“Lay the groundwork for things like additional storage for creations” so, what exactly does this mean? Will the 2gb limit be getting increased?

[covert pelican]

It means they're laying the groundwork for possibly doing that at some future date.

[lilac fog]

Question about Fallout New Vegas: I'm in the process of starting a modded playthrough and Vortex is showing an esp titled FalloutNV_lang.esp. Is that supposed to be there? I'm assuming it is which leads to my next question which is my current LO okay? My load order in Vortex currently is Fallout NVesm and the esms of all of it's relevant dlcs, YUP, and the esp.

[shell kernel]

HELO

who wants chips

[torn rampart]

is there gonna be extra modding space for console 🥹

[modest notch]

When will they add Star Wars Genesis full mod on console

[median steeple]

More likely than not. Not guaranteed.

[uncut plinth]

Hey guys, recently downloaded a bunch of mods for NV, namely Gopher's collections, but for some reason I can't adjust my HUD with oHUD but everything else seems to be working fine, any ideas?

[loud topaz]

Server Skyrim for mod is down?

[molten solstice]

Can you read

[willow path]

Yes

[dire light]

Where did it say that the bethesda.net creation club server is down?

[white harbor]

Back live with a brand old layout at the moment.

[willow path]

#modding-news

[modest ridge]

no more mod menu on ps4, does someone knows why?

[ancient latch]

mods and Creations have merged, so you should see them in the Creations menu

[rapid lagoon]

I’m sorry for asking, but why is the mods on Skyrim elder scrolls. It’s really not working for us. Does anyone know why?.

I’m on Xbox by the way sorry I forgot to mention that.

[ancient latch]

It likely due to the amount of traffic on the Creations servers. The Fallout 4 Anniversary Upgrade just dropped and that includes a ton of Creations being added to a ton of people's accounts all at once. So likely the server is just struggling to keep up right now.

[rapid lagoon]

Oh, OK. Thank you for letting me know.. do you mind if I give this information to a friend of mine?.

Just starting to worry about it.

[ancient latch]

Not at all! Just keep an eye out for updates here, if we get any new info it will be posted on this server

[rapid lagoon]

OK, thank you.

[lilac fog]

I'm trying to install a couple of mods called Plasma Pistol Redesign and Plasma Rifle Redesign for Fallout 3. Under the Install section on the mod's description page it says to make sure that I have "bInvalidateOlderFiles=1" in the Fallout.ini file. Is this something that I have to add and if so, where in the .ini file do I need to place it?

[fathom hare]

https://falloutck.uesp.net/wiki/Enable_Loose_Files

That's for Fallout 4 so you'll have to adjust for Fallout 3. It's the ini close to where your game saves are

[lilac fog]

How can it be for Fallout 4 when it came out before Fallout 4 came out?

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/6998?tab=posts&BH=1

[fathom hare]

Lmao, think harder and read. You will figure it out. I believe in you.

[lilac fog]

How about you just answer the question. If your not going to answer the question, don't respond.

[covert pelican]

Take a closer look at which game that mod is for 😛

[lilac fog]

The mod I just posted is for Fallout 3.

[covert pelican]

Yep, but you asked how it could be a mod for Fallout 4 before Fallout 4 existed.

[lilac fog]

That was the other guy.

[covert pelican]

That's not what my screen says.

[lilac fog]

Maybe scroll up and follow the conversation better from my initial post. I posted a question about the Plasma Rifle mod, the guy responded with a link to a wiki page for Fallout 4, which lead to my response.

[fathom hare]

Yea the page I linked is for Fallout 4 which is close enough to how it works in Fallout 3. What further info do you need?

[lilac fog]

I sorted it out.

[lilac fog]

Has the FOSE been updated to work with the most current version of Fallout 3? I was trying to start FO3 via Vortex, and I was getting an error message telling me that the version I installed was incompatible with the current version of FO3. Had to scrub the whole thing and start over with out the SE which the Updated Unofficial Patch needs. Now I have to redo my mods and load order without the SE and the UUOP.

[torn rampart]

i was really looking forward to more console mod space

[knotty temple]

Anyone know of a modder named by Kbobmasler01?

That did the HANSCOM AFB settlement mod

[molten solstice]

Bro, why is there no option to view most popular mods off all time in the creations tab, that's how you auctullay find the good mods/creations

[torn rampart]

so like when is the modding space for console gonna be increased

[whole pagoda]

hey quick question i wanna change the keybinding to dodge with the TK Dodge mod in Skyrim and need the key for the button since i have to change it in the ini does anyone of u know what the number for M5 is?

