About this mod
I recently got this Lookup failed error when modding my game and this shows how I fixed it myself.
- Permissions and credits
[Premise]
I recently modded my game again after a few years of not playing it and I got a Lookup Failed! on multiple menus mainly the Vault 111 jumpsuit and the workshop menus. This will show you how I fixed it.
[Some UI mods I am using]
-Fall UI
-XDI (Extended Dialogue Interface)
-Level Up Menu EX
[Tools Needed]
-BAE (Bethesda Archive Extractor) (or any bethesda archive extraction software but this is my preference)
-ModOrganizer2 (this can be done with any mod manager but this is what I will use in this guide)
[Guide]
[Extracting the strings files]
-Navigate to your Fallout 4 Data Directory. (mine is in C:\Program Files (x86)\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data)
-Locate the "Fallout4 - Interface.ba2" and if you have the DLC like I do locate the ones for each dlc like below "DLCCoast - Main.ba2", "DLCNukaWorld - Main.ba2", "DLCRobot - Main.ba2", "DLCworkshop01 - Main.ba2", "DLCworkshop02 - Main.ba2", "DLCworkshop03 - Main.ba2"
-Inside those archives select none and then look inside "Strings/" Folder and select your language. For me its these 3
-"Fallout4_en.DLSTRINGS"
-"Fallout4_en.ILSTRINGS"
-"Fallout4_en.STRINGS"
Extract those files and repeat for each of the DLC you own
[Making a mod]
For me I use ModOrganizer2 so creating mod files inside the manager might be different
I have a category Named "UI & UX" inside mod organizer under that category in a empty space I right click and select "Create Empty Mod".
For my current setup I separated the Base game and the DLC into separate mods this isn't needed but I did it for personal organization reasons.
For example I named the first mod "F04 Strings - Vanilla (EN)" and a second empty mod "FO4 Strings - DLC (EN)".
Next I right clicked the empty mod and clicked "Open in Explorer" and then I dragged the extracted Strings folder into that Empty mod folder. I repeated the same process for the "FO4 Strings - DLC (EN)" Empty mod and enabled them both and put them in the bottom of the UI & UX category and enabled them both.
For me this fixed the Lookup Failed! error for the vault suit and the workshop menus and any other areas it occured.
Hope this helped. I figured out this since for me there was no FallUI patch uploaded so this should fix the issue with any UI mods your are using. Feel free to comment or anything of that sort.
