How To Install F4SE - Fallout 4 Script Extender (for 1.10.984 Fallout Update)

By request I am making a video showing you how to install Fallout 4 Script Extender, or F4SE for short, as not only did Bethesda Gaming Studios update Fallout 4 on 25 April 2024, they also released a HotFix Patch on 13 May 2024. By lunch time 13 May 2024, F4SE was ready to go!
Perhaps you're new to modding, or just having installed Fallout 4 Script Extender in forever. This is the video for you. F4SE Manual Installation

Tysm for the baby steps haha, I've downloaded F4SE so many times, and updated myself but this time was giving me issues. Appreciate it, finally got it to work!

Thank you so much! I have been wanting to install F4SE but the mod page wasn't so helpful with the how-tos. This is an awesome explanation that even a noob like me can understand! Have a great day.

ONE THING YOU FORGOT. Copy the script extendor data folder into the fallout game folder. Your welcome AAF pervs.

[DOT_Z]

For some reason it says it can't find fallout 4 even though i have them in the same folder (the game file)

Xdi is not running make sure your xdi.dll is in your data/f4se/plugins directory

Hey, so this didn't work at all. The f4se loader was in the folder inside the fallout4 folder. The f4se needs to be in the same folder as the fallout 4 exe. When i try to put the lancher in the folder, it doesn't work, saying i need administrative to do it. (Im the own of the laptop) ove put the files as run as administrator, and it still doesn't work. Idk why they put the files in another folder when you downloaded them because now im having this issue.

[andersbengtsson]

my file only say "loader" theres no exe, it worked a few minutes ago, it launched the game at least, but it didnt launch it the next time, says its installed in the wrong folder but its not

[elhyper]

I've got a really weird error, and honestly i don't know what else to do now

i've done everything i could remember, installed the f4se, reinstalled the game, but for some reason, when i run the f4se with the mods like the mod configuration menu, it just doesn't load.
its not just that one mod, it also happens with f4se dependant mods like the extended dialogue interface, and the weirdest thing is that it actually IS the f4se thats running, because it shows the version i'm running

i seriously don't know what to do anymore, if i could get any help i'd really appreciate it :(

i Get steam error application load error I thought doing this method would bypass this but it did not. I have followed many tutorial videos to stop this error message but it keeps happening, any advice?

[Ryden]

So why dont we put this in a mod manager no more ??
