Attempting to get pre-release access to test

The mod has been released on Thursday, and unfortunately there's quite a few reports from users who try to use an existing Vortex profile with it that it may unintentionally disable FOLON's .esm files in load order as well as revert their Fallout4.ini to stock, removing required assets and causing numerous issues.

Here's an archive with files that FOLON installs to user directories and requires to work properly: folon_inis.zip

Looks like a dedicated game type should be added to Vortex that marks these ESMs as native similarly to how it's done for Enderal at least, with possibly other fixes to ensure INI files are merged safely.

The biggest problem I've noticed is that FOLON currently has to completely hijack the main FO4.

Enderal was able to change the folders used in <Documents>\My Games and %LOCALAPPDATA% and also used a copy of the base game files that it needed. This was achieved with the SKSE plugin SkyrimRedirector. As far as I can tell, no such plugin currently exists for Fallout 4, where such a F4SE plugin would fix the above mentioned problems.

Currently the only way to be able to play both FO4 and FOLON without either affecting the other is to install FOLON in a MO2 instance that is setup to use a separate copy of FO4 (a.k.a. Stock Game)

Edit: I'm aware that if the profiles are setup correctly this can also be done in Vortex, but depending on the amount of mods to deploy with either profile, it's not a quick switch over.
