... "laser sights" just shine the laser out so you can see a spot and know where your gun is pointed.

Thanks for the clarification. Dang, this will be a lot of typing again...

 

I'll also change 'ironsights', seems to be 'Denglisch' (yep, we got our own term for mixing german and english words ;)) too, to 'iron sights'.

In the end it should look similar to this.

'Aylis Icon Patches' will end up being split into the other groups (will have to add one or two more). But thats the price to keep it modular.

How can I download this without linking my games on Bethesda site?

Can I get a direct link maybe?

 

I'm having trouble getting these mod:

 

WORLD
Functional Bridges


BUILDING
Do It Yourshelf - clutter for shelves and bookcases
CREAtive Clutter - All DLC

 

 

on "Sim Settlements 2"  the Enhanced part refers to "Sim Settlements 2 Extended - 10 Dec 2021"?

 

For the mods on bethesda.net, you can create a fake account if you want.

 

For SS2, Sim Settlements 2 Extended is included in SS2 main file (1.90Gb)

I kept having connection issues yesterday, but yeah depending on how the laser is used, depends on if it is a rangefinder, designator, or "acquisition helper" which the current "laser sights" in game would fall into into, by helping the soldier to acquire the target even from a hip position. when you see the dot you have acquired the target; but as stated the minutia is killing the icon work you are doing. So just put it where it makes sense so someone who doesn't know the naming conventions will understand it. And if there ARE any American Supply Clerks, could ya help out with the naming?

That is the goal i'm aiming for. And staying as close as possible to the correct term.

 

So far i had to change quite a few names to make it (hopefully) easier to understand. An example would be 'Cazador Missile Launcher' which (replacing the 'Fatman') was renamed to 'Heavy Missile Launcher'. The 'Projectile Missile Launcher' on the other hand just became 'Rocket Launcher' to differentiate it more from our bigger 'Booommaker'. ;)

 

The biggest problem is 'Aylis Icon Patches - Basic Game and DLC.esp'. I constantly have to recheck files as that ESP is extremely sensitive to changes and might break other mods. Thankfully i do have all the separate patches too. It is way easier to change the smaller files, and copy the changes, than digging through a bigger one (and then possibly miss something in there). Sadly this means i need a lot of time. The changes are easily done, its the side effects and fixing those that devours most of my time.

Thankfully i start to get a feeling for all this and it becomes easier to find a fix should an issue arise. Worst case i have to redo a patch several times until it works.

Well... cazadores is based off the Matador (RGW-90) thats currently blowing tank turrets off the chassis in Ukraine. But cazadors shows you reloading when the matador is one shot and toss it. It's classed as a recoilless rifle but it's white listing is (Recoilless Grenade Weapon 90mm) so RGW 90. All i can say.. It Just Works

I noticed when i move the Sliders in Looksmenu sometimes the body reverts to the Zero Sliders Body and flickers back and forth when i keep sliding. Is this normal or a mistake on my end?

Im using LM 1.6.18 but also happens with 1.6.20. I also tried building a body with Build Morphs checked in Bodyslide but that didnt help either

Never saw something like this. You might want to ask that in the support thread of 'Looksmenu'. Maybe someone else there had the same problem and has a solution.

@Xlss I do have an account for Bethesda.net, I just don't know how to actually get the mods.

 

I heard that I should heart the mod or add to my library and then the mod would appear in-game. How exactly do I get these mods on my MO2?

 

I apologize if I'm asking something obvious.

it's a time consuming process.

1. Make sure your overwrite folder is empty.

2. open the creation club in-game. You will have the mods added by mcm at the top. you want the one in the middle of the pause menu. If you picked the right one it will say Logging In with a wheel thingy.

3. subscribe to the mod. 

4. let the mod download and install.

5. unsubscribe from the mod.

6. exit the game.

7. overwrite folder should now have an esp file inside. 

