About the only mod I'd really feel truly sad to play without these days is Vivid Weathers.

But I do have to admit that "sleep or save" really makes survival mode a lot more pleasant.

So yeah, MO turned out to be the problem. A clean reinstall and using NMM this time had everything work just fine. MO seemed to really not like extracting stuff from the archives.

I haven't had any issues with NMM and I'm running like 80+ mods. So that has to say something positive about its stability.

I haven't tried MO but I don't see a reason to since I have no complaints at this point.

Welp. I've been hoping for a fix to the Rebel Armor's gearless version to fix a bug in the scarf. I take a look on the Nexus and lo and behold, it's gone. Seems like he had a horrible flood of people harassing him because of stuff that happened when they used copies of the mod uploaded on Bethesda's site by someone else and he couldn't stand it anymore.

Honestly, do people really have to be dickholes? This is why we can't have nice things.

Because I can hear it and it occasionally shows up as a target in VATS, any attempts to attack it crashes the game.

Weird idea this morning: Synth Cat Mod

Cats can be built at the Robotics Workbench, in a variety of colors
Will exhibit catlike behavior
Can be petted
Can be assigned to different settlements, but not as provisioners or actual workers
(OPTIONAL) Using a plasma or laser weapon, can be weaponized - cat will engage hostile targets, shooting energy beam from mouth and yowling horribly
Weaponized cat may be picked up and used as weapon
Weaponized cat will explode (plasma grenade) on death or (if being used as weapon) on arm crippling of operator (like Suiciders)

I just installed the Creation Kit and could use some quick advice from a modder. I'm an experienced programmer but have never looked at the CK, papyrus, etc., before. I'm trying to find how "scavenging" is triggered in settlements (e.g., game time that must elapse, conditions that must be met in workshop inventory) but I'm having trouble even wrapping my head around the CK UI and then also finding the appropriate script that details how these things are done.

Anyone have advice for babby's first foray into the CK? Or know where I can find what I'm looking for? Thanks.

hmm, found details in WorkshopScript.psc:
function DailyUpdateSurplusResources
(contains...)

bool bAllowScavengeProduction = true
if currentStoredScavenge > maxStoredScavengeBase + maxStoredScavengePerPopulation * updateData.totalPopulation
bAllowScavengeProduction = false
endif


It also determines scavenge amount, including stations. Daily update, by all accounts, is called every 24 in-game (non-sleep/wait, also non-fast travel) hours (see: http://www.creationkit.com/fallout4/index.php?title=StartTimerGameTime_-_ScriptObject ). Scavenging stations are also dealt with via WorkshopRatingScavengeGeneral in WorkshopParentScript.psc.

I referred someone to a mod earlier that stopped errm, stopping the collection & storage of water and food beyond a certain point, as thats vanilla behaviour, rather irritatingly,
i'm not certain but having a look at the mechanics of that might help as well, and avoid clashes with your mod. Uncapped Settlement Surplus also : Water 2 water & Expanded Scavenge Station Items

oh, and the ck in its present state is a mess, maybe it will be updated, xedit is what a lot of people use instead, however, that has a few issues too.

After having the usual problem of a new patch/DLC wiping out the DLC items from my settlement menu I found this mod that adds very neat little categories for all the DLC items at the end of your settlement menu. Super useful.

Don't pick up the Vault-Tec Prototypes if you use scrapall in Vault 88. I found out the hard way that it unlocks all the experiments, but prevents you from building the prototype versions you need to process the quest.

Does anyone have some survival mode-friendly recommendations? I've been having trouble picking things because some of those overhaul mods are pretty cool, but they're clearly meant for easier difficulties.

For survival mode, I particularly like Arbitration's 2.5X damage by player (default is 0.5) and 3X to player. Makes survival mode a lot more fair in my opinion given weight limits and limited ammo.

I did much the same thing until I found that my 10mm pistol was still oneshotting enemies at level 25, and if I saw a grenade indicator it meant I might as well quickload. I used Rulebreaker to change the damage values to something like 1/5x / 2x and now I don't have to stealth kill every enemy with 1 headshot, and I have a reason to use my lasergun now.

I don't know of any that just do that, but Uncapped Settlement Surplus includes attack reduction functionality as part of the package. What's more, you can use the config holotape to disable all the other parts of it. Might be up your alley.

What are some good vanilla survival enhancement mods? I'm not looking for anything that radically alters the game, just stuff that would fit in with the standard survival mode. Right now all I'm using are some basic visual enhancers (shell rain, enhanced blood, pipboy light shadows), and a couple "nice to have" things like survival quick save enabler (mainly because gently caress losing an hour thanks to a crash. I'm fine with it being "hardcore" but even though FO4 is pretty stable I still don't trust it 100%). I also don't really care about stuff like ENB shaders and such because I think the game looks pretty enough already and I like being able to run at a decent framerate.

http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/14650/ <-Survival Options, exactly what it says on the tin, adds a tape that lets you tweak survival settings such as how often you need to sleep, when you can save, damage multipliers for you/enemies.

Well, if you just want some basic non game altering mods, DEF_UI and Valdacil's item sorting are great (just be sure to customize the latter and select vanilla for everything, by default it makes aid items and ammo weightless). I also use the survival mode console because the game is buggy at times I like the option, be sure to grab the optional version because the guy re-enabled fast travel by default too (don't know if the survival options mod also does the console thing or not).

Beantown interiors just adds interiors to a bunch of buildings that never had them before. Even in concord that means a couple new beds are available, so that might be nice for survival, but I don't know where all it added new buildings so it might just double up on areas that were already good.
