How do you install F4SE after installing MO2 ? #444

Hi, all! I've managed to correctly install MO2 (it launches whenever i start Fallout 4 inside Steam) but i don't know how to install F4SE, an important requirements to load mods. Thus far i've tried:

downloading and enabling it inside MO2, resulting in F4SE not being loaded.
manually installing it by extracting the content of its folder inside Fallout 4's, resulting in F4SE being loaded (you can check it in-game clicking on settings) but MO2 being entirely skipped when the game is launched through Steam. I've also noticed that the installer provided here will automatically download F4SE and place it in a different directory instead of inside the Data folder, but i don't know what to do from here!

Thanks in advance!

The way I launched Fallout 4 was by deleting F4SE from the root folder, starting Fallout 4 through Steam, then adding F4SE back into the root folder when MO2 loaded, then adding it to the list of applications in MO2's menu. Hope this fixes your problem.

Just in case anyone searches for this (like I did) and cannot find a solution that works, I've finally managed to work around this. You can ignore or delete the f4se_0_06_21 folder that this script creates inside the game directory. Install the newest F4SE as you normally would, but rename f4se_loader.exe to something like f4se_loader_alt.exe then add that binary to MO2. Everything works as originally anticipated.

If it looks stupid, but it works, then it's not stupid.

Installer should automatically handle F4SE, which got updated in the latest release. If the latest release can't get it working out of the box, let me know and I'll reopen the issue.

Hello, I managed to get F4SE working.

Move everything from f4se_0_06_21 folder, to the game's root folder
Overwrite if needed
In MO2, add f4se_loader.exe executable
Enjoy (You can delete the empty F4se folder)

At least it worked on my PC.
