Fallout 4

[modi123]

Ah.. as it is I was quite happy with round 1, and haven't had time to mess with round 2 today. We'll see how that goes.

 

[Parja]

The season pass cost 50€...

You paid too much.

 

[AceGoober]

CaptNumbNutz Can you post your load order in spoiler tags so I can take a look at it? If there are missing objects then I can help restore them. Never throw-aside the power of the Fallout series mod-logical Goober!

sblantipodi Unless you are fast travelling, have Legendary Sprinter modified clothing or armor, or some other sprinter mod, Automatron should take the average person four to five hours to complete depending upon the challenges presented from point A to point B. There are also the other various factors which come into play: level, perks, weapons, etc. Keep those in-mind when criticizing add-on content.

Parja sblantipodi may not have been able to purchase the Season Pass prior to March 1. That said, Bethesda hasn't mentioned what future DLCs will be after Far Harbor. Much too early to pass judgement.

 

[TaintedSquirrel]

Geez where is the Survival patch? I was expecting it to come out with Wasteland Workshop.

 

[RW2112]

Survival mode is still in beta so wasn't expecting it to make it in time to be included in the Wasteland Workshop....

I couldn't get the season pass before the price hike so had to wait to buy the DLC's. That said, Automatron gave me around 4 hrs of play on the quest-line. That makes the cost around $2.50 per hour of entertainment. Since a movie ticket can cost between $8 to $12 for about 2 hours of entertainment avg ($12 is for evening showing of a 3D movie) I consider Automatron good value for my dollar. Wasteland Workshop at $5 gives me a lot of new options for settlement building and I've not even explored the arena building yet. Again, good value for my entertainment dollar.

Of course, your milage may vary.....

 

[HeavensCloud]

I love the Automatron DLC. Making the different bots is fun, and ADA is a pretty cool non-judging companion with 450 carry weight, a minigun, and a missle launcher. The eye-bot bench is kind of worthless though. I had it set to find ballistic fiber and it found 4 the first time and only 1 the second time. Not really worth it for having to trek into the middle of a facility to find. I'd rather buy it from vendors with my 15 charisma and a grape mentat.

First my boot order:

Spoiler: Nexus Mod Manager screenshot

I'm confused if I should enable DLCRobot and DLCworkshop01 yet. NMM did not enable them by default. I have only done the first mission of Automatron. I don't want to enable something yet if it is something I unlock playing the DLC. Your advice would be great.



==============================

Here's the Clark Mart. 3 Floors with a dormitory for the shop keepers on the 3rd floor.
It's dimensions are 8 panels wide by 3 panels deep. It mostly fits on a house foundation, but I did add some more concrete foundation pieces.

Spoiler: Clark Mart Screenshots (Warning: Large Images)

Clark Mart from the rear as you enter Sanctuary from the southeast bridge. I had to put the scaffolding there to access the roof. I can't even get up there with a jetpack. The two small fusion reactors on the roof are massive overkill, but I don't care. I will probably put more up there and start linking it to my other buildings. There is some massive Aliasing in these pics. I only have a GTX 760 4GB, at high settings without AA it gets a consistent 40-50fps.

Building it only took a couple hours, but stocking those shelves took a god damn lifetime. Even if you open the Workshop mode you can't place everything properly on those particular shelves. Enter workshop mode, pick up and place right side up, exit workshop mode pick up and place carefully. Back and forth... back and forth.

Clark Mart from the Front. Dual Entrances. Note the dual stair cases immediately after entering and out of the way for NPC's to use. For those that don't know how settlement shops work, all objects on the store shelves are display only and the real inventory is with the shop keepers.

Also, I need neon letters for my sign.

==============

First Floor: General Goods (Trader), Clothes, Weapons, Armor

Centralized Cashiers/Customer Service
I've got one shopping cart. I need to go steel some of those shopping baskets from my shitty competitor downtown called the Super Duper Mart. Their customer service sucks, and the employees keep trying to eat me.

