It appears that Bethesda is now offering an account "display name" renaming service. If you change your Bethesda.net display name, you must also manually update it in perkloadoutmanager.ini in your Data folder for PLM to continue recognizing your loadouts. Steps to do this are provided in the Description.
Version 2.20 is compatible with the HUD for the June 20 2023 Update. If you don't use the HUD loadout display, I believe the HUDless optional download is still working without issue. If there are issues with it let me know and I'll update it.
I'll make improvements to the loadout functionality soon.
This is one of the best mods, I cannot live without it. Ever since the June 2 update if I try to Pick a Perk, when I choose a card it locks the game up and I have to restart the game and disable the mod, then I can Pick a Perk card and then enable the mod. Not sure if its because I have windows 11, none of my other friends have the issue. I am using Quick Configuration Mod Mgr.
I don't think it's not frozen per se. just waiting for input and doesn't let you back out of the save perk loadout. It happens to me when I level up and have to choose a new perk card.
I am curious how bad this mod is going to break with the December update and all the Perk changes... and is Keretus still maintaining it? This is probably my #1 mod in the game and it would be devastating to lose it. I've sent numerous donations your way Keretus and am happy to send more if this gets updated for the upcoming patch. Thanks for everything you do for the community.
So where as before, the HUDless version worked as far as the 'freezing' issue goes in the perk card layout, as of today it no longer works. (IE freezes) and Idk which mod(I tried disabling everything BUT PLM And STILL Freeze) but I am using the exact file I was using before where no issues(Before as in this morning before I was trying to fix a map mod)
So I do not know how it caused it, but figure it was some kind of crossover with enabling/disabling mods and somehow related to another hud /buff mod(but I cannot track down) - With ONLY PLM (The hudless version) it causes freeze.(It also freezes with most recent version which is NOT hudless)
Am somewhat stumped. Like I said, before this morning It was working fine.
Edit, also find it really, really odd the version numbers... how is 2.4 from YEARS ago but 2.2 is the latest?
Edit 2: More damn confusion, even when installing the NO HUD version(Deleting the old one first, running game WITHOUT PLM installed) and then adding it after(Again the NO HUD version) game still launches with the HUD version.... (Showing loadout at bottom)
I am really stumped, cuz this should not be the case.
If you're using a mod manager to install it's the mod manager causing the HUD version to remain installed. If that's the case I recommend manual install. If you open the perkloadoutmanager.ba2 in archive2 the hudless version only has perksmenu.swf in it that's how you can be sure you have the hudless version installed.
As of the latest update the Right Trigger on controller no longer cycles forward for me. Left Trigger still works to cycle back though. Hudless version
---Ignoire the following. "Search Comments" for 'keyboard' found it :)
I want to setup a SteamDeck to manage the switching of profiles. Everything is working great emulating "{tab}" "T" and then the Profile key (with 250ms delays in between). The problem is Profiles 10, 11, and 12. What keys do I press to activate those?
----ok, 0 is for 10 but that still leaves 11 and 12.
Good news is as mentioned below Mapex's Fanfare Free mod fixes the issues with the HUD.
Bad news is this fix will only really matter for humans, because even using the bridge to properly format new loadouts it seems PLM just can't recognize new perks. Will have to wait for SFE to hopefully get updated so we can try saving loadouts in game to force anything otherwise this mod will need a ghoul friendly update.
SFE updated today, still not work. All the ghoul perks cannot be loaded. It says 'slot saved successfully' but when close and open the perk panel, press the load button again, ghoul perks missing
I've made an unofficial fork to support both the Ghoul perks and the V2 Nukes and Dragons build URLs (and auto-convert your existing loadout slots' URLs to the new version).
I want to refrain from publishing on Nexus as this is Keretus's mod so if you are interested in a version of PLM to tide you over until an official update then please DM @Mapekz on Discord.
Really hope Mapekz can get permission to take over management of PLM... and esp with (what it seems like..) changes to perks each update now, it seems like PLM NEEDS some attention and something fierce. SFE also could do with another pair of eyes on it now and then, but at least it still generally gets updates quick (Even though Keretus, at least AFAIK, no longer even plays FO76, he still takes time to update SFE so that is pretty solid of him, but someone else helping would mesh PLM and SFE properly again.) I don't mind PLM Bridge(its actually pretty swell to use tbh, even with N&D being somewhat bleh with changes) and wouldn't mind if it became a perma-fix sorta situation, but last few update, and at very least, the current PTS version, will require more changes.
Thanks both of you for this (Esp Keretus for years and years of keeping SFE current even when not actually playing game since 2019 or so)
If you've come here looking to find out if this is the mod that's breaking your hud icons after the ghoul update, the answer seems to be yes. Hopefully we can get a fix this time around otherwise this mod might finally be toast.
