sephiRoth IRA posted:Is there a mod out there that adjusts combat to be more lethal on both sides? I want to be able to generate Tarkov-like combat where different guns are ideal based on armor you're going against, etc. Does anything like that exist? I was thinking of doing the frost mod but heard it's pretty brutal beyond just the combat. Survival Options does this and a ton of other things although armor type is not really a thing in Fallout, especially in the late game everything just has billions of hitpoints and NPC armor is completely irrelevant

hey, the midnight ride mod says not to use stuff like mator smash etc. Any idea why? I thought it was important for setting up levelled lists in skyrim. Edit: same with things like LOOT. Also does anyone know any quest mods that change the storyline of the main game instead of clobbering at least two factions? Tankbuster fucked around with this message at 09:20 on Apr 9, 2023 |

Looks like that guide uses a custom file for the load order to be imported in MO2 and using LOOT would probably change things around. Not a lot wrong with using LOOT, but always check if a mod description specifies a location, I.E. at the start or end of the load order etc

A lot of thuggy poo poo is very edgy / dumb / problematic yeah, but i guess that's just the way with big story mods. Hell, vanilla FO4 has that as well i think. But to me it just feels like Saints Row 3 and 4 leaking into my fallout and i don't really mind it v0v And i dont want to support that guy being a piece of poo poo, but i also like content for game that i don't (can't) take serious.

Other than telling the person who wrote the random gunner attacks in Sim Settlements 2 should have realized that a 17+ person raid happening every day is bullshit. And, no, defence doesn't help as I increased the settlement defence to 200+ at Abernathy Farm with no increase of food or junk and they kept spawning there.

200 defense is on the very low end, with SS2, get some settlers trained up with high agility and upgraded defense plots and each plot is like 250+

Is minimum defence calculated differently? There was 3x many defence as the total of food and water resources, and there was no junk gathering at the farm.

Dr.Smasher posted:Lily talks way too much. It's pretty impressive so far, I think it's solid. The environments the devs built are great. The voice acting is pretty good across the board. I haven't finished the mod yet but I am enjoying it Yeah technically speaking it's all really great. Only encountered a couple bugs on the whole playthrough. And I mean I get this is supposed to be a retro-future apocalypse full of raiders and other assholes, but the entire FSD just reeked of sanctimony, hypocrisy, and cruelty. I dealt with most of it just fine, even though a bunch of it seems to have been lifted from some teenage edgelord's 20-year-old LiveJournal feed. This sounds like a bitchfest, and I suppose it is, but nobody I know in meatspace plays/cares enough about Fallout 4 for me to rant to, so it all goes here. Bit of a wall of text coming. Spoilers used in case anyone reading hasn't played through it yet. -Sheriff Charlize Fury Road. What the hell? Talks about caring for families so much, gleefully recounts slowly executing gunners (and seems to be happy when she learns that many of those gunners were related and that some of those relatives could watch their deaths). I also love that the voice actor for this gem of a person chose to be credited as Anonymous. -Lily... Appears to be an extreme sadist what with her constant talk about literally folding raiders up, or when she shoves that one person's head up the other person's rear end in Nuka World. And everyone at the FSD just basically either eats that poo poo up or does a *Shrug* That's our Lily! bit. Also the whole you are her sidekick is kind of a neat/novel concept, but is kind of silly in a game designed to make the player the main character (I want to play my/my character's story, not yours) - more of a subjective thing than anything, I know. I wish that she'd actually died instead of the whole Institute capture subplot. -Doctor Herbologist Scientist Tits n' rear end... Christ, she was the worst character by far. First because of the whole Mary Sue bit (come on, she's a hyper genius scientist, military super strategist, apparently the richest person in the Commonwealth, and looks like a pubescent boy's wet dream while doing it?). -But what really gets me is just how ruthless she is. Another of those cares-about-family types but is actually a sadistic, murdering psychopath. The final straw for me, story-wise, is when she hatches the plan to drown the Railroad. You follow through with it, and then go to the debrief. If you try to call her out on her cold and callous bullshit, she calls YOU the rear end in a top hat and tears you a new one. That pissed me off enough that I tried to just kill everyone in the FSD, but apparently they are all flagged essential. Now if this was all the point of the writing and story, then amazing. But I get the sense that it isn't. I want a mod for that mod that just lets me kill them all and loot the FSD. The Commonwealth would be better off without them.