First Floor Left Side: General Goods and Clothing
Toys are stocked in the corner, and yes they are next to shelves with rat poison and anti-freeze. Life in the Fallout Universe sucks, but in my version of it kids learn early. I guess it could be worse, there are landmines and grenades at kid level on the other side of the store...

First Floor Right Side: Weapons/Ammo and Armor

Note the missing square in the ceiling. That's actually where a stair case is on the 2nd floor. I could not find a piece to fill that in and make it look nicer.

I friggin hate these display cases. I need something better.
I'm fully aware of the bushes coming through the floor. I haven't used the scrapping mods yet, and by all counts I need to be reeeeeeeeaally careful when using them in Sanctuary. I'm actually scared to mess with them just yet. Please forgive the mess.

First Floor Behind the Counter
For anyone that doesn't know already: The floor mats underneath the traders on the floor behind the counters are the new Shops. You assign a settler to a floor mat and don't have to build those goofy matchstick trader huts. I'm pulling in dozens of caps a day with these guys.
Each register and the safe is stocked with Pre-war money since I can't stock them with caps.

==============

Second Floor: Restaurant and Groceries


Full Kitchen
I need to add some plates, cups, and silverware. I think I might put a couple stools along the counter too. 2 registers, but one store. Damn drinking buddy took up shop here and I can't get him to leave. Oh well. You can see Vault 111 in the distance in the upper right corner.

Don't ask about the special...

Foooooooood

Booze and Snacks/Candy
Stocking those bottles was a bitch and a half. They want to tip over no matter what you do. I'm not going to bother stocking the other shelves since that one was the easiest of the 3 shelves to place them on.

Better shot of Diner
Note the stairs to first floor in lower left corner. This view faces towards the river and you can see the Red Rocket gas station in the distance.

==============

3rd Floor: Dormitory

Laundry

Third Floor Hallway:
Left Side is front of store. 5 apartments total for each of the vendors. Each has their own assigned bed. They get up in morning and go downstairs, then go to bed at night. It's beautifully automated. Each apartment is 2x1 in size. The laundry and bathroom are 1x1 in size.

Left Side - 4 apartments.
Right Side - Laundry (behind and right of camera's view), Apartment (center), Bathroom on the end. Note staircase in lower right of pic. It's position is mirrored on the other side of this hallway.

Apartment

Bathroom
They probably need a plunger soon. Mole rat stew is infamous for melting porcelain.

[AceGoober]

CaptNumbNutz Your load order isn't organized. Close NMM, download then install LOOT.

Open NMM, at the top-middle of the menu there will be a yellow folder with a crossed wrench and screwdriver. Click the drop-down arrow then click LOOT.

Before sorting your load order you'll need to remove the read-only attribute from the plugins.txt file located in your \Users\[Your Profile Name]\AppData\Local\Fallout4 folder. Right-click on the file, un-check the box next to read-only then press OK.

On the LOOT main screen, click the underscored down arrow at the top-right. This will download the latest sorting database. You should see a notification at the lower-left corner. Once that is done, click the three line sort button to the left of the download database, LOOT will sort the load order then a Apply button will appear next to the sort button. Click apply then close LOOT. NMM should show the new load order under Plugins tab.

Please remember that LOOT is a WIP and doesn't cover every mod made for Fallout 4 thus far. You may have to perform manual sorting in order to get the mods to play with each other nicely.

If any of you all need help with manual sorting let me know. I've got plenty of practice with it.

As requested AceGoober

First my boot order:

Spoiler: Nexus Mod Manager screenshot

View attachment 1977

Here are a couple mod suggestions I'd like to make:

1. Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE): As with Skyrim Script Extender this utility adds greater functionality to FO4's scripts for mod authors to use. One such mod is Place Everywhere which is a F4SE plugin. PE allows you to place objects anywhere within and outside the settlement workshop area and embed in other objects. PE is one of my must have mods (coupled with pressing F2 to disable surface snap) as it has allowed me to replace the floor in Home Plate and the floor at Starlight Drive-In. PE also allows for greater ease of placing objects on shelves. You can do the same without PE but to me it is a bit of a hassle.

