Alright how do I make Magnum Opus playable? Because by default it makes everything so dark I can’t see anything without using my flashlight, and I’m really not in the mood for Doom 3. Would be cool to be able to actually stealth. I checked the discord and saw somebody ask how to make things lighter and they were mocked by the author and some others for asking, so I’m not about to ask there.

Not really sure because it doesn't use an enb. I also don't really do magnum opus anymore because yeah, that dude is really unpleasant.

There's a mod called Interiors Enhanced that darkens interiors that you could try disabling. Failing that, an ENB or turning up your monitor brightness. There's not really any way of adjusting the lighting in FO4 otherwise, for some dumb reason.

Anybody tried out Life in the Ruins and are able to give a rundown on it? I've never really done a survival run in FO4 before and I'm interested in trying it out but every list but that one appears to be focused on crushing balls in vices.

Is there a mod pack that basically turns off the main quest and settlement building entirely, and turns the game into a survival-horror kinda thing like where you gotta do delving into ruins to find bits to improve your little hideout? And more valuable items are in more dangerous items? Saw this video last night and it really pinged that part of my brain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLYDcEM8e9Q

Frost is pretty good for removing all quests and familiar NPCs and locations (iirc it's set in 2087 instead of 2287) entirely, in favour of lore you can follow if you want, but don't really need to. Unfortuantely the edited dialog is pretty bad, some of the dialog choices don't make any sense Non-synth Nick Valentine has a "quest" but because there are no quests it's kinda hosed up in the first place if you've already done stuff out of order, also your dialog choices make absolutely zero sense and sometimes don't even match what you actually say, and the responses rarely have anything to do with what you've said (maybe this is because of insanity? There's a sanity level and you lose sanity by killing essentially anything). Then there's the thing that made me realize Frost wasn't for me - there's no real reward or progression for anything ever. If you play 10 minutes of Frost you have already experienced pretty much all Frost has to offer. There's no incentive to keep playing when you know it's just going to be the same thing over and over. That's with all the content added from the Frost guide.

Fallout 4: Frost and Fallout New Vegas: Dust are fun walking simulators with pretty atmospheres (when the graphics don't break and turn everything into searing neon) and insta-death every five minutes, and are pretty much whatever you want to make of them story-wise, which can be a fun Fallout experience, but not likely something you'd want constantly

Not a full modlist but a mod by SKK with a few specific requirements https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/60305 I haven't played it but it looked interesting. Supposedly makes it a bit of a State of Decay like experience. https://skkmods.com/mod/fallout-476-open-world/ Removes all human NPCS and lets you customize the world a fair bit. Also haven't played it but I heard it has a lot of options. These tend to be more on the "turns off main quest" rather than removing settlement building. I think the survival horror mods still like using settlements as home bases.

