Speaking of CCO, I have a mod that lets me smelt a silver ring into 4 ingots, and (I'm assuming) another mod that let's me make a silver ring with 3 ingots. Any way for me to track what causes this, other than going through all my esps that might be related to crafting, smelting, ingots, and possibly jewelry?

In your shoes, I would load up only the mods that could plausibly affect crafting recipes and look at the COBJ records, specifically for silver rings. Then you can copy the record into a patch and change the number of bars required. eta: So if by "going through" you meant this, then no, can't think of another way. But you can search for any records with silver ring references, which I think the recipes would show up for.

Is it okay to ask about Oblivion here? I was wondering if anyone knew of a lightweight mod that just stops bandits from leveling and delevs loot (with best versions available only) without changing up much else.

All the ones I linked on the main description page are nice. The two EggOver (aka, me) packs focus on DLC creatures, but if you only grab one pack that's linked there, make it Aeternus Atronachs. Those are freaking great, and actually useful during the game being able to tell who's summon is whose. I honestly like all those packs. I keep meaning to bring up some stuff for the OP on steam, but  and Shadow of Mordor keep interfering.

As amusing as it it to watch e-drama unfold while sitting on the sidelines with a bag of popcorn, why not try to keep that out of the thread and contained to PMs? poo poo like this isn't doing the thread much good. As for Modwat.ch: Both the application and the site are open source. I've dug around in it and couldn't find anything bad. Nor could I find any other accusation about it spreading malware.  It's safe to use as far as I can tell.

Please do. There's only one random troll of a goon who claims it's dirty, and a rather large userbase including Thallassa and other important Skyrim modders that use it. Bee tee dubs, appreciate turning me on to novajam. His FO4 video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdcDg3Z8c8I is way better than actually playing the game.

You can hear the phrase "War Never Changes" up to four times in the first 10-15 minutes of the game. Also it's way more of a "theme park" game compared to New Vegas, in that you have a lot of locations that don't really connect with the rest of the game. I'd say it's got some nice engine improvements over NV, but it's also got a lot more Emil Pagliarulo. Take that as you will.

The main theme's leitmotif plays about 500 times a session, too, as was mentioned by novajam in the video. If you played it, you'd know exactly what I mean. Although I do say, the Fallout 4 main menu music is really loving good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdOKjUfMPe0

To be fair to FO4, I'd say the actual combat gameplay is way more enjoyable than any of Bethesda's past FO and TES games. I mean that's not really much of an accomplishment and it's still garbage compared to like uh any other game but hey.

Raygereio posted:I haven't played FO4 yet, but this sounds like it basically has the same problem FO3 had? Yeah, basically. The settlement mechanic helps a bit since you can get some basic trade routes via provisioners and such, but there's just so much stuff that doesn't connect with the main story or factions at all. It's just there. And this might just be me, but the "Location with cool Quest"-to-"Lootstash with minimal backstory"-ratio was so skewed I felt as if I had to ration the quests out between loot runs to avoid running out of interesting stuff to do before I had explored even half of the locations in the game. There's just so many places that exist solely for getting more building materials. I never actually got around to finishing the game, I think it overloaded the compulsive completionist part of my brain. I still might go back to it one day, but it's not a game I actually miss playing. That honestly feels pretty damning.

Not to mention the lack of unique ones. Oh and the new ghouls are pretty great. Basically all Fallout 4 needs to be unequivocally good is better writing and worldbuilding. And a less tightly defined protagonist.

The combat is good, at least compared to other TES and FO games, but the story and character building choices are loving awful compared to NV. I can deal with little choice in the story for Skyrim, but not having any choice to use my skills besides Speech in dialogue sucked rear end in FO4. It was very disappointing.

Bethesda really dropped the ball by letting Obsidian make a Fallout game, didn't they. After all, if New Vegas had never been made, Fallout 4 wouldn't be so underwhelming.

FO4's not as good as NV, but it's still a fine FO game in its own right. It's been long enough since NV that it's scratching the itch. (I loved both 3 and NV, but NV a little more, for perspective.)

