Installing Fallout 4 High Physics FPS Fix mod

[copper vector]

Hello, I'm having trouble installing the High Physics FPS Fix mod for Fallout 4. I've tried everything but I'm really stuck.
Please would anyone be kind enough to arrange a 5 minute VC with me so I can share my screen and you can help make sure I'm not making mistakes.
Would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe @mellow vortex, you seem experienced with Fallout 4

word of advice pinging a bunch of people to help as I saw you were also doing in the making mods channel, will not make them more willing to help

moreso the opposite

double check you have all the requirements for high physics fps fix, that you're in borderless mode (iirc that is needed) and I think something needs to be done with vsync as well. There's instructions on the page

also double check that everything you have is for your version of fallout 4, as you haven't mentioned if you're on downgraded or next gen

[mellow vortex]

Did you get the version for your game?

[copper vector]

I'm on the latest Steam update for Fallout 4

[mellow vortex]

You need that one then

[copper vector]

Please would anyone be able to call me and help

[mellow vortex]

And make sure you got the requirments. F4SE and Address Library

I can't call right now though.

I have to do manual download because installing through mod manager does seemingly nothing

[mellow vortex]

What manager are you using?

[copper vector]

Do I have to install Vortex?

[mellow vortex]

You don't have a mod manager already?

Vortex or MO2.

[copper vector]

I couldn't see a link to install one

[mellow vortex]

You absolutely need one when modding any bethesda game

Get whichever suits your fancy. Vortex would be more hands-off and easier to get into. But I'd hesitate building big modlists with it unless you really understand vortex (That goes with anything, but especially vortex)

[copper vector]

I see, thanks, I'll install it now.

Clicking Fix prompts the failure again

[mellow vortex]

Ask in #🟧︱vortex

[copper vector]

Okay I've installed the necessary mods, but when launching the game through Vortex, the screen stays black (can hear audio)

[mellow vortex]

You don't have F4SE there

And the address library is .163. That's oldgen.

Get those files, remove everything else you have.

Pardon me for jumping in, but if you are new to adding mods to games, I recommend you check out the midnight ride guide. If you are just throwing in mods blindly without prerequisites or an understanding of why x,y,z to get things working, then you are in for lots of frustration, broken games, uninstall and reinstall. Might wanna put your patience hat on. I had to install and uninstall the game 7 times until I finally got mods working properly and a stable game even with midnight ride! What made it extra difficult for me was i was also new to nexus and pc gaming as a whole. Whats an .ini? 😅😅😅 I needed to learn how to walk before run. https://themidnightride.moddinglinked.com/setup.html

Oh, and if its not to late, or if you do end up starting from scratch again, I implore you to try mo2 instead of vortex. When I started modding, I started with vortex. It looked simple at the surface. But I quickly learned it's simplicity had tremendous drawbacks like no ability to just drag and drop your load order on the fly in the main interface. That, for me personally was unacceptable since I was use to drag and drop on bethesda xbox fallout 4 mod menu. Its thanks to this dude, I found the courage to tackle mo2 and it got me up and running. https://youtu.be/07-JVWDn7LA?si=6YkezM9hweZM2bz7

i appreciate the help but i literally just wanna play fallout 4 over 60fps

[rose cobalt]

Oh, I should also add that I am not the expert. Mzo is. But I still wanted to jump in to give feedback as someone who was freshly new only about a year ago but I have learned a lot since then. Sometimes when the long time experts give feedback, they tend to overlook beginner prerequisites. (I'm not thinking of anything in particular mzo 😆 I thank you for all your help)

When using ANY mod. Anyone would tell you its just makes more sense to use a mod manager. Unless you are playing on console, then there is no such thing.
High fps mod requires the Fallout 4 script extender (f4se) the script extender HAS to be launched via a mod manager. So with that, there are already a lot of prerequisites you must do beforehand. But if you follow the midnight ride and read it slowly and do step by step, you'll get it eventually. What I do now is I put a folder on my desktop
I name it "Fallout 4 prerequisites" and inside that, I download and place the crap like vc+++ , direct x, f4se, address plug-ins and all the pre required things that will always be needed prior. That way those things don't get mixed up in other Fallout 4 installation files in case I have to do an uninstall and reinstall because something didn't work.

[copper vector]

IT WORKS!

Buttery smooth!

Thanks so much for the help ^^

[copper vector]

I would find it odd if asking someone for help would make them less likely to help me.

I pinged MZO and he helped me just fine :)

[mellow vortex]

I helped because I just so happen to not mind random pings.

Many people do, even if they are active/help around. So there's still a chance pings devolve into unneeded arguments. Which nobody wants.

[mellow vortex]

I was actually eating at the time. I definitely overlooked something tbf

[grand scaffold]

which is very good but i saw that the making mods channel didn’t appreciate it as much, a lot of ppl in this server will get mad about random pings and as MZO said itll devolve in arguments
