Just to be clear - is this list in addition to, or instead of, the page one list?  Just finished ironing out Skyrim and ready to re-do FO4.

It is in addition to the main guide, I'll post full guide with all required links in April.

Gotcha.  Thanks Simpossible.  (or do you prefer xx? 🙂 )

Has anyone ever run into this problem?  At character creation,, go to body, press C to hide the clothing, and the whole thing freezes up?  I've disabled everything below  Looksmenu to try and isolate the problem.  Sort of re-downloading the base game files and starting over, I'm at a loss.  If I disable anything else, I'm not sure I can test the problem.

There was a post about that that never use looksmenu clothes removal. Maybe it's fixed, but I'm never using it due to warning about freezing/crashing...

Makes it hard for things like tattoo overlays and such.  Unless it's only during character creation...I suppose I could try it, but thing is it's never given me a problem before.  Ah well, we move forward.

You can easily remove clothes from character before you opening looksmenu. ;)

I'm wondering if someone can help me with a sort of texture mismatch.  It would seem the face texture is a couple shades darker than the body colour.  What could be causing this?  I've seen this before a long time ago...

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent work you do on your guides. While I consider myself an experienced modder as far as Skyrim goes, trying to get a nicely modded FO4 felt a bit daunting. While I deviated at some points, overall your guide provided a great red thread through the labyrinth. ^^

Hello everyone. This is a pre-final mod list of my guide notes with all the mods, it is a standalone guide and has all the necessary links from Aylis' guide. However there are still a few issues I need to fix:

 

 

I'm currently quite busy with my sims activity and don't have enough time to troubleshoot these issues. Plus, there are a certain amount of undetected bugs because I barely tested the functionality. I would really appreciate your help with testing, reporting and probably troubleshooting any issues you encounter so we can work on fixing them together.

 

Legend:

■ Mandatory

■ Configuration required

■ Optional

■ Notes

■ Bodyslide

■ Skipped

 

VERY IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE THAT YOU DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT VERSION OF FILES COMPATIBLE WITH GAME VERSION 1.10.163. BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL WITH MODS FROM THE F4SE CATEGORY OR FRAMEWORKS, AS INCOMPATIBILITY CAN AND WILL LEAD TO CRASHES AND BROKEN MODS!


Preparation:


Downgrade your Fallout version - follow instructions here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3232095313

 

While it is downgrading, read these articles: Mods to Avoid & Tools to Avoid

Very useful config.

Set "Achievements" to false in "buffout4.toml" to resolve conflicts between Buffout and Unlimited Survival Mod

Rename anything

Can be useful for renaming NPCs or objects.

Simple Offence Suppression

 

Scrap Everything can and will break precombines, which may not crash your game, but impact performance. For more info you can google "Scrap Everything precombines". I'm personally using Rebuilt AIO instead of Scrap Everything.

Place Everywhere has an annoying feature that allows you to accidentally rotate any object in the settlement, including roads and house walls. You need to be careful with this mod, I just skipped it.

Hair Color Fix

I highly recommend avoiding the Hair Color Fix, as it can make some hair appear with an unnatural bright yellow color. It seems that the Nuka World DLC altered the hair color palette and introduced new colors. As a result, some mods, like the Ivy HD replacer, still use the old palette. This means that instead of getting the intended blonde hair color, you may end up with pink hair instead. You can either use the Hair Color Fix, which can cause some hair colors to look strange, or stick with the HD hair color replacement below that may affect NPCs who were made with old color palette (blonde => pink). The affected only NPC I know so far is Ivy hipoly replacer, you can go with the private version to keep her hair brown.

It's really up to you. Aylis' outfit list is nice, and you might also want to look for new releases since 2023. I recommend only installing outfit mods that you REALLY need or all-in-one packs or that are ESLified. Otherwise, you will run into the plugin limit very quickly.

 

Some of my recommendations:

Both mods are immersive and not annoying

Car Alarm

Nice addition to vehicles

Radiant Birds

Can be flagged as ESL.

Better Fireworks Sounds

Duffle Bag Sound Fix

Attention, this mod contains an edited vanilla .nif (mesh) file. Retextures of vanilla duffle bag will work fine, but replacements that change both textures and mesh files may cause issues.

FO4 firearms are not civil war muskets, jeez. Actually there is a musket, but it shoots with lasers!