TTW wasn't REALLY porting between engines though, they were similar enough that FNV's engine could kinda recognize FO3's assets. FO4 did what bethesda usually does between games and that's rename every variable and tag because one can dream though or just let obsidian make a new fallout

GunnerJ posted:Is FO4 really that bad? I see the power armor segments and getting instinctively pumped for power armor to really matter again. People make it sound worse then it is, I ignored the main story and very much enjoyed the whole thing, the main story was as usual bad (I still haven't gone further then probably 20% towards the main story after hundreds of hours) but the little stories you could pick up from audiologs/journals/NPC dialogue from a little side area was great, combat was good, power armor was unique and lived up to the name, exploration was great and I liked the minecraft build your home thing even if it was a bit shallow without the mods to come. The engine was a big improvement in various areas and I never knew how much a improvement it was to not pause the game while looting stuff. Speaking of which, thinking of going through skyrim again and did a quick google for fast looting and found this mod http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mod...review%3D&pUp=1 Does it work well? or are there other mods that do the same thing better? And one last question, are there any mod packs or easy to parse lists of all the "must-have" mods these days? haven't seen whats come out or been updated in the last year or two and I'm curious if there has been anything big or new, I last played trying out requiem 1.8 but there are probably updates to it or a more popular overhaul mod.

NuclearPotato posted:Quick Loot is really good, but it's a little unstable, so save often if you do use it. Yeah, I love it, but I finally had to ditch it. It would go a long time without so much as a hiccup, and then one CTD right after another. The final straw was when I tried to travel from Dragon Bridge to Markarth past that Forsworn redoubt or whatever that's right on top of the road. The game would CTD when I killed the woman patrolling at ground level every time, if the crosshair so much as touched her after she collapsed. No idea what it was about her that Quick Loot couldn't handle. I could activate it again now, and things would probably be fine. It just seems like it's a few percentage points below the threshold of being worth the trouble. When it's working, it's hard to imagine why Bethesda didn't implement it as part of the core interface. You can kill a bandit, strip him while the next one starts to charge, then cut off the new challenger's head. All before he can he finish yelling, "you'll be so much easier to rob when you're dead."

This may be old news, but some of the crashiness has been fixed, APPARENTLY, in Quick Loot with the newer version and the ability to set an upper limit on items listed in Quick Loot's window. It happens to fix that issue where looking at a certain corpse, undoubtedly loaded down with poo poo to wear and break down and sell, crashes your game.

I haven't had any trouble with it as far I can tell. I use it with JK's Skyrim and they both work very well alongside one another. It's nice to see the stretches of empty land getting some habitation and improvements to some of the weaker settlements as well. I used to use Inconsequential NPCs but I never really felt like it had an impact on my game whereas The People of Skyrim does more than just add NPCs.

Who wants to join in on some Arthmoor hate? He apparently prefers the completely loving worthless Wrye Bash to Mator Smash in Skyrim. Talk about unable to adjust to changing circumstances. BUT WRYE BASH WAS THE THING I USED IN OBLIVION, IT MUST BE FULLY-FUNCTIONAL AND NOT AT ALL BROKEN IN SKYRIM! edit with a link: https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/4paz1d/wrye_bashed_patch_vs_mator_smash/ Here he's being really stupid.

PerMa is weird because you really need to be a 10 hour modder to make it work or even have the desire to make it work, but if you're a 10 hour modder you're going to be running that loving patcher 20 times before you play, making you a 20 hour modder. You really have to be completely done with your load order before playing it. It has some really cool perks, though. Conjuration was particularly fun, as I recall.

Also, the only quick loot you need is Loot Magnet from Apocalypse. As if anyone has ever left loot behind. If you're not surrounded by two dozen corpses in their undies after a battle then you're not really living, are you?

It happens to fix that issue where looking at a certain corpse, undoubtedly loaded down with poo poo to wear and break down and sell, crashes your game. I'd still recommend trying the mod. My issue may well be a fight between Quick Loot and one of the other SKSE extensions I have installed. For example, I know Crash Fixes has its claws in some of the lower level text routines, and it sounds like Quick Loot might hook into that as well. Regardless, enabling and disabling Quick Loot was the only thing that made a noticeable change for me. Fake edit: Reloaded the save I made a few steps before that encounter. With Quick Loot on, and default options, immediate crash. Quick Loot uninstalled, fine. Quick Loot + bDisableInCombat=1: I can view her inventory, but the game crashes immediately on closing out of it. Although, the dopes in that fortress tend to notice the player and run inside in an effort to reach them, so combat may have ended coincidentally. Quick Loot + bDisableInCombat=1 + iItemLimit=4 (or just less than the number of items in her inventory): No problems. Even if combat ended while staring at the corpse, and Quick Loot's panel came up fine once I looted enough to put the corpse below the limit, and closed the vanilla menu. Not exactly sure what the author considers "many items", and right before that save, I had looted a bunch of bandits, and a random, dead Vigilant who had more items than this Forsworn, but this might be a good workaround. I don't mind so much having to loot people I've killed the old fashioned way, if I can still have Quick Loot running for all the urns and prop corpses I want to hit for Septims and gems.