[pale monolith]

Configurations are saved for a mod that i wish to have. But every time I uninstall and reinstall those configurations are saved... how to fix?

[mint root]

0x100 256 Left Mouse Button

[radiant raptor]

100gb is gonna be pretty monumental for me on my xbox version of the game

I can finally make a whole classic fallout load order & get all of friedturkey & hcgxgrill’s mods lol

[glad cloak]

I'm excited to be able to run sim settlements 2 as a part of my LO and not the only thing I can play

[violet vortex]

Does anyone know if gun mods will conflict with the ae version

Like guns by csep or dak

[junior glade]

Any news about achievement friendly paid creations coming to skyrim? I'm excited that it came to Fallout 4!

[austere magnet]

Anyone else getting a Maintenance message when trying to launch the Wiki page for mods?

I'm trying to configure some settings with TK Dodge and I need to go to the website to find what the key codes are.

[silent warren]

I use their mods 24/7

[radiant raptor]

Genuinly some of the best classic 3D era mods to date

[hoary yoke]

So uh... Question, first time using BHUNP and Bodyslide. I'm kinda lost, following a video to explain what to do... My question is, how do I know what these options in the "Outfit/Body" dropdown are? It's just a bunch of names I've never seen before lmfao. Is there like a reference somewhere?

Nevermind... Digging made me find the preview button, now I'm kinda knowing what I'm doing... On a... very unrendered and no texture grey body mesh with no image all over it lol.

[obtuse hazel]

I'm currently looking to do a replacer gun for the deliverer but I cant think of one, the 10mm pistol is replaced by a glock the pipe gun grease gun, combat shotgun aa12, i need something for the deliverer im on xbox series x rn

[marsh pendant]

I'm stupid and I can't for the life of me figure out how to change FO4LODGEN output. The directions say to Use -o:"c:\OutputPath" command line parameter, but I don't know where the command line is. Surely is not talking about the command prompt for Windows?

Anyone kind enough to point me in the right direction?

[grizzled torrent]

Here's a detailed guide: https://themidnightride.moddinglinked.com/lod.html

[whole ice]

The original website is down since a long time already. The UESP Wiki has a mirror of it:
https://ck.uesp.net/wiki/Main_Page

[mint root]

its a lil clunky, but youll find the name and groups of wearables on bodyslide studio. then you use the bodyyou want. there are some good youtube tutorials, but man are they difficult to find

[mint root]

you can find keycodes for every button if you google it

[dense gazelle]

has anyone been able to downgrade the creation kit to the next gen version from last years? i managed to do it with the game but im having an issue with the creation kit

[hoary yoke]

I believe I made the character I want... And I clicked build meshes, but how do I use that character in-game?

[arctic badge]

Anyone familiar with the process of adding voices to some custom dialog? I've tried so many things but no matter what the audio will not play in game.

Things I have tried to fix the voice not playing:

Removing light flag from the esp.

Putting just an xbm and lip file instead of packing them in a fuz file.

Double checking name and file path.

Putting file path in the install for the mod in my mod manager instead of just leaving it loose manually installed in my data folder.

Doublechecking that the name of the file is the exact same.

Verifiying the wav file is mono 44.1k bitrate 16k before packing into fuz file.

Generated seq file and made sure it was being put in the right place.

Tried packing fuz file into bsa file while making sure not to enable compression.

Anyone got any idea why it's not working? I'm out of ideas at this point

[grizzled torrent]

On the quest check the box to give you a warning if the alias doesn't fill and make sure the quest has a dialogue priority of 15 or more. Then close the CK and open it back up to see if you get a warning about the alias. If it isn't filling, then you can go from there.

[arctic badge]

Went ahead and did that but I'm not seeing any relevant errors, the dialog I want to be said was added to somebody elses quest and the quest is getting errors for their dialog topics but nothing mentioning the dialog topic I added

[frosty ibex]

Hey question here since skyrim got external mods will fallout get it

[quick cedar]

it has it already, glup did his first test today(ig its actually yesterday technically) and confirmed it works the same as skyrim, problem now is cultivating a Playstation porting community for fallout

[frosty ibex]

Noice

[heady vault]

It might be the same community

[quick cedar]

probably yeah but we still need to cultivate a fallout side of it, im still down for the "breathing life into fallout" server someone mentioned earlier tho

[heady vault]

Could be cool too

[silk hearth]

I copied and pasted my Skyrim to my steam deck using Mega and now I can't get SKSE to open what am I doing wrong

[barren shard]

Hello gang, I wanted to join the server to ask a question before I spend my caps on the creation. When you respec with "Livelier Perks" does it give you back only the skill points after level 1 or does it give you the 21 you allocate when talking to Vault Dude in Santuary Hills when you started the game? Thank you!

