Scrap Everything is pretty great.

Just be careful. You might end up scrapping a road chunk or part of the Red Rocket Building if you're not.

I've gotten in the habit of picking up & waving around whatever I'm about to scrap to make sure it is what I think it is. Alot of the normally unscrappable items have un-intuitive names and don't highlight properly.

Excellent, perfect thankyou :D

if i could make one mod it'd be some sort of quest that allowed me to rebuild sanctuary to prewar status. probably just the buildings and roads, i guess the plantlife is beyond help lorewise, though after 2 centuries even after total global nuclear war there'd be way more regrowth. Never liked how it always looks like the war happened a decade ago tops in fallout.

Did I misread all the signs?
I wish there was a batch-scraping script mod to clean up all the basic trash and leaves around Sanctuary and other such settlements. It took me like 2 in-game days to clear that drat road so I could start making it inviting to traders and settlers. I guess it might be hard to customize, as one man's trash is another man's 'Oh god don't touch that it's crucial to my build!'. I hope at some point there is a mod that can undo the last thing you scrapped as I took out a house foundation trying to get some clutter. I think someone asked before but is there a mod that can at least temporarily turn off scrapping confirmations so I don't have to wear out both my 'R' and 'E' keys?

Don't use scrap everything + expanded settlements + scrapall in the console. Lost most of the city block around hangman's alley just leaving random chunks of subway tunnels floating around :v:

Scrapall is always going to be weird in Hangmans Alley with Scrap Everything.

OTOH you can make a home inside that one building that sticks out in the middle of it and takes up all the space normally. 3-4 stories easily and it looks fairly natural if you only delete 1 section to put a door in.

You're not navigating to the exe itself, just to the folder it's located in. Like assuming you installed it through steam.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout4

that's where you want to navigate to.

So I've been trying to edit textures, but all the clothing and skins seem to be in a method I'm not familiar with. It has the texture full side, and then quarter size, and so on displaying it smaller and smaller. I'm guessing it's some sort of "load smaller textures when looking at a distance" but it makes it a huge pain in the rear end to edit because if I'm not exact the texture warps around when zooming in and out in game.

Is this default, or something a mod like bodyslide has done to me? Any way to get around this, like just tell it to stop bothering with the texture scaling for outfits?

Oh those are the MIPmaps for the LOD. I think Fallout 4 uses nVidia DDS formats and if you have the Photoshop plugin installed you can tell it to ignore it while loading the file and automatically generate them when exporting.

Let's say I start a new game with the Season Pass DLC, then just go save Preston, and then just go straight back to Sanctuary and do nothing but let settlers scavenge and build up the town a bit.

If later, from that clean save game, I install a variety of mods (that do not affect Sanctuary) ... what's the worst that can go wrong, compared to using those same mods starting a brand new game?

At least we're not the Thalmor (yet)
This is based strictly on limited experience with FO4 and mostly from experience with Skyrim, but so long as a mod does not need to be run from the very start of the game, you should be mostly fine (apart from mods that alter the part of the game you're already past). Obviously it's never a surefire bet, but by and large I can't imagine there are too many mods that will drive your game into an unstable mess (which is the worst-case scenario).

Generally the worst case scenario is it doesn't work and you have to start a new game from scratch anyways, which is far from a huge crisis.

Do you feel like a hero yet?
I've got a couple mods installed to change things up a bit, being the increased enemy spawns and create your own difficulty. I've got the game set to very hard with the damage I deal out be x1, and enemy damage x2. Right now I'm currently one or two shotting raiders at level 3. It's been so long since I last played the game that I can't remember if that's normal for early game. The deathclaw at Concord did take a fair beating however.

I would be otherwise use Iron Rose's weapon rebalance mod, but I do have a few weapon addons in the game, so that's why I'm using the difficulty rebalance to up the damage I deal out. Hopefully this works out well, and the increased spawns should hopefully make things interesting later.

One thing I would love would be for the power armor at Concord to be rendered damaged beyond repair during the deathclaw fight. I wonder if that could be made a mod.

e: I saw a video of Robbaz playing with the vault tec DLC, but it seemed to have parts I've never seen anyone use before. Including a vault door that I've never seen anyone using:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dFvsOQH6e8&t=326s
(skipped to the appropriate time).

Is this from one of the packs like homemaker or whatever? I'd much rather build a vault above ground and cover it in rocks than being limited to the Vault 88 spot.

The vault door is from the Vault tec DLC, if you go into the generic door selection while in vault 88 you can see it as an option. When you finish the vault 88 quest it will let you build everything on the surface, so there you go. The rocks were definately a mod though.

Snap 'N Build doors are straight up hosed and always have been, so there's that mystery solved. The good news is that settlers will generally manage to figure out a way through them after running into the adjacent wall 3 or 4 times.

For a serious response, that inability to assign happens to me too (and did in my vanilla playthrough as well as my modded ones). Seems like it starts happening once your settlement starts groaning at the seams with settlers and buildings. I found that it generally resolved itself if I spent a few days away from the settlement doing other things and came back later to try again.

I tried the Resurrection mod and didn't notice any performance issues ( however I'm running an i5-4670, 16GB ram GTX 980 running off an SSD ) - My only complaint with the resurrection mod was the ambient jungle noises sound track which didn't quite fit.

Ah, I'm not sure that's it. I tried taking the Snap N Build doors off the structure, all the walls, placing the guard post on ground level, replacing the structure with only vanilla items, then putting the post on the floor away from the structure, and everyone still tells me it's impossible to get to it. I have two shops inside that have been assigned, but the settlers refuse to stand behind them. They won't even attempt to walk to them.

I only have 7 settlers at the site, so I don't think population numbers are the problem, but I'll spend a few days away from the settlement and cross my fingers. Thanks for the advice.

One of the annoying things with spring cleaning/scrap everything is that when you walk away from something that's not supposed to be deleted (say, a sanctuary house), you'll find its high distance model still exists.

Wow, those are really cool.

I'm looking for more wastelandy outfit mods, rather than the usual nanosuits, N7 armor and skimpy CBBE catsuits. So far I find myself just using the flannel shirt and jeans in the base game. :(

Also, more tactical equipment. I've installed C.U.T.E which looks interesting, but I haven't managed to craft anything yet.

I've also fallen madly in love with the R91 rifle. That thing is so nice looking, and has shitloads of mods.

This is a known bug that bethesda haven't/can't fix and the only way around it is to roll back your save. Apparently bethesda introduced some code in patch q.6 to save resources on consoles to deactivate scripts in certain circumstances and it occasionally goes rogue and deactivates the script that allows you to assign settlers and spawns new ones. Also make the Taking Independence quest unfinishable as you can't assign the minuteman to the radio.

Bethesda have said even if they can fix the bug they might not be able to fix savegames where it has occured.

Workaround would be mods that let you build settlers and that autoassign settlers for you.

I even tried making the player and Forged factions enemies in the console and they wouldn't attack me.

Also he's abandoned the project and blames Bethesda for it:
