I've got a problem on my end. Seems Fallout 4 didn't care too much for 407 mods and is on its deathbed. I can still play but the areas around Goodneighbor and Faneuil Hall are glitched. Here's what it looks like:
And, my PipBoy map is messed-up. If I set a custom destination I can't remove it. My character icon is a cave entrance as is with quest destinations. Quest direction markers are not showing up.
I'm going to see if I can fix these issues. If not, wipe and reinstall. No hair off my back. Done it many times before.

I fixed this!
It's DEF UI.
I did everything right but there is one catch.
On DEF UI install this is mandatory:
Here is the catch: When you do these, the .xml files might save in Data\Interface instead.
If they do, simply move them to what he says in the instructions here and you are good to go.
EDIT: Now I need to fix my workshop menu yet again...
Tutorial - Adding custom workshop categories with scripts at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community
People say use universal menu fixer.
It works!

I think I am level 11 now in this game. Quests are somewhat interesting. However, I feel threatened actually going out in the wild. Unlike FO3 and FONV where after level 5 or so there was little to no threat, in this one, I actually feel tense.
Not bad. Are there multiple maps to the game or is it just one map. The current starting map I am on, seems a bit small for a Fallout game.
Another stupid question. Where do I find concrete. I need to put up water in the starting area but can never seem to find concrete and rubber.

Currently, the only other map is the Far Harbor DLC. Nuka World is to be released in August it seems it may add another map though that is unclear to me at this time.
Scrap broken houses, cinder blocks or buy concrete from various vendors. Here's the WiKi page with locations. Scrap tires and toys to get rubber.

Use one or the other. I prefer to use the All DLC Building independent patch since it places every DLC in their own menu instead of being mixed-in with the main menu. When Nuka World is released, any items it adds will be in that menu.

The main map is the only map until you hit Far Harbor, then that is it's own map. For concrete scrap all the houses in sanctuary, there's also a bag of concrete next to the workstation you can scrap. If you need more you can buy bags of 50 at Abernathy farms. First thing I do in a new game is scrap ALL of sanctuary, I've never had an issue with concrete early game. Kickballs, basketballs, extinguishers, plunger, baby bottle - they all have rubber and some are available in sanctuary.

Where all the sweet Vault 88 build pics at?
Right?
I would have figured some of our regulars in here would have blown us away with underground metropolises and who knows what else?

Sorry, been busy turning Starlight Drive In into the finest arena/Soylent Green factory in the Commonwealth.... You'd think the Gunners would get the idea to stay away, but no.........

Was going to return to play this game, then easily remembered why I stopped to play and why I hate it sometimes.. and it's the stupid loading screens, specially in the financial district where one have to enter/exit several times from buildings.. certainly I can not hate it enough.. =)..

Install it on an SSD. That's one of the reasons why I don't have HDD's anymore, way too slow even for games.
I don't want to derail this thread but this is an opening for something I'm likely going to be forced to do.
Long/short: I have an SSD for OS and programs. That's Drive 1.
Drive 2 is a newer Western Digital Black "normal" hard drive for storage.
Drive 3 is an older version of the same thing that I'm starting to have concerns about and am getting ready to get away from it. My steam install and the bulk of my games... including Fallout 4... are on here although some of the games have been installed on Drive 2. Steam lets you split your game libraries. Very handy.
Got all that?
What is the cleanest way for me to get everything on to Drive 2 (or even Drive 1) given all of that? Thanks to any and all who might answer this. I really don't want to create a nightmare for myself.

Ouch, that's gonna be rough, especially if you have a lot of mods. I'm not sure how NMM works now, but Mod Organizer would be fine with that since you can just change the target folder. NMM has virtual folders too, but I'm not sure if it works exactly the same.
That said, with Steam, I have no idea how to effectively move games. I usually don't have that many games installed and just uninstall/re-download onto a new drive.

Even on SSD they are long.. it's really annoying... I think my Samsung 840 Pro is good enough, but even installed there you have 15+ secs load screens on some areas. much more worse is the experience with mods... I used to have over 160 mods on skyrim and it wasn't anywhere close to FO4, Loading screens were still instant..
That sounds awesome.
Believe me, on my regular hard drive that I have F4 on currently I would do cartwheels in the street to see 30 seconds or less. With a couple of dozen mods I can go to 2-3 minutes on initial loads after I load up a save on my "normal" Western Digital hard drive.
Skyrim was roughly comparable.
If I loaded it up in 15 seconds I'd be doing cartwheels in the street.

It was for me the same way in my first installation on the HDD, the game was new I never knew about the ridiculously long load screens the game was fine at the start through the first missions.. but as soon as you go to dense areas load screens were over 1 and half minute.. damn, immediately installed on SSD but still in those areas load screens go beyond 15secs specially with mods which is insane for a 2015-2016 game.. it make really annoying where you have to go inside and outside several times, for me it's a game breaking as I get bored fast between load screens.
Skyrim was only the first load screen when opening up the game, then everything else on SSD was instant..

