Hi all. Recently ran into a problem.
During the game, the FG body randomly stops working. (That is, the body completely disappears, only the legs, arms and head remain, but if you fly in workshop mode for a while, the body appears again ... And I can’t understand why. Maybe someone has encountered such a problem. (The papyrus log is attached )

@0omut0 I have the same issue. Did you find a solution?

I have nothing to go by thus far. I kept my camera in 3rd person looking for patterns to when it disappeared. Best I can tell -- there is no pattern. The FG body, clothing, and chest armor just vanishes for no obvious reason.

Modlist

Here you'll find every mod i either tested or use in my personal build of the game. I havn't had any crashes for a very long time. But there are some things you got to watch out for (see 'Tips and Tricks').

 

 

Mod Manager

I strongly recommend using MO2 for this. Troubleshooting and adding/removing mods is so much easier with this tool. You forgot something? Just install it and drag'n'drop it into the right position. Loadorder messed up? Just use drag'n'drop again.

 

It got a slight learning curve (thats where the tutorial videos come in). But once you got used to it, this tool is very very helpful.

 

MO2 extracts the compressed files you download into the folder 'Mods'. But this can get confusing when you build up your loadorder. I strongly recommend to create subfolders for the different games (like '.../mods/Skyrim SE' and '.../mods/Fallout 4'). 

 

Also any errors showing up in the bottom window of MO2 can be ignored. Those have always been false positives. Try installing something via FOMOD and every option you don't use falsely shows up as an error.

 

 

One game - several ways to play

With Fallout 4 you have several paths to choose from:

 

Starting options

Option 1A: Start Me Up

Option 1B: IKAROS

This can be used with 1A (doesn't make much sense with option 2) but you have to watch some video on youtube to get it working correctly. 

Option 2  : Synthetic Player 

Sadly you can't simply switch between those two as they heavily conflict. So again you have to choose what you want to use before you start to install mods.

 

Samurai

For those who want to roam the wasteland as a Samurai/Ronin there are three mods you want to install:

CROSS Wasteland Ronin                                       (add it to the cross mods in 'Armor')

CROSS Wasteland Ronin for FG (Direct Link)

CyberOut 77                                                          (add it to the additional weapons in 'Weapon and Armor - Override')

 

 

Installation

The most important thing first: DO NOT USE LOOT TO 'FIX' THE LOADORDER!

 

With that out of the way the Installation is quite forward:

 

1. I always install the mods in the same order they are listed. At the end, when everything is installed i manually move the ESM to the top (while keeping the order in which they were installed) and check that the patches are below the mods they are supposed to patch.

 

2. Then comes the last step. Creating the bodyslides.

 

 

Creation Club

Obviously i couldn't check every mod Bethesda offers in the CC as i have no intention to buy them. Some mods of the CC seem to have problems with a modded game so you'll have to check which ones will actually work with the list (and please report them to me).

Legend

I added some additional info to a lot of the mods which might be useful to you:

(FPS)                         : These mods will have an impact on your FPS.

(Optional)                 : Not absolutely necessary but recommended.

(Group XY)                : These mods belong together. If you want one of the lower mods in the group you'll need the ones above it. Or you can skip the entire group.

(Rec)                           : There is an entry for it in 'Tips and Tricks'.

(R88)                           : Those should be added to the sorting

(File)                           : There's a file available in the download section.

(Scriptheavy)              : In Fallout you shouldn't have too many of these mods. They can influence the speed of the gameplay and will increase your loading time.

Placeholder                : Broken atm. Might be worth later on

(TEMPORARY)            : This is not needed anymore after you've (re)run LODGen.

[Bodyslide]                 : Can be skipped if you use my predone bodyslides

(Advanced)                : These require some extra attention. They are not essential but greatly improve the game (instructions can be found in post #6). 

?                             : Will require an update when Bethesda releases more content for the CC.

[Gone from Nexus] : I hope they will return on another site, so i keep them in the list for now

(Direct Link)               : This will allow you to directly download a mod.

 

 

Preinstallation

Here we got a few things to do before we install our first mod with a mod manager.

  Reveal hidden contents

F4SE

This mod is needed for quite a few mods to work at all. Just copy the files into your gamefolder (usually …/Steam/steamapps/common/Fallout 4). Watch out to use the correct version for your Fallout 4!

 

FO4Edit

Don't worry, we'll need it only once to start a script.

 

ENB (Rec)

I strongly recommend using an ENB for the game (see entry in the 'Subgroup: ENB and Weather').

 

Wrye Bash

We need this to prevent conflicts within leveled lists.

I'm glad I found this thread!

I've lost three days now fighting with various Nexus Collections and LOOT trying to get a working load order that won't ctd :/

/starting from the beginning again... with this listing

//HATE Vortex!

 

<edit>

 

Trying to start a new F4 game for the first time in 4+ years. Wiped Steam directory and reloaded game clean. Trying to use the Fallout 4 For Beginners Mod listing using MO2 and game will load to the main menu. After 'New Game' I immediately get the infinite loading screen.