[summer spade]

It doesn't touch the SPECIAL points, just the stuff you do for perks. I would hold off on it right now as respec is a little buggy, but he's working on updates.

Or you can get it cause the changes are fun, just ymmv.

[barren shard]

Yeah, I was going to get it regardless because I love supportive creators. (He also answered me on his server which is super cool!)

[summer spade]

Heck yeah

[silk hearth]

I got my Skyrim working on my steam deck. The only issue is not being able to operate my mod manager. Can someone help me?

[distant jetty]

Does anyone know how to modify or overwrite the player death event for starfield?

[unborn pendant]

google modorganizer2-linux-installer and there's a github page with scripts and guides on how to do it

[silk hearth]

I'm more of a vortex person

[unborn pendant]

could probably use steamtinkerlaunch then i think but not sure as i don't use vortex

[silk hearth]

as it is, I got a new problem. I did not account for. I have no voices or music.

[hoary yoke]

Is there a way to organize my mod load order? Like I'm about to download 52 mods all about animations from one guy called "Vanargand"... is there a way to put all 52 in one big folder? In MO2 btw.

[rose oak]

im having problems with bae again

when I drag the files in the bae they wont show up only happens with fo4 meshes, textures and creation club content

can someone help me?

[covert pelican]

BAE doesn't support the BA2 file formats in either the 980/984 updates or the one from last week.

[grizzled torrent]

Try this one instead: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/17061?tab=description I'm still using the version from 2018 or so and it's opening the archives just fine.

I should probably update it.

[rose oak]

Do you think it’s because it was in 86 archieves?

[rose oak]

You’re the guy who made it?

[grizzled torrent]

What? No. I'm using the version from 2018. It's had many updates since then. lol

[rose oak]

Ah, I misunderstood

[grizzled torrent]

lol no worries. I miscommunicated.

[covert pelican]

Does that app also work for Starfield?

[grizzled torrent]

I've not tried it. Archive 2 was working there for me but that version of Archive 2 was keeping Archive 2 for FO4 from working on my rig.

[covert pelican]

Might have to give it a try then. BAE is annoying me by not being able to open current level archives for FO4.

[grizzled torrent]

I just tried it. Can confirm that it opens the archives for Starfield but as far as extraction, that I'm not sure about.

(My version - 1.9.5) I still need to update it and check.

[covert pelican]

Blah. No. It didn't work for extracting Starfield files. They all came out as 0 bytes.

[grizzled torrent]

Ew. Well, it opened them so you can see if things are archived properly at least.

[covert pelican]

Yep, which is usually good enough for my purposes.

[grizzled torrent]

Ohh. It also opens the xbox archives.

[supple patio]

@real sphinx hi there sorry to ask but with the new beta testing for external assets on playstation last month will it(the beta testing ) also effect any future mods for fallout ?

[rose oak]

@grizzled torrent hey bro i found a solution

Using another extractor was the only way I found

[grizzled torrent]

Which one?

[solar rapids]

Can anyone recommend some PS5 mods for Fallout 4 that make the game world look visually similar to Fallout 3? With that apocalyptic atmosphere you feel everywhere and that nostalgic green tint… thanks everyone!

[real sphinx]

At this time, we've only announced limited external asset support for Skyrim. But if we're able to do something similar, we'll definitely post it in #modding-news

[frosty ibex]

I can't wait for cbbe come to ps5

[covert pelican]

CBBE tends to be viewed as adult content so don't count to heavily on that.

It's also exactly the kind of thing Sony is paranoid about.

[peak acorn]

but there's a sfw avaiable on nexus

[chilly prism]

I thought it was the sound licensing they had a problem with?

[covert pelican]

That wouldn't surprise me, but Sony has always been paranoid about these things in general ever since their last big PSN hack.

[gaunt marsh]

Why isn't there a Creation Kit channel on this server?

[gaunt marsh]

#modding-general message
"big PSN hack" should not be a thing that exists. No one ever hacked my N64. But seriously, folks! I'm here all week!
I know why they say it is a thing, and why it really is a thing. They say it's because they want their platform to be compatible. But let's be honest, Sony really doesn't care about compatibility. What is it really?

