Method 2: Cleaning the Errant Plugin (The Proper Fix)

This is the professional solution. You will use xEdit (Fallout 4 Edit) to remove the dependency.

  1. Download and install xEdit (the Fallout 4 version).
  2. Run FO4Edit.exe via your mod manager (to ensure it sees your full load order).
  3. In the plugin selection window, find the mod that is reporting the Ppf.esm error. Do not select Ppf.esm because you do not have it.
  4. Once xEdit loads (it will show an error about missing masters – click "Yes" to continue, but be cautious), navigate to the plugin that is broken.
  5. Look for the File Header section of that plugin.
  6. Find the "Master Files" list. You will see Ppf.esm listed there.
  7. Right-click on Ppf.esm in the list and select "Remove".
  8. Check if any records within the plugin actually reference Ppf.esm. (Use the "Referenced By" tab. If there are none, you are safe.)
  9. Close xEdit and save the cleaned plugin.
  10. Re-enable the mod. The error is gone.