Disabled 90% of mods until just the core foundation ones were left - no change

Rebooted (several time) - no change

Disabled Steam CloudSaves - no change

Checked AMD video drivers (latest) - no change

 

I can run the game direct from F4SE launcher and reach the character creation scene... but then no mods will load :/

Running game direct from MO2 = infinite load bug

 

Should I try just direct copying all mods directly into the F4/Mod directory and not use MO2? I really, really hate Vortex (can't figure out how to manually adjust mod load orders and LOOT seems to screw everything up)

Running out of ideas :(

/have AMD 5800X3D+AMD 6750XT (12gb)+32gb Mem and Steam drive is a fast SSD

I have nothing to go by thus far. I kept my camera in 3rd person looking for patterns to when it disappeared. Best I can tell -- there is no pattern. The FG body, clothing, and chest armor just vanishes for no obvious reason.

Hello, I haven’t played for a long time, now I will remember what I had there(

Really sorry I didn't see this earlier, been over in Skyrim AE. So you have probably either figured it out yourself, or given up. But on the off chance...

It might not be an infinite loading screen, but the intro video pausing just after starting because a mod has popped up a dialog box (thats behind the video).
My approach to a new game in FO4: make a safe vanilla save you can load when starting a new game.
Some years back I started a totally vanilla game of FO4, no mods or even F4SE. I even used the (*gasp*) vanilla FO4 launcher. Started a new game, character creation was just pick a sex. Go though the Sanctuary Hills introduction, picked stats, left name as Nora. Ran to the vault, jumped into the freezer. Watch hubby get shot. Woke up. Ran though the vault killing radroaches and looting everything (lets start as you mean to go on). Got the pipboy and stood just in front of the elevator back to the surface. Saved the game. Then made a hard save of the game (open console, type 'save VanillaNora'). Then quit.
Back in the world of Windows, I went to the Fallout 4\Saves directory and copied the VanillaNora.fos (if you do this with F4SE enabled, you'll need the VanillaNora.f4se cosave as well) to a nice safe location. I'm still use the save I created back in 2019.
Start FO4 from MO2, and at the main screen, don't press new, or continue, but load. Show all saves, select VanillaNora (depending on how you have set up MO2, you might need to find where MO2 is storing saves and copy VanillaNora.fos (and .f4se) there. You'll load in right by the vault exit, be spammed by all the mods loading, then once that is done, you can step onto the elevator, choose a name and do character creation. And then be spammed by even more mod notifications when you leave the vault.

No. It wasn't a good idea when Nexus Mod Manager handled that for you. Its just a world of pain when trying to do it manually. You'd have to manually sort out file conflicts, and have to deal with some mods creating files during game play (basically everything that ends up in the MO2 Overwrite). Theres a reason why NMM is not recommended anymore (even Vortex does a better job, although I'll recommend MO2 over Vortex any day).

I got burned out on Fallout 4. Haven't played since February (I think). Can't speak for anyone else, but that's what's up for me

 

I think that sort of thing is pretty normal, you get burned out on a specific game, and go play or do something else, and it could be weeks, months or in some cases even years before you have an interest in going back to the game, and then you have the issue of getting everything updated for the current game if there have been any updates to it, which may well then put you off playing again.

Same here.  I've got myself side-tracked to Skyrim, trying to merge two different lists.  When I get burned out on that, it's back to FO4.  (Until Starfield comes out, and at least one major bug fix package is available.)

First of all thanks for the topic Aylis. I just want to ask if the link for "CRIDOWSKIN - HPFR Patch" is still needed because i think the main mod have now a built-in support for Natural 2K Face Texture. Sorry if it's a dumb question, my last modding experience was 7 years ago.

 

Not had time to check extensively, but after an hour of playing I'd suggest this:

PC
Cridowskin:

Spoiler

1.1 Base game replacer

1.2 Base game replacer, your choice of freckled/hair, but remember choice for later

1.3 Basegame, but you choice of classic soft/alternate/muscular

1.4 Basegame, but your choice of Silky/Glossy/Wet

2.1 2K faces

2.2 don't install lazy

2.3 HiPoly Faces Redux, Seamless config 2k faces,

3.1 you choice (I went with yes)

3.2 your choice (I went with yes)

3.3 your choice (I went with yes)

Cridowskin Fusion Girl Patch - grab according to what you selected in 1.2, for freckles/hair, why can't we have a nice fomod with matching options for this? :(

Cridowskin - HPFR Patch - not required

 

NPC and Creatures

(as the very first thing)

Cridowskin - Facegen for Full replacer - select all DLCs you have.

