Talen_Soti posted:As someone new to modding FO4 on PC, what are some recommended QoL and playability mods? If you don't want to use the modpack Boba Pearl linked, here's my list of stuff to go along with Horizon (a pretty major survival overhaul, but it doesn't touch everything). Stuff in bold is definitely recommended, everything else is more on the QoL/"add to taste" side of things. None of them make major gameplay changes (other than Bullet Time maybe), they're just mods to make playing the game less annoying (imo). -F4SE (https://f4se.silverlock.org)- Fallout 4 Script Extender, a framework that's required for a lot of other mods. It needs to be updated whenever FO4 gets an update, but thankfully that's pretty rare nowadays. -Mod Configuration Menu (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/21497) - lets you adjust settings for compatible mods (like Unlimited Survival Mode, Bullet Time, and Quick Trade from my list here) -Everyone's Best Friend (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/13459/) - the only must-have mod, imo, because it lets you bring your dog and a non-dog companion at the same time -Unofficial FO4 Patch (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4598) - since Arthmoor stopped cutting out voiced lines and other "I know better than the developers" bullshit, it's a decent bugfix mod (the lines weren't subtitled, you see, so they obviously weren't supposed to be there) -Unlimited Survival Mode (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/26163/) (if you play Survival difficulty) - lets you adjust survival mode parameters to your liking (I just re-enabled the console and the ability to save, because gently caress whoever at Bethesda decided their game was stable enough to not need the console or the ability to save; I think it also enables a sleep-or-save option at beds, so you don't need to risk disease just to save if you want to stay "true" to Survival mode as implemented) -DefUI (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10654) and Full Dialogue Interface (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1235) - these make the UI more betterer -Clarity (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/31991) - minor visual tweaks (softening fog borders, no blur while aiming, and a few other little things) -Faster Workshop (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/35382) - less delay to access the workshop menu -Settlement Limits Slashed (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/14823) - if you're on PC, you probably don't need an artificial limit on how much stuff you can place at a settlement, or if you do, the limit should be much much higher than it is. -QuickTrade Redux (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/41101) - lets you use a hotkey to immediately go to the trade menu for vendors (or the inventory menu for settlers and companions) -Pip-boy Flashlight (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10840) - self-explanatory -Bullet Counted Reload (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/41178) - reloads one bullet at a time instead of doing the full-reload animation for some weapons (only really noticeable if you use certain guns, but it annoyed me enough to get a mod to fix it) -Delta Wasteland Radio and the Extra Tracks additional file (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11087) - adds a delta blues radio station, I think it's particularly fitting for crawling through Far Harbor. Your musical tastes might differ, so if you don't like the blues, find something you do enjoy! The actual in-game radio station uses a bunch of songs that were in the CONELRAD mod for 3 and NV, if you ever used that. -Vault 81 Mole Rat Disease Fix (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/8908) - only checks for the molerat disease if you get hit by a molerat during the quest. Not if they hit your companion, not if they hit the robot you can activate during the quest, only you. -Bullet Time (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/9325) - drains AP to give you slow motion. it's pretty great to pop off 3 headshots on 3 different enemies, ending combat before it even really starts. -Darker Nights (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/191) - another self-explanatory one If you play Survival mode and realize quickly how half-assed it is, and how easy it is to still break the game entirely (Ask Me About Being The Sanctuary Hills Water Baron), maybe check out Horizon (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/17374). It's pretty comprehensive, and has its own settlement building/job/production system (Architect, a sort of sub-mod that's part of Horizon) that probably won't play well with Sim Settlements (SS2: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/47976). I haven't used Sim Settlements myself, but it gets a lot of positive talk in this thread and other places, so if you really want to dive into town-building, you'll probably want to look at it.

I still play a lot of of Fallout 4 and I played through Chapter 2 of Sim Settlements. Just a word of warning if you are going to start up a new game: it crashes a lot. I think if you have a high end PC that can handle all the scripts in the background it isn't too bad, but I have a mid-range system from 2015 that runs things fine on medium settings and I would have random crashes left, right and center. Usually it involved the new content in some way, whether it be approaching a settlement or going into a new area that the mod adds in. If you want to play it on Survival Mode, you should get a mod that enables saved games and also the console.

Flesh Forge posted:idk I played through it and had almost no crashes except for the things I already know to exclude, like the ridiculously overbuilt premade settlements I had a fresh install and everything. It seems to be more stable on high end computers. As for the survival mode, I tailor it to be more like New Vegas' survival mode in that you need to eat, drink, and deal with diseases but I enable fast travel and save anywhere.

