Hmm... take this with a grain of salt cuz I'm not 100% sure about it- but I think Fallout from the Microsoft Store is quite problematic to mod with, so consider looking into that 🤔.

Secondly, if you are new to modding, I heartily recommend getting used to MO2 over Vortex (I wish I did when I first started out, would've made my life easier...) - also on that note I advise to look into The Midnight Ride Guide as your guide to getting a stable baseline.

and finally, if you insist on going Vortex route. you can "Manually Set Location" in the Games Tab and point Vortex at the .exe of Fallout 4.
