Nexus Mod Manager is the easiest way to install many mods for Fallout 4, as it eliminates most of the hassle of installing mods manually. You went wrong installing the mod, most likely when marking you proto folder as read only.The video above explains how to install mods via NMM.īefore Installing any mods, follow the instructions above to back up your game files and enable modding for Fallout 4.
