Is it possible to stream a modded version of FO4 from my PC to my Steam Deck? A lot of the big mod packs I've looked at seem to require you to launch the game from MO2 but I'm only familiar with launching games remotely through Steam itself. I wanted to try out Life in the Ruins but I've got a neck injury currently that prevents me from sitting at my desk for long periods.

No idea how well it'd work on the steam deck, but I just tested this and it worked for me on my laptop->desktop streaming: On the desktop in steam do the "add a non steam game to the library" option, and add the modorganizer2.exe from your LitR install. Then on my laptop I was able to launch MO2/Play life in the ruins without issue, but it did take forever to launch compared to my usual parsec playing.

Should work fine since the Steam Deck just mirrors the display on your computer in my experience.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to stop this hud message spam, any thoughts? I have MCM installed but it's not showing up anywhere in my game. GOG fo4, not running the next gen update

Looks like a broken interface installation for SS2, and if MCM isn't showing up, you likely totally hosed up your game data folder and should try again with MO2 Install things to your actual game folder locations very, very sparingly and only if there's a good reason

Used MO2 for all downloads & installs, so I just assumed it did things correctly. Thanks!

Ok, the HUD spam was definitely a load order thing- once I cleaned that up a bit it seems to have gone away, still wrapping my head around MO2. No dice on MCM yet but I'm attaching a screenshot in the hopes that maybe something jumps out to you fine folks:

Other than the hud spam and no MCM I haven't caught any obvious failures, but I made adjustments to both the left and right panels and now just kind of unsure if I should let LOOT go for another pass

LitR's Wander profile has support for Steam Deck (though it doesn't include Sim Settlements 2, for performance reasons), here are the instructions for setting it up. I don't use SteamDeck, so I can't verify any of this myself, but the LitR creator does, so I certainly hope it works.

Of the 3 modern Fallout games, which one has the best and most experience-altering mods?

Almost certainly 4, especially with London coming eventually here, and I think the Fallout Miami thing is still going. Horizon and Frost are really game altering, and there are some good wabbajack lists to make it into a horror game too. NV does have tale of two wastelands which lets you do 3+NV at the same time. Beyond that you've got Dust (which is by the same author as Frost iirc, both turn their respective games into harsh wastelands), and Nova Arizona which is in beta last I looked e: I forgot about Fallout New California for NV as well, which is sort of a 2->NV prequel

Are there any good wabbajack lists for someone like me who's interested mostly in new lands/quests and new followers? Those were my favorite things when I got back into Skyrim a couple of years ago.

thinking about playing this game I've had since launch and not touched for more than like 3 hours. I don't really wanna get into the weeds of modding everything but is there a good one of those ENB shaders you can slap on it and make everything a little more atmospheric?

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/81859?tab=description Someone ported the new BA2 format to the older version of Fallout 4 for those of you that don't want to update. Just tested it and the new CC content loaded fine on my non-upgraded copy.

I confirmed the Life in Ruins new install works great. Haven't tried it on the Deck yet but was able to get it installed on my PC using Wabbajack pretty effortlessly. Good to know the new update was pretty easy to circumvent with a downgrade.

The weather and lighting mods it recommends are good if you’d like that too, but they’re not actually required, despite what it says on the page. It only needs the F4SE, ENB helper, address library, and ENB lights overhaul mods to function.

I reinstalled apparently a few days after the update. Do I need to hold out for a bit before adding a couple basic QoL mods? Really probably just like FallUI and the one that shows your whole conversation response.

Really probably just like FallUI and the one that shows your whole conversation response. If it doesn't require FSE you're probably good. If you're not sure, read the comments on the mod and there's probably info on whether it works or not. I'm currently using FallUI and the Extended Dialogue mod and they both work great.

Does life in the ruins change how the minutemen quest works? I did the opening bits, Preston made me general, but no settlements seem to need my help and there hasn't been any movement on the castle stuff. I don't have any MM quests in my journal

I am playing Fallout 4 on Hard and focused on agility and VATS. Is there anything I can do to actually make the game challenging, be it mods or otherwise, or do I just have to accept that it is not going to be very difficult if I use VATS? I mean sure I can make enemies into bullet sponges on very hard or download some mod I am sure to give them a million HP but that is not very interesting?

Just following up to say that after much, much toiling in forums and ancient reddit posts, I discovered that if you are using the gog fo4 and MO2 and MCM, you need to add -forcesteamloader to f4se launch arguments for MCM to work. Glad I finally fixed it.

I don't have any MM quests in my journal LitR includes a mod called "Who's the General?" that's aimed at reducing Preston's quest spam. Ask him how he's doing and he'll give you a quest. Or at least that's what's supposed to happen. That's at least what I found on the Discord. I've only yesterday completed The First Step quest, as I had the misfortune of getting assigned to clear out the raiders from Slocum Joe Corporate HQ, which meant I had to get past a Sentry Bot (thank you Robotics Disposal Site Fatman), supermutants, synths, a "seaclaw", some kind of critter called "Deeppincer" and let's not forget "The Winged Terror". Luckily the latter three were too busy fighting each other to deal with me. https://twitter.com/ThaumPenguin/status/1786084788924821964 The raiders themselves seemed to be just the terrified huddled remnants of some greater party, seeing how there were only four of them and everything outside was terrible. I am now level 10. On the return trip my character developed Alcoholism. Needless to say I had an absolute blast ThaumPenguin fucked around with this message at 01:43 on May 4, 2024 |

If I use BLD as a combat mod, what's a good set of loot scarcity and hardcore difficulty mods to accompany it? I'm reluctant to use Horizon because it's gameplay heavily relies on settlements and I'd prefer to ignore them for my next playthrough. EDIT: It's not that I can't find any, it's just that it's not obvious which ones are going to be an appropriate match. Corsec fucked around with this message at 03:09 on May 4, 2024 |

Cheesing the AI's pathfinder is not very satisfying, just try to maximize non-VATs damage and be super tanky? while you will eventually be super tanky just with levels (as will most of the enemies) use the dodge roll mod, it fixes the whole lame combat problem the vanilla game suffers from: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/70647 base mod https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/70757 extension, adds souls-like invincibility frames so if you dodge well you take no damage (and it looks great)

I'd easily believe it's the worst possible path you could take to get there.
