BTW, I have plenty of mods in my own game, I've never cleaned my DLC's and:ġ. If your mods aren't detecting your game files, then I suspect your have a much bigger problem than dirty DLC's. Also, to take this one step further, if you do a file integrity check through Steam, it will fail and Steam will now download new files, putting you right back where you started. There are conflicting views on this but cleaning the DLC's is generally not recommended. In Vortex, the DLCs are flagged as Dirty and they are not detected by the Mods, you need to use the FO4EditQuickAutoClean to clean them, however, this never happened to me before, and now every time I download the FO4 from Steam the DLCs are like this, I´ve even formatted my PC and reinstall everything but didn't solve the problem. You'd be surprised how many people bough the FO3 GOTY edition and never played the DLCs because they never knew how to activate them.Originally posted by Brainstormepilog:i'm not sure what you mean, there is a function in fo4 edit to clean esp/esm but as far as i know it's not recommended to use it for the base game or dlcs, i don't know what you mean by broken dlcs but that shouldn't happen when loading via steam


It is done this way because Fallout 3 required manual activation from the players' parts, and an alarming number of people never realised it.

ESM files no matter what, even if they are unticked.Įssentially, no matter what you do on those ESMs in the Data Files menu, all official DLC files will be loaded regardless, without any user input. This game works in a way that you do not have to check those files in the Data Files section, because all DLCs are supplied with a. There are also ESP files, where P is for Plug-in. ESM is Elder Scrolls Master file format, since the engine is a refurbished TES IV: Oblivion engine (which in turn was just a slightly patchworked Morrowind engine).Īs Master files, they contain the more important data, the game files themselves.
