Ok, with regard to MM Journal, I keep getting a corrupted file everytime I try to download it.  Different PCs, different everything makes no difference.  Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me?

I am not having that issue, but i also downloaded it manually to my MO2 downloads folder and not though the mod manager download link on Nexus. That seems to help with some of the larger files for me. YMMV

 

[kesryth]

@Aylis FYI, looks like a AWKCR Patch removal got missed: Miniguns Rebirth AWKCR Patch under the Subgroup: Additional Weapons

[kusai]

When installing Modern Weapon Replacer - Glock 19x, the only choices I am seeing are 10mm, Deliverer and Gamma Guns. Not seeing an option for Plasma Pistol.

[Aylis]

@kesryth

1. 'A Forest'

2. Thanks. Fixed

 

@kusai

Is a typo. I meant the 'Gamma Gun'. Fixed

 

*yawn* Way too early in the morning... Going back to 

[kusai]

Thanks, that is what I had assumed. Everything seems to be working great. Is there a way to do futa's with this loadout, or do you have any recommendations?

[DarthNyriss]

Ok, now this is a weird problem someone following this list might be able to help with.

 

As I progress, I start the game just to see everything loads up all right, and try to create a female character.  Now, the problem is one of hair.  Whenever I activate the Anto package, it comes up with a long list (mostly starting with PRC.)  However, there's no mesh and no textures.  In other words, choosing one of them leaves her bald as a billiard ball.   I've deactivated everything below the character creation section, just in case something was sneaking in.  Accorting to NMM, nothing is overwritten.  Everything I do points to Anto.  Is there something about I missed?  Some installation instruction I overlooked?

 

As it stands, nothing is activated except the Character section, and those above it.  It's not a life-changer if I can't make it play nicely.  I have others.

 

(Oh, one other thing.  Does anyone else find it necessary to hit ctrl-enter to stop the ENB BEFORE the bathroom scene?  Again, minor a inconvenience.  All I know about ENB is how to spell it. 

 

Anyway, If anyone has any ideas where to look for a solution, please let me know.

I would double check your download of the KS hairs package, as that is where the Alive hair comes from, as that one looks ok in my game with what i would describe as a long bob cut (maybe?), but not bald. Nif explorer shows me the mesh looks as expected, so perhaps you have some mesh issues with your download file?

[jaeos]

@Aylis

you have a mismatched link in the PC section. 

FG textures patch goes to https://www.loverslab.com/topic/181594-fo4b-aylis-fusion-girl-preset-facebodyarmor/

Pretty sure you moved it all to the one post here HERE

[Aylis]

@jaeos

Ooops. Thats the old link which should have been replaced. Fixed

Testing right now a mod i've missed before. 'Machineguns Rebirth' (Video) adds new weapons and turrets at the same time. This would make 'MW Sentry Turret' and 'Settlement Defence Systems' completely redundant.

I use both for their added turrets, but the first mod adds oversized ones and the second mod is big and also adds objects that don't really fit into Fallout. That change would save us around 800 MB and we get a slot for an ESP back.

 

New turrets:

For those who want to take a look at it:

Remember this isn't finished yet. But it already uses the 'Machineguns Rebirth'.

Dang, that one offered so much variety... Adding the one i use here. Done and expanded the description.

@Aylis You  gonna hate me by the end of me redoing my list... ?

Raider Gang Extended DLC Compatibility Update and raider gangs extended both point to the same page, but looking at the versions only one is needed, currently ver .84 

[Aylis]

@jaeos

No problem. Looks like i missed the update (was still using the older version). Reworked the description.

I tried downloading it and merging, downloading and replacing, and I get the same effect.  It isn't just the one hair mesh, it seems to be ALL of them in the KS mod.  I've even tried disabling every mod below it (and I mean *every* mod) and still no joy.  I suppose I could delete it, defrag the drive to overwrite where KS was, then redownload it and see if that works.  I know I'm missing something, I'm just not sure what.  Ah well.

 

Oh, by the way - does anyone besides me have to deactivate the ENB to get the character creation screen to show up?  For me it stays white until ctrl-enter, then it starts.  Minor inconvenience, but just curious if it's me or that's just the way it is.

@Aylis

 

Out of curiousity, have you given any thought to merging some files together?  For example, the 'combat styles'.  I would think if they're just small ESPs without any assets, then merging similar mods might be a good idea, and a space saver.  Just an idea, I'm still reading up on the ins and outs of merges.

Downside to merging is are you going to remember that you did it? You can make the mod name reflect the mods you merged but having an extra line on the left side shouldn't be a big thing, you will have the same number of esp on the right. 

I'm currently doing the entire list new, but once i have it all installed i'll take a look and see if mine acts stupid as well.

Thats for all new starts.

 

A mod ask a, at this moment not yet visible, question. Just hit [Enter] a few times and it will continue. I havn't found a way to delay this behavior.

 

Merging mods is something i don't recommend. In the long run it causes more problems than it actually solves. Besides i included a few modfiles that have been converted to ESL so you have a lot of room available.

@Aylis

 

So with merging, I'll defer to your wisdom on the subject.  You know better than I do.

 

@Jaeos

 

According to the mod author, PACE includes the same functionality as Heal Thyself but adds more AI enhancements as well.  Your opinion?  As for Bethesda,net goes, you actually download and install them though the game at the main menu.  A lot of bother for very little, IMHO.  I tend to ignore Bethesda.net as a source.  If I have to jump through hoops to get it, it isn't worth it.  (Don't get me started on Patreon.)

oh.. piss on that shit. 

I dunno, i'll take a look at it, it may be better than companion heal thyself 

Edit. Are you sure PACE and Heal thyself are the same? From the description PACE is almost like (or possibly better) than skk. Hmm.. after another 15-20 minutes of trying to find just a simple download button on the pace website, i found out companion heal and pace are integrated into panpc (pace 2.0)

For the Decent Elevators, i still see the floor files.. you have to choose one for the type of floor you want: Concrete, Mats, Mesh or Wood.

[Aylis]

@jaeos

Thats the big problem with external sites (and one of the reasons i hate discord). It is simply too hard to find the right links and then you often also need a new link to the file of a mod when they update... Thats also why i try to remove the mods doing that as much as humanly possible.

 

For the elevators the files are still there. Check the optional ones.
