Beef Hardcheese posted:Diving back into this for the first time in months, and I want to do a raider run via the whole Nuka-World thing. Any suggestions for mods that would be particularly suited for such a thing? Nuka-WOrld raider feels weird imo but I'm a dummy good dude and can't play evil characters. If you want to bypass a lot of the early game, you can do Start Me Up and set yourself at level 20-30 to be much closer to Nuka-world. I forget the name but there is also a mod that makes Preston/etc... dead in Concord so the Minutemen quests don't start if you want the Concord books/bobble head/stuff.

The Ceration Club doesn't negatively affect the game as it is right now. Once you've downloaded F4, set it to no longer auto-update in Steam, then always launch the game using F4SE and you won't have to worry about it at all. The negative reviews aren't a reflection on F4, but a boycott/protest of the developer due to thir really poor choices in this matter.

I'm toying a bit with settlements now and I ran into a problem I had forgotten about; the game is seriously picky about where and how you can place things, made worse by how uneven the ground tends to be. Does Sim Settlements play nice with any "place anywhere" mods / is there any good solution to this? Also same question but regarding scrapping corpses. I thought about setting up shop in the cool manor, but the ghoul corpses keep respawning awkwardly around the place and I can't get rid of 'em

Then type 'MarkForDelete' without quotes. Just make sure you manually save beforehand in case you make a mistake. Also, I always do it one object at a time, opening and closing the console, but I'm not sure if that's necessary.

One of the nice features of Sim Settlements is that settlers don't actually need to be physically adjacent to their assigned object, so if they can't path to their house/job it doesn't affect gameplay. Most of the plots also have concrete/wood foundations so you can lift them out of the ground some and they won't appear to be floating.

Thanks  The Sim Settlements stuff isn't such a big problem (although I had some trouble placing the wooden support houses, maybe concrete works better?) but trying to build something for myself is really finicky. I tried patching up the manor a bit and had to give up since the game won't let you place stuff anywhere in that place and I can imagine trying to build a cool player house in general is gonna be frustrating with the limitations.Basically I want to make a nice little (Sim) settlement with a custom built house for myself with crafting benches and stuff, a hub to return to after adventuring

Foundations are big concrete cubes that are allowed to clip into the ground, you're meant to use them as a base to make flat surfaces and build things on. Unfortunately, nowhere does it tell you that.

Basement living is pretty cool especially in survival mode so you don't have to turn back and go to an early settlement every time you explore a "dungeon" area. The Oberland Basement mod is pretty nifty too, reminds me of less cluttered Elianora homes. Marlborough house is probably one of my favourites for "free homes". The cyber light apartments are pretty cool too if you like having a fancy surface house, they're 10k+ each to own though.

Your Computer posted:Does it require a lot of materials to do anything fun with it, or can you start making settlements pretty early in the game? Eventually you're probably going to run through your initial stock of sensors, and extra ones will need crystal and fiber optics to craft. Those aren't easy to come by. Then again, he's also dropped buyable sensors on a lot of the junk merchants in the game, so maybe it'll be easier to keep up.

You start with something insane like 200 sensors, so at the time you run out it should be fairly easy to either buy or craft more.

The Steam page has been bombed with negative reviews about the Creation Club, and I kind of understand the frustration there, but I'm unclear about the effect on modding as a whole. Does the CC break mods, and if so, what are the major caveats/warnings if I were to start down that path? other than downloading all the files on the creation club automatically, even if you don't buy them, it doesn't do anything.

If you provide some details I might be able to help pin down your issues. The github fork owned/maintainedish by LePresidente. The latest version I recall seeing (2.0.8.3) has some major memory allocation issues that are as-yet unfixed and aren't present in 2.0.8.1. I may reinstall F4 and use MO2 again sometime soon, I don't know. It's just endlessly frustrating, dealing with bugs like needing to close and reopen MO2 after using F4Edit to modify anything {2.0.8.1) or having to set an actual timer to close F4 and relaunch MO2 before the memory poo poo happens (2.0.8.3). TheGreasyStrangler posted:Are there mods that make settlements less complicated and more straight forward? I kind of hated that part of the game but it'd be nice to do a few simple things to get a decent settlement going rather than meticulously placing parts. Give Transfer Settlements a look. There's lot of pretty decent blueprints available, though many of them require a shitload of workshop item mods. There's a fair selection of vanilla/DLC-only blueprints as well.

Are there any good mods that add more clothing/armor? I went through the first couple of hundred most endorsed ones on the nexus and literally all of it was "[X] but skimpy" or "[X] but recolored black"  I know Bethesda games have always been known for the amount of lovely skimpy mods but I swear FO4 has the worst ratio of normal stuff to creepo stuff.