Unless I'm mistaken, this has been an issue for a while. I always use the "No Hud" version. You can't what slot you're using unless you go into your perks page, but it won't mess with Hud elements.
I've been using the no-hud version the entire time. Before the update it worked fine but afterwards even with the no hud version it still removes the icons.
@anonymoushamster No, it hasn't been broken like this. I have been using this mod since i started playing and I have never had my active effects disappear. The ghoul update completely broke them.
Correction: the outdated mod broke them. Can't expect the game to work around mods. Take Fallout 4 for it example. No patch in years. Then the show came out. Then a "next gen" patch (nothing next gen about it). Bye mods that won't get updated. Many had to go back a patch...which you cannot do for this game.
By the way, the 'backend' of this mod broke sometime ago. Matter of time it completely break. Your perks were basically using another site to save it and would use it to recall your builds. That site changed how it worked.
If the back end was broke like you say then the mod wouldn't work at all. The back end includes functionality, communication and more, this mods still has that, as it still works. Yes it needs an update. Though, it bothers me when people make major mods for live service games and then expect them to stay working.
smh, this game and it's spaghetti code lol. The HUD enabled version broke for me many version updates ago. It was removing my on screen objective diamonds so I moved to the no-hud version and it's been working for me since then. I hadn't gone back to the Hud-enabled version so it may have been indeed been working recently and I just didn't know. Other UI modifying mods have broken other elements as well such so I've been keeping those t a minimum.
SFE updated today. Human perks work fine, but those new ghoul perks cannot load correctly. When saving it says 'slot saved successfully', but when loading the slot again, all ghoul perks are unloaded.
Same for me, it took me a few goes of saving a new loadout to figure out it was kicking out the ghoul perk cards each time. @zhaoqianpro have you got your Glow Bar and Feral meter to show up, mines still not showing and I've disabled improved health bars and still nothing.
Mod needs to be updated to actually recognize new perks in order to actually load them, without an update it can see the N&D codes but has no context for what they actually mean. Until now we've just been lucky that existing perks that were reworked kept the same id, if they'd added new perks for Onslaught instead of reworking the pistol perks those would be in the same situation.
This is what happens when people make mods for live service games and don't keep them updated with the games new features. Many mods are like this for Fallout 76.
Cannot choose new cards or upgrade cards without the UI breaking; could be a mod conflict but when I disable Perk Mananger I get 0 issues upgrading stuff. Some of the UI as well is moved all around in the card info as well.
The no-HUD version works fine with the ghoul update. It doesn't touch the HUD, so it can't break the HUD. If you're not sure what version of PLM you have installed, open the .ba2 file and if it contains ONLY perksmenu.swf then it's the no-HUD version. I've tested this with ONLY no-hud PLM installed so I could be sure no other mods were "fixing" it.
If you are using a mod manager to install PLM and you've tried switching to the no-hud version and it's still not working for you, then your mod manager is messing up and not swapping the files. Go into your data folder and manually uninstall PLM hud version and manually install no-hud version.
No. I was using the no-hud version, disabled every single other mod I had, enabled JUST the no-hud version and it was still broken. Just because YOU Aren't having a problem doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist. As others have said below it's actually possible to use a different mod that just happens to "fix" whatever this mod broke. You just happened to already have that mod or something similar fixing the problem for you without your even knowing it.
The no hud version of PLM is working for me and MANY others. The hud version breaks everything, It seems to be a load order issue for people. PLM needs to be towards the top of hudmodloader.
Thanks for mentioning the bridge. I was going to do it the manual way of making builds on the site and adding the code to the INI, which is basically what the bridge is doing but it has the added benefit of creating backups. And I'm lazy.

I'll make improvements to the loadout functionality soon.
EDIT: newer versions with HUD work fine. Just the old HUD-less that's broken. I can just swap mods to open perk card packs.
P.S. Thank you for this brilliant mod, as many othes, i think it's #1 for F76 too <3
Perk Loadout Manager 2.22 locks up the hud when selecting new cards.
Perk Loadout Manager (No HUD loadout notification) ver 2.21 still works.
It happens to me when I level up and have to choose a new perk card.
Hopefully the mod gets updated again. It's one of my favorites!
Thanks, Keretus.
So I do not know how it caused it, but figure it was some kind of crossover with enabling/disabling mods and somehow related to another hud /buff mod(but I cannot track down) - With ONLY PLM (The hudless version) it causes freeze.(It also freezes with most recent version which is NOT hudless)

Difficult to play the game now without this mod and SFE. Thanks Keretus for all your work and kudos to Mapekz.
I can definitely live with the left bumper only for now though! Thanks again!

Could you tell me by chance how to save loadouts w/o sfe?
NVM there is PLM bridge mod.
