problem with weapon mods.

[Stellar Fox]

all mods work except for weapon mods. when i install them through nexus mod manager everything is fine but in game the weapons are just invisible, i can only equip them if i use player.additem but i can't shoot and if i drop them they disappear completely. i searched on google for fixes but none of them worked

Assuming you've made the proper edits to your Fallout4Custom.ini file, launch NMM and UNINSTALL, yes uninstall just ONE of the problem weapon mods. Exit NMM and then launch it as ADMIN. Now install the one mod and check it in game. If all is ok, do the same to the other problem mods.

i have made proper edits to all the files needed. i'm gonna uninstall and reinstall the mod and see if it works. (i'm trying with wattz laser gun)

Make sure you run NMM as ADMIN like I said.

Alright just finished, the weapon is still invisible. I can mod it and use it in vats, it has all the custom sounds but I cant see it equipped or on the ground and cant fire it manually

Check to make sure the mod is Not set to read only. Open NMM, click the folder at the top and choose "Open NMM's mods folder". Then go to a problem mod, right click and choose properties. On the General tab make sure the mod is not read only.

Also try, clicking on the NMM Tools drop down menu and "Reset Archive Invalidation".

What did you add to your Fallout4Custom.ini to get nexus mods to work?

I have added an archive section with bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=

Im gonna try to do what you said now

Edit: nothing works, I guess im just gonna give up on gun mods

[ronr42]

OK, so your Custom.ini reads like this, right?

[Display]
iLocation X=0
iLocation Y=0
[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=

If so, that is correct.

Yes

What we have posted and you have done should have the mod working. Try asking on the weapon mods page.

If you get an answer from the mod author and it works, please post the solution here. The invisible weapons problem comes up quite often and I would like a definitive answer as to what causes it.

I have no weapon mods so this is not something I have experience dealing with.

Good Luck.

i just installed an ak47 mod and it is working fine. i guess there are just some files missing from the wattz laser gun mod, i'm gonna try to download some other weapon mods too