What is this bullshit Basically after 2-4h of playing, MO2 will "run out" of memory in the background and cause your next loading screen or save to crash the game. So you have to set a timer to save, close F4, close and reopen MO2, then relaunch FO4 to bypass the bug. SPEAKING OF BUGS! I took the plunge and reinstalled FO4, and installed 2k face textures. Now everyone's faces are this awful poo-brown "I spent too long in the tanning bed" color which looks incredibly jank on white characters. I've tried some sort of batch script which is supposed to fix the issue - something to do with DDS files being the wrong size? - and turns out to do a grand total of fuckall. So...now what? E: I don't have the "HD" texture pack installed because it's poo poo.

My game will completely lock up and I can alt-tab, but can't see any windows except the game. I was going crazy trying to figure out what caused it, but I guess this is my answer.

I'm using a pre-fork version of MO2 and I'm having what I have to assume is some kind of memory issue, because it only kicks in after I've been playing for a few hours and seems to get worse when I use my (presumably resource-intensive) VTO. The first thing that happens is that Horizon's ammo swapping script stops working for weapons I've had stored, sometimes I get horrific lag after aggroing an enemy and eventually objects stop loading in properly. Can't tell you how many times I've stood smack dab in the middle of Egret Tours Marina and just watched it sloooooowly pop into existence. Closing and restarting the game fixes everything. Does that sound familiar to anyone? I'm gonna try disabling the VTO entirely now that I'm on a new playthrough that doesn't have a shitload of things stored in it, but I figured I might as well ask.

What is this bullshit I can't remember if there's any dependable common non-respawning containers in FO4; I know if FO3 and New Vegas, some dumpsters and (I think) all Nuka-Cola machines were safe - I used to load a shitload of junk into the dumpsters by the Goodsprings store, and just courier it all over to Novac as soon as I had the motel room. 4? Sheeeeeit. Some will respawn, some never spawn ever, some will spawn originally and once emptied never respawn... my first FO4 run, the dlearer and bodyguard corpses by Drumlin Diner not only never despawned, but they'd keep respawning the loot. :10 bux: forever! But yeah, Salvage Beacons sounds like a solution, or just trudging along until you get to a safe dump site, or waving down a passing provisioner, or whatever... are there any mods like the one for Stalker: Call of Chernobyl that let you throw dwn a backpack as a temporary stash? As for someone else's comment about clothing, dig we must, but there's some good things hidden away amongst the booty shorts, naked-wth-metal-bits-and-a-big-rusty-chain-for-buttfloss, and other loving  items. Some are just retextures and such of vanilla, some are modded enough to be a seperate item, and some do appear to be new things... it's just the slogging through the Abhorrent & Fuckingperv catalog to get to 'em. I'm still downloading a selection of mods for my next run, and there's a bunch of clothes and armor to try and wedge in, to my taste. (All vanilla, no CBBE or Bodyslide need apply.) Gonna actually try wearing different things for looks, and not just "BEST STATS 24/7" as usual.

In my current game, everytime I recruit a companion I add 100 to my carryweight. Actually having a small army following me everywhere would totally break the game, but there isn't any reason you shouldn't have your B-team following behind, looting everything not tied down. Since that isn't possible, I abstract it with some extra carryweight. I figure after the first 150 lbs everything you pickup is vendor trash or spare parts, what does it matter whether it's in my inventory, my companions', or on it's way back to a settlement? Either way you aren't going to look at it again until you get back to you base of operations. Saves some time with inventory management and trying to get Dogmeat to not run away from you every time you want to trade.

Nevets posted:trying to get Dogmeat to not run away from you every time you want to trade. This is the worst thing. However, it's balanced out by him pulling out a teddy bear and playing with it in the background of many conversations with people. Also, I'm actually impressed that it took until I rescued Nick Valentine and checked out the house in town that Dogmeat became "Dogmeat" and not just "Dog", because I somehow skipped over the bit with Mama Murphy where she says the dog's name, so my character didn't actually know it. It's a level of consistency that I wasn't expecting from this game.

I gave in. instead of using cbbe for its usual porpoise; making everything fit my normal human body, I decided that all raiders will use absurd meshes. lets get stupid physics in as well. Yay. so, for those of you still weighed down, I suggest Be Mobile Workshop. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/14966/ you can ignore scrapping everything in your path and so on, as its appeal to you is being (only in power armour, for some reason), able to pop open an invisible workshop chest, and dumping everything into there. When I start a new Game, one of the first things I do is head over to spectacle island, as that's usually my base. I just tried this mod : https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/26887/ its small, simple & gets me there. bonus Power Armour at end. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/18636/ I looked at this and thought, "oh, another weapon compilation, sweet," and hit download, then noticed the shuttles from Star Trek. if the idea of a bunch of alternate dimensions opening and dumping stuff into post nuke boston appeals to you. go for it. staberind fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Oct 19, 2017 |