Spoiler: Home Plate and Starlight Drive-In

One big benefit of F4SE is it bypasses the Fallout4_Launcher which can - and does - revert ini files back to stock which is very inconvenient for someone like me who has heavily modified ini files. F4SE has saved me a good deal of time by removing Fallout4_Launcher.exe out of the equation.

2. Scrap Dead Things: Another must have mod as it allows for scrapping dead bodies, mole rat holes and other things instead of waiting for the game remove them. One other cool feature of SDT is to scrap living things. On Spectacle Island even after activating the speaker which should have killed or made the Mirelurks run away, there were still a few Mirelurks left and a couple of them decided to attack me while I was in workshop mode. Scrapped the crabs right as they were swinging at me. I still get a good chuckle every time I think about it.

Edit: Created a short video of my character scrapping Mirelurks as they tried to run away from me.



I'd recommend enabling DLCworkshop01 at the least for the additional objects especially the neon letters.

Spoiler: Spoiler about Automatron

Since you have already completed one mission then leave DLCRobot disabled for the time being unless you want to battle rogue robot squads no matter where you go.

I'm confused if I should enable DLCRobot and DLCworkshop01 yet. NMM did not enable them by default. I have only done the first mission of Automatron. I don't want to enable something yet if it is something I unlock playing the DLC. Your advice would be great.

For my current character I've got two big projects going on at Abernathy Farms and Egret Tours Marina. As soon as I get both settlements structures complete then I'll post pics. I'd guess a week give or take a day or two.

 

[Q-BZ]

Place Everywhere and Scrap Dead things... I can't believe I missed these until now. I need to learn how to use PE properly.

 

[AceGoober]

Place Scrap Dead Things at the very end of your load order otherwise it won't work properly.

Edit 1: for PE to work properly you'll need to place the object on the ground (F2 - Surface Snap must be turned-on), let go then grab it again to place it where you want.

Q-BZ I'm looking through your load order right now to see if there are any optimizations to recommend.

Edit 2: Move Snap'n Build - Patches.esp directly below Homemaker - SK Integration.esp and before any of the other Homemaker files.

[AceGoober]

Q-BZ Move SC_ExpandedScrapList.esp below WastelandWorkshopPatch.esp.

Spoiler: Wasteland Workshop

WW has many scrappable objects which are covered by SC_ExpandedScrapList.esp. Moving the SC esp below WWP will allow you to scrap those objects. As of this moment, SC doesn't support all of WW objects but I'd imagine the mod author will update either as soon as they can or when Fallout 4 GECK/Creation Kit is released.

 

[CEpeep]

Personally, I would be hesitant about going HAM on tools like LOOT and generally installing a bunch of mods at this time. The GECK is in beta and upon release, Bethesda will likely change a lot of things about how mods install and work. It's already known that there will be a new distribution channel for mods through Bethesda.net. The survival mode beta changes how mods are loaded, so we know that at least some sorts of changes are coming. If you want all your saves to work error free for Far Harbor and the next release of the game, it may be worth it to hold off on anything more complicated than simple replacer mods for a week or two. If nothing else, it is likely that some modders will abandon the Nexus in favor of Bethesda.net so their mods will work on consoles.

 

[AceGoober]

I sincerely doubt Fallout 4 mods on console will have the flexibility as on PC. I also believe Bethesda will, in partnership with Microsoft and Sony, put into place restrictive rules which will place much more pressure on mod authors to conform. And, since each company will be hosting said mods then I find it likely a fee will be charged for the hosting service.

Many modders have a real life with a real family, job and responsibilities. If the companies demand them to make changes to their mods to conform to the platform(s) restrictions then I believe there won't be a mass exodus from NexusMods as you say.

< snip > If nothing else, it is likely that some modders will abandon the Nexus in favor of Bethesda.net so their mods will work on consoles.

 

[CEpeep]

I think it's just the other way around. If I only have limited time to maintain my mod, I will likely move it to Beth.net so that console players can use it too.

