doing the obvious posted:Having this weird bug; I want to try out survival but I run into two problems. First, any new character I make when they pick up the Pipboy at the end of Vault 111, the Pipboy is zoomed into to a comical degree that I can't use it. At all. Second if I try to use the console to fix this issue for some arcane reason it won't let me open it. Any ideas what could possibly be causing this? Fresh install, only thing I've used is the ultimate tweak tool so far. Try right clicking on it? That zooms/unzooms somewhat for me ..

I use the following mod load order to create basically my ultimate Survival Mode experience. This has changed how I play drastically. I run away from a lot more fights. Landmines, always sold previously are now some of my most treasured items. The survival mechanics are more important, because you need every edge you can get. Every enemy encounter in the wasteland has the potential to go sideways very quickly, and in a number of different ways. You'll find yourself in situations where you'll think to yourself "Getting out of this is going to be interesting and take some work." I've bolded the ones I feel are essential.

Also do more damage, both giving and recieving, although I don't know if this still works since Survival mode has been implemented and what was survival is now very hard.

If you think Survival isn't that bad, then this will gently caress your poo poo right the hell up. If you make it from the Vault to activate Sanctuarys' workshop without dying at least once, you're doing very well. Adds enemy spawns all over the map, and increases enemy numbers. It is unforgivingly brutal. It also adds story faction spawns too, and all the spawn settings and timings are customisable via an item dropped into your Aid tab in your inventory. I recommend using the default to low settings for most everything, with a 50% chance of having random number sized mob spawns. This also adds friendly story faction squads to patrol happy settlements. PlayerHomes.esp Weaponsmith Extended.esp M82a.esp Glowing Eyes.esp OWR.esp not a must have, it's Old World Radio, which adds a heap of really, really good radio stations.

Be warned though, if you're using WotC, finding a "safe" area to set up will be quite difficult. BasementLiving.esp Campsite.esp My preffered camping mod.

Wintermute has some neat features, I'd probably go with that one over Zhanna if you want to choose. I'll quote myself from the Fallout 4 thread: princecoo posted:I started my first Survival run with War of the Commonwealth straight up. So to me, Survival mode with WotC is the only way to play. I initially dialed that poo poo all the way to 11 and gently caress ME SIDEWAYS but I found that if you want a decently challenging/pants making GBS threads experience, use the default to low settings, with the enemy group sizes having a 25-50% chance of being random. Oh and I really, really recommend playing with the WotC settings, because by default most spawns are set to come back after 6 hours which is bullshit, man. Set that poo poo to 24 hours unless you're a masochist. princecoo fucked around with this message at 12:21 on May 9, 2016 |

How do you expect her to find her son while dealing with extreme back problems? No amount of tweaking of the carryweight is going to be sufficient for those puppies!!

Yeah it seems to work okay for me too - maybe not the modified damage, as default weapons don't seem to have the same kick they used to, but that could just be the new Survival mode making them not as effective. But all the other options (the AI, molotov fix, lowered weapons etc) work great.

Currently reorganizing by hand and it sucks. I found which file to transfer over, which is great because the new version of MO didn't even realize it had generated so many conflicts that the game would crash on startup. Still crashed after fixing the load order but at a later spot this time, so that's progress. Fired up my old version just to make sure everything was still hunky dory there ... and it crashed while trying to load a game, which is still farther than the new one gets but gently caress me I'm tired of this. It had finally looked like I had gotten over the forced-computer-restart issue and I was looking forward to actually playing. Falken posted:So has anyone tried Weapons of Fate (ballistics overhaul)? I've been meaning to get back into the game for a while and this looks really good. I tried out the tracer effects version last night and it's real nice, the effect isn't as distracting as I thought it might be and it can help a little with your aiming. I cleared out the outside of Corvega from the surrounding overpasses with a scoped rifle and having to a) account for bullet drop and b) pay attention to where the bullets actually hit the background scenery in order to zero in on my pants-shittingly panicking target was fun and engaging.

I really really hate the Power Armor but I'm one of those people who love to explore every inch of the map, every nook and cranny and of course Bethesda decided to give the Power Armor a jetpack. I see on the Nexus that there are several mods who claim to give you a "standalone" jetpack, but I was wondering if anyone in the thread could vouch for one. If I wanted unlimited flight I'd just use tcl, so I'm looking for something with the same limitations as the Power Armor one.

Not much I can do about two shot being ridiculously overpowered alas. You can read more about it on the mod page. speaking of which, some kind soul donated money to me for automatron, so I'm getting a start on expanding WBO for that!  surprise in the teaser The Iron Rose fucked around with this message at 14:38 on May 10, 2016 |

What will happen if I use stuff like the [urlhttp://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11174/?]IF-54 Battle Rifle[/url]? Is it based on the ammo or the weapon? If it's the latter I guess I'll have to modify the file myself to bring it's damage up in line with the modified weapon damage? It's the latter, but everyone makes their new weapons overpowered anyways so it's actually pretty perfectly in line. The only weapons I actually felt I needed to bump up were the sniper rifles (specifically the Barrett m82 and the Artic Warfare L96), and then only because they didn't have mods or caliber conversions that increased damage.

