#f4se

If you’re like me you see the boring icons for things like the F4SE launcher or Archive2 with squinty eyes of disapproval. Here’s a mini tutorial for changing the icon of any application you like (modern Windows only). First you need to get/make an ico file for the icon’s appearance. There’s a handy collection of Fallout themed icons available on Nexusmods.com. I used the holotape icon (icon_55.png) for Archive2. 

First convert your img file to an ico file using an online converter (just google png to ico converter for example). Store the ico file where you like. Right click on the .exe of the application you want to change and select Properties. In the bottom center is a button to Change Icon, select that and you can browse to your newly created ico file to select it. Say OK on both screens. You should now see a new icon!

If you want your F4SE launcher icon to look like the default Fallout launcher icon you can skip the creating ico step and go right to the icon changing step. Browse to the Fallout 4 directory (above Data) and select the Fallout 4 main .exe file. It will automagically get the embedded ico file from that .exe and allow you to apply it.

I had really motivated plans to work on some serious icons and avatars for use in RP, as well as taking and editing really cool screenshots for my banner and other posts.

But of course even after reinstalling Fallout 4 FROM SCRATCH, F4SE isn’t supporting my version for some reason.

There was a post on the Steam forums from 2 days ago that said that F4SE had finally been updated to fit the current runtime version for Fallout 4, and I was hoping that would stop my black screen crashes from bootup.

But NOPE.

Game works fine on its own, until I install F4SE. Then even running the basic or extended versions of the game results in a crash on startup, no matter what setting I apply.

all the menus are normal, and none of the mods are actually running, and eve the enb isnt working