Mods that require flexibility like script extenders will still be exclusively available through unofficial channels, but those are only a fraction of all mods. I totally see simple replacers and quality-of-life mods moving to Beth.net in a big way.

Don't underestimate what mods on consoles will do to the community. People have been wanting this for a long time. I just hope Bethesda handles it smoothly.

 

[AceGoober]

CaptNumbNutz Really digging your Curie Hospital and Clark Mart. Nice job!

One object I think would go well with the Clark Mart are those shopping baskets found in Super Duper Mart. Place a few around the store and it would really add to the look and feel.

I've been busy working on Egret Tours Marina for the past couple of days. Certainly has been a hair puller getting objects to line-up like I imagined. Great learning experience though.

Three story house for the settlers with 30 beds. Lots of decorating needs to be completed before it'll look like a home.

Here's another new building I just finished tonight.

Cait's Club
Bar and Boxing/Gym. My residences are free to drink and take out their grievances and frustrations in a civil manner. MacReady is the bartender. Cait own's the place and stand's there and looks pretty. I figure I would make a building ideally suited to her nature while providing Sanctuary with much needed entertainment.

Spoiler: Cait's Club pictures

Entrance
Location is in the spare area near the rear walkway of Sanctuary that goes up to the Vault 111. Completely unused space.
Size is 5 units wide by 7 units deep, 8 units deep if you include front porch and entry way.
It's 8am, and already Preston Garvey has had a few. The stairs to the second floor are visible through the left window. Not pictured is the Fusion reactor on the roof powering the whole thing.

First Floor: Entrances and corner
I reeeeeeeaally fucking hate those bushes. I need to install that mod to scrap them, but don't want to screw everything else up.

First Floor: Bar
Bathroom in far corner, Pool Table with 2 cues, triangle, and all 15 balls. Bar is fully stocked with every beer and liquor the game has. Fridge full of Gwinnett beers.
Today I learned Bethesda didn't scale the triangle for the pool table correctly. They are supposed to hold all 15 balls. Bethesda's barely hold's 4.

First Floor: Bathroom
WTF is on the wall overlooking the urinal? Let's take a look...

A Feral Ghoul with a very shocked face. Gotta liven the atmosphere a little.

First Floor: Stage
This is Cait's Club and she's dressed for the occasion. Cait's enjoying those spotlights, and she's got her own soundboard to the left.

The speaker's on the wall are special radio's tuned into Diamond City Radio for that bar atmosphere. I needed several of them to provide enough volume to fill the whole bar with music. The square hole in the ceiling is where the 3rd floor stairs are. Don't ask me why it does that.

More of the dance floor. There is a Disco Ball on the ceiling that you can't see. It's just out of frame in the upper right corner. The jukebox is for show only, for some stupid reason the jukeboxes only play classical.

Second Floor: Boxing ring
As you enter the 2nd floor, you are immediately greeted with the boxing ring. Set of gloves, announcer's table complete with bell. Towels for the sweat. To the left is the stairs to the 3rd floor. To the right is the entrance to the locker room.

Second Floor: Gym
From left to right: Locker Room/Bathroom, Water fountain, barbells and Office for Bar and Gym

Second Floor: Locker Room
Showers, bench, lockers, washer/dryer for towels. Spin 180 and you get the bathroom.

Second Floor: Bathroom

Second Floor: Gym
Clark Mart and Curie Clinic are visible outside window as well as Concord Water Tower in far distance.

Second Floor: Office

Third Floor: Executive Companion Suites
View from corner. Stairs to second floor in lower right. Left Side: MacReady's room. End of hall on left: Cait's room. Immediately in front of stair case on right: Laundry. Other side of laundry: Living room.

Third Floor: MacReady's room
Bedroom is 4x4 units, 1x1 bathroom with shower (same design as I've shown before) in corner. To get an idea of layout, MacReady's bathroom is adjacent to the wall where Cait's Bed is. Cait's bathroom is adjacent to the wall where MacReady's bathroom is. This design saved a hell of a lot of space.

MacReady's Room: Opposite angle

Third Floor: Laundry

Third Floor: Living Room
There's a houseplant in the far right corner you can't see.

