use that mod or one like it, it works like a charm

[spring oyster]

I figured it would fit better here but how do the new weapons added with the next gen update stack up with everything else?

[red zealot]

I tried everything and still have the game endlessly loading i dont know whats the problem

If you did downgrade please any time tell me to call you and help me

I will open a share with you and tell me every step

[lunar willow]

okay, I can help you with that. I would say that endless loading is a different issue. If the CC was opening wrong, you'd have a CTD opening the game. So you're doling something right.

We just gotta find out why it's endlessly loading. I can't help right now but I added you as a friend and I can guide you through how I did it.

I'm looking for a mod that completley cleans Fairline hill estates. I did it myself on xbox and previs remained intact. Tried to do it myself on pc but I broke the previs. By "clean" I mean, replaces those borken houses to fully fixed versions from snappy and cleaned or even repaired the roads too. You'd think such a mod exists, but on nexus, I see next to nothing with fairline hills

[quaint reef]

Is that the one that has homes like Sanctuary, but Supermutants living there? Don't recall if that one had a workshop. Been a long time since I visited it.

Doing edits on vanilla settings like that is pretty much guaranteed to break something with distant LOD and Previs. Never minded that much myself, but you can generate that stuff for any changes in CK. The only real downside is that you can't isolate it very well

[amber mulch]

No that's Everett hills estates I think it's called. Fairline hills, is that small cul-de-sac neighborhood with the bear and ghoul chained behind the door. On Xbox, I had every scrap mod, and scrapped every house myself and where the houses stood, I placed down the fixed one piece version of the houses found in snappy housekit. I never had problems. With Conquest, I used that neighborhood as my holiday decorating neighborhood 😊 I decorated it for Halloween and Xmas entering in settlement building competitions on Facebook lol. I tried to scrap the area on pc, and like I said, I ended up breaking the previs after I had just finished 2-4 hours of scrapping, it broke right at the end. Don't know why it broke on pc and not xbox. But maybe that's why I cannot find such a mod. I do not know how to use creation club. Would be interesting though. I like how geekrage made a starlight settlement that had a basement below that parking lot. Crazy how that can be modified.

[shut seal]

Has anyone ever found a mod that cuts Vault 88 into 3 separate settlements? Vault, Drugstore, Subway.

[amber mulch]

I have seen such a mod. I know it exists, but I have only seen it once. Keep looking on nexus.

[pine fractal]

can some one make a multiplayer fallout 4 mod

[granite grail]

It would take long time to someone make multiplayer mod for fallout 4 if they are making it alone.

But it would be cool.

[olive vigil]

That’s called Fallout 76

[hot chasm]

Yall can anyone give me a console mod list for FO4?

[shell gorge]

What do you want to change about the game?

[hot chasm]

Well I want graphics to be nice lol so like all the series X optimization and weather/graphic mods and then whatever good armor and weapon expansions are around. I was looking realistic armaments but it looks like it’s not around anymore

[granite grail]

if you cant find it. make yourself. ive been now scrolling for 2h and trying to look for this mod and i cant find it. if you found it Can you link the mod for me?

[hollow arrow]

Does anyone know a mod I can use on PS5 to set quest stages for a quest I’m stuck on? Best I can find is Holotape of Quest-Fixing, but I’m not so luck to have my problem quest on there.

[amber mulch]

Has anyone seen a settlement mod that makes the slog completely barren? I need that building gone and only keep the pool. I really don't want to have to use scrap mods as I almost always break previs especially on PC.

[granite grail]

I tried yesterday find that mod but 0 results. im thinking i could just remove the whole building and deep clean the area in Cretion kit.

[amber mulch]

I have never used Creation Kit, but I have been watching videos on it latley. I might be brave enough to try soon. Might be tricky though as I am on GOG version. For now, I may have to temporarily install scrap mods, do my cleaning, save a blueprint as a mod, load it and then disable scrap mods. Would that work?

[granite grail]

it should work but im not 100% sure

[amber mulch]

I made this on xbox. Now I would like to rebuild it on PC and share on nexus. But I need that vanilla building gone.

[granite grail]

Looks nice

[amber mulch]

ty

[granite grail]

i made theslog ultimate deep clean. If you still need it i can give you the mod link.

[amber mulch]

Ah man! If only I had waited. I just looked it up. Yeah, that's exactly what I needed. I ended up just enabling scrap mods and did it myself. I just hope I don't break previs. I tried disabling scrap mods after I scraped the building but the structure came back. I'll just have to finish building, save and enable the blueprint and then disable scrap mods. Or however that goes.

So that's why I didn't find your mod initially. You have the slog as one word "theslog". I understand there are other mods of similar name but dang. I would have made the title different somehow like "The slog ultimate deep clean by Estonia" or numbers at the end. I dunno.

[signal shore]

Anyone know any way I can check what unique weapons are in America rising 2? And if not if anyone knows could you dm me a list I just switched to Xbox and I always hunt unique weapons

[crystal girder]

"Holotape of quest fixing "and another is just" holotape" by herami

[dawn ravine]

I just took a look at the plugin. It's not previs safe and doesn't rebuild them. The mod author probably isn't aware of current precombine/previs practices. :/

It also technically breaks DN154 (Arlen's quest that is tied to the terminal that got deleted)

[granite grail]

im aware of those. i was tired when i was doing that mod. I didint think anything about quests or particles. i will Fix all when i can,

[dawn ravine]

No worries man, I left a technical post on your mod's comments about the major issues before I left for family Christmas dinner. If you need help with the precombines side of things, I know a few articles that will help.

[amber mulch]

I'm not either. Can you please enlighten us? I had to turn scrap mods on and get rid of the building myself. Is my previs doomed? I scrapped the terminal, I do not care about that. I also used a npc eraser knife to get rid of every ghoul. Again, I do not care about them or their quests though.

Progress pics

[quaint reef]

You don't need to rebuild previs unless you make significant alterations to something that will or should be present in previs. I.e. If you remove the rocket on the red rocket and replace it with a giant clown

Previs is what you see from a distance. It has nothing to do with what you see when you are in the cell or even adjacent to it somewhere

Precombines are used in previs, but they are just an optimization locally, like a nif you make from an SCOL

[amber mulch]

This is what i built exactly over where the original building was

What is it called when you break ____ ___ and when you turn, everything starts glitching out invisible walls and stuff. That's what I'm trying to avoid

[quaint reef]

If you are putting little bunches of scrub or vines in a previs, or similar, by somehow turning them into objects which will be rendered in previs, you are going to de-optimize the game. That stuff shouldn't be in there

Turn the structure into a number of SCOL and create nifs from it

[amber mulch]

I did this exact build on Xbox, and luckily I didn't break anything er, I mean no invisible walls glitching around the world luckily. But pc seems to be extra sensitive.

[quaint reef]

Once you create the nifs, delete the structure and import them as statics

Turn the statics into a precombine

[amber mulch]

A what and how?

[quaint reef]

Then build previs on the cell it is in

Static collection

Select a group of objects making up part of the structure which use the same materials, or no more than 3 or 4 material groups optimally, and create a static collection, and create a nif from that

You need a common coordinate object for each SCOL for the origin

[amber mulch]

This is something to do in creation club i assume? I need to get my feet wet with that program

[amber mulch]

Makes sense

[quaint reef]

Last object selected creates the origin point for the SCOL and nif created from it

So something you toss under the ground with the same materials will work

That simplifies re-importing everything and placing it.

The thing with large objects however, is that they can be called until you can see the origin

*culled

[amber mulch]

You are gonna be my new best friend 😄 I do a lot of big builds. I need to do stuff you are talking about if I will be putting them on nexus

Can you recommend a good youtube video i can watch about creation club, getting started?

[quaint reef]

The precombine effectively optimizes it further, and creation previs will prevent you from seeing nothing at a distance, or something that was there that isn't anymore

Anything on Kinggath's mod tutorials, or all of them as you learn. Probably one of the best resources I've found

He covers SCOL and nif creation because it's all generally based on Sim Settlements

[amber mulch]

Awesome. I just looked it up and subscribed. Thank you soo much! It's nice to meet so many people here with soo much knowledge on this stuff

[quaint reef]

The popping in and out is generally just because you have so much stuff in the loaded area, and the game culls stuff as you move the camera around, so it will sometimes have to be reloaded into memory

That's why you use SCOL and create nifs, or one reason

[amber mulch]

Very interesting. Okie dokie. I have much homework to do and videos to watch. Thanks again for all the education and info. I hope we cross paths again. 🤙🤙

[quaint reef]

I actually set up an SCOL/Nif build mod so I can create a build layer and move stuff to it, then delete and build on it as needed without worrying about breaking anything

Makes it much more efficient when you can hide the default layer, which most stuff is built on, and just work in a clean layer while keeping stuff that you need present for layout

Once the nif are created you can rename them, put them in an appropriately named folder in meshes, and import them as statics and place them in your mod, on the appropriate layers without breaking anything. It's much cleaner, but you still need to navmesh, (SCOL can't be navmeshed, but static nif can), and build anything else the mod needs after

Given how involved building can get, I just find it greatly simplifies the process.

[hollow arrow]

Thanks. I’ll look for Holotape

[outer fog]

Anyone know some good weather mods that include snow for console?

[signal shore]

Just got a legendary FN-P90 from combined arms with a insane legendary effect (20% chance to cripple) it’s ggs

[crystal girder]

UCW for weather.
Simple seasons for snow.

[fierce perch]

Can someone help me with this I need to generate an enemy with hotkey and configure to generate different enemies

[modern elbow]

Bleak

[outer fog]

Thank you

[zinc jetty]

hi, my Materials folder is missing on my Fallout 4 directory folder, what do i do? do i need to create it? i already enable the show hidden items option on the view tab

[buoyant wolf]

That should only be needed for loose files and should be added by any mod that is using it.

If it's not there you should be fine.

[zinc jetty]

Thanks, sorry to bother again, i have another problem, my creation is not launching, it pop up an error window

[zinc jetty]

i downgraded fallout 4

[buoyant wolf]

Sounds like you probably have a version mismatch for that file after downgrading. There's a way to downgrade the CK as well, I'd look into that.

[zinc jetty]

thank you, I appreciate it

[quaint reef]

Almost finished my first big settlement mod for Abernathy farm.

New structure, expanded build area, a few other additions and changes, and new navmesh and req. Scrap lists for some new build areas

Probably close to 100 hours in, lost count at this point

Almost 30 hours in navmeshing alone 😄

[dapper orbit]

Sorry to disturb, but I'm new to ESLify
Is it true that all esp can be be eslified?
Everytime i make the process, it's always the same esp
Thanks

[honest merlin]

The new ESL appears in your data folder, next to the esp. It will not replace the esp.

[dapper orbit]

Everytime i load the ESLify, only some of the esp shows that can be elsfied Despite my other 300> mods

[nimble shale]

Guys

3 weeks and minvera will have T-65 -BOS Minigun paint & more!

[wild pine]

Out of curiosity how hard would it be to add snap points or just a version of engines that would snap in a angle

[upper edge]

I modded my fallout for ultra wide 3440 x 1440 and I have this ui issue, I feel like it’s a common issue so I asked here to see if anyone knows a fix. any help is appreciated.

[zinc tartan]

I would just like an Arkham Knight Scarecrow Costume mod for Xbox, plenty of others want this, the Hallucinagen grenades are an indication that this’ll work

[hard fractal]

Hello guys, anyone knows that why my textures render so differently in substance painter and in game (no enb)?

In substance painter they are not saturated but in game they are extremely bright and saturated

The speculat and glossiness maps are almost 0 so I don’t think it is because of speculation maps

[crystal girder]

Raider sack helmet and ragged underarmor, Hallucinating grenades, nuka world grenades, syringer with frenzy /fear darts.

