Flesh Forge posted:My only really big complaint with Sim Settlements 2 is it forces you to acknowledge the main quest, was really annoyed about that. Conqueror let you completely thumb your nose at it. You can at least tell Jake "nah gently caress those guys, we got what we need let's move on" which is nice.

Boba Pearl posted:Just use wabbajack to install a huge curated modpack, it'll honestly be better that way and you'll actually play the modded game. I helped contribute to magnum opus (one of my mods is in it and I collaborated on the perk overhaul, among other things) so while I am biased as hell it is a really fuckin good modlist. I can also answer any specific questions about it you may have going in.

Arivia posted:general curiosity question: how does it do in terms of creating weapon/armor diversity? fallout 4 feels very shallow in terms of different weapons, like everything has variants out the wazoo but you've still only got two shotguns and there's what, four pistols? midway through the game having signed on with the railroad I have the deliverer and tinker tom's rifle and once I trick those out, that's it unless some legendary creature drops some AMAZING mod version. it's the thing that bugs me the most about fallout 4's gear I think (and it feels like there's similar issues with armor, where combat armor/synth armor is the cap unless you're going to power armor or railroad garb). It adds quite a lot of weapon and armor mods and does a pretty good job of integrating them in a way that makes sense. You don't get bombarded with a billion "go find x weapon out in the wasteland" quests immediately upon exiting the vault. I'd say New Vegas still wins as it has the ammo variety too but it's a drat sight better than vanilla in my opinion.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Friend recently went looking at modlists for fallout4, is there a wabbajack pack that is rated higher then the rest? believe he tried to download either magnus or enhanced edition and it failed to install on the final mod. Magnum Opus is extremely good, which I am slightly biased about since I collaborated on the perk overhaul and it includes a mod I made. Enhanced Edition is built for survival and MO is very much not, so that could also influence things. If you post which mod they're missing I can try to help.

MO2, xEdit, and F4SE are still very much the preferred tools. It is worth checking out Wabbajack for a handy installer that will download and install an entire mod list for you. There's a few for FO4 in various flavors.

Internet Wizard posted: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. 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.

ThaumPenguin posted:I'm quite fond of the old but very functional Journal of the Sole Survivor, which adds a holotape that you can edit to do some immersive diary roleplay, or in my case, keep to-do notes and reminders without having to clutter my desk. What I'm wondering is, would it be safe to mark it as an ESL in FO4Edit (not an actual ESL, just an ESP marked as such), or would that break something? It's a single holotape placed on a desk in your old home so in many ways it's a quite light mod, but on the other hand it's a drat word processor for Fallout 4, one with a both a Cell record (for placing the holodisk) and a Quest record attached to it. You can have xEdit check if it's ESL'able by putting "-PseudoESL" (without the quotes) into the launch arguments. If you run xEdit with that argument, any mod file starting with [FE in the filename list is ESL flaggable. In general, adding a new cell record is a point against it as that can cause issues if anything else tries to reference that cell. My gut instinct is that it's probably okay but check with xEdit first.

I thought maybe I could salvage it, but MOFAM is trash for a wide variety of reasons and you have to do it all manually because the dude still refuses to get on board with Wabbajack. Play Magnum Opus or something similar instead. Also Thuggy is a racist piece of poo poo that makes bad mods and should be avoided.

LOOT is dependent entirely on the community list which is not updated as frequently as it should be. It's a very useful tool if you add custom rules to it to sort things but it's never going to be a substitute for diving into xEdit and seeing what the conflicts are and what should go where. Do your best to not blindly trust it because it can and will make mistakes and put things in the wrong spots.

Glazius posted:It won't break with an alternate start, but the game does make use of the original dialogue lines in kind of a voicebox capacity. You'll probably have the option to talk with the SS2 characters about the spouse and son you totally have or those times before the bomb where you completely existed. I like the way SKK's synthetic player deals with this. You get a mission briefing that basically says your character is making poo poo up to try to blend in and not seem suspicious.

If you have the FO4 Script Extender installed, change the launch option to that instead of the normal exe. If you don't have it, you might need it for those mods that arent working. I checked the mods they're using and they're all just straight audio file replacements, no F4SE needed.

Looks like you're running the Fallout 4 exe through mod organizer instead of the F4SE file. Click the dropdown where it says Fallout 4 and set it to F4SE instead. You may have to add a new entry if it's not there by default.