Immersive Fallout Combat - IFC

Ragdoll makes combat a joke, the unfunny one.

Bullet Impact Overhaul

On the second thought, excessive - too much noises. We'll be using a mod with tracing bullets to make the similar effect of being under fire. For the rest we'll gonna use new weapons sounds and RAO.

 

And also be very careful with mods that alter damage, as you might face issues with too high/low damage.

Myopia Simulator (Immersive Glasses)

If you have myopia like me, its will be the best immersive mod for you. Unfortunately, it has no MCM settings and can't be turned off, so it will remain blurry in looksmenu and during AAF animations. You can use Roggvir's No-Strip Items Manager to keep your glasses on during animations, but there is still no solution for looksmenu. Long story short, great for immersion but has zero configurations.

NPC Accuracy Revised 

Also up to you, I like challenging gunfights so don't mind vanilla accuracy

REAL.AI

REAL.AI - Untethered

You know those settlers who complain about ghouls threatening them from the other side of the map? They've definitely been using this mod! In short, this mod ridiculously increases the NPC detection range, and it would be fun if you won't be constantly attacked by everyone like this. It up to you, but imo it is unbalanced and also may affect quests, so I'd recommend you to skip it or configure yourself.

Real Time Cover Penetration Framework

Excessive and requires manual configuration for different ammo type, install it only if you really need it.

Remove Hammering

Probably should be covered by Rebuild AIO, though I'm not sure. Regardless, hammering makes settlement more live, so I don't mind.

Rusty Face Fix

NOT NEEDED BECAUSE THE REQUIRED FEATURE IS INCLUDED IN HIPOLY FACES REDUX

 

Rusty Face occurs when incorrect texture sizes are used (using 1K face textures for the 2K face) OR when there is a texture mismatch (2047x2047 instead of the 2048x2048). If you encounter the Rusty Face issue right from the start of your modded game, you need to fix the textures. Also, reloading your game might resolve the issue, but it may not work on the first attempt. Don't know much about it honestly, so I'd appreciate any clarifications in the comments.

 

IAF

 

Spoiler

These mods placed here because when they were higher in the mod order, at some point IAF stopped working correctly.

Dynamic Nuka Cola Quantum Light

Illuminated Billboards And Posters - AIO

Use only the All In One Custom Billboard Replacer, since we've already replaced some of the textures to HD ones and you might want to install custom billboards as well. Illuminated posters looks weird tbh, so there's no need to install them. High tech ids seem to be buggy and flickering, as it says from comments. Probably because they have texture file.

Before you run the game:

 

Spoiler

Run the Collective Modding Toolkit and check if you have any issues with your mods, resolve conflicts.

It may recommend you to flag some ESP as ESL, but it is not always save to do it. Better ask in comments to mod/here if you should flag something as ESL or not.

Run the Wrye Bash and run the Plugin Checker, resolve conflicts.

Both tools can show you warnings for some mods, unfortunately you can't resolve 100% of those errors/warnings as some mods just come as is and wasn't updated. If warnings are something critical, its better to delete it. If not, you may leave it as is.

Run the Wrye Bash and build Bashed Patch as Aylis instructed. Make sure that your overwrite folder is clear before you do it.

Build meshes in Bodyslide Studio
For body mesh: select body (Fusion Girl or Bodytalk) => select preset => check the "meshes\actors..." so yellow turns to azure => make sure that batch build unchecked => Build

For outfits batch build: select body => select preset => choose groups for your body (top right search field, second from the right) => select everything BodyTalk3 for Bodytalk body => make sure that "meshes\actors..." is unchecked (in yellow color) => Batch Build => Select options if you have any => Go back to groups and invert the selection (select everything else but BodyTalk3, also include the "Uncategorized)) => Batch Build => Select options you need (look for FG/Fusion Girl).

IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH DEVIOUS DEVICES OUTFITS AND/OR BUTTPLUGS, FOLLOW AS SAID HERE , So far the problem was only with plugs and StraitJacket.

Spend a good dozens of hours testing your build before you start actually playing it. I know, its repetitive, hard and boring. But its better to find any bugs now than be sorry later. And you definitely would not want to delete/add mods in the midgame, as it can break much more than bugs you'll be trying to solve.

