Problem with new updates! Knocked off SS2, Can't Reinstall.

[DigiAkuma]

So here's my dilemma. I noticed through the Mods Section in Game there were new updates for SS2 as well as SS2 Extended & SS2 Ch2. SS2 just as well went through no problem but when I updated SS2 Ch 2, I got "Operation could not be completed", and it basically knocked off SS2 as well. Now as a result, my game saves I can't continue because it heavily used SS2 on my settlements. This also spilled onto the SS2 Main itself where I can't Enable even after all my Redownloading. Help! What must I do?

This happens basically every update if you use the ingame thing. There's some wierd problem with it where it both thinks there's an updated version but doesn't actually give it to you. It says on your screen there that it's trying to get Version 50, the newest version of the mod as per the news post over here is actually Version 53: https://simsettlements.com/site/ind...2-1-0-better-city-planning-is-now-live.22686/
It's like the systems at Bethesda's end "publish" the update before it's actually available on the download or something.

Only solution is to wait a few more hours for Bethesda to catch up.

Fortunately my Current Save is up to Where There's Smoke Quest. I believe that's still SS2 Ch1 Territory right? Also I was using SS2 extended but I cut it out. My save game is still operating with SS2 Ch1 Only. Any attempt to update SS2 Ch2 I get this...

Exactly how long do we have to wait? First SS2 update messed up, now it's working but my Chapter 2 just bonked.

I'm done with Nexus/Vortex modding... had even worse problems when updating this mod (I recently had to scrap a game alltogether because an upgrade messed up and even scrubbing every mod out and reinstalling them didn't fix it)

Sad that the Bethesda mod server or whatever causes this happens... it's every time they put out an update it seems

If your using the bathesda site for mods it’s always screwed up. I’ve never had issue updating from nexus so if you don’t want to go through them not sure but nobody said you have to use vortex to use nexus mods you can use mo2 with nexus as well. Personally I’d never use or trust bathesdas integrated mod organizer or mod download section it’s been trash since day 1

Also you are looking for version 53 of ss2 and 24 of chapter 2

I'm just updating in-game (on PC) when it says a new version exists... right now it's saying SS2 is Ver 51 and Chapter 2 is 20 (and chapter 2 won't download successfully right now)... and SS2 Extended downloads but claims it's missing files required to run.

Guess I've gotta wait or start digging around manually updating stuff... which I'll probably just wait because I'm lazy :P

Yeah, it's almost midday now since last night when I had this problem. SS2 still reads as Version 51 & SS2 Ch2 still reads as version 20. Also it may not mean much but SS2 Extended still reads as Version 2 and while I can "Enable" it, I get that message as you can see above. Not the "operation cannot be completed", but "cannot be installed because it depends on files that aren't present".

I could switch to Nexus/Vortex, but what's that gonna do to my current game? I'm afraid I'll have to start all over from scratch, will I? I mean how does the game look for the mods when it's from the In-Game Mods system Vs. Nexus/Vortex? I never really had overly complex mods under that before.

For now, until it refreshes to the proper version, I'm not too far into my game where it'll break. Like not into SS2 Ch2 Quests yet. As I stated in the first post, I'm at Where There's Smoke Quest.

Swapping to nexus either with mo2 or vortex will require a new game. Personally I use vortex at the moment I’ve used mod organizer 2 as well both have advantages and drawbacks but both are 100% better then not using a mod organizer platform at all.

At the moment I’m using vortex because I was in the closed beta of the collections system that nexus is putting together to make modding easier. I don’t support one of old the other so I’d say pick one and stick with it and learn how it works as both are great at what they do.

Also @kinggath so maybe he will see the files still have not updated yet in case there’s a issue or something.

On second thought, screw it. Just made the jump to Vortex....again. Last time I used it was long ago with New Vegas.

For the moment, I'm just gonna go down the list of all the Mods I had been using under Bethesda Mods Section.
Just got finished going down the list. Now I'm downloading the SS2 Mods via Vortex. Couldn't find the Improved Artillery Strike in Vortex, but I never really used it so I went without. And there was no Buffed Minutemen Militia 2, just the first one.

Guess there was no SS2 Extended in Vortex like it was in the Mods Section in Game, but there's the Wasteland Venturers SS2 Addon, so I'm gonna download that. --::Edit:: Nvm, found SS2 Extended--

Just a FYI not saying this is perfect but if you want to keep a mod from the bathesda site go to the data folder in Fo4 under the steam files. Look for the esp and files relating to the mod you want copy them both over to a blank folder somewhere then use 7zip or other zip file system to archive them name the mod what ever you want and it can be installed manually through vortex or mo2. That’s how I get those couple mods that are not on nexus as well. Hopefully that’s easy enough to understand.

Thanks for the tip, but as I said I found most everything under Vortex. Everything else I found earlier more updated version or I could live without (Even though I had Artillery Set up, I hardly ever used it after all)

I’m on Xbox and the new update just rolled out in my country but now all my mods are gone and I can’t even find the ones I was using they just aren’t on here? Also ss2 chapter 2 says operation cannot be completed wtf