[rare fractal]

Hi all, I've been tinkering with the Fallout 4 Creation Kit and I ran into an issue.
For some reason I can only paint 4 textures per quad, as opposed to the standard 6.

Anyone familiar with this issue and fixes for it? Googling the issue has resulted in nothing much.

[radiant raptor]

Im guessing Fallout 4 is able to have External assets on PS5 now? I see that FCOM & Beast Master made its way on there

[dawn mirage]

Slowly but surely it's working it's way there thank god

I hope it gets the weapon mods and animation mods as well and face and body textures too

[rare fractal]

Resolved.

I'm told you can have 4 different textures.
Then 2 slots can be of landscape textures that look the same but have different grass settings.

So 6 slots, containing a maximum of 4 textures, 6 grass settings.

[wary fractal]

That's wonderful! I always wanted to play with these two ^^

[errant solstice]

Hey @devout flume could I perhaps DM you about a mod for a non Bethesda game that involves Fallout? There's a situation that happened and I'm trying to get some clarifications if possible.. I would love to get to get some help with this! Even just pointing me to the right person would help a lot!

[thorn laurel]

Can yall stop telling me that you can make me a mod that I requested THREE MONTHS ago? I get so many dms that I copied a generic message to my clipboard saying "No thanks, im good without the mod. The game is still peak without it. Ill contact you if I change my mind or want a different mod made"

[quick cedar]

its apparently been able to have external asset mods for awhile just no one wanted to/knew how to give it the love it deserved

[radiant cipher]

Is creation menu on PlayStation bugged for anyone else? Like it wont load

[cobalt sluice]

Same treatment with Xbox.

[radiant cipher]

great

Hoping it gets fixed quickly

[cobalt sluice]

Actually, it's working for me now.

[radiant cipher]

🙁

[cobalt sluice]

All I did was delete reserved space.

[radiant cipher]

Reserve space?

[radiant cipher]

Fr i want custom stuff to use and wear

[cobalt sluice]

I don't know how it works for playstation.

And my fix didn't last.

[radiant cipher]

oh

Guess we gotta wait for Bethesda sigh

[tulip ocean]

it bugged for me on pc and xbox

[honest pumice]

Somebody get some tanks and get them into the offices

[tulip ocean]

anyone else having a issue after downloading creations mods. backing out and running the mod list thing on main menu and then go back and the cc crashes the game and you get back in it crashes at the menu. edit i think got it fixed...

[lusty spoke]

Hello guys
Am sorry if this is not a good t o post, but am looking for someone that can import me models into the game

[weary tulip]

I will leave a request here and if someone with talent exists i will own them my soul, can someone re-create the 50 cal from Fallout 76

A 50 cal machine gun for Fallout 4

[dawn mirage]

Requesting if someone could do a USP 9mm from MGS2 the one Snake has in the Tanker with the laser aiming module/LAM with 15 rounds per mag and the same iron sight that the gun has in the game and a cool but not too fancy animation if possible

[weary tulip]

I think that exists already but not the exact replica of MGS2

[dawn mirage]

Sounds not bad tbh

[dawn mirage]

It doesn't look like that one or have a LAM Attachment sadly more the fact it doesn't have the LAM

[weary tulip]

Yeah i know

[dawn mirage]

Yeah

[weary tulip]

At least the pepper shaker was created

[dawn mirage]

Huh

[weary tulip]

Fallout 76?

You dont know it?

[dawn mirage]

I've played 76 but can't remember what your talking about

[weary tulip]

Its the minigun with the shotgun shells

[dawn mirage]

Damm sounds op

[weary tulip]

Yeah it can shoot laser and plasma too

[dawn mirage]

Nice

[weary tulip]

You must not have played a lot

[dawn mirage]

I've done the raid and got the Power armour set and the weapon plans and that been around the game but i don't know a lot about the unique weapons out there

[radiant raptor]

GB limit increase delayed on xbox 🙃

[dawn mirage]

I know sadly

[sand pagoda]

Does anyone know if theres a mod for ps4 thatll get rid of the rad weather in the glowing sea im thinking of a idea

[summer spade]

to be fair you only get the peppershaker from doing meat week and not everyone cares about meat week.

[weary tulip]

fair but ive seen tons of people doing it

[summer spade]

I still haven't had it drop. I had to buy one off of a vendor lol.

