For the modlist: AWCKR should definitely be included, as it ties together a bunch of different weapon mods and enables weapon mods built to be compatible with it to be crafted. Besides that, here's a list of my mods that I've written: Carry Weight Modifications: Lets you set a base carry weight, which is essentially the same thing as using modav carryweight. What's more interesting is that this mod also lets you set carry weight per strength level, so you can customize how much strength you want to gain per level up. Craftable Guns and Weapons: As it says on the tin, puts in a crafting station that lets you craft, well, guns and weapons. There are a number of other mods that do the same thing, several of which are more complete, namely Crafting Workbenches. Crafting Workbenches is certainly more expansive than my version, though I will say that I was the first person to figure out how to setup weapon crafting for fallout 4. Nonetheless, if you want a more minimalist setup, Craftable Guns and Weapons is the way to go. If you want lots of options, go for Crafting Workbenches. Create Your Own Difficulty Rebalance: A surprisingly essential mod for lots of people, this lets you customize the damage multiplier for both you and for enemies. If you find you're dying too quickly or tanking too much, this mod is for you. Same goes if you're annoyed by enemy damage sponginess, or think you're cutting through raiders too quickly. This mod allows you to fine tune exactly how much damage you deal and how much damage you take. Customize Legendary Enemy Spawning: A slightly finnicky mod, this lets you customize the rarity and spawn chance for legendary enemies, as well as, optionally, disabling randomly spawned legendary enemies altogether. Read the description as it goes into more detail, but basically it lets you determine both the pool of potentially legendary enemies as well as the chance those enemies will spawn as legendary. If you want nearly every enemy to be legendary, or none at all, download away. Customize Power Armor and Jetpack Drain: I really loathe fusion core management, so I made this mod that lets you eliminate/reduce (or increase) the amount Power Armor and Jetpack use drains the fusion core. Easy Lockpicking: Sets the sweet spot to be the entire lockpick bar, so turn right and it opens. You still need the perks however. No Fall Damage: Do I need to explain this one? Unbreakable Power Armor: ibid. Your power armor durability never decreases. Doesn't apply to companions since doing so causes some facial bugs. Weapon Balance Overhaul: Probably the mod I've spent the most time and effort on, if you exclude the time spent figuring out how to implement weapon crafting in the days before FO4Edit came out. A complete overhaul of all the weapons and most of the attachments in the game, the design principle I work to is making sure every weapon in the game is good at something, and that they are balanced relative to one another. The result of this is that almost every weapon in the game is stronger, because I wanted to make sure they had at least one area in which they excelled. I hated how quickly pipe weapons became obsolete and how the combat rifle was basically the best thing to use in every situation, so now if you have a favourite weapon, you don't have to feel like you're screwing yourself over.

It does - that's how all compatibility patches are made. I mean you probably aren't using the "merge plugin" feature for just two or three compatible mods, but all a merged patch does is manage record conflicts automatically.

Saint Sputnik posted:Record conflicts yeah, but the actual reference number for any piece of equipment or anything is going to be different for everyone depending on where it is in your load order, isn't it? That's why you need to use the "help" command in the console to get the ref ID for any item you want to give yourself from a mod, the mod maker could just tell you a number to use but that likely won't be the same for your own game It'll be different sure, but it's not something you need to worry about, otherwise compatibility patches would be impossible. The plugin reference in the formID won't be the same, but it's automatically calculated based on load order so even when making compatibility patches you don't need to worry about it. Fallout handles it just fine, as does FO4Edit. To test it for yourself, rearrange your load order slightly and then load up the lot in FO4Edit. You'll note that the loadorder prefix of the formID will have changed, and it's no different for anyone else. Just make sure that your patch has its masters set up properly.

Saint Sputnik posted:Mapped out my Perk Paths, here's the first draft. Paths which are fully or partially mutually exclusive are noted, and progression in each path isn't necessarily linear as shown. Tell me if it makes sense and if things are a good thematic/gameplay fit. thematically it works fine. However, just as a general principle - I would expand perks or create new perks before I started restricting the old ones.

The problem with merged patches For the xbox is that there's no way to, well, actually make the dang thing. There's no way for end users to create merged patches themselves, and given the lack of FOMOD support there's no way to provide different installation options that are compatible by default.

Azhais posted:Yeah, after I hosed up my mods (external to any program) and reinstalled fallout entirely I decided to try MO2 (the latest beta that supported 1.5) instead of NMM since everyone kept saying it was better and NMM was "unintuitive" (whatever that means, just hit the drat checkbox, what's to be intuitive?) and it was a real hassle getting anything functional out of it. I was tearing my hair out trying to get even trivial mods working right, half of the installers didn't seem to work, and I finally gave up on it entirely after trying to install a mod and it kept giving me poo poo about "Can't figure out how to install this, here, have a drag and drop interface and I'd like you to rearrange the files until this box goes green". Yeah honestly, MO is miles and miles better than NMM for skyrim, but MO2 has been super glitchy for fo4 so I've just stuck with NMM.

well you have a poo poo processor and poo poo video card, so yeah that makes sense you get poor settings. My laptop is ~roughly~ equivalent or a bit more powerful (until throttling sets in) and I am generally happy to get 30 on low @ 1080p. I would advise you to buy a r480 when they come out at the end of the month for $200 or so, or a used GTX 970 for around the same price. The latter is much more available. You'll wanna replace that CPU eventually but that's a much more expensive upgrade.