Third Floor: Cait's Room
Full Bathroom w/ shower, same design as the other bathrooms.

That look amazing man, what lighting mods are you using? those pics at night looks great.. are you using also a Darker Nights or similar? finally after 150+ hours of exploration (I always like to know the place first ) I've decided to start to let it go skyrim finally after how knows how amount of thousands of hours and put some dedicated time to FO4.

I have already started with Homemaker which are making to stay ridiculous amount of times re-building settlements but one of the mods of which I have kinda more let's say "passion" is with lighting and environmental details. that's why im asking you that..

also.. a more general question for every other user here.. I have performance to spare with my OC'd 980TI but that's no the case of my cousin that playing with me daily this game, he is using a good ol' R9 280X the performance of his game is actually pretty good with everything ultra except god rays which are turned down to low, so what could be some recommendations for him about good but light mods?.

 

[AceGoober]

I'm using Darker Nights on max darkness with True Storms: Wasteland Edition. Combined they make for excellent lighting effects. The storms are unbelievable. Rain feels real, the radiation storm blowing in from Glowing Sea is amazing and the sounds provided by True Storms are very immersive. Each mod provides several options to tailor the installation to suit the performance of the PC. I'm running every Fallout 4 setting on Ultra with Bokeh disabled to allow me to see clearly underwater.

To put things into perspective, as of this moment I've invested 1,471 hours into Fallout 4 and am currently on my 7th character. My mod storage folder is 84 GB and growing. I currently have 132 mods with 92 active plugins with 46 of those mods being texture replacers. I like my eye candy.

That look amazing man, what lighting mods are you using? those pics at night looks great.. are you using also a Darker Nights or similar? finally after 150+ hours of exploration (I always like to know the place first ) I've decided to start to let it go skyrim finally after how knows how amount of thousands of hours and put some dedicated time to FO4.

I have already started with Homemaker which are making to stay ridiculous amount of times re-building settlements but one of the mods of which I have kinda more let's say "passion" is with lighting and environmental details. that's why im asking you that..

also.. a more general question for every other user here.. I have performance to spare with my OC'd 980TI but that's no the case of my cousin that playing with me daily this game, he is using a good ol' R9 280X the performance of his game is actually pretty good with everything ultra except god rays which are turned down to low, so what could be some recommendations for him about good but light mods?.

If you are on your 7th character, can you tell me if it's possible to enter a couple console commands and suddenly unlock every location on the map (for quick travel)? If I start over, I don't want to have explore the whole map again and I couldn't care less about the XP.

To unlock all locations enter console and type "tmm 1" without the quotes.

Awesome. Thanks.


Two things I really want for my settlements.

1. Pets: I know there is a wandering wastelander guy that sells dogs that you meet in a random encounter. I've read about him, but never encountered him. Is there some way to ensure that encounter or spawn a dog? Can I get or spawn cats like those at Covenant or Abernathy Farm?
2. Tunnels/underground: Is this even remotely possible or would it be too game breaking by tearing out the ground?

1a. Wasteland Workshop has cat and dog traps. Normally takes a couple of days before one is in the trap.

1b. Best area I've found to run into the dog merchant is:

Spoiler: Dog Merchant

Over near Longneck Lukowski's Cannery.

2. Separate tunnel/cave worldspace would need to be created with an entry point placed into the existing world space. If you were to try to scrap terrain pieces all you'd see the empty void underneath with maybe a body of water far, far below. So, no tunnels or such until the GECK/CK is released.

EDIT: one other point to add...a tunnel/cave can be placed on top of an existing landscape without having to create a separate worldspace. You'd need to know how to use various software (such as NIFScope, graphics editors (Photoshop, GIMP) and other various software tools in order to create the tunnel/cave visioned. Taking on an endeavor as described could take several weeks depending upon the complexity of the user created assets.

It is possible to piece-male existing assets together without creating new assets yet at the current time it is a huge challenge since Bethesda's organization of file structure is a mess. Every terrain object you want to use would have to be tracked down then adapted fit the need/want. Even then, topside caves are limited in size as there is barely enough ceiling height to allow a PA equipped character to go through without clipping through the terrain.