[zinc tartan]

Hells I’d take the Mothman cultist armor, just something better than the Raider stuff

[quaint reef]

Substance painter is great, but the game uses a different render engine, so you're going to get different results

When you build the mats in CK, you can tweak them to look better in game.

I did that with a bmp 2 material I made using the suns surface and it honestly looked really good after

But it takes some work. I had to play with emissivity, and tune the various roughness settings to get the result I was looking for

Basically, you want to assign the materials in nifskope through strings, or set them up as skins, then build the materials using CK material editor and your rough, color, metal, etc... dds files.

I looked at substance designer briefly, (I have the old version), and realized it wasn't going to be of much use, but b2m and painter can be used effectively with the CK editor

Also, paint.net and irfanview are pretty useful

[hard fractal]

thanks for response

[bitter dune]

How would I change the size of this? My screen is way too small to fit the whole thing

[quaint reef]

Generally resolution based, so if you have a low screen resolution it might look like that.

Some wi dows can't be resized unfortunately

[bitter dune]

So what I’m hearing is theres no way to access any of the other options

[warped quarry]

Anyone here actively play with Sim Settlements

[tranquil cargo]

does anyone have a link for the ak400 2.0 mod by FX0x01

[calm mountain]

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/36873?tab=files&file_id=224893

embed says unavailable 🚬 im not logged in so i cant check

[tranquil cargo]

thanks

[hybrid salmon]

what is REFramework esp

[dawn ravine]

I've never heard of it as a plugin, but a brief google search would suggest it's a modding framework for other titles that aren't supported in the BGS server (examples being Monster Hunter Rise)

[split yarrow]

Perhaps Random Encounter Framework? Isn't that the one Glitchfinder made?

[quaint reef]

If you have Windows 11 you might be able to adjust it through the text scaling.

I would sort of expect, if your laptop has the ability to load and run the CK, it should have a higher resolution display too.

What are you using for your desktop resolution?

[bitter dune]

Highest resolution I have is 1920x1080

Okay I just really had to set the scale to 100 instead of 150

[quaint reef]

Yep, that will do it

[bitter dune]

Thanks, Im good when I’m doing something I’ve done before but fixes and stuff when I go in blind, I’m stupid as all hell 😭

Thanks man, btw 💀

Mabey now I can make just a bit of progress

My PC is still weak as hell and CK keeps trying to crash when I open up the World

[zinc tartan]

Can someone port this to Xbox?

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/images/189656

[bitter dune]

Scarecrow in Fo4?

I’d use a mod that lets you stack armors on top of each other

[zinc tartan]

I and many others want scarier

[bitter dune]

Thats fair. I know theres a good atosphere mod that you can adjust the setting so you can make the Commonwealth a Horror Game

Theres a couple of mods that work really well together

This is a good one for ambience

[dawn ravine]

Right, forgot about that one.

[honest merlin]

No need to ask if you can ask a question. What's your trouble?

[hybrid salmon]

How do you get buffout 4 to work

[bitter dune]

Coming back to this, the Hunter Hood and the Sack Hood for the head

As for the Body- dunno. Experiment.

[zinc tartan]

Anyone know of Xbox mods that let you wear multiple outfits? I’m trying to get the Sack hood and Hunter’s hood on at the same time

Also For some reason the Mercenary mod isn’t working/not letting me download it on Xbox

[mossy whale]

Can anybody help me with? My game just stopped read any mods... I recently reinstall all mods using freshly installed Vortex... all mods are in and I can't continue playing which I stopped 8 months ago (last save).

i used mod organiser 2 instead of vortex and it worked

[surreal wadi]

Get a load of this doohickey! A bolt action, mag fed, closed cylinder, internally revolving rifle - The Cycling Rifle! Rat Runners have really gone above and beyond with this one, mashing together a bunch of parts until it eventually all clicked together to create a franken gun. Enjoy!

[cyan obsidian]

Yo for the Xbox I downloaded the Jetpack ring mod but I can’t seem to find where it’s at, any help

[calm glen]

There are various mods that add a "jetpack ring" which one specifically are you using? What is the author's username?

[crystal girder]

It can usually be crafted in the chemistry or cooking workbench... Also read the mod description.

[crystal girder]

Looks like something from metro

[amber mulch]

The one that I use is in a lunch pail at the red rocket by sanctuary

[main mist]

@split yarrow - saw your post on AFKnet about pulling UFO4P from PS.
Unfortunately due to BGS very bad error handling in their mod manager client, any missing mod causes their mod manager to crash. Is there any chance you could upload a "No Op" dummy mod that just says "Delete me!"? This would allow PS users with UFO4P installed to regain access to the mod manager. Thanks in advance if you are able to do this...

[main mist]

Sounds like LBGSHI's

[main mist]

You might have better response on the SS forums. I gather those are quite busy?

[main mist]

Lot of people have this problem including me. One tip is to get a 3rd party drag widget so you can drag to the areas you need to get to in the non resizable windows. I have one, its called AltWindowDrag

[bitter dune]

I got it fixed now, I just set my Screen scale down to 100 instead of 150

[pseudo rock]

anyone know what happend to vortex?

[fossil nebula]

There are very few good mods on Playstation 4 that don't have travel weapons, clothes and dog armor, but so far it sucks

[main mist]

?

There's over 5000 PS4 mods for FO4. How many have you tried? Start with the most popular 100 maybe?

[lunar willow]

does anyone play Sim Settlements 2? I just got to the paret where I can assign mayors, and my mayor is not building buildings or food or anything and people are complaining.

What can I do to fix that?

[calm glen]

probably best to ask in the sim settlements discord instead, you will probably get better help there

[lunar willow]

the SS2 discord is patreon only iirc. I can't get in unless I'm paying.

[heavy fossil]

Is anyone's mods playing up? Mine won't work for some reason and I need help. It keeps telling me that the operation couldn't be completed

[calm glen]

if you can’t access the mods menu at all, clear your reserved space. this is caused by having a mod in your load order that was removed from bethesda.net

if you’re just trying to download a specific mod but it keeps kicking you out with the operation error, this is because the images on the mod page were corrupted by the next gen update

[verbal shore]

Is modding still scuffed on Xbox since the Series X upgrade?

[calm glen]

depends what exactly you mean by scuffed

[proud shell]

When I want to install mods for fallout I only get the message the operation could not be completed

[vivid oasis]

What platform are you on?

[proud shell]

Xbox series x

[vivid oasis]

We have an article on this here: https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/44123

[modern wren]

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but... does anyone know if the Shi paint schemes from Creation Club is going to be re-released?

[amber mulch]

I'm doing a vanilla playthrough because with just a few mods, my load in time takes about 20 minutes. Unacceptable. I have pc pre next gen, but I don't know how to get shading to look as good as xbox.

[calm glen]

this has to be an exaggeration - i have a near 150 mod load order and don't experience load times anything close to this

[spring rune]

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/90744

[amber mulch]

On Xbox? It could be types of mods and I broke previs with scrap mods. Next gen update did not like that. But it all worked just fine before next gen update. It was a "stable save" for about 2 years.

[calm glen]

That makes more sense. Breaking previs and all precombines is just too much for the game at a certain point. It’s always a shame to see a save go.

[vale sand]

Someone (newermind43) is recreating the equalizer in fallout 4

[main mist]

Is anyone else getting Creation Kit going into an endless loop at startup? Says Initialising Archive or Initialising FaceGen. For hours, CPU bound.
It is a known issue historically but no cause is given in what I found. The fixes are to run CK from Steam, and do file integrity checks on both CK and FO4. No effect.
I am on latest versions (NextGen) for both. Any ideas? My next step is uninstall / reinstall CK.

[main mist]

It's been fine since NextGen, I have done dozens of mod updates since then with no problems until the last 2 days.

[calm glen]

working fine for me although i am using CKPE instead of the official CK

[main mist]

good to know, thanks. I will reinstall.

[verbal crystal]

Any1 have good mods to make it more like dayz/project zomboid like?

[maiden needle]

Hello all. Anyone know if Vivid Fallout AIO compatible with Whispering Hills? If it is, do i put WH before or after vivid?

[deep fiber]

hey im new here and i had a couple questions about the creation kit, i cant get it to run through steam and the only thing i could think of is maybe it wont run since my fallout 4 isnt downloaded trough steam but through Xbox gamepass for PC, any tips on how to get it to work without buying the whole game off steam?

[honest merlin]

buy the whole game off steam

[deep fiber]

Dang worth a shot ig 🤷‍♀️

[hardy wraith]

Anyone got mod recommendations for me i'm Xbox

@ me and i'll lyk if i got it

[neon dust]

Thought about getting back into FO4, but there are rumors about NPC-edit mods and UFO4P are unsafe to use post-NG update. If used, about 5 days into gaming, your save is completely unplayable. Any truth to that?

I usually go with Orphans of the commonwealth and some other mods to get the settlers to be not so generic, like Better settlers.

[calm glen]

mods that alter NPC records will cause pretty nasty stuttering due to a bug that Bethesda created in the next gen update. UFO4P is one of many mods that unfortunately suffer from this game bug.

[neon dust]

Well damn. Guess I am off to other games then.

Found a mod on nexus that help PC-players; X-Cell.

It will however no be ported to Bethesda.net so console will be screwed until Beth patches it.

[split yarrow]

The magnitude of the problem has been greatly exaggerated and there's a lot of disinformation going around about various mods being "unsafe" to use with the NG update. Don't let reddit drama influence things.
There is especially no truth to any claim that UFO4P in particular will destroy your game after 5 days. Whoever is making these claims that mods have some kind of ticking time bomb in them is flat out wrong.

[verbal turtle]

Anyone know how to fix Material Swaps after the NG update? I'm pretty stumped, and I'm guessing if they're not outright broken, I must be overlooking something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[median bay]

X-cell + pre generated face gen files and it’s a non issue.

I know midnight ride dropped x-cell as it’s such a minor issue in base game and it maybe had some other issues.

[vale sand]

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/90881?tab=description ITS OUT

[quaint reef]

Can have. Any script heavy mod has the potential to contain scripts which can destroy your save over time, but generally speaking, most mods which have been well tested probably don't

I know of at least one Starfield Mod that almost certainly does, but I've never posted which as I haven't actually tested it to find out.

I do know from playing with the same sort of script heavy mods in X3 that it's very likely, as that was a problem there, though admittedly one that could be overcome

X3 had a feature in game that allowed you to adjust the scripts iirc, which made it possible to fix issues while playing.

It has been quite awhile since I played that, but I recall it being fairly simple to access scripts and make adjustments or even stop them.

[split yarrow]

"Script Heavy" is an urban myth. Your script performance in this game, as well as Starfield and Skyrim, is governed by your frame rate. The more frame heavy things you install (like 4K everything packs etc) the more the system will slow down and in turn that affects anything dependent on that. Like the Papyrus VM.

If this heaviness was an actual thing then every vanilla game would be hopelessly unplayable because they all contain orders of magnitude more scrips than any mod ever will.

[dawn ravine]

If I recall, it was dropped in response to edge case crashes that I don't know if they were ever resolved.

[quaint reef]

Vanilla games are optimized to perform with the scripts they have.

The problem is when scripts are adding a bunch of stuff to the game continuously, increasing AI activity, and constantly polling. That's what I mean by script heavy

They basically add 2-3 times the AI load on top of constantly updating and adding other stuff

But, when I refer to those which can cause issues with saves, I'm referring to those which are written in such a way that they cause save file bloating

[restive zenith]

On Xbox if I move to another console with my saves set to sync, will my mods move over or do I need to reinstall them all?

[proven lodge]

So i uploaded a mod to Bethesda.net in 2020 and i thought i had it set up to be available for xbox and pc but apparently its not and its only available on pc how can i fix this and make it available on xbox aswell?

Mod in question:

https://mods.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/mod-detail/4180041

[split yarrow]

Currently for Fallout 4 you'll need to upload a separate entry for it on XBox. The ability to combine releases onto the same page only exists in the new menus for Skyrim and Starfield.

