Aylis Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 Added the missing xSE PluginPreloader to 'F4SE'. Atm i'm reinstalling the game (misclicked and accidently deleted it). For now i'm only working on a maintainance run as i'm waiting for 'Fallout London'. Also there are strong indications that Bethesda is pulling an AE for Fallout 4 too. 1 Link to comment

Aylis Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) Update V 3.2.0 Integrated the hidden update (when i had no access) into the guide. Updated links: [Bodyslide] CROSS Brotherhood Recon - Fusion Girl Bodyslide Edited October 13, 2023 by Aylis 1 Link to comment
Aylis Posted October 13, 2023 Author Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) Just got through 'Armor' 'World'. There have been way more changes than i expected... I'll propably have to make several updates to cover specific groups. Putting everything into one update (and an update to the guide is needed) would be hard. _________________________________________________ Updated links: Side Aim Framework Functional Bridges (got removed from Nexus) replaced with Accessible Bridges Sim Settlements 2 all chapters are now included. Removed 'Chapter 2' and 'Sim Settlements 2 Enhanced' as both are included in the 'SS2 Pack'. Removed the second entry of 'Auto open doors'. Removed Ketaros Treasures Enhanced Patch as it is now included. _________________________________________________ Finally got everything installed (plus a few new things). I also flagged all mods that are safe as ESL With everything installed we'd easily run into the limit of the mods the game can handle (so far i got 122 which could be flagged). Once i found which got an open permission i'll upload an updated file for them so you don't have to do that yourself. First testrun is looking good so far. The new setup for NPC seems to work fine...

Aylis Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 'IKAROS' is a pain to handle. Consider the mod to be ADVANCED. 1. Bodyslides are not in the correct category. 2. You need patches for every armor you want to use (and there arn't that many available). I'll add those later in 'Patches'. 3. There doesn't seem to be a reliable way to turn back once you go android. Face can get messed up. I keep it in the guide as it is in itself a good mod. But be prepared to run into some (solvable) issues at your first run with it. Spoiler 1 Link to comment

Aylis Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) Going to go through all mods again to find replacements that are either ESL or ESP flagged as ESL. Right now i'm at 217 (ESM plus ESP), including Sim Settlements 2 Chapter 3 and the AAF patches for it. Got to see if i can push that number further down. Edited October 20, 2023 by Aylis Updated number 3 Link to comment
DarthNyriss Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 You could always merge some together. Mods that don't depend on other mods, and so forth. I've seen Skyrim lists use this to great effect. Link to comment

Mods that don't depend on other mods, and so forth. I've seen Skyrim lists use this to great effect. Last time i tried this i got so many questions and PM that i won't repeat that mistake in a guide. So anything more complicated than flagging ESP as ESL is out ( i even had users asking me in which order they should install the listed mods). _________________________________________________ Looks like i got all i could do atm. A few more armors (with patches for IKAROS) in, NPC reworked, locations too, SS2 integrated, and a few weapons either replaced or removed (maybe i'll readd some in 'Optional Weapons'). The issue is that we use quite a few older mods that never got their ESL treatment. And, as long we don't get an unlikely update, there's nothing i can do. _________________________________________________ OK, gone through everything. 'World' and 'World and Quests' will be merged (never liked having two groups for that). 'SS2' will be moved into its own group for those who don't want to use it. 'Patches' got quite a few new entries. Tomorrow i'll make the next update... _________________________________________________ Fixed the line in the water (ENB related bug). Found the imho best combination for ENB and weather. Good performance and looking very nice too. Fixed a few brown faces in 'Diamond City'. _________________________________________________ Finally found a temporary(?) fix for the 'invisible corpses bug'. While 'ZEX-ZBG' works fine with living NPC, it gets confused when it tries to apply a body to an already existing corpse. I'll upload a fix 'til we get a better solution for the issue.

Aylis Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Found a few bugs in my updated build here, but managed to fix them. Reworked a few descriptions. Diamond City at night: Spoiler __________________________________________________ O.o This was a wild goose-chase... Got to 'Goodneighbor' and found a texture bug. And, after a few hours, i found the culprit 'Luxor's Parallax' was causing the warped textures. But then i had a bug with the 'CCC Neon Flats' as the entrance was borked. So more shuffling of mods and all in vain as i became aware that the main mod for Goodneighbor causes issues with SS2 and the new replacer for the APC (finally found one for the APC and the tank). So back to the drawing board... It took me the whole day but Goodneighbor is now working with everything in the guide. Edited October 22, 2023 by Aylis 2 Link to comment
Aylis Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Update V 3.2.4 This is the fourth update to a complete rework of the guide. Starting from here bigger changes are coming. 'Armor' is completely reworked and reorganized (it was messy). Now it should be easier to find something in this group. 'Power Armor got its own group.