8. right click overwrite and "create mod" 

9. Name it whatever the mod is you subscribed. 

10. Activate the mod in MO2.

11. kill raiders with t-51 skyrim armor.. and a sword.. or a warhammer..?

Only time i have seen something even close is trying to use a cbbe preset on a fusion girl skeleton or vice versa, But then again i have rebuilt atomic body for the males in game and they are all built like arnold with a huge ass johnson that actually breaks the plane of whatever npc or pc they are currently violating. I redid it about 30 times and said fuck it.

@Aylis I forgot to add. i use this and this as normal tattoos. If you have the mods Nuka Ride and/or Raiders Pet you will need this. And If you sometimes forget you are not in skyrim and are at least a little squishy with bullets hitting you,, and the janked up physics knocking you down and keeping you down why they blast away at your health.. you will want this

If there ever was a time to use 'HOLY SH!T!', this is it.

 

Just got my new case:

Spoiler

Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO

814481822_LianLiO11Evo.jpg.935f5bfda30b514304018631cb3cf1da.jpg

 

First impressions:

I havn't seen such a thickness for the used panels (i doubt they are even able to rattle) and interior components in a very long time.

Great way to remove/install the side panels.

An actually usable manual (which is needed for all the options you have with the case to build your system).

Possible cable management is the wet dream of every enthusiast. My hands can get lost in the available room!

Lots of spare parts, screws (those seem to be better than the standard ones you usually get), velcro strips and other accessories.

 

Hmm, a 12mm hardtube looks way too thin in the case. Might have to switch to 14mm OD (roughly half an inch). ?

 

Anyway i am grinning from ear to ear (and have a hard time not to giggle).?

I'm leaning more for a copper/ borasilicate glass mix, since you can get those in red anyway.?

I've tried glass before and it was no fun. Hard to get a clean cut and reworking the ends (got no blowtorch and a Proxxon didn't really help).

 

So far:

Glass tube             Perfect look                                            Breaks easily and removing it from a fitting and/or changing the loop is a real pain. NOT recommended!

Acryl                     Quite close to glass                                 Scratches easily, you have to rework the ends and be a bit careful with that. Can easily be reused.

PETG                     Got a bluish tint, not completely clear   Very easy to work with, beginners friendly, easy to cut with sharp scissors.

Copper tube         Nice warm reddish look                         Surface has to be reworked and sealed (corrosion/spotty surface with air possible!). Definitely use gloves! 

 

I'll 100% go with a black/red/amber color combination (my favourite one). Using copper tubes would allow me to use a clear fluid, but i'd need a new cover (or a new block) for my CPU. Acryl/PETG needs color in it (the lack of it would be too noticable otherwise) but runs the risk of staining the blocks.

 

Lets have some video (CAUTION! Hardware Porn!) ?

Spoiler

Love that look

 

The case itself 

 

_________________________________________________

 

14mm it will be. 12mm is like throwing a single mini-wiener into a giant fridge. Or to phrase it differently, it is so thin that it almost vanishes in that case. 16mm on the other hand is not an option as we call that size 'Wurst-Schlauch' ('Sausage Tube'). Too thick and you have restrictions at each fitting as their ID for the waterflow is smaller than the ID of the tube.

 

So for now i run air-cooling. I'd have to order 'some' new fittings and those add up incredibly fast (i estimate ~100-150€ for those alone).

Yeah i thought of something like that also and checked if i goofed  and installed cbbe stuff where i shouldnt but have found nothing. In the end i must have goofed somewhere because after cursing todd and wiping fo4 from my system i started from scratch and now everything "just works" ?

Everybody brace for a three month break while Aylis gets the custom waterloop perfected ?

 

Regarding your notes @Aylis

Spoiler

Not sure if that GPU note means waterblock for your existing GPU, new standard GPU or new watercooled GPU.

Here is the reminder what is upcoming next:
- Sometime later this month 6x50xt refresh cards, May 10th has been floating around.
- At the very end of Q2 first Intel Alchemist desktop cards. lower sku models first with the 'top end' models being delayed even further.