[proven lodge]

So i have to re-upload and specify xbox only?

[split yarrow]

Yes.

[restive zenith]

On console is the concensus to loading a new save from modded to slightly less modded that it is a guaranteed crash?

And that I should save ASAP when loading in ans then exit as so it has a new save without the junk data?

[calm glen]

i’ve never ran into that issue or heard of anyone doing that

[silver finch]

What would need to be done to fix up the amaw randomizer so it works for all weapons

[neon dust]

If you say so, I am going all in. Your mods are the backbone of all my Skyrim/FO4 LO's. Thank you for your hard work sir.

[south magnet]

Question for those who played Fallout London:
Do you see holstered weapons like in most bethesda games or is it like fallout 4 where you don't see it?

[quick sigil]

what does this mean?

[main mist]

With this FaceGen stuttering issue in NextGen, I get that we are advised to make no edits to NPCs, even purely non-visual. Is it a viable approach to make a copy of a (non unique) NPC form and edit the copy? Does that eliminate the problem? Or does it at least contain the problem to just the copy NPC, rather than the base NPC it was copied from?

@split yarrow could you please upload a "no op" mod to Bethesda.net, on the same modID as UFO4P, just a banner saying "no longer available"?
Because of how brittle the error handling is on the in-game mod manager, the Mod menu crashes on start for any PS users who have UFO4P in their load order. The only way for end users to fix this is a full redownload and reinstall of the game. So you would be helping a LOT of people who have installed UFO4P over the years if you could put up some kind of stub mod.

Maybe if you have deleted the mod on Beth.net you no longer have access to upload to that modID?

[split yarrow]

Uploading such a thing would have the same effect. It would break the game. I'm not unsympathetic to the consequences of our decision, but there's nothing we could do to mitigate that now.

[main mist]

Oh ok.

Is there a dependency on a file length or a checksum or something?

I am surprised by that as normally making an update to a mod does not break the mod manager - missing files or missing mods seem to be what break the in-game mod manager. But you know how this all works better than anybody.

What about a mod that was not a total NOOP but contained nothing except an LSCR saying "please uninstall UFO4P, so long and thanks for all the fish"?

[split yarrow]

Making an update to a mod while stripping all of its functionality out of it WOULD break things. Badly. So it was either that or just delete it entirely so that nobody else ended up downloading it.
If Sony would have just gotten rid of their stupid restrictions this wouldn't even be an issue, but it's because of those that we were unable to continue support for it. It's quite infuriating to constantly be told some fix you put in simply refuses to take because of it.

[hot chasm]

I wish there was a fresh start mod for FO4 where you are an infantry soldier for a faction of choice, and you have a squad and objectives, new quests to retrieve stuff or clear locations...

Like CoD with fallout factions.

It could also make factions feel like real militaries, or you could be in charge and coordinate the progression, expansion, and conquest of your faction!

Just dreams...

[quaint reef]

Sim Settlements 2 does something like that. Normal game start, but there's a series of quests that lead to a war between factions with Alliances and heading up the allied factions

[hot chasm]

I'll give that a look, but I mean like the base game's events have happened and you are just a random soldier...

With varying armaments based on a choice and much like 76's survival aspect, where you have difficulty authority with a low concern for food, hydration and rest but it's still important, and if you fail that can affect the rest of the campaign afterwards...

[amber ember]

Can anyone help me figure out why the heck this guy keeps looping this animation mid patrol? I've been trying to fix it all morning

it is literally just with the AnimFurn-Peek That its happening with.

[torpid vapor]

I need help, desperately, I can't download the CROSS Fireworks Launcher on Xbox, looking at the mod IMMEDIATELY sends me back to the main menu with the "operation could not be completed" message. I have no idea what to do, it's stuck in my library now and it's not even downloaded. I'm gonna have a conniption

[amber ember]

omg Dyno let me be excited

I F.N. did it. If I do say so myself.

Now it just needs POLISH

[torpid vapor]

Please someone help ;°^°;

[amber ember]

link mod

I can give it a shot 🤷‍♂️ but no promises

[torpid vapor]

https://mods.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/mod-detail/913027

It IMMEDIATELY sends you back to the main menu for no reason, idk why. It's driving me mad

Xbox is so boned-

[amber ember]

Basic troubleshoot btw:

• revert back to a save previous to having the mod installed
• re-install the mod to uninstall it properly (a. if it has that option) (b. its more unsophisticated but you can also grab any components from the mod, fast travel to a corner of the map > drop everything there > fast travel to the opposite corner of the map > uninstall the mod.)
• (ADV) manually reupload the mod

[amber ember]

wdym by looking at the mod IMMEDIATELY sends me back to the main menu with the "operation could not be completed" message.

[torpid vapor]

I mean exactly that, you go into mods, look up the mod, and as soon as you click on it to try and download it, it sends you back to the main menu with that message

[amber ember]

you could also be missing dependencies like Nuka-World or some other mod community resource like AWKR

[torpid vapor]

Oh no, that's not it

[amber ember]

hmmm you could also have reached your maximum mod limit. Console has a hard GB limit to mods you can download.

[torpid vapor]

Nope, no other mods downloaded

Watch

[amber ember]

uhh my last guess would be that maybe you aren't appropriately logged in to Bethesda.Net.

Besides that I would need to start seeing what you see like Screenshots, Clips, Error Logs, etc.

[amber ember]

🤌

[torpid vapor]

I can't even download the mod, not to mention I've logged out and back in over and over

[amber ember]

It was last updated 2017. Do any other CROSS mods do that?

[torpid vapor]

I can download other mods just fine, but this one and a few others kick me out the same way

Another one is Fort Abernathy

https://mods.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/mod-detail/4106765

The weird part is if you're fast enough you can press the download button, it'll start downloading and then kick you out

See now why I'm having a mental breakdown?

[amber ember]

I'd hate to risk your saves, do you have any way of backing up your save data?

You could try a fresh install of fallout. I think these may just be out of date. That is my final call, other than that I am not as familiar with the console scene.

[torpid vapor]

Oh, I just deleted all my saves. I literally wiped all data for the game and I'm redownloading it right now

[amber ember]

I'd need to see error logs at this point but I don't know how to see them for console and I don't have any more answers. Welcome to the modding community, now have fun debugging your mod list.

It seems you're doing everything right afaik, it may not be your end that contains the error.

[torpid vapor]

Yeah, the problem might be on Bethesda's end. I mean I have no mods downloaded, no saves, nothing at all

Ever since they released the next gen update, the game's been ruined

[calm glen]

the images on the mod page were corrupted due to the next gen update and need replacing

nothing you can do about it unfortunately it’s up to the author to fix them

[torpid vapor]

I see, well I sent a message to the author about it

[fossil tide]

Is there a mod that lets me open and close all vault doors?

[spring rune]

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/91034

[main mist]

This is a common problem. Really this error message is so generic it is almost useless. Some of the common causes of this error message are:

• a mod in your mod list has been removed or its main image is broken/missing (error occurs before mod manager displays anything)
• one of the images in the mod is broken (error occurs after starting the mod manager, when browsing/looking at that mod)
• a specific XBox error to do with... some technical XBox specifics, "reserved space" or whatever, IDK Xbox
• just a generic transient failure, either Bethesda servers are busy, or your internet connection is flaky
  -- for this last one a good diagnostic is: can you get to Creation Club? If you can get to Creation Club fine, but not to Mods, then it's not a connection error, password error, etc.

[amber ember]

Its essentially just because of the updates; The mod was last updated 2017 and the game was updated as recently as May 2024. If you got the bells to download it on PC you can jingle it to Bethesda.Net (privately) and download it to your xbox so you can jangle it into your game.

[amber ember]

how to make this pitch black 🤔

someone please help me, I've changed all the settings google has to offer :D

[honest merlin]

Cell view / right click, edit / lighting

[compact spindle]

Quick question: is it just me or are a lot more mods availebel on Ps5 all of the sudden, its almost like sony is allowing more mods.

[calm glen]

just a coincidence - they still restrict the mods on there to plugins only

[rugged hinge]

Guys need help with fallout 4 VR. im trying to install the Unofficial patch from nexus mods the the vr version. i followed the instructions copied the dls files from the nect gen update. but nexus mod manager doesnt see the files.

[quick sigil]

Any updated mod that allows you to swap weapons legendary effects to another? the legendary rearmed mod doesnt work. i want to put the explosive effect on my combat shotgun instead of bolt action pipe pistol

[calm glen]

Legendary Effect Overhaul?

[olive vigil]

Like?

[bitter dune]

Low-key, kinda wanna jailbreak my Xbox so I can mod the tits off of Fallout 4

[keen vigil]

Jailbreaking an Xbox wouldn’t help FO4 modding.

[glad vault]

You'd have to get a PC to mod fallout super crazy

I don't see how you could do anything to the Xbox to go over the 2gb limit

[amber ember]

ah yeah I did that still came out like that though

I was hoping to make it like true dark levels of dark

[silver flame]

Hi all, I don’t know if anyone can help me, I have created a custom outfit. But when I try to export to Bethesda for Xbox It loads to 60% and then says the mod was created but the file failed to upload. I am logged in to Bethesda and I have tried to change the description and everything

I don’t know if anyone can help

[amber ember]

Post screenshots of errors :v (no guarantee but I can look)

[silver flame]

Here you go

[calm glen]

uploading mods with archives to bethesda.net has been broken for a few weeks now

nope

Ok thank you

[main mist]

Here's a tip for others, a trap I fell into that wasted me a few days of work.
Standard precedence hierarchy of packages is Scene > Alias > Actor > Default.
I was deploying packages on the Alias and then in desperation on the Actor but only the Scene packages were ever working.
It turns out on the Scene data there is a thing called Actor Flags, and if you open that up one of the flags is called Allow Scene Packages Only, and for some reason that was set on my actor. Apparently set by default because I do not remember touching it.

[winged breach]

so like I have buffout 4, x-cell and high fps fix installed but still get random slow loading times do I have to edit the ini file or something?

[compact spindle]

is there any good mod that makes the low poly versions of buildings go away becuase its pissing me of that im standing in graygarden and the corvega building wich is pretty close is so big that i can see the bad low poly version from the bridge and it just looks bad.

[hot chasm]

just regenerate your LOD using xlodgen and other tools

[compact spindle]

Oh okqy thank you

[olive vigil]

So, I’m on Xbox and can’t login to mods? Says this action cannot be completed

[vivid oasis]

We have an article with some troubleshooting for this here: https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/44123

[quaint reef]

You don't actually need to do that. Doesn't really do much anyway.

What you need to do is remove the ambient lights in the cell, because they are what light the space. In game, it's just black without them, unless the cell was set up to use exterior lighting somehow

Though, to be honest, having an absolute black interior cell is kind of trash

It doesn't look good or make sense. It's just black screen until you turn on a flashlight, and then you have an absence of realistic illumination

Your real light would bounce and have a much greater falloff, which is what ambient light is meant to simulate or 'mask'

Nothing is ever truly black, short of sticking your self in a completely closed space with no illumination anywhere

Even then, it's not really black because there is still infrared

Either way, it doesn't really work when you are looking at a monitor anyway. It just looks like your monitor was turned off

Lighting is tricky. You have to find the right, non specular light, adjust radius, falloff, and tint, and make it fit the space so it gives it very minimal illumination, without creating edges, or visible radius to the light, because ambient shouldn't have a visible source.

Then you work with visible lighting to illuminate the space, ased on light positions and strength, and finally, you add various non specular lights to increase ambient light with tinting and such to fit glows and various other emitters in the environment

When you're done, it shouldn't really be obvious where a light is coming from unless it has a visible source, and there should be varying degrees of illumination based on the strength of the visible sources, essentially diminishing the further you get from bright light sources

[amber ember]

I haven't finished seeing up the lighting, partly because I'm learning as i go, ideally it was supposed to be pitch black because we are in a vault and i wanted players to see things in a specific order without the help of a "night light".