Just installed the weapon rebalance mod and I'm absolutely in love with the double barrel shotgun. I love shotguns with narrow spreads, can't wait to blow chunks off some ghouls with it. Speaking of, having a bunch of ghoul cages outside the perimeter in sanctuary is proving useful because they keep catching these gnarly charred ghouls which give me like 200xp a pop.

I use this http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/6957/ it keeps things releveling to around your level, so that when you go back to areas its not piss easy. Your Computer posted:At the risk of sounding dumb, what's the advantage to using ModOrganizer2 instead of the Nexus Mod Manager? One of the biggest features of Mod Organizer is that it keeps your rood directory completely clean, it puts nothing into the games folder, this allows you to have multiple mod loadouts. It does this with a virtual file structure, works flawlessly and doesnt affect performance. When you want to run something like FO4Edit, you just add the shortcut to MO2 and run it that way, same for F4SE etc. Its UI is a lot better than NMM as well. It can also handle direct download manager links for nexus. There is one minor issue in MO2 right now, its using the games default Fallout4.ini so make sure that is set up for modding, or some mods wont load, the dev is aware and a fix is coming.

All my mods do, actually. http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2463 Get the updated version though. Adds a 5.56mm conversion to the Hunting Rifle because someone requested it of me and I wanted to learn how to add rechambers. What followed was a colossal pain in the rear end but it worked and now I'm happy. On a related note, my carry weight mod suffers from the fact that you have to, well, update your carryweight before it takes effect. The easiest way to do this I've found is to drink alcohol or crawl into power armour or do something that changes up your carryweight. I'm wondering if I can add a script that does something of the kind. I was thinking either bypassing the whole GMST thing by creating a new Perk that fortifies carryweight a la strong back, hiding it from the player, and then attaching it to the player when you run the game. That's not quite as clean as just using GMSTs though. e: Mods land on Xbox next week! http://ca.ign.com/articles/2016/05/10/fallout-4-mods-will-land-on-xbox-one-following-far-harbor-dlc-next-week You can enable console tags in the Creation Kit now.

The Iron Rose posted:sure but some gun nerd needs to give me a rundown of what the different calibers mean in terms of how I should balance poo poo because I don't actually know and was p. much guessing for the 5.56mm NATO round You could say screw realism, but if you want a vague outline, power order should be .38, .45, .44, 5.56mm, .308, .50. The reason for it not being in ascending order is that .44 is a long round, it has a lot of powder behind the bullet so it fires with more force. All of the pistol rounds (.38, .44, .45) are quite long rounds, compared to common 9mm rounds which are quite short, so they should all be quite powerful (your guns all are so that's probably already the case) but .44 should be the most powerful of the bunch. From there you have 5.56mm, .308. and .50 rounds which are all rifle rounds. Rifle rounds have a huge amount of powder in them so they fire very fast bullets, however, 5.56mm is a modern assault rifle round, while .308 is an old fashioned rifle round. 5.56 would be accurate and have great range and low recoil, but .308 should hit a fair bit harder. The game doesn't really reflect this because 5.56 is rarer, but the assault rifle does have low recoil and I believe your mod expands on that? So that's sort of correct and with its rarity it sort of needs to be quite powerful. .50 is presumably also the rifle round not the pistol round, and is an antimateriel round designed to destroy vehicles. It should hit like a truck and murder the gently caress out of everything, pretty simple. The 10mm rounds are presumably pistol rounds but I don't know of any commonly used 10mm rounds so it could be made up, in which case, it's probably up to you how to balance it. I think in game it's supposed to be roughly analogous to 9mm rounds being common and used in a common pistol. Realistically you could probably make it interchangeable with .38, maybe a slightly better alternative due to rarity? 5mm rounds I think actually don't exist at all, but I would guess they're probably some kind of high tech round a bit like the 5.7mm FN rounds used in the P90, 5.7mm is characterized by being very fast and low recoil because of its small size, but suffers from somewhat limited range. I would again suggest that just making something up might be appropriate for this. Honestly I'd just say stuff the ultra spergy realism and make 10mm, .38, and .45 handle how you like and make .44 beefy as hell because it's the big revolver ammo, then do what you want with 5mm and 5.56mm, make .308 powerful and high recoil, and .50 should kick like a horse and wreck house. Basically work off how the game doles out the ammo to you, and how it already uses it, because it's mostly sensible and fun, it's just nice having the greater variety of your mod.

To be entirely honest I'm mostly interested in balancing the calibers against each other, so that power order is quite helpful. For example, what I did for the hunting rifle was make the 5.56 do less damage than the .308, but more than the .38, with the benefit of faster ROF and ammo capacity compared to the .308 and the .50 cal. Glad to know I was on the money there.

Something else you might could do with the .44 revolver is add a 10mm conversion. There a handful of revolvers chambered for 10mm and it'd yet again give practical use to a otherwise underused ammo type. 10mm doesn't have as much oomph as a .44 but it's still nothing to sneeze at, so it'd basically be the .44's answer to the pipe revolver's .38 conversion.
