I do not have fallout4.ini

[Monkerlotus]

I have checked documents >my games >Fallout4 as well as steam folders, ive used file search, no luck.

Steam verifying did not fix it, I can't install mods without this

have you startet the game minimum once? because the game writes an ini if you start it once.

yes, i have nearly 60 hours into it, no idea why there isnt a file, if there is, it is named incorrectly and not in the correct folder

Ehh - Just a idea, but do you have by chance a file in \users\"my user name"\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\ that's is just called Fallout4 ? It might sound silly, but some people do not know that Windows by default hides extentions, and so you won't find files ending with .ini .
If indeed extensions are not shown, you have to change that in your settinings.

Otherwise - I don't know

I have that file, but its not the ini, nearly no text in it at all except for some minor visual things

It might have been hidden by mistake.

double checked, doesnt seem to be hidden, i may try opting out of the beta updates and doing a verification in a moment though.

This method worked for me. Thank you.

not pirated, private profile keeps the russian scammer spam out, i figured this issue out a while ago anyway, it had to do with having fallout installed on a different HD than steam, the folders just got put in a wierd location for some reason.

how do u find them and put them where they need to go? im trying to use nexus mod manager and it keeps saying cannot find INI. also how do i check if my extensions are hidden or whatever. your help would be greatly appreciated

I know this is an old thread but I found it just now searching google for Fallout4.ini location.

I'm using Windows 7
In the game install directory is Fallout4_Default.ini, don't bother changing that file. Look under Documents\My Games\Fallout4\Fallout4.ini and make your changes to that file.

I had to add bInvalidateOlderFiles=1 under [Archive] to get scripts I'd written in Creation Kit to run....

[craigsters]

You have to completely launch the gane fully once for the Fallout 4 ini to be created, and I mean either to the bathroom scene where he says war never changes, the only file the game sometimes forgets to create is the custom ini file and that file you sometimes have to create yourself

[Lunchbox151]

None of this works for me, my .ini file is named Fallout4_Default and even though it is an ini file, its designated file type is "Configuration settings" so the mod manager doesnt read it right.

[=EGC= kansasterry]

Have you looked to see if the files are located in your "Documents\My Games\Fallout4" folder I had NMM tell me I needed the files but they were there what it wanted was a file called Fallout4Custom.ini that went missing. I found this out when I copied it from my backup copy back to the folder and it stopped telling me the .ini file was missing. My folder has 3 .ini files.

Fallout4.ini
Fallout4Custom.ini
Fallout4Prefs.ini

It seems if one of these goes missing that NMM looks at or wants to edit it will complain about the .ini file being gone.

This actually helped me find my .ini file lol

Oddly enough it just doesn't show .ini on it but still has the info i needed, so thanks regardless!

For Some Reason The Compatibility Tab under properties just is not there for me. None of the suggestions to fix The Blurry Image are working for me. Would Someone be Willing to Screen Share with me using Teamviewer? It would be very appreciated.