I agree, I'm in the same boat. Have it installed on a Patriot Blast 240GB and the load times are really long. I find myself not wanting to enter buildings or go outside because of it. I've played the hell out of Skyrim and dont ever remember it taking this long to load , even with 50+ mods installed. Fallout 4 is junk.

As soon as F4SE supports the latest patch (1.7.12) then I'll be able to get back to playing FO4 and maybe showing-off my incomplete vault.

Latest F4SE update to support FO4 1.7.12 is live. Get it and play a bit before Bethesda updates FO4, again.

Hopefully I'm doing this right.....Pics?
Yes, Piper is literally knee deep in the dead once we get all the pieces gathered up. So let's take the lift up to the top.
You'll notice that already a few bodies and body parts are already on the conveyor belt. Where are they going outside the arena?
What the hell is this thing?
Corpse goes in.....
Oh my.....
Now where is this going?
Add a little water and some steel.....
And the Commonwealth's hunger issues are resolved!
But what about the rest of the dead gunners? Wouldn't you think that this is awful wasteful? Absolutely! Which is why the factory has another process. Where does the rest go?
There go the bones, but to where?
Into the compactor with ye!
Starlight Cinema - Where you bones get compressed into little blocks!
Now, let's follow them little blocks to their next stage....
Oh no, not again. What horrific fate awaits the remains of the dead?
That's right folks, not only does Starlight Drive In feed the Commonwealth, we also supply glue! And I thought horses have it bad.
Now, there's some limitations that doesn't allow the recyclers to break down weapons and armor yet, but there are segments waiting for the modders to fix these issues, but the hope is that eventually, Starlight will make food, glue, clothing and weapons from Gunners and their equipment.
You'll need the Contraptions DLC and these mods to create your own Soylent Green factory:

In short - an immediate method of doing this is to use NTFS Junction Points
NTFS junction point - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It's a very simple method to allow you to redirect directories. I've used it many times to move things around my computer or you could use junction points to create a single directory structure, with content distributed around various media - and stuff like that.
Obviously it's sometimes not the best long term solution, but you can clean things up and/or move things around again as and when your hardware changes.
Wouldn't it just be easier to set up a steam library on the other drive and tell steam to install the files there instead?

Not really.
They're different approaches to the same end result.
Using junction points allows me for example to move an installed steam game right now, without having to do anything else at all other than move the directories and create the junction point. I'm moving the data at the file system level and it means I don't need to do anything at all within steam.
i.e. I can move an already installed game (and redirect its location using a junction point) and there's no re-installation or anything else required.
Basically I'm a "horses for courses" kind of person. I'm not saying my method is better than your suggestion - just it's another option and it's a very simple one, that is easy to implement and doesn't require anything else.
Use whatever method you think is most appropriate in your own situation

You can use the Steam Backup function, then delete the game then restore it. You don't need to download it again. But I fully admit I'm lazy and I'd just download the entire thing again... Did I mention I have fiber to the home? It really affects the way you think about downloading things from Steam.
I'm not saying your approach is bad, it isn't. But you do have to be careful using junction points because Windows Explorer and a lot of other tools don't treat them properly. It's fully possible to delete files off of one drive when trying to delete them from another. I've accidentally done a few stupid things with them in the past. I'm a KISS type of person, less things to potentially go wrong.

All correct.
I could use that steam backup feature - or I could use a junction point and do the whole thing as fast as I can move the directory involved.
Personal preference really.
I don't have fibre at home yet (it's in progress at the moment) - but agreed - internet bandwidth changes your perspective and approach in a lot of scenarios.
The being careful part... I also agree - but from my angle that's a user issue and I'm quite comfortable doing things that most users wouldn't.
I do appreciate my methods don't necessarily suit anyone else.
For me - Junction points are the most simple, easy solution - so again - it depends on your perspective.
Enjoy the game anyway - I'm intentionally taking my time in FO4 - and I'm looking forward to Nuka World when it's released

Played the Nuka World Beta and I'm impressed with it. I won't give any spoilers but if you don't have it I recommend Nuka World DLC.
One important piece of info: When Nuka World is released, before playing, check your HUD mods for updates as the current versions are incompatible and will cause CTD.

Nuka World looks crazy I think they strike a balance between a theme park and Radiation but not sure if I would want to spend time in a videogame to play it. I like Automatron but haven't played the last two DLCs from lack of interest.

Awesome!
I haven't bothered much with the workshop DLCs, but I really liked the Automatron DLC and Far Harbor. There's definite perks to the Automatron one (I've now got a seriously bad ass robot companion) and Far Harbor has some fun plot options and things to do (esp. if you're evil)...
Looks like I'll have plenty more killin' to do when Nuka World downloads