So I've finished my modded playthrough of Skyrim to finish the expansions, and I'm moving on to Fallout 4 to tackle the expansions for it (I thought I just had Far Harbor, but I found out Automaton has a questline, and I forgot about Nuka World). I was going to use The Midnight Ride as a baseline, and build from there. I saw this video by ItsYaBoyBrandyBoy on the balancing in FO4, and I was thinking about using the mods shown off there, though I dunno if I want to tweak it to the point where's it's super-difficult. I was going to use Equipment and Crafting Overhaul (ECO?), since I was told that serves as a replacement for AWKCR and Armorsmith Extended. Beyond that, here's what I was looking for or was curious about :
That's all I can think of for right now. If it helps, I thought about doing a playthrough siding with the BoS (first playthrough was with the Minutemen). I dunno if there are mods that pertain to the various factions. I know there's a couple that let you broker piece between them all. Max Wilco fucked around with this message at 03:53 on May 7, 2023 |

It also sounds like there's a lot of steps in setting it up. That said, it looks to be a very extensive overhaul, and it's even got its own wiki (https://fo4horizon.fandom.com/wiki/Horizon_Wiki), so I'll have to check it out in the future. - One mod I thought about using was the Seasons mod, but it looks like it got removed from the Nexus. Dunno if there's a story behind that. I just thought to ask because I know it's a pretty old mod, and I thought it might cause issues.

If you are looking for a quick and effective player home thing, I would recommend the Rebuild Sanctuary Mod. Its quick to set up, lets you live the suburban americana dream with your new buddies from concord and it genuinely feels nice rebuilding otherwise destroyed stuff. As an aside the modern weapons replacer mods seem like a pain to set up because the popular ones will go out of their way to replace ammo calibers.

The ultimate in player homes to me: the virtual reality creation club addon where I go to a flat empty plane that extends in every direction forever and has no terrain features whatsoever. Build a VR chair in any settlement I go to, go into VR, have all my gear and materials in one central location wherever I go. Can build a VR chair in the DLC, can build a VR chair in Homeplate, can build a VR chair in Goodneighbor with a different creation club that adds a player apartment there. Pop out of VR with tons of things to sell and the merchants are right there.

That removes the necessity of eating/drinking/sleeping and enables fast travel, and the rest of Horizon's mechanics work like a charm. It's really an amazing overhaul of the game, and I can't play FO4 without it now. Set up is just like any other mod, you just have to put it in the right load order (which is on the wiki).

There seem to be a couple of mod for rebuilding Sanctuary. There's Rebuild - Modular Sanctuary Pre-War and Post-War Build Set, Sanctuary - Modern Residences Rebuild with Repaired Roofs and Rebuild Sanctuary. The Rebuild Modular Sanctuary seems like the most popular one, and it links to the Homemaker mod, which either adds new furniture and decorations to building. There's another mod called Do It Yourself, but it's been hidden on Nexus. Instead it looks like you can only get it on Bethseda.net, or on Creative Family Mods (which has the Seasons mod, but you have to join a Discord to get it  ). I dunno how you go about getting a Bethesda.net mod install into MO2.Flowing Thot posted:The ultimate in player homes to me: the virtual reality creation club addon where I go to a flat empty plane that extends in every direction forever and has no terrain features whatsoever.