Tbh in irl, i know what you mean because i tend to walk around at night thanks to the little leds on my devices like the ones in my TV or my speakers but id still prefer to make it darker than what it is now.

True dark was just an example of how dark i wanted it, i was still going to leave a "squints" worth of ambient light

[quaint reef]

I tried to do something like that too. It requires more ambient light sources though, because the strength of those sources is tied to the radius

So about 4 times what would need for just a bit more light

[marsh sonnet]

Day One of trying to ask Bethesda to fix the Noir Penthouse add-on for Fallout 4

[candid pike]

If it’s in creation club and not mods you might get a response. (I highly doubt it tho fallout 4 is a game that isn’t getting updates if any anymore)

[marsh sonnet]

It is creation club. I’m angry because I paid actual money for it, and it’s completely broken. Most of the walls and floors are missing, and so is the ceiling. I thought it was just a temporary issue at first. I closed out of the game and came back in, still a problem. I tried loading a prior save, that didn’t work. And I play on console, so that’s all I could do aside from deleting the game entirely and trying again. I wouldn’t be asking if they hadn’t gone out of their way to release a “next gen” update 9 years after the games release that only served to make the game worse.

[restive zenith]

Anyone else on Xbox unable to access the mods menu?

[lusty thorn]

They'll probably do an Anniversary update this year and break the game even more.

[proud shell]

Yeah I can't didn't I didn't bother trying to fix it myself since it probably won't get an update

[calm glen]

Clear your reserved space for Fallout 4 - you likely have a mod in your load order that was removed from Bethesda.net. You will need to redownload all of your mods again if you do this.

[calm glen]

Read above ^

[restive zenith]

That'd make sense

[dawn ravine]

It's actually a known issue that Bethesda is aware of, as far as I know. I should whip up a mod hotfix for it at some point once the console mod upload problem is patched.

[calm glen]

The uploading issue was resolved at some point yesterday :)

[marsh sonnet]

Wait really? This issue is getting fixed, like actually?

[proud shell]

Wait really

[calm glen]

i’ve had smooth uploads so far

[proud shell]

Yeah I installed the games open the mod stuff and last time I tried I got kicked out right away but this time nothing happened

[worldly nest]

Hey everyone, I'm new with using the creation kit for FO4. Ran into my first issue with the editor when I tried to compile with Papyrus. Here's the following error message:
" Papyrus Compiler Version 2.8.0.4 for Fallout 4
Copyright (C) ZeniMax Media. All rights reserved.
Failed to read project file "C:/Users/(name)/AppData/Local/Temp/PapyrusTemp/EditorBuildTemp.ppj": Configuration system failed to initialize "
I have attempted checking the integrity of the files after deleting said file on steam, have also attempted running CK as an administrator, nothing has worked and it seems like I haven't found my specific issue online yet. Could it be something with my system? Please let me know. Thank you in advance

[honest merlin]

Did you unpack the scripts?

[worldly nest]

im quite confident that I did, yes

[hot chasm]

what causes textures to disappear when you walk up to them in game?

[vale sand]

captains 76 paint recreation pack is fantastic

[vale sand]

what mod are you using?

[hot chasm]

i found out it was Lucy's Backpack mod. because i'm also using PrP.

is there a way to have mods that add new items to the world without it breaking precombines

[tranquil cargo]

hey does anyone have a link to the military combat armor mod made by deathmessenger6

[dawn ravine]

By ordering them before PRP's main plugin.

[hot chasm]

thank you

[dawn ravine]

The thing to remember about pre combine patches is that the information is stored in the cell headers, so, since prp.esp covers like 98% of them, load low.

[hot chasm]

so i'd want it towards the bottom. do i want it dead last or is this good

[dawn ravine]

Wait what's this about custom collisions

Also, I speak in terms of load order (right side in MO2)

[flint grotto]

Anyone know some good fallout horror quest mods for xb1?

[ornate iron]

Hi. I am on XBox Series X and I have a slight problem. I am playing with mods (no graphics mods. Only adding a bit, settlement mods or texture mods.).
I am experiencing lag, but only every 11-12 seconds and only at the red rocket truck stop. I have really no idea, what could cause this. I deactivated all mods and it worked fine. After installing only Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch, it started lagging again (and testing single mods that don’t do anything drastic). The lags appear when I fast travel to RR. When I fast travel to sanctuary and walk to RR it works just fine, but when I use a workbench or anything, it starts lagging again. I will provide some footage and my load order. Maybe someone can help me, cause I am to tired and don’t know how to progress at this point. Thank you in advance 🙂 ❤️

[amber ember]

Press Ctrl Alt Esc and monitor your performance/resources

Pshhh xbone whoopsie

[worldly nest]

sorry to repeat myself, but anybody got a clue on how to help??

[ornate iron]

I could try adding a keyboard to my Console

[quaint reef]

Precombines don't break unless someone changes the vis or allows you to delete something, or deletes something and doesn't find a way to fix them

[hot chasm]

or the load order is wrong. which is what my problem was

[quaint reef]

VIS is set up so, if you enter a space where a permanent object existed but doesn't the vis doesn't exist for that space, on one hand

On the other, it's calculated off existing world spaces, and when someone rebuilds vis it can completely break it, causing entire structures to disappear because they are no longer incl.

[quaint reef]

Load order will only fix it if the overwriting mod overwrites what is broken

Obviously.yours does, which is good

Honestly, the whole thing is kind of awkward for modding, the way they set it up

Be nice if they would replace it in the next game

[quaint reef]

Actually, I think they probably did change it for Starfield. They rewrote the rendering module in the engine iirc, and I don't think the way it is set up in FO4 would even work in SF

I also don't recall seeing it in SF CK, but I didn't do a lot with locations when I was using it

[dawn ravine]

Any Noir Penthouse owners on XB1 that I can pass a beta mod link to here in a bit?

[dawn ravine]

@marsh sonnet Are you still around by chance?

[marsh sonnet]

Yeah but honestly, I just want it fixed out of principal at this point. I haven’t been playing much fallout 4 recently, but a lot of people spent money on it. So as long as it has a fix, I’m happy

[dawn ravine]

I'm literally packing the fix right now, I just don't have the CC on XB1

[marsh sonnet]

Well then I’m glad someone is doing something about it, even if it’s not someone from the dev team. Thank you

[dawn ravine]

https://mods.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/mod-detail/4370193 <- Try that (about 700KB for anyone else reading) and see if there's any issues with the interior.

[marsh sonnet]

I don’t have my discord account connected to my Xbox account, so there’s nothing I can do with this link. But like I said, I’m thankful that someone fixed it and that I wasn’t just waving a sign at a void. Your work here is appreciated

[dawn ravine]

Then search for Noir Penthouse Precombine in the mods UI

Noir Penthouse Precombine Repair Kit is the title I went with

[marsh sonnet]

Maybe I will, thanks

[dawn ravine]

Those of you with the CC on PC, the equivalent mod is newly uploaded under PRP's optionals

[rotund pebble]

Hi, I'm playing Fallout 4 on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC with the next gen update installed and nearly all creations installed.

I saw that mods was taken down a little while ago but brought online shortly after.

I cannot for the life of me access mods on either of my platforms. Anyone know what's going on?

[compact spindle]

Quick question: i been using USO for the past year to build all of my settelments but is there a mod that adds fresh and new settelment objects that add to the post-apocaliptyc vibe... so things like scrappy tables and furniture or defenses

[rotund pebble]

There is, but since I can't look myself due to the mods tab not working for any of my platforms, I cannot remember the name of the mods themselves.
BUT!
Put in "Settlement" in search and most likely it will pop up. Junkwall for one or junk settlement search may help too.

[compact spindle]

thanks

and i had the same problem but i just had to switch the versions from the ps5 version to the ps4 version of the game

[brisk canyon]

yo ive added some mods mid playtrough and they dont work is that normal or i just need to do something?

[sturdy hatch]

Which mods?

[brisk canyon]

railroad armor and gun paint

[sturdy hatch]

Does it say they are active?

[brisk canyon]

idk

i think so

[sturdy hatch]

Restart your game and load back in

[brisk canyon]

il try it and update you

[sturdy hatch]

Alr

[calm glen]

You likely have mods in your load order that were deleted from bethesda. Since the NG update this breaks the mods menu and requires you to clear your Reserved Space for FO4 on Xbox. Not sure how you do it on Playstation? Might need to reinstall if you can’t find anything online.

if you’re not using any user-created mods then i’m not sure what the issue could be :(

[rotund pebble]

Thank you, I'll try that on Xbox, I definitely don't know how to clear my PlayStation data, however I could clear my library on Bethnet if it's still available. It was mostly just settlement stuff anyways.

There is a mod, i can DM you the mod later when i get home, it gives you military clothes, helmets, but no guns

[small sluice]

That’d be great

I won't be home for a while today but I'll make sure to do it when I get the chance

this is gonna sound weird but are there any building mods that use concrete? i just finished scrapping vault 88 with the srcap that settlement mod and now i have so much concrete i dont know what to do with it

[rancid cobalt]

I don't get building mods other than the place anywhere mod

I wouldn't be able to tell you

[amber ember]

There's a dlc that adds a ton of concrete slabs you can build with. Though, fair warning it will look like a prison.

What the heck lol. It’s GaStuSage’s power armor mod.

[dawn ravine]

Basically your internet provider can't find a server's address in it's yellow pages book at the moment, it'll resolve itself probably by the time you read this reply, I'd hope.

[shrewd peak]

So i did actually figure out the problem

Wasn't the internet exact. Essentially i was "logged in" to nexus

I was able to sub to the premium subscription, but somehow wasn't fully logged in or something. I logged out and restarted my browser, and that fixed the problem.

[dawn ravine]

As long as it worked, I guess, though DNS servers are known to be like hamsters at times.

[shrewd peak]

so now my problem is that the sound isnt working

[daring arch]

I seem to be experiencing difficulty in saving mod updates to Bethesda_dot_net when updating the description for a mod. I get the Saving Data ... message, followed immediately by the Could not save data. Please try again. message. Any guidance?

[hot chasm]

Has anyone ever incurred the issue where monsters/mod enemies and modded items appear a bright purple and poorly textured but everything else fine?

[buoyant wolf]

If it's bright purple that typically means the game isn't finding the textures for whatever reason. If it's more of a static look, that's usually the result of a corrupt or incorrectly formatted texture or texture archive.

[woven chasm]

is there some kinda chance there is a mod that lets you go straight to the mechanist? i keep crashing at the terminal to get to her cause i also keep crashing going through the dungeon im on xbox just to add

anyone able to help if i screenshare my mod list?

[lunar thunder]

i downloaded two legendary mods, and now i have a heavy incinerator that fires 5 fireballs of hell at once, what should i do with it?

[hot chasm]

Give this a try? https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/32171

[hot chasm]

nevermind

this modpage description is wrong apparently and told me to install a secondary mod for main mod to work but actually was the cause of my crashing and the mod i wanted works fine without it

Attempted to upload an update to a Fallout 4 mod and received the following:

HELP‼️

[chilly flare]

Does anyone know a mod that adds Skins to the plasma weapons on Xbox?

[honest merlin]

I don't see any in the search. I made one but it's got other stuff with it https://mods.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/mod-detail/4040132

o this is one https://mods.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/mod-detail/4018637

[oak stone]

Is there a mod that fixes the Speak of the Devil quest?

I can't tell if it's broken because of mods I have installed or what.

[sour veldt]

Could y’all recommend any good outfits mods? If I’m onna be in the apocalypse, might as well have STYLE

[chilly flare]

Thank you

[plain ivy]

Are there some fo4 mods that could help with my cpu

[wise ridge]

is there any playstation 4 mods to stop the guard from killing kyle

[muted gulch]

Heeellllloooo! Could anyone make a mod that adds the Capital Wasteland Mercenaries Creation Club Armor to the settlers lvl lists please?

