Fallout 4

Zepher said:
I have never used the Nexus mod site before or modded Fallout 4, but I downloaded the Mod Pack that fixes and enhances the latest update from Bethesda.
How do I know if the mods are actually working in game? I have the Steam Version of Fallout 4, btw.

I don't know about their newest version, but I've read about the Nexus mod manager having issues in the past. I'd use Wabbajack instead.

https://www.wabbajack.org/

Wabbajack modlists can also be found on Nexus and other places.
 
Hopefully the PC version gets more attention that it did with the last patch. Maybe at least a fix for weapon debris? I don't think it's too much to ask for a fix for one of the basic system options.

Either way, I'll just keep plugging along. I'm thinking that after I finish all the DLC, I'll probably be close to level 50. That's only having barely touched the main story. With all the fusion cores I've found I might just rock power armor full-time for the main quest.

Would like an official fix for the loading time issue, too. These are all outstanding issues that have been around for 9 years.

Yes, it's installed on my SN850X. Transitioning from indoors to out and vice versa takes as long as an HDD. It took anywhere from 20-45 seconds when I was playing around with the new patch after it came out. It should only take a few seconds if the loading screen wasn't tied to the framerate.

ah so its a post-patch thing, did not realize that because i saw old vids from years ago complaining about it. is the high fps patch still broken?

Haven't tried it yet post-patch, but it was always a thing as far as I can remember.

The first time I played it, it would take upwards of 2-3 minutes to load. Transitioning to one cell to another (opening a door into or outside a building) would take even longer, especially in downtown Boston.

I found if I alt-tabbed during a load screen, it would speed things up considerably since the frame rate would go up over 100fps sometimes.
 
Just finished Vault 88. Popped the overseer as soon as I walked in the door, don't need no turncoat,lol.

Clearing out the vault was a blast, literally. The bosses in each section, oh snap! Half a dozen nukes, dozen or so missles and more. Soon much fun.

The high FPS mod that works via F4SE fixes this. It raises the frame rate to like 300+ FPS during loading only so the scripts are ran through faster.

The high FPS mod is basically the only 'must have' mod on PC, and because it's via F4SE dll injection it doesn't remove achievements either or screw up save games.

I have used it on 2 play throughs before with varying success.
I was just making a statement declaring that the bug is pre-patch and has been around since the beginning.

Have you compared this mod to Load Accelerator?

I heard great things about that mod but I have never used that one since I always had FO4 on a HHD (yeah I know, the horror), but the next time around I will give it a shot.
 
It's honestly pretty wild how massive the DLC's are in this game. I'm finally finishing up Nuka World and I spent more time exploring that area than most stand-alone games. My only disappointment is that it seems like all the gangs are using the same gear with different paint. At least minus things like glasses and hats. I was kinda hoping for some more unique weapons. I've hit the point where I don't pick up anything that isn't legendary and like 1/2 of my arsenal = totally worthless even maxed out.

You can just use RTSS.
  • Turn off V-Sync for the game by setting iPresentInterval to 0.
  • Enable the HotkeyHandler plugin in RTSS by checking the box next to it on the Plugins tab in Setup.
  • Highlight HotkeyHandler.dll and click Setup.
  • Click the text box next to "Toggle framerate limiter" and record the keyboard shortcut you want to use.
  • Add a profile directed to Fallout4.exe where it's installed.
  • Set the framerate limiter to 60 by clicking on the text box, typing 60, and pressing enter.

Now you can use that shortcut to flip between 60 FPS and no cap.

Spoiler:

Pass speech check with Packe Leader Mason for an excellent weapon.

I totally missed out on that one, but (luckily) bought one with the same properties in the Nuka market. It cost pretty much everything I had, but that has to be in contention for the best gun in the game. Even just the normal handmade = elite. With stacking damage? Fuggedaboutit.

Yep with the Commando, Rifleman and Gun Nut perks maxed, the Splattercannon is an unstoppable force.
Better than the Kiloton Radium Rifle or the Overseer's Guardian IMHO.
 
Even though I did get an Explosive Combat shotgun once late game that was the bees knees.

National Guard Training Yard is where you can get one sometimes.

Wait a minute...

With settlements properly configured with supply chain and vendors, you shouldn't have to scrounge to buy anything. I'm making several thousand caps from each settlement every in-game week and have resources a plenty. That's not using cheats or mods to do it.

And you can make even more if you convert them to Bandit settlements.

The Deliverer is my personal favorite weapon. Not the most powerful but I will use it to stealth clear places until I'm discovered or come up against bosses and tougher legendary enemies.

Apparently I've done absolutely none of that, lol. I found around 15K in caps just playing, but that's it.

Man, that's rough lol

Plenty of places in Nuka World with mediocre gear to scavenge and sell.

In all honesty, I haven't needed money minus that one gun. I bought a piece of shoulder armor super early that boosts 2 stats for 500 caps, but those are the only things I've really needed to buy. I guess there was one vendor selling power armor frames for like 5K, but I already have 7 of those. At this point it would just be a matter of collecting them all. I don't recall using money all that much in my first pass, either. I got so many supplies for bulldozing Vault 81 that I've maxed out every gun I own.

That requires engaging with the settlement system, though.
