Steam Launch Options for F4 Script Extender?

[Fryman]

This might be a dumb question, but is it possible to launch the game with the Fallout 4 Script Extender executable (f4se_loader.exe) by fiddling with the launch options in the game's properties menu? Apparently some of my mods won't work unless I launch it with the special .exe so I was wondering if it's possible to make my computer launch the script extender when I press "Play" on Steam.

Just put a F4 Script extender launch .exe on the desktop and play the game from there. Don't go through Steam at all. I do the same thing with Skyrim SE.

You can add F4SE as a new game by clicking on the "Add Game Button" and adding the executable ("f4se_loader.exe") as a non-Steam game.

You can also use the Vortex Manager, which has a button specifically for F4SE and start the game with Vortex:

There is also Bilago's Configuration Tool, which offers a GUI for many of the .ini-file settings and which can be configured as a game launcher with its own background image and it, too, can launch F4SE:

Last but not least can you also create a desktop shortcut to "f4se_loader.exe" and start the game from there.

Yes, I'm aware of all the other ways to do it. What I'm specifically asking is if there's a way to load with the script extender by clicking "Play" in Steam, like a command line I could add under the launch options in the game properties menu.

Have you tried this one yet?

Yes, but can you explain why you want to do it that way? Not criticizing....merely curious.

That's what I'm looking for. Thanks for the tip!

I don't get what you're asking?

Why not add F4SE as a game to Steam, replace the artwork to Fallout 4 artwork, then just launch that instead? I used to do this, works fine.

You can find custom artwork for Steam games here.