[dawn mirage]

Requesting if someone could do a USP 9mm from MGS2 the one Snake has in the Tanker and maybe the gun sound effects from the game if possible with the laser aiming module/LAM with 15 rounds per mag and the same iron sight that the gun has in the game and a cool but not too fancy animation if possible I'd be very grateful and tell you that the mod would not leave my load order as its a mod I've been wanting too see for a long time

[azure radish]

Message to the mods, is there a reason you guys purged every single CBBE skin or face replacer in Creations yesterday? You have a lot of angry people on the modding forums on reddit right now who are saying you guys pulled a bunch of mods over false claims of nudity without proper investigation. We'd like an official comment on this

[fathom hare]

How many people is a lot of people?

[covert pelican]

Not seeing anything about it in the usual places.

[grizzled torrent]

Did you consolidate the Xbox and PC versions to one file? Because there's a bug with the UI that will auto delete it from everything if you do that. It's supposed to be fixed Nov. 24th. Here are the patch notes.

[proper wharf]

Does anyone know why if I install more then 95 mods on console anniversary edition it will crash when I launch the game ?

[dapper sinew]

Do any modders here know if there is a mod that lets you crawl or prone in Skyrim? Modders made a mod for Morrowind where you can do that.

[stone bay]

Sneak Behavior Extensions

[odd wharf]

Are you showing mods in your in-game library that you're not using? I was able to get up to 115 and then had the same thing happen. I counted all of the mods in the library as well as CC items and was at 256 with 116 added. I can use 115 no problem though.
I assume it's the 255 esp limit but I may be incorrect. (This is also assuming that the skins are a type of esl).

[dapper sinew]

WOW! Thanks now if only one like this existed for original 2006 Oblivion.

[proper wharf]

I have no idea what it could be I was using the America rising 2 mod and found out it was broke. And thought that was the reason but it does it no matter what I think it was broken

[cinder garden]

It won't let me load mods that need the dlc again. BETHESDA WHAT DID YOU DO?!
Edit: Only CC content was missing weird false alarm.

[zinc delta]

Give this a shot: https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/33062

[cinder garden]

Oh it just uninstalled all CC content for... some reason? (Also on PC)

[floral cape]

There was an accidental patch earlier that pushed the GOG version and I think a good percentage of the CC modules, the second steam patch probably cleared it all, just redownload it all again

[covert pelican]

Man, it sounds like I dodged a bullet by not being on at the second the patch dropped.

[crude sparrow]

Does anyone know how to fix the become a bounty hunter quest kelly isn't spawning for me

[gentle owl]

can beth explain how the fallout 4 deleting all mods will work,how does the f4 load order archive work with older mods that arent on beth site anymore or for unreleased mods.will the whole mod load order get uploaded to storage or just a list that redownloads mods currently on the store

[glad cloak]

Just a list that downloads what's available

[gentle owl]

are you sure

[glad cloak]

As far as I've experienced, it doesn't save mods that aren't unlisted

[junior sinew]

Anyone else having issues with the new bounty hunter creation/mod being soft locked? On Xbox series X - on the quest where you have to kill the first batch of bounties, Ned and Kelly specifically. Kelly just doesn’t appear anywhere in the building she’s supposed to be in. Her quest marker just leads me to an empty elevator.

[tender cipher]

I think this must be the issue as I'm having it too. All the cc, but downloading from my library which has 260 + mods on Bethesda net, or loading my saved load order which was at 193 before got all screwed up with the patch the other day, it only downloads up to 115 to 120 of my mods. And the library within the creations menu only shows 100 of my mods, same with bookmarks. Although if I go to the Bethesda page it will show all the cc content 150+ items. I'm honestly thinking it's a mix of the 255 limit possibly still, and that the creations menu isn't optimized to show or even search and pull from more than a small section of its database.
They need to make a way to set my library on the Bethesdanet site then reorder it how I want and save that load order to be used across platforms. Console mod reorganizing is a headache. I spent 7 hours on my day off getting it perfect and playable without crashing, just to have it all unorder itself and not recognize that some were installed.

[thorn laurel]

So yall know about the mechanist having an object on one of the arms that resembles a pip boy, correct? But when the sole survivor equips the mechanist armor, it simply disappears. Is there a mod that adds an option to the mechanist armor that allows the pip boy to be replaced by the sleeve? I dont want to keep my pip boy chrome, I just want to be able to wear the armor and have a cool new pip boy for just that outfit.

