turn off the TV posted:Most ENB's decrease contrast, sure, because most ENB's are terrible and crush the poo poo out of blacks while dumping tons of exaggerated "filmic" effects into the picture. A lot of what Pilgrim does happens before the postprocessing aspects of ENB. It modifies image spaces, weather patterns and climate settings to change a lot of what the in game lighting looks like. It doesn't actually decrease contrast much (if at all) IIRC. Thanks! This is a great comparison. I think I'll stick to the vanilla visuals and post-processing for the run, then; I'll switch back to NAC for weather and try and find a similarly creepy soundtrack. Thanks everyone for the feedback; I didn't even really consider the tradeoffs here.

Can I get some help identifying a crash? Whenever I fast travel to Sunshine Tidings co-op the game crashes on the load screen and I'm not sure why. I have the crash log if that helps and my load order. https://pastebin.com/hENgtDAd https://pastebin.com/3pXVzV9d Really hoping it isn't a Sim Settlements thing. Edit Update - Fast traveling to a nearby area and walking there works though. Seems to be specifically fast traveling to the co-op? That is weird.

If anything, an ENB that saturates the colors slightly to make up for what you're gonna lose in the conversion to Youtube might help.

I wanted to try that out, but never got around to it.  Hadles the levelled lists, too.

Easier to change the name to 'machine gun' and leave the model as-is. Combat rifle and handmade rifle fill the assault weapon niche.

Though frankly I've never found that any armor works particularly well against them; I've been in full PA with decent ER and still felt like I was getting cut to ribbons. Polished adds a hell of a lot of energy resistance to metal armour so I figure that's probably good against synths, though leather would probably be about as good.

I think that is the one I was thinking of, yes. I was able to get Rise of the Commonwealth to work in a non-Horizon game. Put Codsworth in charge of a town, and put a city plan in effect and then got the cinematic for laying the foundation. Pretty cool! So I reinstalled Horizon, got the upgraded desk and used the City Planner panel. I was able to put Codsworth in charge, but for some reason there are no city plans. Anyone encounter that problem and figure out a way around it? Had city plans without horizon, and then didn't once I got Horizon installed, though it was obviously a different save. Do I need a fresh save to get the changes to take effect? marshmallow creep fucked around with this message at 03:14 on Jan 17, 2018 |

Sorry, forgot to mention it, but Sanctuary in both cases. I had a Horizon game with Rise of the Commonwealth, but it didn't work (couldn't pick leaders or a city plan), so I uninstalled everything, updated Sim Settlements and Industrial Revolution (which I had forgotten to do like a chump), then reinstalled Rise of the Commonwealth and tested it on its own. That worked, and in that save I was able to install Codsworth as a city leader and check a city plan, and it laid its foundations. Then I reinstalled Horizon and went back to the Horizon save I already had in progress. I can put Codsworth or Curie (since I already had her on this save) in charge and donate supplies, but "there are no city plans available for this area." Looking at comments on the Sim Settlement website, the best I can figure is that data from an old Sim Settlements install can corrupt a Rise of the Settlements install, so I may just have to start a fresh Horizon from scratch unless someone has another idea.

Not sure then, they should work together cos mine do. The issue of course is that it could be anything in heavily modded saves and horizon/SS/old saves have so much crap in them that I dunno how to begin diagnosing it. I think there are some debug commands in SS as well as holotape options for resetting stuff. Dunno if that'll help, otherwise I think the advice is to uninstall SS, resave the game without it, then reinstall it and try again to fully reset it.

Okay, I was right and restarting from scratch fixed it. Hopefully I won't have to start a new game next time things update. That'd be demoralizing.

I'm playing FO4 for the first time in a long time, and installed Horizon and Sim Settlements (plus expansions) and it all appears to be working correctly. I built a city planners desk and made Codsworth the mayor of Sanctuary. My question is, how will I know when the "foundation" level is complete, and is there a way to tell if progress has stopped due to a material shortage? Is 'donating' materials the same as throwing junk into the workshop? Will it list my city as 'level 1' when it's done? Lots of stuff was built very quickly, but now it's all tapered off but I can't imagine it's done yet, as I'm missing a lot of crafting station, etc. Just curious what the in-game time frame is for this.

Item sorting mods like Valdacil's plus Def_Inv will do this for you. Maybe just the sorter alone, I don't know. If you get Rename Everything, you can add the sorting keywords to anything that doesn't automatically get picked up (I do this with all settings tapes added by mods for example). Sorry for a dearth of links here, I'm on mobile, but all three of those are on Nexus.