Past the survival stuff, though, it seems like there's a lot that it changes, and along with the other recommended mod (Architect), it sounds like something you have really have to tailor your mod selections around. I just ran through the Midnight Ride modlist, and skimming through Horizon's description and its mod compatibilities, one of the Midnight Ride selections (Better Power Armor) doesn't work with it. (although I guess the point of profiles in MO2 is so you can do separate mod setups). There's also alternate INI settings as well. I'm probably making it out to be worse than it is, but it just seems like there's a overwhelmingly number of things to track if you're running it with other mods. Still, I'll look into it some more. Along with load order, I also found a list on mod compatibility (https://fo4horizon.fandom.com/wiki/Guide/Mod_Incompatibility), so that helps.

Compatibility can be an issue because it changes basically every single thing already. Like, it even redoes how magazines work as a game element, enemy spawn placement, item sorting, fixes wiring settlements, how you gear up friendly NPCs, breaking down items and weight. Architect alone is a big addition and would be worth the price of admission if you think you want to engage with settlement building at all. If you dig what it offers (and I'd encourage a glance) then it'll replace like 80% of your modlist and you can focus on getting your tree textures, radio channels, and grenade reverb settings just right. E: If you liked the idea of Better Power Armor, maybe read what Horizon does with PA as a litmus test. See if it sounds exciting/intrigues you, or seems like the wrong direction.

So I don't know if this is a bug with MO2 or something I did, but I went to make a new profile in MO2, only to find that it had made a profile for every mod that I installed. I started removing the profiles, only to realize that it was deleting the mods as well. So I guess I have to start over. Max Wilco fucked around with this message at 03:58 on May 8, 2023 |

Yeah, Fallout 4 does seem to be complex with mods compared to Skyrim SE. I've been redoing the Midnight Ride (TMR) guide after messing it up the first time (probably a good thing that I messed it up first time around, because I realized I missed a few mods). I'm almost done with it, at which point I was going to make a separate profile to add my own choice of mods. However, I had some more questions.

If you're willing to go the Creation Club route and pay for content, I got the Charlestown Condo a few years back on a whim and it's really solid as a player home. Central location, multiple furnished floors you can leave or scrap, tons of room on the 2nd floor to build any crafting/display/storage you might want, nifty diner on the entrance. I like sending companions I'm done with there. There's a key quest to get in, but it's blessedly short. Another possibility is one of several mods that add bunkers and interiors to existing settlements or combat areas. Basement Living, Commonwealth Express Courier Stations, any of Elianora's house mods, Aloot's Home Plate, any of RedRocketTV's Better Homes & Bunkers mods. I mean there's tons of stuff out there, but those are player houses I've tried and liked.

You sort things on both panels of MO2. Left side is basically how loose files are overwritten and just keep things organized. Something below another mod if they have files conflicting the lower mod wins. I typically group mods by type and use MO2’s function to create categories to put them in. So like essential / bug fix type mods I put at the top stuff like the unofficial patch, buffout, things of that nature. The work my way down with like a category for UI, a category for gameplay etc… Most mod’s don’t really effect things outside their category, but some do and I just handle these on a case by case basis with a special catch all section towards the end. The right panel is the load order that the game uses and you are probably used to this. Where you organize all your ESM ESP etc…

if you click on a mod in the left panel it will mark everything it overrides with green and everything it’s being overridden by with red if applicable. its nowhere near as important as the right panel but very occasionally issues may come up

I just upgraded my computer and got an itch to play Fallout 4 again, for some ungodly reason. I like Horizon. It makes so many changes to so many things that the other mods I have are just extra little fixes and tweaks, like texture/weather stuff, and mods like the unofficial patch mod, faster loading screens/workshop/terminal text, Bullet Counted Reload, Extended Dialogue Interface, and Delta Wasteland Radio (the blues station, might be goon-made, very good no matter who made it). I probably don't even need to mention the obligatory Everyone's Best Friend, which was even specifically called out in the Horizon install guide as optional but highly recommended. Dogs are outstanding!