My experience of Sim Settlements 2 on a pretty beefy rig is that saving the game inside a settlement zone locks up the program for a period of time concomitant to the number of SS2 plots you've got going. It doesn't crash but it WILL make you wait 3-5 minutes before letting you continue.

If you haven't played since 2.0.0m went up, they believed they found a fix for that, had to do with stuff not getting disposed properly such that a save was waiting for it to time out.

I found the first thing I dislike about sim settlements 2. I built a wasteland theater, and it spawned a shitload of npcs, actors, and audience members (aren't my settlers supposed to be the audience?) who just hung around in the way. I removed the plot, and they didn't go away. Worse some of them are set to essential. I'm worried I'm gonna gently caress my game up if I markfordelete them.

pretty sure that's not included in the base mod, you should take that up with the mod author and see about a safe way to remove them if they don't despawn automatically.

Yeah I vastly prefer the New Vegas weapon variety. They in general also felt much more fun to use even though the actual shooting feel in 4 is much better. The energy weapon selection in 4 is pretty poor and some kind of grenade launcher is badly missed. There is lots of 4 weapon mods on the Nexus but like 95% of them are all modern tacticool guns.

New Vegas has some great weapon design — there's a ton of weapons, but there's a clear sense of progression between different weapon types, and many weapon mods and ammunition types work not only to improve stats but also to provide unique benefits for using that gun over other options (Such as the scopes on the 9mm and Trail Carbine, or the silencers on the 10mm and 12.7mm pistols). Someone who wants to play a cowboy character will find steadily improving weapons throughout the game that match their archetype (Such as the .357 revolver leading into the .44, followed by the Hunting Revolver/Ranger Sequoia), while an EW-focused character will find a clear line of progression from the Recharger Rifle into the Laser Rifle, the Plasma Rifle, and finally the Plasma Caster. Man I love New Vegas.

I KNOW I'm running around a wacky postapocalyptic wasteland and there's finally colors other than sickly green and there are trees and I don't want to shoot a dumb real gun, I want the weird poo poo

It adds quite a lot of weapon and armor mods and does a pretty good job of integrating them in a way that makes sense. You don't get bombarded with a billion "go find x weapon out in the wasteland" quests immediately upon exiting the vault. I'd say New Vegas still wins as it has the ammo variety too but it's a drat sight better than vanilla in my opinion.

A note about Magnum Opus, because I went ahead and installed that and then some other lighter poo poo on top for my PA playthrough I was asking about - most of the tactilol guns are actually pretty okay for the setting relative to older Fallouts but they're all hilariously overpowered, so be careful injecting some of the more advanced ones into leveled lists. Also the brotherhood overhaul mod changes all their weapons into some unique laser that does plasma damage which is also OP as poo poo (but very fun to use tbh) There's a classic gauss rifle in the list that I adore though. Great gun. E: oh and I think the UMP mod is busted and creating invisible guns that crash at the workbench so be careful with that Psycho Landlord fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Feb 27, 2022 |

I recently saw a tiktok video that said that the Automatron DLC wrecks the random encounters in FO4 because the rust devil and robot spawns are overtuned. Is this true and if it is, is there a mod that lowers the spawn chance for the robots so other encounters can appear?

Is this true and if it is, is there a mod that lowers the spawn chance for the robots so other encounters can appear? They specifically are a problem while the quest is in progress because they spawn too much, and automatron auto-starts very early and is easy to stumble into. Grab a DLC delay mod and set Automatron to start when you want it to, then just follow it through to completion when it does start.

as far as "overtuned" goes, if you're on survival difficulty yes some of the encounters (especially the first one) can be pretty hard, because combat in general in FO4 is pretty stupid. mainly the assaultron arm havers will do a ridiculous amount of melee if you allow them to land their lunge stab move on you, also the more advanced bots tend to blow up for a stupid amount of damage. the shooty types aren't very much different from any of the vanilla enemies, as far as I remember.

The event that actually starts automatron is on a very commonly traveled path to Boston and subsequently is really easy to accidentally trigger if you don't know its there. Once you enter the cell and the bots spawn, that's it, automatron's going, and so rust devils and robots become the predominant random spawns you meet in the wasteland until you finish the quest and things normalize a bit. This is compounded with them being a bit tougher than most stuff you meet at level 14 or whatever the vanilla start level is.

Reducing the size would reduce the amount of memory they take up on your video card which depending on your card might be vital or might not matter that much. It’s not the kind of thing that would affect performance right until you run out of video ram at which point it tanks your performance massively.