Heya - so I'm following this guide, and it's great so far - thanks :)

 

My first questions are regarding the Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch.

 

My questions are:

  1. The guide says to roll back to version 1.10.163.10 but the notes on Nexus for the patch says it's ONLY for version 1.10.980 or later. Can I skip the unofficial patch, do I need to find an older version somewhere (where), or can I ignore the warning about the version?
  2. I know for Skyrim Arthmoor is a bit controversial. Is that the same for F04?

 

EDIT: I searched, and I believe this link has the 1.10.163.10 version of the patch: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4598?tab=files&file_id=270951, but I'm still curious about the other questions.

Hey, you need to use the second file there, the one you linked. It is for GOG version, but it works on downgraded Steam version as well. 

 

Can't help with the second question as I have no idea 😅

I remember talk about Arthmoor a long while ago, but nothing directly recently.  It was mostly about Skyrim as I remember.  Very little to do with Fallout 4.  I do know people grumble about his (her?) site because it's tricky as hell to get on, but otherwise crickets.

Hey Simpossible.  I'm installing your version and noticed in the textures there are a couple things in the Textures section where you retex one thing, then retex it again.  Metal barrels, for example.  Is there a strategy I'm missing?

Sometimes it has to be this way because some textures come in packs and you need to combine best texture from both packs (like with the billboards). As for metal barrels, feel free to choose any replacer you like, I personally prefer Oppressor's.

Hello everyone. This is a pre-final mod list of my guide notes with all the mods, it is a standalone guide and has all the necessary links from Aylis' guide. However there are still a few issues I need to fix:

 

 

I'm currently quite busy with my sims activity and don't have enough time to troubleshoot these issues. Plus, there are a certain amount of undetected bugs because I barely tested the functionality. I would really appreciate your help with testing, reporting and probably troubleshooting any issues you encounter so we can work on fixing them together.

 

Legend:

■ Mandatory

■ Configuration required

■ Optional

■ Notes

■ Bodyslide

■ Skipped

 

VERY IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE THAT YOU DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT VERSION OF FILES COMPATIBLE WITH GAME VERSION 1.10.163. BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL WITH MODS FROM THE F4SE CATEGORY OR FRAMEWORKS, AS INCOMPATIBILITY CAN AND WILL LEAD TO CRASHES AND BROKEN MODS!


Preparation:


Downgrade your Fallout version - follow instructions here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3232095313

 

While it is downgrading, read these articles: Mods to Avoid & Tools to Avoid

Can be useful for renaming NPCs or objects.

Simple Offence Suppression

 

Scrap Everything can and will break precombines, which may not crash your game, but impact performance. For more info you can google "Scrap Everything precombines". I'm personally using Rebuilt AIO instead of Scrap Everything.

Place Everywhere has an annoying feature that allows you to accidentally rotate any object in the settlement, including roads and house walls. You need to be careful with this mod, I just skipped it.

Hair Color Fix

I highly recommend avoiding the Hair Color Fix, as it can make some hair appear with an unnatural bright yellow color. It seems that the Nuka World DLC altered the hair color palette and introduced new colors. As a result, some mods, like the Ivy HD replacer, still use the old palette. This means that instead of getting the intended blonde hair color, you may end up with pink hair instead. You can either use the Hair Color Fix, which can cause some hair colors to look strange, or stick with the HD hair color replacement below that may affect NPCs who were made with old color palette (blonde => pink). The affected only NPC I know so far is Ivy hipoly replacer, you can go with the private version to keep her hair brown.

It's really up to you. Aylis' outfit list is nice, and you might also want to look for new releases since 2023. I recommend only installing outfit mods that you REALLY need or all-in-one packs or that are ESLified. Otherwise, you will run into the plugin limit very quickly.

Bullet Impact Overhaul

On the second thought, excessive - too much noises. We'll be using a mod with tracing bullets to make the similar effect of being under fire. For the rest we'll gonna use new weapons sounds and RAO.

 

And also be very careful with mods that alter damage, as you might face issues with too high/low damage.

Myopia Simulator (Immersive Glasses)

If you have myopia like me, its will be the best immersive mod for you. Unfortunately, it has no MCM settings and can't be turned off, so it will remain blurry in looksmenu and during AAF animations. You can use Roggvir's No-Strip Items Manager to keep your glasses on during animations, but there is still no solution for looksmenu. Long story short, great for immersion but has zero configurations.