Frost has the Insanity mechanic, special perks for being insane/being right on the line of insanity (Slayer of Metal Men give you melee buffs vs. robots, but a debuff to Energy Resistance, IIRC, and you can't take the perk if you're sane), and you can mitigate sanity loss by way of eating (cooked food, mostly, unless it's cannibalism), drugs (Mentats/Thorazine (which I still haven't found)) or alcohol. Going insane buffs your melee in general, debuffs your ranged accuracy (like, down to zero, unless you quickscope), tanks your Charisma, and gives you audio and visual (supposedly) hallucinations. Radiation is much more prevalent than in vanilla, as the War just happened, so I hope you're not one that likes taking shortcuts through the water. Or being outside in general, as radstorms occur frequently. Feral ghouls emit a radiation aura, especially the glowing ones, and *they* can resurrect dead ghouls with an AoE radiation burst. (Always headshot ferals.) Water is a requirement, and comes in dirty (radioactive)(containers or piped/open bodies), which can also cause disease, boiled (rads, no disease) and clean/purified; you can boil your own if you have dirty, and wood for the fire, and you can purify if you have the single-use water filters (buy ($$) or make from schematics and components). (Not sure if the settlement purifiers will do for this, haven't tried that yet.) Disease - eating radioactive grody sweet rolls from the postapocalyptic floor isn't a good idea. Injuries (especially from creatures) can infect, you you'll need either healing ($$$, if you can find a doc) or antibiotics (usually found in hospitals, and we all know how much fun even vanilla can be there). Guns are mostly hammed poo poo - low quality/damage/reliability, but don't worry, ammo tends to be rare. (Or stupid-expensive from merchants. And still low quantities.) However, Frost is unleveled, so you might find a Fat Man right way like I did. (In the hands of a power-armored Army Remnant, so I got sent to murdertown.) Speaking of power armor and (some) merchants, and workbenches/crafting stations: there's a lot still in the same locations as vanilla. PA can be anything from Raider junk to T-60 (locked-up PA is military), and may be complete, or less so, down to bare frames. Fusion cores are *rare*, except in the vanilla generator locations. But, PA provides protection against the radiation, not to mention enemy attack, and increases your carry weight. And you *want* increased carry weight. Because everything has weight. And overloading slows you down. (Will the wolves catch you before the radstorm hits?) Not just slows you... *can cause injury*. (The wolves will win, because you were hauling so much poo poo you broke a leg.) That broken leg? Magic Stimpack won't fixed crippled limbs - you need a doctor ($$$) or specialized medical supplies (buy ($$), loot or craft). So, you've got a broken leg, have an ongoing tic from disease eating your health, radstorm is here and bursting up to 60 rad/sec at times, you have a mostly-destroyed sawed-off rifle and eight rounds of ammo, you're so insane you can't hit anything even at point-blank range, but you've been saved from the wolves! Because cannibals (or a warbot) have shown up, killed the wolves, and know when you are. Welcome to Frost. (And I'm not even running Hardcore/permadeath.) This is the YouTube playthrough that dragged me back to FO4 again. Dude is much better player than I am. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2n9oQb30xg

Only humans I haven't seen ID'd as "Survivor" have been (Metro) Federation, (Metro) Alliance, (Psycho) Maldenmen and (Psycho) Themis Cultists. Even the wandering/fixed surface merchants show as Survivor. (Have only found two wanderers, and three fixed-location traders: the one up the fire escape near Customs Hour Tower, the drug dealer near the robot repair shop south of the hospital downtown, and the Cat House near the vanilla Gunner overpass roadblock, west of Lexington.) "Civilians" will warn you (sometimes) before going aggro, and will show up highlighted in yellow in VATS. Until they start attacking. At that point they're bandits, and are treated as such. <sucks down eight quarts of bourbon, 12 Mentats and a dozen dog steaks to make the voices go away> (You can see this in one of the early Wanderer videos, where he has to try and slip past the guys down in the subway without pissing them off.)

So how is modding on steam deck for fallout 4 if anyone's tried it? Just through creator kit unless you want to get complicated? Edit: oh creators club stuff is paid mods huh well forget that then I'm sort of tempted by one and would like a sort of fallout 4 Plus experience and I'm a bit of an idiot when it comes to mods NLJP fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Jul 21, 2022 |

Well first step is see if mo2 or vortex has a Linux build and go from there I guess. Failing that you could install manually and everything should work no idea if f4se would work though.

Can't speak for Steam Deck but I've played Fallout 4 with F4SE using MO2 with no problems on Linux (Fedora). Granted this was all installed through Lutris which made it a piece of cake. This was a few years back so I've no useful memories of what I had to do to get it working other than being shocked by how little effort was required. Googling for 'lutris steam deck' returns some promising links so you might be in luck.

Edit: oh creators club stuff is paid mods huh well forget that then I imagine it would work just fine on the deck since I'm running a modded Fallout 4 on Garuda linux perfectly, just install Fallout 4 and then change the compatibility to Steam Tinker Launch (https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch) and installed ModOrganizer 2 via that. Had to manually download F4SE and then point MO2 to it but it runs great with 183 active mods.

