If they managed to make non radiant-AI quests with that basis and hire good writers for the main stuff. They'd have some pretty insane content. Too bad they like not delivering/rushing games out and relying on mods.

Hrrrng. Welp, got my character built and out of the Vault, anyway. (Seems the neat eye collection for use with LooksMenu really needs those "optional" files, otherwise it's an Event Horizon character creator without the gore.) And obviously I've got something hosed up already, as neither Synth Gloves nor Synth Arm Armor work correctly - I can turn my hands (glove only) or most of my body (full armor) invisible, in 1st or 3rd person. Prototype Vault Suit works fine, so it's possibly something synth-texture related. (Using MO 2.0.8.1 since that seems to be stable and non-memory-leaking, from what this thread says.) Will gently caress with it more

TheGreasyStrangler posted:Are there mods that make settlements less complicated and more straight forward? I kind of hated that part of the game but it'd be nice to do a few simple things to get a decent settlement going rather than meticulously placing parts. The easiest way to do settlements is to never build a beacon. If you do a mission where you have to install a beacon to complete the mission, you just need to install it then immediately turn it off. Never recruit settlers. Most places already have settlers and enough food & shelter for those settlements. Water is lacking in some places, but those original settlers will never leave. You have to really gently caress up to lose a settlement without actually trying to do so. At the most, you'll need to plop down 2 water pumps and 2 basic turrets, and then you'll never have to screw around with a settlement afterwards. It sounds crazy to do it that way, but trust me: once you stop creating situations that you have to manage, you'll never look back. Big settlements are a complete waste of time and resources unless you actually want to do them. There's literally no point to creating significant settlements unless you invest in local leader & cap collector.

Yay! Figured out that there was an extra layer (the "data" directory) that was being installed by the mod/MO2, and thus the actual meshes/etc. weren't being found in the right spot. I'm not sure why one of the Synth Hand gloves is invisible in 3rd person, but now that I have *some* idea of what may be borked, I can look into that. Might have to actually learn how to pro game modder 360 nifscope, because the ED full arm does look neat, but the male version beats hell out of the corset one.  Maybe in a few months I'll have my mods set up right and be able to actually play... Edit - it's the Synth Arm Armor one - fixed the glove version for 3rd person, but the arm of the full armor is now 3rd-person invisible.  Also, the glove appears to be adding the entire synth arm without removing the flesh one, as the aftermarket parts clip through the meat.

Welp, after a lot of hassle, I got a whole lot of weapons merged successfully. A little heads up for anyone looking to do the same: 1. Merge all the .esp's with Merge Plugins 2. Get the Creation Kit from the Launcher because you will need Archive2.exe that's installed in Fallout4\Tools\ after the CK is installed 3. Unpack all the weapon ba2 files with Archive2 4. Repack all the resources into 'Main' and 'Textures' ba2 archives matching your plugin (ie "Guns.esp" , "Guns - Main.ba2" , "Guns - Textures.ba2") If you keep the resources loose without packing into ba2 files, you will get a bunch of odd crashes that will have you praying for death.

Speaking of aesthetic,  this looks good, albeit at the cost of first-person animations and all. <click for modlink> Back to screwing around, adding and changing things. Old World Radio - Boston is huge, and I like a lot of it, but might gouge out several of the stations and add my own musical selections. (No NIN, 8-Bit and Pee-Wee, thank you.) Lootable Vault-Tec Containers and Wood Crates certainly makes the rarer materials easier to collect, at least from Vaults. Might be a bit much, though.

But the single best radio station is Atomic Radio, made by the same people who did 3DNPCs for Skyrim.

I rarely bother doing that for myself. And they asked about making a metal arm work with other outfits in general, so editing outfits is a bit out of the realm of what seems to be asked for here. Why do you even need CBBE in particular for that? I hear that all the time, but all I see it used for is fiddly stuff I don't care about or amorphous hourglass women. And you can make outfit mashups with basically anything in Outfit Studio, can't you?

Hmmm, craftable bag that can be dropped, quest marker activates when dropped. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/27577/ Note: I haven't tried it out yet, but a cache-bag is still nice. Wonder if it'll work with Salvage Beacons? More interesting or amusing things: Replaces the settlers spawning at Sanctuary Hills with Rats you can put to work or move to any other town, or set to caravan. A Spawn Button was added to the workbench as well, to spawn rats.

I've barely added any of the clothing or armor yet, none of the weapons or power-armor mods, and I'm already at like 60+ mods.  Enhanced Gun Smoke *and* Dynamic Muzzle Shadows? Sure, why not...

After testing/reading through a few gameplay mods like Horizons, and trying Horizons more, what is up with the Fo4 modders and bloat? Every mod that does a good gameplay thing or at least interesting, just spirals out of control and starts changing everything. There is a locational damage mod which is a neat feature/addition then it also decides to add timed saves for no reason? Its like the modders get bored and feature creep takes over.

To be fair that describes basically every bethesda game's modders since morrowind, and there's more than a little overlap in mod scenes. You're right though, as much as having six dozen different xcom2 mods to do what I want to do and a bunch of personal tweaks to inis and stuff... I always have to fix these huge overhaul mods because the guy is a poor armchair designer. I'd rather have a poo poo ton of overly specific mods. MikeJF posted:I really just think that Bethesda should spin off a new subseries of Fallout: Rebuilding. I started this game expecting to never do settlements and ended up with 23 heavily built ones; I've been watching mods but what I kept coming back for was hoping I'd put together a mod stack where I could literally just scrap everything that wasnt part of the world geometry and put whatever I wanted wherever... and pave the wasteland and turn it to Institute level tech. The fact that -- as far as I can tell -- there are engine limits still preventing this is... highly disappointing to say the least. When I tried to see HOW far I could push my mod stack toward that, I found out there were MULTIPLE things stopping me and I would just have to try a poo poo ton of mod combos and see what fucks up less. Great. JainDoh fucked around with this message at 12:02 on Nov 1, 2017 |

Welp, threw in Modern FIrearms - I absolutely want a moddable FN-FAL, and can live with some level of tactispergery to it... but dear god all the additional poo poo. "Hey, random Super Mutant raiding party. All three packing .338 Lapua sniper rifles."  MF is geting taken out back behind the woodshed when I get back to the computer. (I liked the additional tactical/modern stuff for my STALKER Call of Chernobyl run, and I added enough guns and accessories via mods to 7.62mm to CTD on opening vendor inventories, but much like some of the radio stations and the Pip-Pad, it doesn't fit the way I want the game to be.)Maybe someone might make a T48 mod, with a Trilux option.  I did pimp out the Handmade Revolver of the Strong (+25% damage Legendary, IIRC) into .45, kept it short for better hipfiring and threw on a can. That cleared all of Corvega nearly flawlessly, and I think I'm going to miss it when I restart the game once the modset is complete. The bullet-time mod I added makes for *disgusting* gunfights.
