Also I tested this mod for removing the annoying level scaling without papyrus goofs. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/73976

Been making some compatibility patches for various mods using Better Locational Damages guidelines, its pretty fun for a learning experience. Got to learn how to strip the tacticool poo poo from a bunch of them though  Bakelite/faux-futuristic aesthetic or begone!

Yeah, I don't care for the ginormous amount of COD weaponry mods. PPSh-41 lookalikes ftw. And the assault rifle is fabulous, pay no mind to philistines.

I don't know how to feel about the vanilla assault rifle. It's certainly different and I like that the weapon designer made something unique, but the silhouette is bad. It looks like a submarine.

From a "its meant for power armor usage" perspective its ok, but in the hands of others its a bit odd. Though tbh nowadays I find the combat rifle more annoying/boring.

I feel similarly about the handmade rifle. It's just an AK.

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/56254 https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/64725 I use a remesh mod for the assault rifle that still has it be chunky but less ridiculously so. I'd probably prefer to have it replaced with the G3/FAL style R91 from earlier games but weapon replacements have a bad time when loaded into my saved and break with alarming frequency so I'm happy enough having nicer aesthetics without the full change

It is weird, supposedly due to an optional item categorizing component in FallUI from what I read on their forums. I can only guess introducing it midgame screwed with object internal ID's somehow.

DON'T DO IT, PERIOD.

That depends. If the items are being injected into leveled lists (so they can appear as random/enemy loot), then yes, adding them midgame can absolutely gently caress with things. If you're adding things midgame that just have a static spawn point and don't appear anywhere else, you're generally fine AS LONG AS there aren't any other mods touching that same area. Under no circumstances should you be removing mods then loading saves without them. As mentioned above, this is leaving orphaned entries in your save that will, at some point, completely break the game. Bethesda games are actually remarkably good at just trucking along when potentially game-breaking errors happen but then catastrophically breaking later on. There was a long-standing bug with settlements where deleting items connected by power lines would remove the items but the power lines would remain in some sort of weird limbo. The player couldn't see them or interact with them, and for all intents and purposes they didn't exist, but eventually enough would build up in the game engine that the game would get incredibly unstable and most likely crash whenever getting even remotely near the settlement. It's kind of like going "oh hey, my stomach hurts" and instead of going to the doctor, you just ignore it as it gets worse and worse until suddenly you're in the ICU because you had a small hole in your stomach lining and now you're septic and dying.

Yeah I understand, I was just caught off guard since a UI submod interacting with those internal systems in such a way was unexpected. I still don't see the salvage ingredients for items outside those FROM the SS2 mod, but I imagine thats due to the exact mechanical reliance on ID's described. Id rather not restart a 14 hour game since I just got to Chapter 2 of the mod, so I'll deal with it.

Can't really blame you, I love Sim Settlements but the time to ramp up and get everything going is loving enormous, especially once you've played it a few times. There should be a compromise option to skip the early parts of unlocks given by quests rather than just unlocking EVERYTHING. Also I tend to hit a wall once I get to the HQ management stuff because it's just baffling to me, just totally inscrutable.

I think the UI sorting stuff actually does that by rubbing itself all over the item names/IDs/something, so that actually seems like it could cause horrible problems if it's not there from the start.

After half a dozen SS2 starts my problem with it is the amount of story content that I can't be arsed to play anymore. Fortunately there's quest skipping, and after getting the all the plot types in, it's easy enough to build up the settlements and start unlocking most of the higher-level ones. Which bits of the HQ management made it problematic? It works reasonably well given the limits of the UI, and I never had any problems, and I'm dumb, lazy and casual.

I def respect the mod tho. Its well polished and the full voice acting is definitely an impressive feat. Most bugs I hit I assume are mostly just engine or mod-conflict related, with the latter ofc being my own fault. I will prob do continue Chapter 2 today since the vanilla story is meh. Ive yet to start any DLCs tho, which order are they recommended to do?

Lol SS2 chapter 2 kicked off, but the Gunner "RNG capture a settlement" quest captured Sanctuary and they all spawned in the main house in a blob. My settlers and guards just sort of stood around and ignored them so had to wipe them out myself.

I'm playing FO4 for the first time, stacked with a decent amount of mods--mostly weapons and graphics, and a few quest mods--and one of those quest mods apparently adds a new bit of map that is completely borked. This is Devil's Marsh, some googling tells me it's from the Vault 1080 mod. If I go forward I clip through the ground in front of the gate so that's not ideal. I ran MO2 and told it to optimize my load order but that doesn't seem to have helped anything. Any idea?

how did you optimize you load order. If you used LOOT then you are kinda hosed.

in general, things that are large huge mods go to the top of your list. Most big modpacks whether they be wabbajacks or nexusmods collections come sorted in a particular manner.

In MO2 the list on the left is "priority", those on top are more important. Thia occasionally matters (mod descriptions usually tell so if it's necessary), while the list on the right is the load order; mods loaded in first get their data overwritten by those loaded later - which matters only if two mods modify the same stuff.

From what I'm seeing in various comments on Nexus the Vault 1080 mod conflicts with a bunch of other mods that change the same area, load order won't really matter without a compatibility patch.

I fell prey to the hype and ended up buying FO4 GOTY on sale. I played the base game back in the day, never really came back to it. Couple years back I started (and never finished because of course) NV run with Viva New Vegas. Is The Midnight Ride the FO4 equivalent? Any other good guides/go-to mods people recommend? Like, dunno, I remember back in the day everyone in the Skyrim modding thread recommended one of two perk reworks, or something like that.

Edmond Dantes posted:I fell prey to the hype and ended up buying FO4 GOTY on sale. I played the base game back in the day, never really came back to it. That's fine. The most important difference from a modding perspective (compared to New Vegas) is that there's no jsawyer equivalent, ie a mod created directly by a developer that overhauls much of the game to make it better and as part of that mandates survival mode. There ARE good survival mode overhauls for Fallout 4, but they're not mandatory in the same way that jsawyer was (and Fallout 4's survival mode works better by default). The other big category of mods for Fallout 4 is settlement and building stuff. There's really no way to tell whether you're going to enjoy that before you play the game, and when you do play the game, some factions are big on it (the Minutemen) and some pretty much don't care (the Railroad). The Midnight Ride list you linked there doesn't include any major overhauls to either survival or settlement building (just minor QoL fixes to both), so if you get into the game and go "no, I want this harder in terms of survival style" or "no, I want to build the largest and coolest places I can" you might want to pivot to a different list that matches those preferences. But for a first time if neither of those are really important to you, that looks fine. If you want a Wabbajack list instead, I highly recommend Welcome to Paradise for a first time run, that's how I played the game and it was rock-solid and stable through the entire base game, plot DLCs, etc. It does recommend buying one (1) creation club item, a backpack. (that's paid DLC not included in the GOTY version)

Sim Settlements (now SS2) is a big bunch of settlement building mechanics stuff but it's also a gigantic assortment of very high quality quest content with very polished, professional voice acting. It's very much its own thing but you should check it out, it's got some great stuff in it. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/73394 People have hacked a very functional dodge roll into FO4 and it makes combat immensely more fun: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/70647 https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/70757

Thanks a bunch. I'm not a huge building stuff guy but the story stuff from sim settlements sounds neat so I may get that. For now I'll grab base TMR and a few of the 'extended' mods and start tweaking from there.

yeah you can simply turn on a city plan for a particular settlement and your settlers will just build literally everything, you don't have to actually place much of anything except for a starter item here and there.
