Fallout 4 Save Cleaning Tool
Getting Vortex to Manage Fallout 4 - posted in Vortex Support: Hi All, I put Fallout 4 and NMM down last May, after 700 hours of FO4 modding with NMM. Just starting back to find out F4SE and the Game were updated killing my mods, been there, done that. I tried fixing with NMM. Went too far and made a bigger mess. Decided to start from scratch with Vortex. Heres what I learned during the time.
Setting the right load order for your TES IV: Oblivion, TES V: Skyrim, TES V: Skyrim Special Edition, TES V: Skyrim VR, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4 and Fallout 4 VR mods is a crucial step to enjoying a stable modded game. The Load Order Optimisation Tool (LOOT) can help with that, by providing automated load order sorting that's simple to use and fully customisable. All SPECIAL attributes set to 4. Both genders with lore names (Nate Howard and Nora Howard). I've already seen a 'quicksave' upload, but only before vault exit.
Preparation
Before installing the mods, a few other things have to be setup first
1 - If you haven't already, sign up at the Nexus. (LINK)
It's free, and it takes 2 minutes. The Nexus is a great site for mods in general, so it's definitely worth your time.
2 - Downloading and install NexusModManager, 'NMM'. (LINK)
*Install the 'NMM Community Edition'
3 - Download and install 'Fallout 4 Script Extender'. (LINK)
Download the latest version, unpack the file and move the content of the F4SE folder into the Fallout 4 game-folder.
Inside the Fallout 4 game-folder, rename 'Fallout4Launcher.exe' to e.g.: 'Fallout4Launcher.exe.backup'.
Then rename 'f4se_loader.exe' to 'Fallout4Launcher.exe'.

4 - Download and install FO4Edit. (LINK)
Unpack and copy the files to any directory, then make a shortcut to 'FO4Edit.exe'.
This tool is used to clean up Bethesda's 'lazy edits' from the official DLC-files. See description in the Cleaning section. (LINK)
5 - Download and install 'Fallout 4 Save Game Editor'.(LINK) *Optional but recommended
Download the latest version and unpack the files to any directory. Make a shortcut to 'F4SGE.exe'.
*If you plan to start a new game after the F4BP installation, this file is not necessary. If you want to continue a saved game, then you probably need this tool. It's used to remove old script data from a save-game file. Unfortunately Fallout 4 store all used scripts in the save-game files, so if you remove a mod that contain scripts, the scripts stay in the save-game and can cause all kinds of errors. This tool can remove these scripts, so you can still use your old save-game file.
7 - Make some coffee and get ready for several hours of downloading and installing. It's a long time, but in the end you will get a result that otherwise would take several months to obtain.