Seashell Salesman posted:I haven't noticed anyone ITT mention Full Weapon Rebablance yet. It's a bit of a shame that the author hasn't updated it since January because I've been playing it with Impervious Power Armor and the AI improvements in Arbitration and the resulting combat feels much better than Vanilla to me. personally i prefer my own weapon rebalance mod linked in the OP (it's also on beth.net for those console players out there!) but for a more technical rebalance this should serve as well, as I mostly focused on gunfeel and balancing weapons against one another.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Was thinking of getting back into fallout 4 soon and this was a great post. plugging my Weapon Balance Overhaul mod linked in the OP. Rebalances and overhauls vanilla weapons, making sure every weapon is good at something, so pipe weapons aren't utterly obsolete and the combat rifle doesn't overpower literally everything. Also has the side effect of making vanilla weapons usable after you've installed modded weapons.

Kimsemus posted:I'm running about 200 atm. Yeah honestly i was running 220 or so plugins, but if you're comfortable enough in FO4edit it's really easy to write a merged patch to address all incompatibilities. like I literally had no incompatibilities beyond things overwriting the unofficial patch and the item sorting mod, and those I could manage myself. The other thing is that unlike Skyrim, Fallout 4 is more stable generally and there are very few scripted mods out yet.

Kurr de la Cruz posted:The "More Spawns" mod is actually really good. It comes with a holotape with a bunch of presets (low, medium, high, insane) and then you can go and further customize the spawn amounts on a per race basis, humans, wildlife, mutants, ghouls, even flying bugs (by default, all profiles are set to 0 because the guy hates them or something) -- I've only had one issue with it during the silver shroud quest you have to temporarily disable it with the holotape, because otherwise the raiders it spawns gently caress up the quest. After that, I just turned it back on and went on my merry way. well don't link it or anything

Somewhat annoyed that I missed out too. Then again the fallout 4 modding community is loving poisonous as hell, and mod users are obviously universally terrible. I have 3 quarters of a million unique users and lemme tell you the amount of poo poo i've gotten? no thank you. So no judgement on my part Cirosan, from one mod maker to another. At this point, gently caress what the users want. I'll make mods because i enjoy them, on my own time.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:Are there any mods like (or supplements to) the Weapon Balance Overhaul that actually address everything added by DLC? WBO's author hinted at working on something, but that was about three months ago and I gotta get my game on finally. So I'm the author of WBO, and to be entirely honest I just haven't been at all interested in fallout recently. Add working full time, classes, filling out a sf86, on top of general disinterest and you'll have a bad time. Fortunately, my summer job has finished and I literally placed an order for a very fancy $2400 laptop with a 1070 like, fifteen minutes ago, and if that doesn't get me back in the saddle I dunno what will. So two weeks or so, that's my ETA. In any event, WBO is very savegame friendly. You can also just make your own changes in FO4edit as well if you get tired of waiting!

The Aorus x5 v6, which came out yesterday. Has a fancy 3K screen with GSYNC and I really really dig the RGB keyboard. It's also 2.3 cm thick, which is pretty dang tiny for a gaming laptop. Runs Fallout 4 at ~40FPS Ultra... in 4K. Something like 100FPS @ 1080p.

staberind posted:Well, What I do is find a similar weapon for crafting, duplicate the recipe, but get it to spit out my weapon. Phone posting so no link but a good starting point might be to download my weapon crafting mod, which is basically a super lightweight tutorial on how to implement custom crafting. As for merging levelled lists, if you just create a merged patch in FO4Edit it'll handle all your levelled list conflicts appropriately. Any additional mods you add are easy to add to the merged patch, just apply filter for cleaning and click and drag in the event of a conflict.

Saint Sputnik posted:Thought it was safe to get back into this game now that there's no more DLC coming to systematically gently caress all my mods, boy was I wrong. Using Mod Organizer2.3 or whatever the very newest version is, and when it's not just outright CTD'ing I can't even get simple things like a radio station or texture replacer to work. just use NMM. MO is absolutely fantastic for managing texture overrides and the like, and I can't wait till it's at the point where it's usable above NMM. But while it works decently for most people, when I'm modding, I like something that's a bit more convenient. give it a few months and I'll recommend it over NMM.

FuzzySlippers posted:Any mods that add guns balanced to WBO? I actually tend to find that mod added weapons tend to fit very well with WBO by default, as most mod authors make their weapons, well, better than vanilla at least and overpowered at best. The overpowered ones tend to still be slightly overpowered ones, but most fit in comfortably without much if any editing alongside vanilla weapons.

Kokoro Wish posted:I didn't realise it was a goon mod. It's a good mod too. Single shot rifles might need toning down a touch though. Yeah that's going in my next patch. Single shot rifles were so aggressively terrible in the base game that I cranked them way up to compensate. The hunting rifle is definitely getting a nerf next time around. The combat rifle too I think. It's an absurdly, ludicrously powerful weapon in the base game. Given that my balancing is relative to base weapon values, it was quite tricky to figure out how to work around it. It'll likely get a small damage and Rate of Fire nerf too I think. Dlc weapons may take a hit longer, simply because I've not yet had a chance to play with them yet. But my laptop is getting here on the 18th, so expect something before the end of the month.

lilspooky posted:Oh yeah? Hmm so maybe just hold off for now.... If you do decide to play now, I recommend my Weapon Balance Overhaul combined with my create your own difficulty mod! Rebalances weapons fairly well and you can choose how much damage you deal and how much you take. Lightweight and surprisingly powerful. Not yet updated for DLC weapons, though it'll play fine with them. They just won't be balanced relative to a modded game. I really gotta learn scripting though so I don't need to keep relying on lame as hell FOMODs. I'm sure it can't be hard to get a user to select a number and feed it to a script that runs a console command. Just have an item that when used prompts a list of values, pass that back to a script that edits a GMST. If anyone knows papyrus scripting, hit me up.
