Looking for a great mod collection for playthrough

[JOHNofWORLD]

I am looking for a collection of mods for a very dark and gloomy fallout 4 playthrough. I'm talking slaves, dismemberment, blood, gore, seggs in "ALL" its forms, guns out the yang, amazing but of course realistic bodyslides for both genders, dirt and grime. Basically a true immersive post apocalyptic wasteland with a theme that truly represents it with all its good and bad. 

 

Size of mods does not matter to me. I don't care for 2k, 4k or 8k resolution.

 

I will be playing a male character on survival that is with the Enclave.

 

Lastly, I am sorry if this isn't the place to put this as I am struggling to find a list of mods I desire.

Chances are you are not going to find such a thing, you might get something close, though there are not that many mod lists on here or wabbajack for fallout 4, that are so dark and dismal, checking on wabbajack, which only shows 5 lists, and that includes the nsfw lists, this seems the closest to what you are looking for and even that is not really what you want https://github.com/cacophony-wj/licentia_black/blob/main/PARABELLUM.MD

 

Chances are you are going to have to in effect get down and dirty and build your own list, basing it on another one for maybe the combat, blood and gore bit, then find the appropriate sex mods and get them working with it yourself.  Well unless somebody has already done so and just not posted that list, which is also possible.

I may be over-generalizing, but I don't think mod packs are very popular here on LL.  There are technical and personal preference reasons for that.

 

On the technical side, how do you know the pack creator knows what they are doing, and that all of the mods in their pack play nicely together?  Also, if one mod in the pack is updated, how will that affect all of the other mods?

 

On the preference side, the only person who knows what kinds of mods you like is you.  Weapons ripped from other games are very popular with some people, but maybe you like lasers.  Maybe the bodyslide files are only for women with big boobs, and you like small breasted women.

 

Better to invest the time and check out the mods yourself and build the game that YOU like, not what someone else likes.

They're not. People build their own load orders exactly the way they want them.  Mod packs are for those lazy schmucks that have no idea how to mod, usually because they can't be bothered reading through mod descriptions and requirements. It's not rocket science, just takes a bit of patience and rudimentary skill of understanding a written text. Something that apparently is rare these days.

I agree with what you said, hence my closing statement about investing the time.  I was just trying to be a little bit diplomatic about it (just to prove that I can do that, sometimes),

I was simply throwing out a general idea of what I wanted. I just came over from my modded skyrim of 500+ mods. This is not my first time doing any of this on FO4 which I am already 600 mods in, tweaking as I go. I was hoping for advice, lists, and recommendations. The only preference I made was along the lines of not having skyscraper sized milk jugs and not caring about resolutions.

 

I accept responsibility for assuming the average commenter here on LL would understand what I meant.

Thanks for the recommendation. Also yeah, I have been "getting down and dirty" picking up various mods along the way to make the collection I desire. It's just so much to go through which is why I made this forum thing to begin with. Looking for advice, etc.

There are no shortcuts to this. In order to mod you have to mod.

For me personally, it took 2 years of trial, error and experimentation before I reached a somewhat satisfactory result in building what I wanted to build. Then I deleted everything and started over with a clean slate, building exactly the load order I wanted and could afford (in terms of what my aged PC could handle). This took a week and a half of research and installing stuff and another 2 full days of making my own merged patch by hand in xEdit. No automation. The last part almost drove me crazy, but at the end I finally had the game in the exact state I wanted it.

 

A month later Bethesda dropped AE update for Skyrim and ruined everything.

For the xedit conflict patch,  I pretty much just get a automatically made one then go through and manually edit it, tedious but a bit quicker than making one by hand from nothing.

 

And it looks from comments as though there is a AE equivalent update coming for Fallout 4 sooner or later, though they have been talking about it for a couple of years now I think.

xEdit can't make an automated patch above 255 plugins. And in SSEEdit specifically it's a legacy function, unsupported. No, I don't use zEdit, Mator or Wrye.

I think there might be some utility for one of those real competent folks (which is not me) to make a downlaodable collection needed for erotic adventures.

And from there one other collections can be added.

Here are some reocmmndations from me for the OP.

 

AAF framework (there is a whole thread on that on LL)

Various AAF animations

bodytalk3 (for the guy side)

Bodyslide the program and try different bodyslides available on Nexus. Stay away from the extremes if you want realism (no ultra skinny no cartoon character boobs)

CBBE requirement for body slide and many erotic mods https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/15

TSEX/TSEX Hardship

various presets here are some female ones with textures for it. There are other textures available on Nexus, like valkyr etc , pick one and stick with it as mixing textures can lead to bad looks. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/30019

Bunch of male and female presets but they dont work well with ym current textures: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/61476

This one has both men and women and looks good with my basic textures: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/16788

Human resources here on LL

Various adult mods from here to your liking

playing on Survival mod 

Rescuiung pretty girls from raiders, Supermutants and then make them settlers: CommonWealth Captives ( here on LL)

 

When you have all that working you have the erotic side done and that is the hardest part of your suggested vision.

The only "hard" part to get working is AAF and its components.

Once that is done most other mods are easy plug and play.

The issue with this sort of thing, just like with any other mod pack is permissions and upkeep, getting the permissions from each and every mod author for every mod you want to include, and then making sure it keeps working, just take a look at the install guide for AAF, which pretty much changes every time something in it is updated, and then also having to deal with the headache of the constant it does not work anymore, when something updates.

 

That is why most of the wabbajack mod lists, use specific mod version numbers, and tell you not to update them, as they are built around that mod version, and when they do update, you usually get told to re-run wabbajack and run the update option.

 

You also have the problem of what happens when a mod in your list is for whatever reason removed by the author, you may be able to keep it in if they permit it, but if they remove their mods totally, you then have to rebuild it, with the associated complaints from the users of your mod pack complaining about that mods functions no longer being available, and wanting you to include it again, mod packs are a lot of time and effort on the part of the person making them, and most people simply do not have the time or effort to put into building and maintaining them.