It fixed the skin problem on the NPCs I checked, but it might introduce problems with some of the other NPC replacers, this needs checking (and I might not be back in FO4 for another couple of months to check, to much Skyrim right now and Starfield out soon)

I have attempted to use BodyTalk3 twice in collections via Vortex. It worked but conflicted with other mods. It was somehow mixed with New Vegas mods it ran in that for a time.  Falllout4 still being in the same file.  Today I was trying to use FusionGirl in Fallout 4 by Loading the Fusion Girl Module 10. I already had some mods running CBBE and other attempts polluted a perfectly running game.
I like collections but I seem to wear out my welcome using them. Vortex found an error in BT3 when I right-clicked and it gave BT3 but it said it was unauthorized use. It was authorized by loading a collection. I usually have conflicts with LOOT ERRORS, missing esms, and what not. I do not mind paying for something I can use. When I try to use VTAW I am useless in getting the files to work without conflicting. I could use a good collection checklist instead of collections trying to reload and install already conflicting files. How can a rookie at gaming mods keep one to work?

Link to comment

I know whose collection you're using. 

 

The problem with automated collections is that when you get them, you're limited to someone else's choices, someone else's settings.  Compare that to a list like this one - printed out, all laid out for you.  Get to that in a bit. 

 

My first answer would be "dump vortex and use Mod Organizer 2.  For as automated and hands off it might be, it absolutely sucks when it comes to you having any control over your mods.  Putting things on MO2 might be more time consuming, but you have total control over your load order, you know where everything is, and what overwrites what.  The other things I warn against is LOOT.  Don't run it.  Don't use it.  Put it on the ground and back away slowly, and it won't hurt you.  In my experience, unless you know LOOT inside and out, set up rules, groups, all that nonsense, it'll sort your load order, all right.  Badly.  Putting child .esl's above parent .esp's is one example.  Short answer:  start over with MO2.

 

Having said that, you have some choices.  If you want to start a new collection then this one is  great start.  Just read page one, do what it tells you, and you're good to go.  PLUS, Aylis has been known to frequently update the list - changes which are easily done in MO2.  

 

Your second choice might take some time depending on how much you download.ed.  You have all your collection's archives, right?  Use this guide to see how they can be arranged.  (Something you'll use a lot in MO2 that you can't use in Vortex are 'seperators'.)

 

Second choice:  this might take some time, depending on how much you've downloaded:  again, read page one of the guide and look at how the mods are grouped together.  Install MO2, throw your mods into the 'downloads' folder, and go from there.  Don't worry - people here do help.

 

Third choice:  Wabbajack.  There aren't many collections for FO4, but they're pretty solid out of the box.  However, a great many both on wabbajack and nexus, add patches that glue their collection together.  One of the "best" wabbajack collections uses Nevernude, and one of the patches that bind everything together makes sure Never MEANS never.  In short, you add or subtract from their lists at your peril.

 

So, I use this list.  I can see what to download next.  A lot of the ones listed are optional to the list.  If I don't want them, I skip them.  Simple.  Ok, some might take forever for me to download but in the end, once I have them, that's it.  I don't need to download it again.  I can see what options to take, and a number of times my choice differs from that which Aylis (the author of the list) recommends. 

 

Now - I've probably told you nothing tht helps.  Again, you're at Vortex's mercy, that's problem one.  If you want to see how BT3 and Fusiongirl should be set up, and remember this IS Mod Organizer 2, look at page one and find the PC section.  This list uses Fusiongirl, and anything for CBBE has an FG conversion for it.

 

Now - go back to page one, and read.  Aylis not only goes through the list installation, but post-production as well so take your time and get familiar with it.

 

If you want help, ask away but you could do a lot worse than this list.  I know, I did.

Hey guys, 

I need ur help ! 
 

At Game launch (New Save & launched with F4SE), most mods are not used in-game. 

For example

- The hair does not appear and my character remains bald whatever haircut chooses. 
- The character stay with the Vanilla body and does not appear with Fusion Girl. 


However, I followed the guide to the letter.

- The hair does not appear and my character remains bald whatever haircut chooses. 
- The character stay with the Vanilla body and does not appear with Fusion Girl. 


However, I followed the guide to the letter. 
 

Please save me 

Trust me, if you didn'tmake a mistake somewhere, you'd be the first one EVER not to.  Don't worry, we'll get you through this.

 

When you say MOST mods...what DOES work?  It sounds a LOT like the game looking for mods in the wrong place.  But it can't be if some are working, and other arent.  I'm assuming you're launching through MO2....yeah.  It'd help to know what actually does work.  Try making a scrap character just to get out of racemenu and get into the MCM.  What shows up?

Well, all mods are working except those which modify my character !

Narrows it down a lot.  So you have Zex skeleton installed, Fusiongirl, the skin set, all that....enabled on the left pane, enabled on the right....So if it is NOT something that should have been installed but wasn't, and everything LOOKS right, it's probably something to do with Looksmenu.  Perhaps reinstalling it as replace instead of merge might get rid of the problem.  If it still doesn't work, perhaps I could look at your modlist and your loadorder, maybe that's help.