Mindgames265 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) Just a thing of note, for the first aid kits you have a link to the same mod twice. First Aid Kits Also have Radiation Queen - Immersive Cigarette Vending Machine twice in the list CRIDOWSKIN - HPFR Patch seems to no longer be a thing. FGEP - Feral Ghouls Expansion Pack doesn't have a standalone tank tweak fix anymore Edited October 25, 2023 by Mindgames265 Link to comment
Aylis Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 @Mindgames265 I'm completely reworking the guide so doublettes can happen... The rest i'll check tomorrow. __________________________________________________ I'll remove 'Sim Settlements 2'. I leave the vault and immediately get the old error messages and sometimes i even get a broken savegame. Also the OA added so much micro-management into the mod that the appeal of 'easy-to-use' is completely gone (it feels even worse than vanilla). ECO got split into three new mods. Now all the old patches don't work anymore and you need even more so the three mods work together. Also goes the way of the Dodo. 'Rebuild AIO' is great. Now you can really rebuild your settlements. The OA even includes redone previsibines so those arn't a problem. 1 Link to comment
Mindgames265 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) Maybe just plug in sim settlements instead of SS2? As for the double ups, kinda figured that was what happened that is why I made the post to let you know, can't always catch everything. And some mod suggestions Bastion DirectHit Deadeye Shield Framework Ambient Wasteland on curseforge is gone fyi Kill Tips has doubled up one in UI and one in sound.

Aylis Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) Update V 3.2.5 This is the fifth update to a complete rework of the guide. 'Override' saw quite some changes. Now it should be easier to find something in this group. Thanks @Mindgames265 for the assistance in chasing down errors. Mods to REMOVE Spoiler Override New Vault Girl Doesn't really fit in. Campsite - Simple Wasteland Camping With all the added locations this became redundant Pillows for Sleeping Bags and Tents Redundant Companion Infinite Ammo '' Hit 'Em Where It Hurts (Locational Damage) Can cause issues. No Pre-War Pipe-Weapons Redundant Trash and Rubble Pile Replacer Causes texture issues. Building Subgroup: Sim Settlements Too much trouble and the new version adds too much micro-management to make it imho valid anymore. Subgroup: City Plans. Not needed anymore. Mods to ADD Spoiler F4SE RobCo Patcher Sound Alternative Female Cinematic Intro Moved from 'Override' Override Abrams-X - Tank Replacer Finally got rid of the fugly tank in the game.

We Are The Minutemen - Militarized Minutemen - Uniform Patches and Insignia Addon - Compatibility Patch [Bodyslide] Militarized Minutemen - Fusion Girl Bodyslide Vault-Tec Meal Ready to Eat-Portable Cooking Stations Weapons and Armor Override Side Aim Patches Note I restarted my char to prevent issues with remaining scripts in the save. So far the saves arn't bloated anymore (20-25 MB smaller) and the game is much smoother. Atm i'm trying to improve that further. Edited October 25, 2023 by Aylis 1 Link to comment
LogTM Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 @AylisI just wanted to say that I really appreciate how much effort you put into all of your guides just to make it easier for everyone else to mod their games. I have always enjoyed Fallout more than Elder Scrolls so I will definitely install this guide again but I am personally waiting until its more stable and not in flux once you have time to update it more. Right now its getting updates too frequently that I personally want to wait for it to be in a stable state but I am definitely keeping an eye out for all the changes. 2 Link to comment
Aylis Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) @LogTM Thanks. ? Gamewise it is already very stable and no big issues (like SS2) anymore. In regard to the guide From top to 'Override' 'World and Quests' there shouldn't be too much to change anymore. Some other parts (like 'Weapons') are already finished here but come later in the guide. Atm i'm working on 'Building' and i think i'm missing a few mods in my LO here. PRP (i'll get to that in 'Final') does indeed help, although finding all required patches is a pain (i'm tinkering with the LO). I also found a few mods that should improve the stability of the game itself (aka the last possible kinks) and others that help loading/starting it. Edited October 26, 2023 by Aylis 2 Link to comment