On Xbox, sorry.

[analog blaze]

my choices will probably be bad cause I don't got much to use (PlayStation player 😭) but I have a mod installed called Grognak Bodysuits 2.0 or something like that and am using the hooded cape with leaves as a sort of camo outfit as well as McCready's Outfit as the underarmor

For the gloves and bag I use UCO, I also have a full set of heavy combat armor on that's invisible via UCO

Id also equip a gas mask but it takes off the Caped Hood so I can't

[ebon crater]

You can pass a charisma check during this conversation

or wait im thinking of the silver shroud guy

sorry uh no, kyle is scripted to die. if you kill him yourself they don't aggro

if you kill riley, they do aggro. you can kill the dc guard but then you become an enemy of dc

[wise ridge]

But he didn't deserve to die tbh he was just scyzhophrinic

I saw this one yt video on how to get Kyle not killed but sadly I'm only ps4/ps5 not pc to do that mod

[ebon crater]

you can use the console to select his dead body and use resurrect, although he's technically supposed to die after this so you might not be able to talk to him

or wait

is there even a console on PS? damn i don't think you can

[wise ridge]

No there isn't which is stupid

[ebon crater]

unless you somehow like... stun the dc guard without aggroing him

i guess if you have the robotics expert perk you could hack takahasi to get him to aggro agaist the dc guard which might distract them from shoot him

[wise ridge]

I have to reinstall the game I had to uninstall to install fortnite to see if I could do the one battle pass from chap six season 1 but It changed seasons and i don't got money for the new battle pass

Honestly i wish I had an hard drive for my ps5 to install more games without having to un install

wanna be friends @ebon crater

[quick remnant]

Hello, im trying to make a power armor mod with custom meshes and all was great with flowers and rainbows until i had to do the arms and legs, they are a nightmare, (im using bodyslide studio) there is a faster way to see how they are going to look the meshes in my power armor frame? because what i am doing, is moving a little the mesh part in the bodyslide studio and then opening fallout, that same proccess again and again and again until that very part is in the place i want it to be, but it is very time-taking, i took almost 5 hours moving each part, any help and advice will be very appreciated! thank you

[verbal salmon]

anyone know how to fix the issue with the library showing only 5 mods and favorites shows only 20 its kinda annoying and they didnt fixed it this issue has been in the game since next gen update

[opaque wave]

Does anyone know how to fix the FO4 In-game Mod Menu refusing to open on Xbox?

[fluid mural]

Hi guys, do u know a mod that delete the settlers limit 20 in a settlement?

[calm glen]

You can clear your reserved space for FO4 but it’ll delete all the mods currently installed. It will allow you back into the menu though.

[naive rune]

hey boo

[opaque wave]

Thanks mate.

[muted gulch]

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/67617?tab=description

Any chance someone can port this to Xbox please?

[verbal salmon]

the in game mod menu is absolute bs

the website is even worse it keeps un adding my mods then adds them back randomly breaks the whole library keeps showing my name thats from a year ago A YEAR AGO

one mod in favorites says its not in my library but only favorited THEN I LOOK INTO LIBRARY AND ITS THERE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE THE NEXT GEN UPDATE AND HAVENT BEEN FIXED AT ALL

[radiant herald]

You'll have more luck asking in #skyrim-se-mods

[unborn wolf]

this kind of thing is why i use nexus mods / mod organizer 2 instead of the in game mod system

[tepid ferry]

I NEED HELP

I’m new to PC and I just got F4 I started the game, I didn’t do anything to it, I then started modding on nexus with vortex, I thought I downloaded everything I needed so it can work but then the game would crash in about 10 seconds upon loading up everytime, so I disabled all the mods and now the problem still consists with or without mods, please someone help me.

GPU
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super
CPU
Intel(R) core(TM) i9-14900KF

[unborn wolf]

i wouldn't use vortex, i would use MO2, and did you make sure you have F4SE and everything installed

[amber crow]

If I delete these would it break?

[tepid ferry]

Ok I’ll try MO2, and I did have F4SE there’s tons of videos with different solutions to the problem but nothing seems to work

[unborn wolf]

mo2 automatically detects f4se, as long as you select it in this menu it should work :)

[tepid ferry]

It’s says I’m running a newer version of fallout so should I downgrade to before the next gen patch

[unborn wolf]

yes

if you want a stable fallout 4 load order, follow the midnight ride modding guide located at https://themidnightride.moddinglinked.com/intro.html (it also offers a wabbajack installer if you'd rather do that)

but if you don't have nexus premium, the wabbjack isn't the best idea

[uneven pollen]

i have a few ideas for a dlc-style mod but idk which one would be most interesting
a) plymouth, MA
b) revisit to Atlantic City from fo76
c) Anchorage, post-war

[muted gulch]

@uneven pollen If you did Anchorage post-war you could really lean into the Chinese Remnants.

[sour veldt]

There was one I had but accidentally deleted, you took them to the surgery center and directed them to sit down in the chair

I’m on console

[naive rune]

aft is on xbox too, you might recognize my name lol, i uploaded a feckton of mods to bethnet for xbox

unless ur on playstation in which case big oof xD

[sour veldt]

OOF, nah, Xbox.

[naive rune]

then AFT is on Xbox but there has to be a simpler option on bethnet for xbox aswell gotta be

[sour veldt]

There was, basically it was just pay the fee for the facial reconstruction and then direct them to sit down in the chair

[naive rune]

if it is on nexus and it has perms just shove it my way and ill port it np

[sour veldt]

Nice, Thank, mate.

[naive rune]

tho i will say if you own a simple laptop(thats legit all you need) i much rather teach people to port

[muted gulch]

I'd be dangerous if I knew how to port... or even had a pc that could run Fallout 4 lol

[naive rune]

a pc or laptop does not need to be able to run Fallout 4 to port for it to Xbox

[muted gulch]

Oh really? Eyebrow raised

[naive rune]

yeah the Fallout 4 CK itself is really low spec it ill run on almost anything

[muted gulch]

Guess that means I need to learn how to port then lol

[dawn ravine]

Hmm. If I obtain the Gamepass version of F4, will it play nice with the steam release I already have? Recent support threads have me curious if that version is damaged in some fashion.

[wheat tulip]

So I have a Mossberg 500 mod that can use dragons breath someone please tell me how to get it I cant find the ammo anywhere is there a mod I can use

Or a ammo menu mod

[uneven pollen]

wip post-war Anchorage mod

[wheat tulip]

does anyone know of a mod menu that has the ability to give you your modded ammo pls

[wheat tulip]

@rancid cobalt can you also dm me the name of that mod

[rancid cobalt]

Done

[shadow cargo]

I think that Bethesda should not force 3rd person animations on the player if the player has selected to play the game in first person and keep the 3rd person animations only for players that have selected to play the game in 3rd person I’m a low level modder and I’m interested in creating a mod that removes the 3rd person animations if there are any modders out there that could point me in the right direction to look, I don’t mind doing the work and would love some advise on where to start looking in the CK.

[rancid cobalt]

Wdym "force"?

[honest merlin]

The furniture has a a keyword force 3 person, remove that.

[shadow cargo]

In Bethesda games when the player is in 1st person and uses a workbench or sits etc it forces the perspective to 3rd person for the animation and displays workbench menu if applicable

[shadow cargo]

Thank you for the suggestion I will try that!

[patent peak]

Are there any mods that keep track of achievements? Something that can tell you "you need to kill 4 more ants to get XYZ achievement"?

[smoky cedar]

I'm looking for an alternative start mod for ps4

[mossy gull]

Do they already have a furry mod?

[unborn wolf]

those don’t work on PS or Xbox due to not having the script extender.

if you want the full range of mods, play the game on pc

ps4 and Xbox only get mods that don’t require f4se

[mossy gull]

Just great. Thanks anyway.

[unborn wolf]

I wasn’t talking to u lol I was talking to the person who wanted an alt start mod

[mossy gull]

I see.

[crystal gulch]

how do you use mods without achievements being disabled

[naive rune]

if ur on console you cant if ur on PC there are Achievement Enablers out there on Nexus

[crystal gulch]

ok and is the unnoficial fallout 4 patch essential too

[naive rune]

if ur on console its a hard pass for now cuz of the NPC stutter Bethesda introduced in the last update

[crystal gulch]

im on pc

[naive rune]

but on PC you can downgrade so the patch is usable again

[crystal gulch]

its not updated yet?

[naive rune]

lol no Bethesda updated the game May last year breaking the Mod Menu on Console and stuff and then left xD

[split yarrow]

The issue has also been greatly exaggerated in terms of the UFO4P as well. While it's certainly there, it's nowhere near the degree people claim it is because all of the edited NPCs are so spread out. You only really run into big problems when they concentrate in larger numbers in a small area.

[surreal harness]

hi guys, i have a question, if i download cbbe and a few more texture and graphics mods will the achievements work? And what if I also have companion mods?

[thick yacht]

my fallout 4 have these weird "things" can someone help me

[amber mulch]

Ceiling missile turrets anyone? I can only find one mod but they don't fire correctly. Manually inverting regular tripod missile turrets with place anywhere also does not work properly. In both cases, the weapon will just fire upwards.

[buoyant valley]

Any recommendation for a decoration mod with some clutter ? I tried Workshop decoration pack but it doesn't seem to work

[calm glen]

Creative Clutter

[shut thicket]

the bug that causes the ghoul corpses to not despawn at croup manor, does the unofficial fallout patch fix that?

[split yarrow]

Yes, along with corpse cleanup at several other settlement locations.

[naive rune]

i do hope Gary remains the same(this one alive friendly ghoul i always have at Croup Manor xD)

[shut thicket]

ok good, i was thinking of useing the settlement tidy bot that cleans up corpses from locations

[shut thicket]

is it not advised to add mods in the middle of your playthrough?

[honest merlin]

Depends on the mod, most mods It's okay. Read the descriptions.

[hard blade]

New here, I’m still pretty disappointed that the Next-Gen Update was forced into your game save and not an optional download. There’s mod named “Conversions” that adds new ammo conversions for weapons in tandem with Munitions and was unable to make use of any grenade launcher ammo types due to the update. I have no problem with them adding new Creations to the game for those that want them, but I hope Bethesda changes this eventually so it isn’t like this for us players. I won’t hold my breath though.

[willow wagon]

I think Beth is done with both Fallout 4 and Skyrim. They have Starfield and ES6 that are the focus. The only thing you’ll get for Skyrim are creations and nothing for 4.

[hard blade]

I know. It’s just annoying that we can’t choose whether to download them or not. For us on PC it can conflict with mods that we download on Nexus or otherwise. It’s caused a ton of heated debate in the community.

[naive rune]

ey atleast ur on PC and can just downgrade to Pre Update version of the game on console ur fecked xD

[hard blade]

Agreed. I still don’t understand why they chose to force it on us. Why even have the option to go to the Creation Club and see them available there if it is installed on your save anyway? One small change and this would all go away. Maybe one day…

[naive rune]

thats the most i could do as console player, make a mod to disable all the forced CC content, sure wish i could also revert the update lol

[hard blade]

I don’t mind the content, heck I’d rather have the update in order to have the most recent UFO4P. It’s just that you can’t choose to install it, like other past Creations. It’s already there. Maybe if the fanbase makes a big enough stink or something. For those who use the most recent update, best we can do is ignore it.

[muted gulch]

Problem is Bethesda is only going put anything Fallout 4 on the shelf or like the update, half-baked, so long as 76 is relevant and making money. God I love their games though.

[willow wagon]

I don’t think it’s that it’s just FO4 is old now and there isn’t much more they can do for the game. CC is dead for VC and they aren’t going to increase the mod GB or add the VC for 4. So it’s just best for Beth to move on from the game.

[split yarrow]

There's no evidence to suggest that they have no further plans for the game just because they aren't telling you what they might be.

