Better Armor and Weapon naming and sorting. Changes the naming convention so that the base item is always listed first (e.g. "Hunting Rifle", "Combat Armor Left Arm") followed by mod effects. More importantly, it supposedly distinguishes between the Regular, Sturdy, and Heavy versions of armor when they are found with preexisting mods (in base game this information is left out). I don't think any of the other UI inventory sorters currently do this.

You apparently need to apply any weapon/armor mod to preexisting gear for this to work, but any newly found loot will have the new naming convention.

So question. When the gently caress do I start seeing Legendaries. I'm on the quest to get to Diamond City with the 50x Legendary Spawn Rate esp on, and I saw NONE. I even went ahead and had the Legendary Rarity 100 mod.

Are Legendaries level-locked or is the mod not working with the newest patch.

Make sure plugins.txt is set to read only or you're bypassing the launcher.

But yes there've been a bunch of reports of people not seeing legendaries at very low levels.

E: for reference I run with rarity at 5% and 5x legendaries and I see tons of legendaries.

I do not, which is why it isn't working! Assuming you're using Nexus Mod Manager there's a really simple way to make sure things work.

Install F4SE and launch the game through the script extender. The newest patch resets plugins.txt every time you hit the launcher splash screen, and plugins.txt is what tells the game what mods to load. It's located in local appdata, so you can always set it to read only.

While I have seen them at low levels, they usually tend to be roaches or molerats. when you get to 10 or so, things get a bit more proper.

i run with the 100% chance, occasionally get a group of raiders or whatever with a couple of legendary's, however, its the guys with power armor or missile launchers, as opposed to the legendarys that I am wary of.

I like how raiders/etc usually have them tucked behind sandbags- but even though I have SSEx and Homemaker, I don't feel like I'm seeing anything that fits the bill, but I'm pretty bad at settlement design still.


Also, do your settlers trip the trap defenses (tesla arcs) if they step on the pressure plates or whatever? If so, how do you keep those primed for bad guy defenses?

Can someone give me some help with Percise Object moving?

Ive got autohotkey installed, started the game, alt-tabbed, ran the script file which loads AH, I opened the Window Spy, I can see that it is seeing the ahk_class Fallout4, but when in game I open console left click an object I want to move but the numb pad keys just enter their regular number into the console, not the script.

Did you get this working?
If not I suspect you've got the order reversed, load the AH key first and then start the game. That's how I've been doing it at least and it's been fine.

Nope and Ive tried both, I also tried the version that doesn't check what app is running and used it on notepad and that works I can see the commands getting typed. I wonder if its because I am using Mod Organizer, I dont know why that would matter though, the Window Spy still sees Fo4.


Edit:
I got it figures out, I had to set the AH exe to run as administrator, now it works fine.

Amstrad, your mod is basically a godsend for helping to making not-lovely-looking marketplaces.


Have you considered using different objects for the different merchants, though, like you did with the clinic? Like clipboards, cutting boards, ammo boxes, etc. so each merchant isn't just standing in front of a cash register.

Do you still need to make plugins.txt read-only after installing any mod to make sure the game doesn't reset it? Or can you just install a mod with a manager and go now?

For the machine gun turrets, sometimes I'll have them firing on sort of an inward arc and not exposed from the outside. Once someone walks into the firing area, they should be in view of multiple turrets.

I've also put my missile turrets way up on stair case ledges at The Castle so they can fire both inward and outward.

There are two armor types. Therm Optics Armor is invisible combat armor. I recommend Craftable Armor Size as the resulting armor is randomly light/sturdy/heavy.

The Chinese Stealth Armor is optional on install. I didn't install it.

For encounter zones and npc level needs I have been using these and really like it.

Remove Rubberbanind (Free Scaling): http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3036/
This makes it so that the level scaling is not static, each zone adjusts to you when you enter it. Combined with the mod below it makes everything a challenge, but it also makes it so you can do thing in what ever order you want.

High Level Scale http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3455/
There are two versions one that makes all enemies 5 - 20 levels higher than the player, and one that makes all enemies 20 - 50 levels higher. I play with the Latter, its a challenge but with weapon balancing, and Survival Balance, I set the NPCs to do 100% damage, and the player to do 300% and I think its great, cant one shot most things unless its a stealth headshop but things are not total bullet sponges either.

In survival mode by default they get 200% damage increase, this makes it so that they can one shot you almost all the time. NPC level only increases their HP, and gives them better gear, nothing else.

Because they are all going to be higher level, and will have a lot of HP, I didnt want them to be killing me non stop with no hope of getting a anywhere, so I gave them base damage. I increased the player damage, so that it can account for the fact that level means bullet sponge.

I also use the full Aberation pack which makes them much more deadly as well.
