The companion NPCs all got that overly dolled up perfect second life wife look that makes my skin crawl. I guess I might as well do some sort of trip report. Your first companion is found in the insane asylum where she has been imprisoned for hundreds of years. Oh, and she's naked. I never got much further. Supposedly it changes the endings so you don't have to murder everyone save your chosen faction, but it also turns the Institute into "the Sinstitute". That's not a typo.  so yeah, really lore friendly

Well, I definitely can't compete on Pimp Hats! :confuoot A couple of goons have asked about the mod I'm working on, and actually one of the most common questions I've gotten in general is "how lore friendly is this?" so I figured I would record the opening scene and you can decide for yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgFR9DXsy_c (Remember this is my literal first ever mod soooo....yeah.) The main story definitely takes place "alongside" rather than within the Fallout universe per se (I wrote this as a short story years ago), but it fits neatly with it as the setting is also post-apocalyptic. And Kit, the companion that comes with the mod, will react to things you do in the main Fallout story itself, and will ask about them/want to talk about them. Your answers have a big influence in how she interprets what she sees, and what she's been through herself. Another thing I really tried to do with this project is to improve the way dialogue works and flows, which was almost one of the hardest things to get right. So yeah....no waifu stuff or anything. (that's probably the second most common question, in a way that suggests that's what a lot of people actually want. Yikes, sorry but no!) edit: Oh, and the voice of A.G.N.I.S. is missing right now (Still tweaking how I want it to sound in game) so there's just subtitles for those few lines, for now.

Then go into the Sim Settlements performance options and turn down multithreading.

There's a new version of this assault rifle parts mod, now with a version that just adds a bunch of parts rather than adding extra effects or replacing the existing parts. New parts from version 1 too. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/34545 https://twitter.com/Project_F4NV/status/1038230678742216704 This looks like a really solid version of the Fallout 3 10mm pistol, which I never really liked. I particularly like the stripped down version. Erd fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Sep 8, 2018 |

I got Fallout 4 and finished it in early 2017, and only recently re-installed it to start a new game and chill out/play Fah Hahbah and the other DLC, and I need some advice: Is Sim Settlements worth installing? More specifically, is it worth it for me to install it, given that: - I hate the settlement system - I don't want to build things using FO4's god-awful interface - I don't care about any of the settlers, and I don't want to spend time managing them - I'm mostly okay with keeping all my extra stuff in a toolbox at the Red Rocket - but I like having lots of junk on hand to mod weapons and armor, and I remember that having a bunch of settlements connected with supply lines scavenging junk for me meant that I was the Garbage King of the Wasteland the first time I played I can't quite tell from the mod's description and faq whether it's for me or not. I assume that it can't possibly be as terrible as the vanilla settlement system, but I don't know if it's actually good, or at least, good enough to justify whatever hassle goes into using it. What's the consensus here on that?

Almost certainly yes if you install Rise Of The Commonwealth because then you can just set spare followers to run settlements and they'll automatically grow and build shops/resource gathering poo poo for you that works much better than the vanilla stuff. Like literally, you claim the settlement, drop a mayor desk down, set a follower to it using the interface, and then it automatically builds everything else for you. And you can make it super hands off too if you want, it'll ask you about that usually when you start the mod for the first time. If you want more functional settlements you can also get Industrial Revolution which adds a bunch of specific resource producing buildings. Sim settlements is a loving wonderful mod because you can be as involved as you want with it, you can let it run entirely autonomously if you want, or you can get really involved and play it very mechanics-heavy.

It definitely has the potential to simplify the experience for you. When you run the mod for the first time, (and find the appropriate holotape), there's a configuration menu that asks you questions about your intended playstyle and adjusts the mod's settings appropriately. The thing that might appeal most to you is the fact that in many cases (at least in my experience), laying down plots can be a set-it and forget-it experience. Plop down a resident plot, make sure there's power, your dude builds his house. Want him to farm as well, throw down an agriculture plot. The mod will automatically assign a homeless settler to a residential plot, and an unemployed settler to a job, if you tell it to. It will also randomly assign what kind of house/farm is built, so you don't have to micromanage that either if you don't want. The best part is that if you find you enjoy what Sim Settlements adds to the gameplay, there's a whole trove of extra plots available on the Nexus, as well as city plans, which entirely remove you from the nitty gritty of even deciding what goes where. Mind you, I haven't really experimented much with city plans yet. E: ^ What he said. E2: v And that fella. Plotac 75 fucked around with this message at 09:03 on Sep 21, 2018 |