Unmodded FO4 is surprisingly stable, modded FO4 is surprisingly UNstable. I have a very short mod list (Mainly some extra clutter mods, WATM, NAC Weather, Sim Settlements, Better Settlement Defense, and one that gives my settlers names so I can keep track of who's doing what). Somehow this tiny mod list managed to gently caress up my settlements so despite all of them having 10+ food/water/beds and 30+ defense, not a single one was gaining new settlers. And what's more, Preston had not just SLOWED DOWN his minutemen quests, he'd stopped giving them out ENTIRELY. Instead of the 96 hour cooldown WATM promised, I checked back every day for two weeks in-game and he wouldn't give me a new radiant quest. I may have to start a new game, but has anyone encountered similar problems that might know where I could identify a solution?

Coughing Hobo posted:Why would you want to fix this? Because I cannot unlock the Castle until I do enough Minutemen radiant quests, and I want to unlock the castle so I can call down artillery. Don't get me wrong, not being bugged about a settlement needing my help is not a bad thing, but I don't MIND doing them every now and again. IIRC there are settlements that can only be unlocked via minutement quests, right? So if WATM worked properly and actually gave me the four day delay that it promises I'd be thrilled, but somehow it's hosed up and I don't know where to start in fixing it. khy fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Jan 17, 2018 |

Couple of things, to answer more seriously... I haven't used WATM, but is it in any way configurable how much time between settlement radiant quests? If so, maybe try futzing with the value, setting it super low, and taking a nap somewhere for a long time. Try the old Gamebryo mainstay of staying in doors somewhere for three days then blowing yourself up in a way that dismembers you. I haven't heard anyone needing to do this for any particular reason in FO4, but it's Look up the console commands for manipulating quests, and look up the quest id and quest step ids for the castle, maybe you can jumpstart the quest by forcing it.

Let's start with he "did you try turning it off and back on again" part of the troubleshooting: did you make sure those settlements have recruitment beacons going? Also, what number of settlers are they stuck at? Which mod manager are you using? Oh and that settler renaming mod wouldn't happen to be Don't Call me Settler, would it? That one is notoriously buggy and prone to loving up your game in unexpected ways, to the point where it was removed from the nexus so I don't know how you'd even get your hands on it but it doesn't hurt to check. Fallout 4 modding is pretty stable in general, but there are more than a few mods that are individually broken as hell. khy posted:And what's more, Preston had not just SLOWED DOWN his minutemen quests, he'd stopped giving them out ENTIRELY.

Did you assign him as a leader for Sim Settlements or something? I dunno if that would cause problems, but it's the only place I can see a conflict from the mods you mentioned. Maybe share your full load order?

While VAFFS or whatever bullet-time mod I'm using does get a little silly (SLO-MO magdump pistol jump to the side while reloading magdump while charging forward and pistol-whip to finish SLO-MO ENDS), it's amusing enough that I'm going to keep it. VATS just makes it multiple-possible-viewpoint with perkable bonuses. Where it gets cheaty is the top tier of Penetrator, because spotting enemies through cover and being able to shoot through said cover is Vault-Tec's patented Wallhack mod. (Stand in Goodneighbor warehouse, spot Triggermen through walls/ceilings, murder them all, loot in peace.  )(Weaponsmith Extended's change to .50 AE plus rechambering weapons means a fully-modded Silver Submachinegun is now the Finger of Death for recon by fire.)Is there a list of who can become a city manager for the new Sim Settlement version/addon? If you use a companion, what happens if you decide to take them out murdering again?

Sanctuary is stuck at 5 (I had 8 but sent those extra 3 over to the Drive-In), Drive in at 3, Tenpines is at 4, and the Co-Op is at 4. All four have sufficient power and beacons turned on. The settler renaming mod I use is Immersive Settlers. A stupid name for a mod which literally just gives them a name from a list at random, but it seemed to be working up until the point where I stopped getting new settlers. As for Preston, he's wandering around unassigned to anything in Sanctuary. I can talk to him and it just gives me the usual four options - How are you feeling?, Come with me, Let's trade, Don't need anything. I'm not at home so I can't post my LOOT-sorted load order, but here's a list of mods I have : All 6 DLC mods Unofficial FO4 Patch Settlement Limit Slashed WATM Basic Longer Power Lines Better Settlement Defense Immersive Settlers Keep Radiants in the Commonwealth Settler Sandbox Overhaul (I keep getting settlers in Sanctuary stuck on rooftops and I suspect this is the culprit so I may be getting rid of it) Vivid Weathers Survival Options Expanded Dialogue Sim Settlements Scrap Everything Settlement Menu Manager Creative Clutter OCDesigner I've heard that mods that mess with settlement stuff can conflict with the Unofficial Patch but I don't know how true or false that is. I know in past Bethesda games the unofficial patch was a must-have, but just how important is it in FO4?

This is generally true but it's also the case that Fallout 4 has a LOT more scripting going on than previous games and I suspect that means that there's a lot of cases were conflicts may not be readily apparent. It's a lot easier to troubleshoot conflicts within ESPs that are adjusting items in-game, and a lot tougher to troubleshoot when scripts are misbehaving.
