The More Armor Mod Is Not Safe!! checked over the more armor slots mod in fo4edit. It wipes out a shitton of data for pieces of armour and you probably want to be real leery of using it because it's exactly that problem which caused save corruption in skyrim. I'll be remaking all my mods in fo4edit incidentally. remove it from your game and ideally go back to a save from before you used it if possible, or you will likely get save corruption

KakerMix posted:Most of my problems with the game can be fixed with mods. A couple alternate start mods, mute PC voice mod and a whole bunch of guns and crafting and settlement tweaks and I'll be pretty much set. That's my problem with the game, actually. I feel like they started implementing all of these things, got the base-level mechanics in, and went "Well, people will just mod in functionality for this, so we're good here."

Ran into a hilarious bug yesterday: I did the Drug deal quest for Cooke several days ago, and after the boss lady surrendered, she tried to plead for her life but mid-sentence Cooke walked up and shotgunned her point blank in the ear so I thought it was a scripted event and just walked away. Yesterday I happen to be walking by the ambush site and happen to look at the ghoul lady's corpse and the dialog wheel pops up where it left off. Curious I click on the generic "tell me more" option and my character looks at the rotting headless corpse and asks it to explain itself.

Delerion posted:We need guns, lots of guns. Yeah, the problem I'm running into is that regular pipe weapons are ineffectual as all hell in enemy hands, lasers are fairly rare and don't do much, plasma outside of gunners hands are non-existant, and the only ones who carry SMGs are triggermen. There's this giant gulf in the game between raiders using pipes and 10mm pistols and later game enemies who use gamma guns (which are rare enough that leadlining is almost useless), rocket launchers, and fat man nukes. Fallout 3 at least had multiple guns of the same weapon type (hunting rifles, lever actionsand sniper rifles; Chinese and American ARs; a heap of pistols and revolvers); by shuffling off everything into 'pipe' you end up either sleeping through combat or dying in a quarter second. edit: Also not having a semi-auto sniper rifle is killing me.

Weapons are just all hosed up and probably will be until the mod tools come out. Raiders use pipe pistols thar do no damage but super mutants with pipe pistols can tear through power armor. It's just so rear end backwards.

Woebin posted:I never expected F4 to be competently written seeing as it's Bethesda, but it's kind of amazing how little they seem to have learned from New Vegas in other respects. Did they not even play it? It is pretty funny actually, I think FO4 is a great game (loads better than FO3 was at release) and while I like how Bethesda streamlined a number of systems and mechanics (sup radiation) the writing is still hilariously bad. The faction "system" or lack thereof is particularly bad. I don't think I've been able to lock myself out of anything and a few times I've seen characters that you can be a total dick to and still have the same outcome as if you were not a dick to them.

The faction system has the same exact problem that Deus Ex: IW had. They don't want to lock players out from content too quickly but it basically ends up with you jerking around all the other factions until the endgame when you finally choose one. They put way less thought into it than Obsidian did with New Vegas.

Beef Hardcheese posted:Lucky me, I only started using it a couple of days ago. It's better than nothing, but nothing can keep your saves perfectly safe. Checked over all my mods and they are safe fortunately, since by and large they only make GMST changes or add recipes. On a related note, I'm branching out, would like to make a weapon rebalance. Just focusing on damage right now (not yet ranged), what weapons would you change, and how? What would you make stronger, weaker?

Gestalt Intellect posted:Whats wrong with nexus mod manager. Speaking from experience, if you skip a couple of updates, sometimes it might "forget" any mods you had and start to mess up your entire installation, making it nearly unplayable without restarting all mods and everything. And sometimes it is just poorly programmed and causes some weird bugs you wouldn't expect of a mod manager. I still use it because I've prepared my butt for the pain that comes with it, but it's a nice thing to be aware of.

Inverness posted:AFAIK Nexus Mod Manager does the whole profiles thing by creating hard links on the disk instead of trying to hook into the program to present it with a virtual file system like MO does. Seems like that worked out better for them. As I understand it yeah, it's mostly because of the VFS thing. I haven't kept up with NMM ever since I made the jump to MO ages ago so NMM doing symlinked profiles is news to me. Does NMM now allow you to shuffle the load order of conflicting mods without problems? Having to install texture mods in a specific order was a pain in the rear end, especially when you later uninstall one or decide to mix and match.

Waiting for a mod that puts permanent rad-fog in all the high geometry areas that Bethesda decided their 5 year old engine could handle. They saved on performance by not having entities cast shadows (and the decision was clearly made early on, because the self-shadowing on the 3D loading screen models shows that the shadows are open-edged/broken for about half of them) and roughing in water volumes and weather occluders with massive six-sided volumes but thought nothing of shoving ten thousand terrain props into every square block of the Financial District. Blow out the midday highs and drop all the distant textures down to poo poo quality, fog rolls in every morning, drop night down to simple lights aside from the "setpiece" hobo drum fires. Game looks fine. You can even have your stupid loving godrays. Aaaagh, so mad at videogaems.

Someone on Reddit tested a bunch of stuff and there's all sorts of jankiness involving weapons hitting twice sometimes, sometimes negating immunity and sometimes not. Some of the highlights: -Bleed weapons are insanely strong on anything that fires multiple pellets quickly -Fire weapons are absolutely worthless after early levels -The shotgun mod for plasma rifles is worse than the short barrel in every respect -BUT if you have an explosive plasma gun, the shotgun mod causes a weird bug that adds a shitload of damage -Two-shot modifier only doubles base damage

MO is also great for allowing you to custom set what folder should be the Data folder when installing a mod, and which files to not even bother extracting (readmes, screenshots, etc). I eagerly await the 64bit/FO4 update, but Nexus will do for now.

Dongattack posted:I would make the Institute laser weapons as good or slightly better than the commonwealth laser weapons. The Institute works constantly to make their weapons better, the commonwealth weapons were just picked up of the ground 200+ years ago. This is true and I agree. I'd like to also suggest a minigun damage-per-round boost. From what I think it is currently (8 or so?) to 12 as a base perhaps, and see if thats too much? Either way, just increase it by either 33% or 50% depending along with each of the upgrades, if thats also tweakable atm. The thing eats ammo like nobody's business anyways. I'd say honestly, the 50 cal is a bit weak for being a 50 cal... but then again, ammo for it is surprisingly plentiful and cheap compared to NV so Im unsure Flamer just hitting harder seems kind of cheap. Wish there was some way to make it stack burning damage by default (less than the burning you get from legendaries damage-wise, but still something like that). FreelanceSocialist posted:Just do the bayonet upgrade on the minigun and shred people to death for zero ammo. One day, modders will animate it so you rev-up the barrel and blades when you stab with it. Then, it will be the attack mode of kings.