Sim Settlements 2 is a mod that would be a lot more enjoyable to me without the Settlements. I like the story a lot but the settlement system feels even jankier than the already bad vanilla experience.

it can get pretty obtrusive at times, yeah. It's annoying how many of the quests is gated behind an obscure build threshold like "must have 5 poo poo percolators at level 3" or whatever. I really miss Conqueror, where you're directly encouraged to tell the main quest to go gently caress itself

Which of these modlists is the most over the top reinvention of FO4 preferably with more rpg stuff rather than necessarily hardcore survival gunplay? I got a 3080 so gimme all the poorly optimized graphics bling, but I'm curious how different fo4 can be from when I last played in 2017.

I'm replying to my own post but Life In The Ruins seems like the only FO4 modlist that's comparable to the big Skyrim modlists. It has some quirks as the author plays on a controller so some what I consider mods are missing but they are easily added. Overall, it does a great job of really transforming FO4 and I think its greener overgrown environment is by far the best I've ever seen the game look. It has some solid expanded quest mods and nothing half-baked or cringy so far. I tried Magnus Opus and it seemed like a big mess as it had lots of bugs immediately at the start. I'm surprised most FO4 modlists don't even use the Stock Game feature which makes for a more stable experience especially if you want to run multiple lists. I had assumed FO4 modding was comparable to Skyrim but it seems to have slowed down within a couple years of release. I'm not sure if that's just the enthusiasm gap between Fallout and TES or about the specific inequities of FO4. Still, LiTR has enough to keep me busy.

Several skyrim modlists and I think just life in the ruins on the FO4 side do a thing where they install their own copy of the vanilla game files to run off of rather than using your existing install of the game. Since everything's all in one big installation folder this way it helps with stability and load times, with the caveat being it takes a few extra gigs on your drive. And yeah, of the FO4 modlists I tried I think Life in the Ruins wound up being the better one, tho FO4 lists in general are quite a bit behind Skyrim last I checked.

That's what Mod Organizer does - keeps all the mod stuff in a seperate directory and just calls up what it needs; think the only changes to the default install directory are adding FOSE and the like. Speaking of mods, caught a YubTub video last night, "Fallout 4: Defending Lexington from the Covenant as an ODST". Good LORD the changes... Lexington was overgrown like a Mayan ruin that hadn't been seen since the Spanish came. Couldn't figure out the visual modes (seemed to be switchable), but never played HALO, so... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWice4aFvCs

The "Stock Game" feature being discussed here involves creating a clone of the default install directory. That clone is the one you'd be adding script extenders and such to, leaving the default one entirely unchanged. This way you don't need to reinstall the game just because you'll be using a slightly different set of files in your install folder. This also means you can have multiple separate modded game installations at the same time without any conflicts. It's sort of a spiritual expansion of the original ideas behind Mod Organizer (and does very much rely on it to function).

In fact, I think the "Stock Game" feature is the less-efficient method.

F4SE also takes a couple seconds at most to uninstall, you just delete its folders and .exe's and it's gone. I don't know of any utilities that actually overwrite any vanilla files.

It's also specifically something done with big modlists that have a shitload of their own bespoke patches and stuff, you don't do it for a list that doesn't need a bunch of compatibility BS done for it in the first place. It's a concept created to make installation and troubleshooting easier. I don't think anyone's trying to create a new paradigm or whatever this suddenly turned into an argument about.

You all should check out the Nvidia GTC Keynote video from today. Their new RTX Remix software looks pretty drat promising. You can read about it here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/rtx-remix-announcement/ The possible ability to add proper ray tracing to fallout 4 goes well beyond putting tits on a mole rat. Gentlemen, I believe we may soon be putting tits on the DX11 renderer itself. Edit: Corrected for DX version. TheCIASentMe fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Sep 20, 2022 |

Despite talking about Skyrim in their announcement, they require much earlier games: "NVIDIA RTX Remix will launch soon, making it easy to remaster supported DirectX 8 and DirectX 9 games with fixed function graphics pipelines." Key point here being "fixed function graphics pipelines". Even Oblivion required shader model 1.1, which is newer than that. I haven't checked, but there might be a minspec code pipeline hanging around in the Netimmerse code that still works, but I doubt it.