[deft whale]

Curious about a mod on Xbox that adds bikini girl loading screens, there is a hidden feature in the mod I'm curious about if anyone has more information

[muted gulch]

@willow wagon Skyrim got the creations Update and is older than Fallout 4 so that isn't necessarily true.

[willow wagon]

If there’s more to come for 4 then what are they waiting for? I mean Starfield seems like it’s all but dead. No update since the dlc in September. If they had plans why not do it for the next gen update? This is the 10 anniversary for 4 so maybe they do something for it.

[willow wagon]

True but TES is Beth’s baby so of course it’ll get the most attention. They already said they won’t increase the mod GB for 4 so VC can’t come to the game. You can’t do a whole lot with that limit.

[shut thicket]

are mods down? i keep getting “this operation could not be completed”

[dawn ravine]

Do we know any major places where console porters currently congregate? I'm trying to figure out the best way to distribute updated documentation for XB1 porting and possibly PS4 for mods that modify Far Harbor due to a packaging error with the Steam version.

[honest merlin]

This is the place

[calm glen]

If you're getting this error when trying to open the mods section from the main menu, you likely have a mod in your load order that has been removed from bethesda.net

[shut thicket]

guessing i have to uninstall the game then?

[calm glen]

No you can wipe your reserved space which will remove all of your installed mods. You can also try to sign into a different account, open fallout 4 and go to the mods page and it will let you access your load order. From there you can search for which mod has been deleted by using the bethesda website and searching for each mod in your load order. This can be very time consuming if you have a big load order so it's usually worth just starting from scratch by wiping your reserved space.

[split yarrow]

We don't know. But it's pure speculation to say they're done with the game forever.

[stoic mirage]

You know, the times i played Fallout 4 Mods, like Graphics Mods, Retexture Mods, even improvement mods, Crashed a bunch of times, corrupted my game twice and had to reinstall my game 3 times because it kept freezing and crashing at the main menu of fallout 4

[pseudo pewter]

should i downgrade fallout or just use the next gen version for mods

[amber mulch]

I play next gen on Xbox and pre next gen on pc.

[harsh prism]

Hello!
Does any mod maker have any insight into what mistake I am making if, when I try to set up a hotkey in my mod's mcm, when I want to actually set it in -game it does not "stick", it just sets for a microsecond then goes back to "none" ?
I have a few hotkeys on a separate MCM page added earlier that work just fine.
Just the new ones I have just added just now, they don' t want to work right no matter what I do

As far as I can tell it is correctly set up in keybinds.JSON, it is set up correctly in config.json, i can't find any obvious differences between what I did the keybinds that work, and the ones that do not work.

Where should I look to debug this?

Nvm, found the cause, naturally I was forgetting a "{" somewhere, and was not seeing it.

[hot chasm]

My game keep crashing is it because the load order or is it because it don't run good on an old Gen Xbox one

[thin cloud]

I'd recommend starting here: https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/31781

[lavish tartan]

Hi, hoping this is the right place for a mod request. I play on Ps4 and am looking for a mod to be made (or ported?) that let's me "equip" unarmed attacks (only fists) or to forcibly unequip the weapon I'm currently holding; maybe a ring that has a similar feature? If anyone can do this I'd be grateful.

(P.S. if this is the wrong place I'm happy to delete)

[honest merlin]

This is the right place.

Hey I have been experiencing the operation could not be completed glitch is beth.net down again or is there something else going on?

[rancid cobalt]

Just tap on your equipped weapon on the pip boy

[buoyant valley]

Hey, I have an issue since recently with the game just suddenly closing without error or anything. Using F4se (maybe that's why there isn't a crash log).
Any way to find what's causing the crash ?

[rancid cobalt]

Like a sudden freeze and all current sound going like a glitch?

Then it crashes after about 10 seconds

?

If it's a freeze then crash, it could be game data, game files, or outdated software that needs a update

It happens to me a lot

[rancid cobalt]

I have a old gen Xbox one

[rancid cobalt]

☝️

Also could be because of mods, too many mods will do it too

If nothing fixes it then just report it

[lavish tartan]

Yea I'd like an option to remove it without pulling up the pip boy, if you press on your same weapon in the ps4 favorites menu it does literally nothing

[rancid cobalt]

That's weird

[honest merlin]

I don't think a script is available to un equip, their is a script to fav and equip a weapon. I'll look around a bit.

[rancid cobalt]

When i play i just select my equipped weapon to unequip it and i can use my fists

[hot chasm]

Thanks

[rancid cobalt]

Np

[honest merlin]

I made this for ya, give it a test - https://mods.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/mod-detail/4370800

[hot chasm]

So I can't open Mods or enter a game without it stuck on landing screen

Loading'

[honest merlin]

Clear your reserve space

Ty I was just looking at it much thanks 👅

Wrong emoji 😭🤞🏼

[lavish tartan]

Hey I went to add it but it won't let me add to my library from the website and I can't find it on the ps4 search function

[honest merlin]

You must use the Work In Progress Flag

[lavish tartan]

How do I do that? I've never used that before

[honest merlin]

on the SP4 search you can filter for weapons, quests, bla bla bla. One in W.I.P.

[hot chasm]

Still stuck on this darn loading screen

[lavish tartan]

Bethesda.net just been buggy for me lately, looks like I managed to add it to my library. Loading up now!

[hot chasm]

I deleted the reserved space from F4 "I did close F4 btw" but when I try to load into a game it just keeps doing it do I just needa reinstall?

[honest merlin]

Yes you probably do, and don't download mods in bulk. Add them one at a time.

[hot chasm]

I see but I only have 3 mods

[honest merlin]

That way you know what one borked ya

[hot chasm]

And there all minutemen I haven't had any problems

[honest merlin]

Untill you did

[hot chasm]

I felt that 😭🤞🏼 but ty gray

[lavish tartan]

@honest merlin thank you so much it works perfect! "Hands" was added directly to my inventory when loaded and does the same damage/animations as regular fists

[honest merlin]

I fear bugs, I'll move it out of Work In Progress after more testing. Hope you have fun with it!

[lavish tartan]

I'll let you know if I find any, thanks again!

[desert escarp]

Hello, Xbox player here, if there's someone who can do an "simple" mod for me, please message me, it would be wonderful as it's something that have been bothering me since god know how long, and since i don't own an PC, I can't try do it myself, thank you

[honest merlin]

If you ask in this space, more eyes might pick up the clange.

[desert escarp]

Alright, i think. It's an "simple" mod that get rid of recoil from the game, from vanilla weapons, modded weapons, everything. Call it skill issue, but i hate it, that's all, zero recoil.

[honest merlin]

Lazer guns mostly. but ya. I see

[desert escarp]

For all guns, ballistic, energy. . .

[honest merlin]

That's a lot of edits, to object mods. I wonder if it would be faster to make a costume slot on all the weapons to adjust recoil ? IDK

[desert escarp]

What you mean by "costume slot"?

[honest merlin]

Each part of the gun and the legendary power is a slot filled by a keyword

the receiver part controls the recoil I think, but any other part can ajust that

[desert escarp]

That sounds like bad news to me...

[honest merlin]

Lot of work not very compatable with new guns

[desert escarp]

Yeah that's definitely bad news...

[honest merlin]

Bethesda or script extender could hard code recoil to a global variable ? then it would take little to do.

[desert escarp]

I didn't understood a word, but i believe in you mister

[honest merlin]

The weapon can be dropped but not picked up. That's the bug I did not think about to much. Just don't drop a bunch of them and I think you'll be ok.

[hot chasm]

Made some mods for fallout 76 and I'm trying to make them work for fallout 4, anybody got a guide or tool for that? It's like the textures are working at all

Hello, good evening or good morning or good afternoon, I today decided to download Gas Masks of the Wasteland (full version 459mb), and upon equipping my mask, I get this HUD widget, and it just says "VALUE".
I tried to see if I can reset the widget by "turning it off and on" again and I got a crash, if I unequip it, and equip it again, my game goes poof.
Additional information: Platform: Xbox Series S,
How many mods I have: 139 (without gas masks mod)
Do I have the same issue with any of my other mods? No.
I have Hudframework and "paper boy" mod, along with "better item names", no hud presets either.

If anyone has any information on this issue, please reply with a ping so I can come back to this message.

[stable crystal]

the bgsm materials are different between the games

you can download a tool to convert or make new bgsm's

[hot chasm]

I thought bgsm just did lighting and surface effects?

Like you can do nif swaps to replace models without the bgsm changing names

*I am an amateur and might say dumb stuff

[stable crystal]

when making nifs from a raw model file you must make a material for it and assign in nifskope

also 76 bgsm's take a few differant maps than f4

[stable crystal]

id recomend in your material folder under data put a updated bgsm file with your defuse, normal and spectural and metalic in some cases assigned and drag and drop your dds textures in data/textures

[rancid cobalt]

Idk

[rose patio]

i actually do

[rose patio]

sending to ya in a DM....if i can

[rose patio]

it broke the script extender (F4SE), which means the F4SE had to be update which in turn broke EVERY Mod that used F4SE, it was a modders nightmare

still is

[rose patio]

it actually shut down if i remember correctly

[split yarrow]

Not seeing how it's supposedly a modders nightmare. IMO the nightmare for modders is being expected to support multiple obsolete versions of the game.

[hot chasm]

thanks i'll try to get in touch with them i'm looking into doing a similar project and might can reinvigorate the team

[hot chasm]

once F4SE was updated shouldn't that have fixed most mods that relied on it?

awesome! do yall have a server or does anyone on the team livestream modding? i would love to learn more

[rose patio]

I'll ask the Lead director of the team if we can invite the public into the discord server, cuz at this time i think we are keeping it closed down until we are ready to show off the first trailer

But however a teaser for it, you'll see a 12 year old Legion (from New Vegas) and You'll see the Desert Rangers (Before the Ranger Treaty that made them NCR Veteran Rangers)

[hot chasm]

i have a plan for a small project with instanced exterior area with 1 unique enemy and 1 unique voiced NPC to take you there, i would love and appreciate any opportunity to learn

[rose patio]

and you can actually choose to join both if you wish.....er uh not at the same time lol

[hot chasm]

lol makes perfect sense, can you go into detail for the area of Texas? Houston? El Paso? Dallas?

[rose patio]

our key points of Texas is: We are having the features from New Vegas such as:

• Karma
• Reputation
• leveling
• Numerous Factions with all having their own separate ending
• Player choices can alter your story majorly
• Some choices might have bad consequences
• Deathclaw Behavior

From Fallout 4 we will have

• Settlement Build system (LIMITED)
• Deathclaw Look
• MAYBE Voice Acting we will see how that goes

voice acting for all NPC's for sure

but i meant as for the Player Character we are unsure at this point

oh and for you Enclave and BoS Lovers, sorry to say, they are NOT in Texas, there is hints that the enclave was once there, and there is signs the BoS was there but the BoS got their rear ends kicked and pushed out of Texas

[hot chasm]

oooooo!!!

now thats spicy! i especially appreciate alternate paths/endings

[rose patio]

yeah lol no one on the Dev team likes Enclave or BoS, we are all NCR and Veteran Ranger fans

[hot chasm]

no enclave and no bos is a genius move really. games are becoming to copy paste when we keep seeing the same factions again and again

stuff like minutemen and free states and ncr make so much more sense to me, they're more similar to the familiar and sound like the natural progression of survivors

[rose patio]

well we have only seen the Veteran Rangers really fleshed out in ONE Game, New Vegas and you saw them for what.....20 minutes at the end?

So we decided to flesh them out show thier roots as the Desert Rangers

[hot chasm]

yeah they're begging for some more lore

i'm excited for it and can't wait to see a trailer

[rose patio]

i can Tell you this cuz it's not really a spoiler because NO MATTER what ending you choose this does happen, there is a Cut Scene that shows the Actual Ranger Unification treaty betwen the NCR and the Rangers at the end

we had to choose 1 thing that happens regarldess of player choice due to it's tie ins to New Vegas, and the Ranger Treaty was it

also our map is expected to be 1 1/2 size of FO4 map

so almost double FO4 map

[hot chasm]

kinda sounds like you're making it to where any of the endings could be canon, fans will really appreciate that

wow that'll be pretty big!

