I feel like an idiot, has the method to get archive invalidation working in mod organizer 2 changed? I have "bInvalidateOlderFiles=1" and "sResourceDataDirsFinal=" in both fallout4.ini and fallout4custom.ini and it doesn't seem to be working edit: seemed to start working when I updated mod organizer, nevermind As Nero Danced fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Jul 11, 2021 |

oh my god, i didn't realize i'd have to manually, one-by-one, click to download every single mod on a wabbajack modlist (because i don't have a premium account) so many of these are so incremental i'd never have bothered including them myself. e.g., HN66nXAZOMN_FO4_DistinctiveTeeth_V1 Rinkles fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Jul 11, 2021 |

Install everything, then troubleshoot, then troubleshoot some more. Modding isn't the thing you do before you play, modding is the game itself.

I just installed QWEST! and it's like an entirely new game. I even got premium for one month just to download the 800+ mods for it. There are a lot of little quirks, like how my Xbox gamepad refuses to work with it now(even with GamePad++), and how my character just randomly sits all the time and uses her shield as an umbrella. Also, the game crashes randomly after a couple of hours, and there's no way I'm gonna troubleshoot that with that massive amount of mods. My son started a new game, first time playing Skyrim, and I just got him the top 30 or so mods that mostly just fix things or improve graphics and he's loving it. EDIT: Oops this was meant for the Skyrim thread, I had both threads open at the same time, and got confused

Does anyone know if three's a way to get the FallUI sorter to work with modded content? The subcategory folders are very nice. And I'm surprised that I can't find a mod that speeds up/removes the workbench animations.

Unfortunately the only way is to learn FO4edit and use the script they used to make FallUI's sorter: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/488260 Thankfully the instructions are pretty clear and it's real simple once you have everything setup.

Used my level 10 VANS boost to up my perception and grab Technologist, now I'm able to bust open ice machines and holy piss I'm swimming in garbage now it fuckin rules, the dude who made Horizon knows exactly how to make salvaging poo poo feel good. I do have to get Dogmeat to hold all my tools since I keep dumping them all in the workshop and leaving without a second thought  Plus now that I finally figured it out, Architect is really great. I always hated the lovely busted metal houses I was building in vanilla, so being able to just plonk down a building with foundations, doors, the works is such a time saver

I have a couple other tiny mods included, but Horizon changes so much that you pretty much have to play it on it's own. Some day I'll finally build this private vertibird

The one exception is Sim Settlements. Dunno if the latest Sim Settlements 2 got a proper patch yet but those two together are awesome, go hide in the Springville root cellar while you ask Sim Settlements to generate up some new towns/cities/forts to deal with in the places that usually are empty plots. Just know that some SS2 expansions/mods that add extra factions are really broken for the rebalance.

Other than the Horizon stuff (obviously) and the unofficial patch mod, my Horizon mod setup is a bunch of little stuff like the lever-action reload fix (only animates reloading the number of bullets that you reload, instead of always putting in 5), Everyone's Best Friend, Extended Dialogue Interface, removing the build cap for settlements, and other single-use fixes. Also Survival Options because saving your game shouldn't give you a chance for a debilitating health-draining disease that's expensive to cure (when you get it early on). I also don't trust a Bethesda game + pile of mods to be stable enough that I don't need to save all the time. Thirdly, removing the console in a single-player game was an asinine decision. I mostly use it to get unstuck, but also Danse's quest is buggy as poo poo if you don't make it your top priority as soon as it starts (and even then, sometimes he just refuses to acknowledge you outside, after everything is dealt with). Being able to tell the game "this is what you're supposed to be doing right now" is a good thing. As far as people consoling in thousands of weight units worth of capacity, so what? It's a single-player game, and those people probably don't want to play a half-assed Survival mode that doesn't even take the good stuff from New Vegas'. Horizon makes it feel more like a survival game or S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (specifically, that first mission where you assault a car park with just a lovely pistol and a bottle of vodka), rather than Water Baron Simulator, which is what 4's Survival mode quickly became (I only got the game after Survival was added and never played any of the lower difficulties but I'm guessing it's much easier to become a rich unstoppable wasteland king/queen). Clean water is a rare and valuable resource, so sometimes you just have to take the rads in order to stay hydrated. Eventually, things start to level off once you get a few perks under your belt and have an ammo bench, but that initial climb is a pretty fun scavver sim, if you like that sort of thing (which I obviously do). edit: I forgot the most important mods: Bullet Time, Load Accelerator, and Delta Wasteland Radio. "Hellhound on my Trail" is perfect for creeping through Far Harbor. Fifty Farts fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Jul 13, 2021 |

