Sounds about right for the average Fo4 experience with someone that has two braincells to rub together. It feels a little surreal doesn't it? You can get mods to help fix the issues but the only mods that outright fix the issues are mods that removed them entirely. Shit like FROST or that one mod that deletes all story based NPCs that's usually used with zombie apocalypse and horror mod lists.
Tfw bought lifetime membership over a decade ago and THEN they started doing all the gay shit.You don't have to pay Nexus money at all to use it though?
You need an account to download now but that's about it.
Maybe it's just because I have good internet but the download speed penalty for not paying for Nexus gold or whatever the fuck they call their bullshit is negligible.
Honestly, if anyone is paying them money they're fucking suckers.
At this point just download Sim Settlements 2, it has a brand new campaign easily the length of the base game or even longer and completely overhauled settlement mechanics. Every single quest, even hours in, either introduced new characters, settlement functions or progresses the story or new factions included in the mod. MATN is 50 episodes into the mod, with the main story seemingly finished and he is still getting new settlement mechanics thrown at him that make the base game settlement system look like a non-functioning broken pre-alpha that it is.
im one of the wierd few i guess that loves bethesda games and has played them for 20 years but never once modded them as a rule.
Isn't SS2 on the paid mod store or whatever it's called? It's practically a free DLC/main quest expansion, you're doing yourself a disservice not playing it. Settlements in the base game serve no purpose, there is no reward for building them up nor is there a punishment for failing to meet their upkeep or even failing to stop an invasion. It is a prototype that shipped as a bare minimum lego set for curious players and autistic minecraft fans, doing a settlement/mayor run without SS2 or another mod that completely overhauls the mechanics and rewards you for engaging with the mechanic is a waste of time. How do I know? Because I also made several runs where I did just that, except I had to find some way to give myself incentive at some point and that led to me massively modding the game to give mayor character unique benefits. At least with Raider outposts you get a whole lot of regenerating loot, some of the best stores in the game and unique buildings, like chem vending machines. Even that is a step in the right direction compared to the vanilla game mechanic.
Sim Settlements 2 is fucking awesome and turns settlements from these boring things that just exist into actual thriving towns. I like to set up Sanctuary as a water supply/generalist base since its your first, Red Rocket as a commercial area for caps (not that you really need that since a couple purifiers in Sanctuary means you're just printing money), the movie theater as my initial industrial area since its got all that flat land, the farm by Sanctuary as well, my main farm, and when I head south the marshland construction site is a second industrial area since it too has a lot of flat land.
How are you running SS2 with Sanctuary, Red Rocket, and Abernathy Farm all active and not crashing the moment you step foot in their vicinity?
Bold of you to assume it didn't crash like crazy whenever I went near those.
Yeah, same as anything else. The item IDs are all on the wiki. The only thing you need to know is the load order of the DLC. Those two "xx" at the start of the item ID on the wiki? That's gonna be related to your load order, so for example Honest Hearts is the second DLC in your load order it would be '02' or something. Basically, depending on what DLC the item you're trying to spawn is from you'll have to check what order it is in your load order to figure out the magic number.
thanks dawg I just want that cool ass desert armor for my second playthrough
I think there's a mod which gives some DLC items as fixed locations in Mojave.
Oh yeah in case anyone was interested in those. Sawyer Batty TTW and Rebirth - TTW Gameplay Overhaul. (Also if you're using JIP CCC make sure to grab the patch for that so companions can use the health items added by JSawyer.)
No, you are not.
Yeah I do it the other way around since I really dislike Fallout 3's intro and storyline in general. And that one mod that disables the story is the best mod I've found so far for TTW.
He was but he was unconscious. But when I released the cells to go and try to investigate what I thought was his corpse initially... he was gone.