[rose patio]

we kinda are, because we have to remember on this project, 2 of the factions are seen in New Vegas no matter what, The Legion and The Desert Rangers who become the Black Armor duster wearing Veteran Rangers

and if Toastyfresh comes through with us, it's his NCR veteran Ranger armor thats gonna be the basis for the Desert Ranger armor

oh and BTW, for all Pip-Boy Lovers, there will be no Pip-Boy in texas

you're not a Vault Dweller, you'll be getting a Pip-Tablet or the Tactical tablet if you will

anyways, my lead director said thats enough he sees this chat, he said i left you guys with enough teasers lol

[hot chasm]

sounds amazing!!! i can't wait to see it!

[desert escarp]

Day 3 asking someone to make an mod removing recoil from the game. . .

[rose patio]

no one will do that, cuz every gun in existance has recoil

[hot chasm]

Are FO4 buildings mods safe and ok?

Still trying to find the plasma rifle though

Also what happens if I get the fixed up pre war sanctuary town as I had already kinda build things will it be an issue?

[plain ivy]

Yes

I mean no mod Is ok but on nexus they should be fine,still check the reviews and posts

[hot chasm]

I use xbox 1

[lament sundial]

anybody know what this is and how to fix it

[dark oyster]

Okay my mod problem was deleted

Nice

[amber mulch]

Building mods like scrappy and snap n build are fine. It's the scrap mods that you gotta be mindful of as they break previs and can cause missing textures and performance issues. If you want to use a prewar sanctuary settlement mid game like something by the realjenn(my personal favorite) it works well, you just have to follow instructions. Anything you have built will still be there. A good rule of thumb when you add any settlement mod, is to walk to said settlement from far away so it can load in properly. Do not fast travel to it at first. So, after enabling a sanctuary settlement mod, you want to walk from about concord location. Walk. Don't run.

[hot chasm]

This is why I don't do mods and I used xbox one

[amber mulch]

Yikes, if you are on old old xbox one, prepare yourself for endless crashing. Even with a perfect load order. I first played on old xbox one s and was crashing like 15 times a day. Do yourself a favor and upgrade to a newer xbox. I play on both xbox x and pc. It's harder to mess mods up on Xbox x, but xbox is severely limited compared to what pc can do. But it's good to get practice on Xbox first. But if you are attempting on old xbox one, you are going to get severely frustrated.

[hot chasm]

Yea last experience was with skyrim I had to restart the entire game never trusted mods since.

[amber mulch]

There is certainly a learning curve. What helped me when I first got into mods was finding a good load order template similar to this. Structure your load order accordingly.

[hot chasm]

I'm still not getting mods

[amber mulch]

But like i said earlier, even with a perfect load order, old xbox one will still crash on you. The system simply can't handle the games engine requirements properly

[amber mulch]

Except the building mods?

[hot chasm]

Not even that

[amber mulch]

Then why did you ask if they were ok? Lol

[hot chasm]

I was hoping for the plasma rifle one there's none and not getting a package version

[amber mulch]

Oh, i misunderstood you. You said building mods, I thought you meant settlement building mods. My apologies

[hot chasm]

That was more than just a question that all. I really want the plasma rifle bit that's never gonna happen and it all still looks the same mods 8yrs ago

[amber mulch]

I'm still not sure what you are seeking and I have been playing fallout 4 daily for like 5 years

You are in a mods section of discord and you are saying you don't want mods. 🤷‍♂️

[hot chasm]

NO IM NOT said this 5x I REMOVED IT 2MTHS AGO

Its a glitch

[thin cloud]

They are saying this conversation that has been going on is in the Fallout 4 Mods channel.

[final bronze]

Howdy folks, does anyone know if the commonwealth GECK Project mod functions correctly for the older version (.163)

[dawn ravine]

As far as I know, any plugin based mod (esp/esm/esl) should work as expected in .163 and .984 with minor differences in support, with the exception of Far Harbor if you aren't playing on Steam, assuming the plugin touches that DLC.

Most of us mod developers assume you are using the current release though.

[amber mulch]

I used it all the time on pre next gen xbox. I assume that might be same build version sorta if that helps. Great mod.

[final bronze]

Sweet, I'll invest into it as a Spring Break Project, thanks @amber mulch @dawn ravine

[visual crane]

I wanted to ask something about the mod "America rising 2" basically the enclave mod
I had it downloaded on my xbox one s a few months ago but I couldn't finish it because of too many crashes and the console overheating till the point it was scorching hot.
however, now that I have gotten a ps5 I want to ask if I can play the mod without problems or if it's going to fry my new ps5

[muted gulch]

Ok, I'm really struggling here. I'm downloading mods for my Xbox Series X, and it seems that if I get over a certain amount my game crashes to the dashboard when I start it up. My delimma is I want those mods and I can't seem to be able to choose which ones to keep... Anyone have ideas for a stable lore friendly Xbox load order?

[marsh grail]

Any good stable mods that add weapon skins?

[desert escarp]

Same here, I'm on a Series X, and I'm suffering from 'Random Stuttering' and I don't even use heavy mods, just some small things. My load order probably is messed up (it would be great if someone could help me to put everything on correct place), i really just wanted to fill this game from tips to toes with mods and play it at 60 fps the whole time, but i guess that's just dreaming. Anyway, day 4 asking for someone to make an mod that remove recoil from the game

[desert escarp]

That's why I'm asking someone to make a mod to remove that? I don't care if it's not realistic, I DON'T WANT THIS CRAP ON MY GAME, YOU UNDERSTAND?

[desert escarp]

Going to try to place everything according to this, see if it works, but i will keep what says "keep in the bottom" in the bottom of the load order

[rose patio]

no reason to yell, i wasn't trying to be rude with my reply, so no reason for you to be yelling

[desert escarp]

Oh sorry, i didn't meant to sound rude, is just how i highlight something i type

How exactly you yell typing. . .

[shell gorge]

On the internet typing in all caps is considered to be the equivalent of yelling.

[desert escarp]

That's funny

[muted gulch]

Yeah I hit the archive limit because of all the Creation Club Armor, weapon, pipboy, and power Armor paints. Tossed those and now I'm good 😁

[desert escarp]

I don't use any of the Creation Club content, and yet i still suffer from stuttering

Honestly the only cool thing on it in my opinion is the Minutemen armor paint, and the Manwell Rifle

[radiant herald]

i dont understand how a 2mb mod needs 16mb of space to "unpack" its loose files is that just the hallmark of a really junk mod?

[desert escarp]

Yeah, i tried an different load order, same thing, stuttering, on a xbox series x, no other game happens that, only Fallout 4. For the lack of caring for their game, i want an Boeing 173 to fall over Todd Howard's house

[real urchin]

Anyone know if I can just uninstall ufo4p mid playthrough?

[radiant herald]

you can but it dosent mean that your save will be fine its highly unrecomended to remove stuff mid playthrough

[real urchin]

Alright I'll keep it I have like 150 hours on this save

[real urchin]

Since uninstalling the mods messes with the scripts would the issues with my save be fixed if I reinstalled the mod?

[radiant herald]

it could do or it could also introduce new errors like some kind of mutant

[real urchin]

Would there be any issues with me uninstalling a weapon skin mod mid-playthrough?

Like would it just revert all the weapon skins? I'm trying to uninstall art of war because it's like 400mb and there's other mods I find to be more important

[buoyant wolf]

If it's set up as an attachment you should be fine.

Just remove it from the gun before uninstalling.

Even if it's not, there shouldn't be any issues. Textures are mostly just in a hierarchy, so it should just drop to the default.

[thorn dragon]

Had a question so I can't seem to get my mods to work on Xbox is it the load order I did them in ?

[desert escarp]

I found it!

So, i searched like a lot, for what was causing the stuttering post update

And by what i understood, mods that alter NPC faces are causing stuttering, and some other that edit their records. I uninstalled Unofficial Patch, Sanctuary NPCs Overhaul, Simple Settlers (Mortal) as they edited NPC faces, and i read somewhere that Loot realism and referred mods also caused stutter. So i started a new game without them, and if there's stuttering occuring, i am not noticing

But still, i want an plane to fall over Todd's house, they could had just not messed the game up

[ebon verge]

Sometimes I think it's possible to make patch for NPC glitch for FO4 Next-Gen and UFO4P authors are "just" drama builders and they don't want to check EVERY feature to remove it in case if Bethesda really fixed something. Sometimes.

Hey @dawn ravine @amber mulch So it looks like for some reason I can't assign settlers in those settlements, any fixes?

[radiant herald]

someone needs to make a mod that makes collisions for NPCs in workshops not be a thing in build mode

[stable crystal]

personaly i dont use the ufo4p and if i find a annoying bug i patch it myself in the ck, if its a engine level bug i use f4se modding to patch it

[signal shore]

Anyone know if there’s any non main quest related unique weapons in ar2? It makes it hard to pick the faction when you want to go for certain builds such as a stealth sniper in the enclave type character or a heavy weapons character or a melee character when the only uniques are energy rifles or the silent hunter

I'm trying to create a new Feral Ghoul variant. I'm new to modding. Can anyone recommend a tutorial video please?

[fossil shoal]

Where do I go on here to get help with a bug?

[dawn ravine]

What, a radroach? Smack it with a hammer or a baton.

[silver finch]

If I had the time and put forward the effort i would learn how to code just to make a proper f4 randomizer 🥲

Cus if I remeber correctly everything is in set ids so the game knows what goes where so all I would need to do is make it take from a pool right?

[fossil shoal]

Does anyone know how I can fix this glitch? Or should I start a new game?

[stable crystal]

i have never seen that lol does it happen every time you open f4?

[fossil shoal]

It started out of nowhere. I look to the direction of concord and my game or when I’m in concord it does this

I have reinstalled the game, verified the file integrity. Got rid of some mods that could cause this, but idk should I bite the bullet and start again

[stable crystal]

have you checked your drivers?

[hot chasm]

Would it be possible to make a mod that shows all workbenches on the map?

[hot chasm]

Also, Can someone please make a mod that lowers the height of all weapons in first person so they take up much less of the screen?

[stable crystal]

potentially you could put quest aliases on all workbenches so there's a marker on them when you run the "find workbenches" quest, the only issue is it will be tedious in the ck to do so the batch editor will prob come in clutch for making such a mod

[stable crystal]

a havok tools license would be required to change the transform of the animation keyframes and tons of experience unless a creative workaround is found lol

i wonder if it can be changed by transforming animation "nodes" in nifskope

[hot chasm]

Just need a simple mod where my character needs to eat sleep and drink, and maybe have fast travel toggleable. Not interested in it doing anything else, and the penalties aren’t too severe. Does it exist? If not would someone be so kind as to make it, or walk me through the steps of making it.

[hot chasm]

Fallout 76 is just right for me. If we could mimic that game for 4’s hardcore/survival, or better yet add them to normal, that would be awesome. (Ideal)

[hot chasm]

I have an idea. Since there are issues with changing survival, or adding needs systems to normal, look at this solution. The need to eat, sleep, and drink can be added as more of an incentive rather than a punishment. Giving these items bonuses worth having will create the illusion of needing to drink, eat, and sleep. Here are some examples.

6-8+ hours of sleep gives an xp boost, perception +1, luck +1, and intelligence +1 for 14-16 hours

Most drinking items have slight buffs as is, but purified water will grant ap refresh rate, +1 agility, and +1 endurance for 4-6 hours.

Same with food. Foods will grant + 1 strength, + 1 charisma, and damage resistances for 4-6 hours.

