerrett]

And how I pin this

[@Rocko2552]

@@SteelFerrettThe update seems to modify texture files. I am using Fallout 4 HD 2K Textures and when I loaded in, everything was purple, until I reinstalled it. Also, I was using Proto Vault Suit and was naked when loaded in. Had to reinstall the mod to get it back.

So installing 37763 I ran into the problem of the depo file having WAY to much in it as it was just an entire new installation of Fallout 4, so idk what i did wrong but I tested it as writing this and I indeed did install a second copy of the game. (edit: should I start the whole thing over, like in deleting Fallout and trying fresh?)

[@SteelFerrett]

You need to copy the directories exactly the same, if the depo file has a data folder and other stuff in it for example you put the stuff that isn’t in folders into the fallout 4 game file, stuff in data folder will go into your fallout data folder, and the folders inside data folder go into the same corresponding. If you have the depos fresh still you should be good, but if not just redo step 1, I think you won’t have to redownload the actual game though