- Q3 as early as they are able ada lovelace cards with the regular nvidia schedule top end cards first then adding lower skus after that. They might shorten the period between card releases depending on how scared they are about amd.

- Q3 rdna3 with navi33 ('low' end die) first, then navi31 (high end) and navi32 probably sometime early '23

My standard recommendation for everybody with a working gpu so far was to wait for navi33 because the performance increase this generation will be insane both for team red and team green.

Here is the modified opinion piece for you Aylis because you are a special case.
Navi33 is going to be a 8gb vram card and maybe even on PCIe 5.0 - 8gb ain't fun for seriously modding especially when moving up from 1080p to 1440p and pcie5 might be a problem if you are still on a pcie3 platform. Only B550 and X570 boards are already on pcie4 which should be fine.
If you are on a pcie4 board and have the budget I would think about going to a navi31 card with 16gb vram. Segmentation on those hasn't decided/leaked yet so that could be the 7900xt (~1,000€?) only. 7800xt with 16gb would be worth a thought too, however if they cut it to 12gb not so much anymore.
Now if you are still on pcie3 or cannot justify 1k€ for a gpu there is another option. Intel Alchemist top model is going to be a 16gb card too, and very likely much cheaper. I won't hold a candle onto the upcomings gen performance (supposedly it should compare to a 3070 just with double the vram and cheaper) but if you cannot budget the 7900xt it is an option.

Nope, no rest for the wicked. ?

 

At most i'll be off for a day or two. The switch to the new case took me ~6 hours and a lot of that was just cleaning the hardware (I routinely clean the system every three months and there is still so much dust hidden away).

 

The funny thing is that i only installed the two Noctua fans (previous case had six fans installed) and already have better temperatures than before. Making that test-buy of the Noctua fans was a very good idea. Best fans i ever had! And if you buy them in a set (you can get those directly from Noctua via Amazon) they get cheaper.

_________________________________________________

 

Weapons are reworked (except the AKM causing problems again) and the patches for armors are coming along. Sadly quite a few are missing the keyword to move them into their own category. Not 100% sure how to handle those mods.

 

I'm going to remove 'Butterfly Glasses' completely. It bloats the crafting menu (which i hoped to get fixed by the OA) and we already got good glasses in 'TACS'.

Do we have a discord? I just went through the install and have several issues.

The PCs are not nude although that is the selection I chose.
The eye colors are not changing as I cycle through them

the Glock is deformed showing the magazine out to the side, the top receiver too far forward, and some weapons are not doing any damage.

I followed the guide without extras and have gone back through it completely.

1. Nope, and i'm not going to create one.

2. Recheck the bodyslides you use.

3. No idea. Those are loose files which always worked before. Did you activate the mods? What happens when you deactivate them?

There are also $ in my mod configuration which I believe is translation files?

Yep, that is usually conflicting language files.

__________________________________________________

 

Managed to move crafting recipes from a mod without a keyword to another category. Hope i can repeat this for other mods too.

 

Now know how to get it to work. Will be interesting where i can put all the items. But this will increase the dependencies between the mods and i

might have to remove the (Optional) from some mods.

Was just checking my bodyslide files. Do I need to generate them or should they be in the guide already or a separate download?

 

Depends on a few things.

did you download the pre-done ones aylis did? then no, install as a mod and activate.

do you have any extra/different clothing than what is in the guide? then yes, but you only need to build those and not everything.

Posted

I had not installed the pre done ones. I corrected that. I still do not see them nude in Looksmenu. I must have a conflict since the eyes are not changing properly.
I play a male character, are the pre done for Bodytalk and FG?

Posted

Ok, all of that is fixed. I feel dumb.
I had not edited my MO2 specific ini files for modding.


I know it was asked before but has anyone come across issues using Tactical Tablet? I could not find a definite answer although I do not think it works with Vault girl mods