I also don't trust a Bethesda game + pile of mods to be stable enough that I don't need to save all the time. I don't know if it's Horizon or a vanilla feature, but looking at a bed in my game gives an option to sleep but also an option to save. Just using it to save doesn't have the disease risk (or increment your hunger and thirst by 6ish hours). I still like the consumable quicksave item from Horizon just because there's not always a bed around when you need it and agree completely with what you said about stability.

The caveat is it doesn't work on sleeping bags or mattresses, it has to be a real deal bed. I always keep a stash of four quicksave tapes just in case

I like the "sleep or save" mod. Still requires a sleeping location to save, but avoid the stupid levels of diseases (especially since sleeping for less than 8 hours in fallout seems to make you more tired than staying awake). I've not seen a reason to use items that let you save anywhere. There's only like two areas that don't have a million beds nearby anyway if you know where to look for them

Weird fuckin Horizon question that I dont know if anyone can answer, I need Enhanced Targeting Cards to finally build my own vertibird (different mod), but horizon seems to have changed turrets so I only ever get a single 5.56 bullet from them. I've managed to get like, two from rust devil robots but things were hectic and I didnt see which ones I got them from, anyone know a good way to find them?

Unless you install the DLC High-res pack which is super-heavy in terms of size and performance, yes, a lot of textures are that low-res up close.

I'm pretty sure it was horizon since I never saw anything like it before, but I got a distress call from Oberland Station and figured what the hell, I can plink off four or five dudes, only to find they were being attacked by 15+ rust devils  Garvey ate poo poo basically instantly but it was a really intense battle and was a ton of fun. It does make me realize theres no way to quick equip all my defense settlers though Laser muskets for errbodyE: Another thing I cant tell if its horizon or just vanilla behaviour I never saw before, some of the radiant encounters are small groups of Minutemen holding a location and it actually makes the minutemen feel like a real organization. The first time I saw them was before I had any real infrastructure for health stuff, and I was sneaking back to sanctuary from tenpines. Over by the plane crash I hear feral ghouls scrambling, followed by a loud THOOOM. I'm like "  That's a laser musket, what the hell?" And when I investigate I find five minutemen had cleared out the plane crash entirely  Great work fellas

Rinkles posted:I never did much with the vault dlc. Does Sim Settlements utilize it well/at all? It's basically just like any other settlement, nothing special added by Sim Settlements. I would recommend finishing the questline first before building up anything if you do decide to go for it. Another thing to keep in mind is this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12997/?tab=files It disables molerats and radscorps tunneling/teleporting. For some people the teleporting just straight up breaks the game. It causes saving to softlock the game and leaving the area interior causes CTD. For me it did all that and gently caress the Vault 88 questline because they're points where people are scripted to move and they would just stand there. It can apparently also happen in Vault 81 and the worms in Nuka World can cause it too, but that's a separate mod in the comments or a quick edit in xEdit. Granted you might not run into it, but just in case you do run into issues.

You get an extra menu while sneaking I think to equip them. I thought that was a Horizon feature, but maybe it was a Sim Settlements one? And I vaguely recall there's a way to arm all of them at once too.

The crouch to equip is definitely Horizon, if theres a way to equip classes instead of just people, I havent found it yet  I recently found out that the reason i could only salvage machines and vehicles sometimes is because the prompt wont show up if something is looking for you  hot drat I'm dumb sometimes