I, too, want to create a good cave mod as it would fit very well with one of my previous characters. But until the GECK/CK is released and we can view the entire list of assets available, creating such a place would be challenging on several levels.

Thanks will be looking into it =D.

Damn CaptNumbNutz nice bar you got there.

One question: when Cait enters the ring, does she yell at her opponent, "I'm going to rip your lips off!"?

LOL. I need to test that theory. I wonder how I can get people to actually box rather than it being a simple decoration? I really want those animal cages because I want deathclaw/raider fights. That way I can force them to fight since they will be naturally aggro to each other.

1a. Wasteland Workshop has cat and dog traps. Normally takes a couple of days before one is in the trap.

I spent the better part of an hour last night going through my entire workshop looking for the animal traps. I will check the wiki link again for the exact list of Wasteland Workshop items that are new.

As of right now, the animal traps are the only thing missing from the workshop. I have a floor trap that looks like a shack floor. I have a few other human traps like saw blades and such. I've got large cages (simply labeled cage) and big enough for a couple humans, and I've got prison cells. What I've got isn't listed in the workshop DLC, so I believe it came from a mod. No deathclaw cages, no cat traps. Apparently there is some new "Beta Wave emitter" too that's supposed to tame the big animals? I didn't see that either.

Which section are they in?

FWIW, I did LOOT and let it sort automatically. The DLC plugin for workshop is activated in NMM, but automotron is not. If you want me to re-post my loot order, I will later tonight. I have not added any additional mods since I last posted it.

I also thought there were some neon signs in this DLC, at least according to the DLC advertisement from Bethesda (specifically the one showing Deathclaw fights).

 

[RW2112]

You should be seeing a "CAGES" section on the main Settlement level. If not then sounds like one of the mods is messing with it still. If you are running SK I'm guessing that is the culprit.

 

[AceGoober]

Install the Homemaker/WW compatibility patch and the cages will be on the main menu, far right.

I'd like to see your load order since LOOT doesn't cover every Fallout 4 mod as of this date.

Once the Homemaker/Wasteland Workshop compatibility patch is installed, neon lights are under Power ==> Lights ==> Neon

I knew I was forgetting something. Compatibility patch. I think I read something about it before. For some reason I thought NMM did that automatically.
How do I update it? Simple download from Nexus? Any info you got is great, my internet is limited here at work and I will check it out after 10pm tonight.

Wasteland Workshop/Homemaker/Settlement Keywords Compatibility Patch

Download then install with NMM. Place last in load order.

Edit: I'm on West Coast so take your time.

That did it. Took me a minute to figure out how to enable it, but everything works now.

Remembering the comics of his youth, Mr. Clark reminisces about a superhero by a similar name....Mr. Stark. He had a suit for every occasion and a robot butler.

Now, Mr. Clark just found the last few pieces to round out his collection...
Codsworth won't stop complaining about the renovations to the mansion. It's now 4 stories instead of 2, and he found the most efficient way to store "the collection".

The brotherhood made him turn against a friend, so he blew up the badyear blimp, hi-jacked one of their vertibirds and parked it on his roof as a prize.

The trade caravans keep whispering about the remains of a man pulled out of a deathclaw's gut on the edge of the glowing sea. The uniform was black and had a capital letter "E" on the chest. If he was traversing the glowing sea, he had to have come from another major city to the southwest. There's no way he would have lasted a day in the glowing sea without a suit. He must have ran out of fusion cores, and the deathclaw got the mercy kill. His suit must still be out there...

======

Okay, enough of the silly stories. Too little sleep and I've been playing way too much. Hopefully I will have screenshots of the Stark ....err I mean Clark Mansion this weekend.

 

[GOD'SlittleSERVANT]

Man, I wish they would come out with DLC every few months for this game. I love it, but have pretty much done everything there is to do. Ok, I lied. Not everything there is to do, but doing the same stuff over and over gets boring.