They already have bonuses that create this, but I’m proposing honing in on this aspect and improving upon it with this approach in mind. Of course, that Yao Guai meat can have a use for cooking, but you get like 3 of them per play through… Lots of molerat meat and dog meat, however. Let’s make cooking them up something to really look forward to.

[stable crystal]

made a BOS outfit for curie

[final cradle]

I know there’s a few playable ghoul mods for console but none of them are what I’m looking for. One lets you become a ghoul at any time but you can’t really customise yourself much. The other one is great for face customisation but it requires you to become a ghoul as you leave the vault and I’m using an alt start mod and want to avoid that.

Are there any other ghoul player mods on Xbox that have good customisation and let me turn ghoul at any time?

[stable crystal]

Hey everyone, I want to download a bunch of mods that change things up, ranging from more tactical gameplay, to better AI, better weapon customization. Is that possible on xbox? Does anyone have a list similar to what I'm looking for?

[wheat tulip]

does anyone have any mods that make a settlement look like nuka world if so dm me

[quick remnant]

hey! im thinking the same thing just now! this is indeed horrible...

[austere harness]

Hey folks, so for the stuttering issue regarding npc facegen, what mods are safe to use and avoid this issue in regards to changing the look of my own character? Things like hair mods, eyes, hair colors. I'm avoiding anything that directly says "face textures" but want to make sure I'm avoiding anything not as obvious.

[amber ember]

Anyone know if there's a Nora/Nate AI voice available? I wanted to try making dialogue for a quest mod idea i got

[ebon verge]

I'm pretty sure Nora's VA won't approve your AI shenanigans, but you can try

[amber mulch]

I saw a.i voices for Cait, piper and curie on 1001 soundboards website yesterday. I'm sure there is one for nate and Nora there too. It was actually pretty decent. I was surprised.

[amber mulch]

There is a dude on youtube who's been making fo4 mod showcase videos for literally years using nothing but Nora voice clone. Videos are actually pretty good. https://youtube.com/@arjafield?si=zqzTU8G6DJT6aGKY

[amber ember]

Sounds clean actually. Thanks

[real urchin]

Could someone make a mod which removes the mirelurk Queen from murkwater construction site? There is one that does this but as part of an unscrappable settlement preset so I image it wouldn't be difficult to do

[amber mulch]

Maybe it would show up in settlement markers mod. Scrap the spawn point

[worldly junco]

Hello everyone,
I'm new here because I'm looking for a way to bypass the mod limit that Fallout unfortunately has.
My first idea was to create a mod where I could put all the nice outfit mods I'd like to have and have them run via a single mod assignment.
But that seems harder than I thought. Do you have any suggestions on how to do something like that? Or does something like that already exist? Is there a good tutorial for it? Maybe even in German?

(Sorry for my poor English. I'm German and translated this message into English using Google)

[real urchin]

It doesn't show up in scrap everything and I'm not aware of other mods that will work

[honest merlin]

`disable it

[olive vigil]

Does changing companions appearances/ faces still break the game on Xbox?

[honest merlin]

This only happens when you have like 30 of the same modded NPC in one cell. But ya, no update since that bug whent live.

[olive vigil]

So, yes?

[honest merlin]

Yes but the problem had been exaggerated for youtube clicks

[olive vigil]

Ok so if I change one companions appearance, like say add scars or whatever, what happens?

[honest merlin]

Nothing

If you have 20 of that same NPC in one place you will lag a bit.

[amber mulch]

with your present scrap mods, are you able to see other spawn points? Like at Jamaica plain, there are lots of ghoul ambush points that can be scrapped. They are invisible and you just have to look around for them. If you can see such things, then you should be able to see a spawn point for the queen.

[hot chasm]

Is MCM considered a plugin?

[amber mulch]

If you are using mo2, you can see your plug in list on the right side. I want to say yes or most likely to it being a plug in. But I'm not 100% sure on that.

[hot chasm]

Ahh thanks. It’s not appearing there. I’m just trying to organize my load order and feel like it would be best at the top with the plugins.

Is there a mod to just raise the cap values of food items? I can’t find one that does what I need it to. I’ve tried yellowcake, cooking overhaul, and CHEF. Those were the only ones I could find that adjusted the values. Raising their cap value should increase how much hunger they replenish, right?

[hot chasm]

I think I found one ‘Survival Configuration menu’. It has a bit of a learning curve, but I believe it is what I’m looking for. This mod author has a lot of excellent mods. Very impressive. Now let’s see if I can get it to work with ‘Survival Options’, which is my favorite so far.

[hot chasm]

Trying to run GOG version of Fallout 4 with MO2 after having previously used the MO2 build for the Steam version. It is giving me an error where it says this file is not found.
(ccSBJFO4003-Grenade.esl + MakeshiftweaponAMMO.esp, zsz_fixgen_makeshiftammo.esp) I ran the game with GOG and I also noticed the Creations portion of the mods were missing from the main menu. Is there a workaround to that, or are creations just not used with the GOG version of Fallout 4?

[rocky mantle]

Does anyone know of any creative mods that let you put excess inventory items in your settlement inventory in a creative way, similar to how the pack pony works in Torchlight 2?

[hot chasm]

Use SKK's Universal Stash. That mod is amazing.

[rocky mantle]

I'll take a look thanks. Is it overly cheaty?

[hot chasm]

Not really, it is extremely helpful with survival too and makes it much more manageable in my opinion.

Just a heads up though, the tools are hard coded as junk even if you use a tools are not junk (misc) mod. So, don't scrap player junk, just stash all junk and then scrap stash junk.

[rocky mantle]

Hmm I can only find a Statfield version, not FO4

[hot chasm]

Also, you can have all workbenches activate the mod, which is super convienient for Survival playthroughs where you don't want to really cheat. Sometimes a visual glitch can occur at the workbench if you have other mods that mess with the workbench ui. You can decide if you want to activate it through the workshop bench, workbenches, or just use the Universal Stash Settlement buildable stash instead, however.

GOG never got the NG patch with the CC modules, as far as I remember. Don't remember the reasons why.

hello, im looking for a mod for PC that lets me make faction settlements and that adds more faction content after i beat the game, anyone have recommendations

[worldly junco]

Thanks for the feedback.
I had already found ZMerge, but unfortunately, it hasn't worked since the NextGen update, if I've researched correctly. It's causing an error for me... Or am I doing something wrong? Is there a workaround?

[hot chasm]

Should gameplay alterations like dead body collision, quick consume, no perk pop ups, legendary swap, pip light changes etc go above or below settlement and camping mods?

I don't know why zmerge wouldn't be working but you can also merge with xEdit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOT283m__UA

Are there any PC-Xbox porters in the house?

I'm an experienced modder on Skryim, and just got a copy of FO4 for PC - I'm gathering so far that modding for FO4 is quite similar to modding for Skyrim, but I have a few questions about how to pack archives, how to compress things properly, et cetera - all nuts and bolts questions.

If there's anyone here with experience doing that sort of thing, I'd really appreciate being able to pick your brain!

[calm glen]

Feel free to DM

[ruby wadi]

will do!

[ashen coyote]

Nice, im slowly working on a mod that adds a Church based faction to Fallout 4

this would go swimmingly with such a mod, provided I get it out (my main passion is making Skyrim Mods)

[uneven pollen]

Id be happy to let you use it, if you give credit ofc

[ashen coyote]

of course. Granted the mod is in its infancy, and is likely to stay that way for a while as I want to finish my Whiterun Hold series of mods first. so like 2-3 months before I can fully commit to this mod

[honest merlin]

[sour pine]

Anyone else not able to get access to the mods page on fo4 on Xbox? Keeps saying action incomplete or something and throws me to main menu

[ruby wadi]

All last night I couldn't either

Haven't tried yet today

[ruby wadi]

What causes this? It's been 24 hours since I've been able to set foot in the mod menu, after restarting my modem, hard restarting my Xbox, all that.

Also, and maybe related: why do I have two instances of reserved space?

I just cleared my reserved space to try and rebuild my load order and resume my playthrough, and a day later I can't use the mod menu?

[ruby wadi]

I don't suppose anyone would have any advice? even if that advice is "delete your reserved space again and start over again"

[thin cloud]

I'd recommend trying this: https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/44123

[ruby wadi]

aight so basically clear my reserved space and start again from scratch\

in that case, can anyone tell me why this happens, so I can avoid going through this again?

and I do apologize if I sound frustrated; I am.

[thin cloud]

Just be sure to use the provided article, and follow the steps as they are listed, even the ones you have already tried, as this will help narrow down what may be causing the issue. It could be something as simple as a Creation on your list may be conflicting with another Creation, or simply needs to be updated by the creator, so you will likely need to remove it for the time being.

[ruby wadi]

but if I can't get into the mod menu, I can't remove it

or even have any way of knowing which mod or mods is causing the issue

@thin cloud I keep reading that if a mod gets deleted by it's author, and that mod is still in your LO, that can cause it. Has that been fixed?

[thin cloud]

You will have to log into your account on the Bethesda page, go to your library, and remove it from there.

[ruby wadi]

my library on the bethesda page shows no mods

which makes sense, how could it see my LO on my xbox?

[thin cloud]

In that case, I'd recommend uninstalling the game completely, then reinstalling the game itself (no mods/Creations)

[thin cloud]

Do you have your Xbox GamerTag linked to your Bethesda account?

[ruby wadi]

yep

[thin cloud]

That's how

[ruby wadi]

it doesn't even show mods that I've uploaded to test things. does not show any of my load order, console-side.

[ruby wadi]

I asked this, because I deleted a mod from the bnet side before deleting it from my LO - could that be why this has happened, and if so why hasn't this problem been fixed?

[thin cloud]

Hence why I am suggesting uninstalling the game completely, and then reinstalling the game, and the game alone (no mods or Creations)

[thin cloud]

It has not been fixed because you need to uninstall the game completely to remove the corrupted files from your Xbox

[ruby wadi]

leaving my save data/reserved space intact?

[thin cloud]

No

what corrupts the file though, is what I'm asking

more to the point, how do I avoid this in the future?

I gather that I need to delete any mod I update from my load order before updating it through CK, or deleting it from bnet

[thin cloud]

You deleted a mod from the website, before removing it from your load order. The game then attempted to load a file that was no longer there. Hence why it is not working. This is why you need to uninstall the game completely and then install the game only so then you can go and remove the mod/creation from your load order so that you do not install it again.

[ruby wadi]

okay - thank you for that.

Why then, can a mod be deleted from bnet for skyrim, without it completely screwing over the Load Order of everyone that has that mod? When that happens on Skyrim, all that happens is that the name of the mod gets replaced with the .esp name.

Only for FO4 does this problem exist.

also - I can still play my save, even though the mod was deleted from Bnet the mod is still in my game files.

I do not have the specific details for that. I am only providing a possible solution. For that, you may want to contact our support team at https://help.bethesda.net/

only the mod menu becomes disabled when a mod is removed from bnet = problem with the mod menu

[ruby wadi]

maybe someone from bethesda is here on discord, who can answer this for me

If you look at my title, I am a Bethesda Moderator. For your question, that is more on the technical side, hence me recommending reaching out to our support team.

Have you tried to completely uninstall the game and all files yet?

[ruby wadi]

i know. I also see that there are folks from bethesda, that's who I meant. I've filled out tickets numerous times from the website and have never once recieved a satisfactory answer

[ruby wadi]

before I do that - is there anything I can leave intact? save data?

[thin cloud]

No. As I previously said, you need to uninstall the game completely and then install the game only. No Mods/Creations.

[ruby wadi]

great. so not only is my load order toast, but my saved games are as well.

[thin cloud]

No. Your save file is tied to your GamerTag. As for your load order, well, you deleted a mod from the website before removing it from in-game.

[ruby wadi]

oooookay, I misread what you were telling me.

I thought you were telling me to uninstall the game COMPLETELY - as in reserved space and saved data as well.