Sim Settlements is probably one of the best mods (not just in features but just generally like, keeping feature bloat down) in fo4 or any bgs game If you don't care for settlements you can just have the towns auto-build for you so you can assign a leader/mayor whatever and it has a pre-planned layout for the town so you can leave and over time it just builds up on its own (personally i recommend disabling building requirements in settings cause I found that to take too long like really long without donating a bunch of mats which kind of defeats the purpose of set it and forget it imo) vanilla sim settlements only has companions able to be mayors but if you search nexus for like settlements leaders theres a bunch of options for making npcs that usually come with some settlements (like surges, etc) leaders and you can pick out what you like. sim settlements works in a way even if you have two overlapping mods for leaders it wont conflict, you'll just get two separate cards for the same leaders and you can pick which one you prefer edit: even for settlements you dont want to just automate completely sim settlements is good cause it gives you a bunch of ready to go plots for stores (also interior plots if you want to just plop down a store or something inside a building like some settlements have) or resource gathering like farms or junk mills. these will level up over time to have more inventory and fixtures as well personally, go with the 3-in-1 sim settlement package unless you're on console and really tight on space i guess Berke Negri fucked around with this message at 09:07 on Sep 21, 2018 |

Sim Settlements does so much for the settlement building system, and I hope kinggath's next big issue to tackle with it (if he still hasn't been hired by some game company) is actually making the settlement system have a substantial effect on the Wasteland. It's stuff like the basic design for Red Rocket Truckstop being a fort for defending Sanctuary, but in terms of the world it doesn't really do that, much less act like a military base for the Minutemen should be acting (sending out patrols, etc.)

Word of warning regarding Sim Settlements, I put the performance level in the holotape at ultra, and approaching certain settlements made the game crash, especially around the star light drive-in settlement. I had to manually delete that settlement in console to stop it from crashing. Not sure if this happens to other users.

The Castle is one of the weaker Rise of the Commonwealth settlements. Unlike settlements which feel like they have some sort of identity such as Red Rocket (a fort), Abernathy Farm (tons of food), Finch Farm (big scrapheap) or Jamaica Plain (a hotel) it just feels like a bunch of farms and shops built in the wreck of an old fort, rather than any sort of minuteman HQ.

I had to manually delete that settlement in console to stop it from crashing. Not sure if this happens to other users. They posted an article recently about this, some settlements force the game to load other settlements simultaneously basically and the script engine can't keep up if you don't stay put for a couple minutes. There are ini tweaks that reduce it somewhat, and not building in all of the related areas can avoid the issue. Uncapped fps far worsens the issue and makes a crash literally inevitable when you eventually do the wrong action minutes or hours down the line. Tldr: fps lock to 60, and if you see settlers standing in a clump just chill out at the settlement for a while

Thanks to everyone for the good advice! I threw Sim Settlements into my game with everything set to be as automatic as possible, and it's been hassle-free enough to make me not dread walking near settlements, speaking to Preston, or listening to Radio Freedom. (If I had one wish, it would be that mayors were entirely optional and towns would just build themselves as soon as I picked a city plan, but going through one awkward menu interface to assign a mayor is no trouble at all compared to having to deal with literally every part of the vanilla settlement system, so I'm fine with it.) So far they're all low-population and I'm clearly going to have to run around and set up the supply lines for them eventually, but the initial experience has been good.

Do yourself a favor and get IDEK’s Logistics Station: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/28945/ And optionally Salvage Beacons: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/18757/ The former automates supply lines and the latter allows you to empty your pockets into a container and have the settlement of your choice come pick them up. Both require you to build something and assign a settler to it but it’s a minimal hassle and makes life so much easier. One thing to note if you’re using Rise of the Commonwealth is to wait until the city gets built up a bit before placing any custom stuff or it will get built over or removed IIRC. I used a settlement expansion mod so I built mine outside the vanilla boundary the ROTC settlements use.