REAL.AI

REAL.AI - Untethered

You know those settlers who complain about ghouls threatening them from the other side of the map? They've definitely been using this mod! In short, this mod ridiculously increases the NPC detection range, and it would be fun if you won't be constantly attacked by everyone like this. It up to you, but imo it is unbalanced and also may affect quests, so I'd recommend you to skip it or configure yourself.

Real Time Cover Penetration Framework

Excessive and requires manual configuration for different ammo type, install it only if you really need it.

Remove Hammering

Probably should be covered by Rebuild AIO, though I'm not sure. Regardless, hammering makes settlement more live, so I don't mind.

Rusty Face Fix

NOT NEEDED BECAUSE THE REQUIRED FEATURE IS INCLUDED IN HIPOLY FACES REDUX

 

Rusty Face occurs when incorrect texture sizes are used (using 1K face textures for the 2K face) OR when there is a texture mismatch (2047x2047 instead of the 2048x2048). If you encounter the Rusty Face issue right from the start of your modded game, you need to fix the textures. Also, reloading your game might resolve the issue, but it may not work on the first attempt. Don't know much about it honestly, so I'd appreciate any clarifications in the comments.

Illuminated posters looks weird tbh, so there's no need to install them. High tech ids seem to be buggy and flickering, as it says from comments. Probably because they have texture file. You may check it for yourself, I'd rather skip.

Before you run the game:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

Run the Collective Modding Toolkit and check if you have any issues with your mods, resolve conflicts.

It may recommend you to flag some ESP as ESL, but it is not always save to do it. Better ask in comments to mod/here if you should flag something as ESL or not.

Run the Wrye Bash and run the Plugin Checker, resolve conflicts.

Both tools can show you warnings for some mods, unfortunately you can't resolve 100% of those errors/warnings as some mods just come as is and wasn't updated. If warnings are something critical, its better to delete it. If not, you may leave it as is.

Run the Wrye Bash and build Bashed Patch as Aylis instructed. Make sure that your overwrite folder is clear before you do it.

Build meshes in Bodyslide Studio
For body mesh: select body (Fusion Girl or Bodytalk) => select preset => check the "meshes\actors..." so yellow turns to azure => make sure that batch build unchecked => Build

For outfits batch build: select body => select preset => choose groups for your body (top right search field, second from the right) => select everything BodyTalk3 for Bodytalk body => make sure that "meshes\actors..." is unchecked (in yellow color) => Batch Build => Select options if you have any => Go back to groups and invert the selection (select everything else but BodyTalk3, also include the "Uncategorized)) => Batch Build => Select options you need (look for FG/Fusion Girl).

IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH DEVIOUS DEVICES OUTFITS AND/OR BUTTPLUGS, FOLLOW AS SAID HERE , So far the problem was only with plugs and StraitJacket.

Spend a good dozens of hours testing your build before you start actually playing it. I know, its repetitive, hard and boring. But its better to find any bugs now than be sorry later. And you definitely would not want to delete/add mods in the midgame, as it can break much more than bugs you'll be trying to solve.

To be honest, I'm not sure. It seems to have high poly faces redux patch, but description says its provided "as is". If there are any similar mods but more recent (2024/2025), they should be compatible with all the main PC mods including HiPoly faces.

 

In conclusion, feel free to test it and see if anything wrong, it should be compatible.

Problem doing a test run...during the character creation, I can't seem to add tattoos to a make character.  Female is fine, just not male.  Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I've been testing everything for female characters only, and all the overlays from my list worked fine. I'm planning to rebuild my mod list from scratch later and look into those male tattoos. Are there some specific tattoos that don't show up, or are all of them not appearing?

None of them are showing up.  It's odd, that's never happened before..

Hello everyone. This is a pre-final mod list of my guide notes

Thanks for continuing the work on the FO4 guide. Will spend some time upgrading my game. Especially any new loading bug/fps things are welcome.

 

Minor addendum, the mod "Devious Devices Face Morphs" is already implemented into DD RC8 and onwards so it could cause issues if that is used.

For reference. I've merged the following mods in RC8 so these are redundant, 

  • DD_LegAnimOverride
  • Devious Devices AAF Support
  • Devious Devices Face Morphs
  • Devious Devices NoRun Patch