[slow fulcrum]

Does anyone know why in fallout 4 when I go to download my creations they say they are downloaded but then when I go into my save they aren’t there and I have to to download them again?

[pseudo edge]

Does anyone have idea why the thunderbolt quest isn't spawning when I went to the location?

[gentle owl]

i havent tried f4 with the update but for skyrim (on xbox) when you download a mod you have to leave the store and then go offline then to your lo and turn the mod on and place it in the lo

[shadow blaze]

I’m getting this too!!!!

I’ve been testing this for months. Do you have the anniversary edition content enabled? I think that counts towards the number

[prime jetty]

You’re likely at the ba2 limit. loading more than 256 main archives or texture archives will crash the game on startup

[cyan prism]

You're at the BA2 limit

Anyway, anyone know how to solve my issue?

I want to find an item placed in the world by the mod, and I want to teleport to that item. I am using xEdit (I don't have access to CK, need to downgrade it).

I understand I need the " player.moveto " command, I'm not really understanding what exactly I'm looking for in terms of a code to teleport to

[shadow blaze]

I’m only using munitions and Dak weapon mods alongside all CC content. Do you still think this is the case?

Thanks so much for replying, I never knew what this limit was called

[honest pumice]

Hey is the sanctuary in starlight Drive-In deep clean mods old? I have the VilanceD library plug-in that is required but both of them aren't working, as the settlement borders for both settlements are not working and I don't know how to fix it

[floral cape]

I don't think VilanceD has updated them in recent memory

[honest pumice]

I don't know what to do and I haven't used them before.

I'm using a settlement border mods like settlement borders extended and the mod all settlements extended and the DLC add-on by Neheer

I don't know what's conflicting and I hate when stuff conflict with one another

[floral cape]

The precombine mesh sets that ship with VilanceD's mod series is somewhat outdated, sadly and need rebuilt against 'modern' standards. Settlement borders though have to be considered at generation time to be of use outside of specific settings with the actual borders as far as I remember

I think the Rebuild series by Aurie might be better, but I haven't played with it very much

[honest pumice]

Damn it there's not a lot of good mods on Xbox that rebuild the settlements.

And I'm on Xbox so I'm not sure if I can find the rebuild series

[floral cape]

Oh, then never mind, thought you were on PC. :(

[dawn mirage]

Fallout 3 isn't starting with mods installed it just backs out

[floral cape]

Settlement rebuild mods do a lot of precombine related mesh work sadly, which inflates the filesize considerably

[honest pumice]

That's what I mean there's not a lot of good mods that rebuild the settlements and I don't know what else there is

I'm getting mad that there's nothing new and nothing good for those

[floral cape]

Maybe that will change when the 100GB storage update is out

The mods do exist, just not on bethnet due to size limitations

[honest pumice]

WHEN?

I'm already losing all of my freaking hope for that update so I might as well just quit fallout 4 until they actually do something about the damn game

[floral cape]

Supposedly in December (was supposed to be in the last patch, but delayed for what I assume is technical issues that forced the delay)

[honest pumice]

You do realize they're trying to shutter that idea??

I'm literally getting freaking impatient that they're not doing it already like the initially said they would do 10 years ago

[floral cape]

No, I actually believe it will happen. It's just of matter of when and how.

[honest pumice]

Exactly which means they're trying to delay it indefinitely.

They need to get off their LAZY ASSES and get to work! I'm literally over it and done with waiting for these kind of updates.

[grand dust]

im sure they are working hard to get this 100gb update out as quickly and as bug free as possible, however this is a big undertaking and does require time. just because you dont think there working fast enough doesnt give you the right to call them lazy.

[floral cape]

To be fair, I'm sure like 90% of the devs are like most of us and having turkey and ham dinners with their families today.

[grand dust]

true, not in the uk though. we dont do this holiday.

[floral cape]

Right, does the UK even have something similar, or is it just an american custom?

[grand dust]

i dont think so? if we do, i dont know about it, so it must be a american thing

[honest pumice]

Excuse the hell out of me.

On another note, the extended settlement borders from settlement board is extended and all settlements extended mods are now borked and I can't find the conflicting mod

I need some help please

[cyan prism]

Strictly American and Canadian, since the holiday is rooted in colonialism

[untold hawk]

As an Australian - should I be offended - all we got was a visit from King Charles, but that was mostly so he could skip the last year of school, or first year of college - something like that 😅

[errant verge]

Any modder or porter in here, I have two finished custom models (Gen 1 and Gen 2 Synth replacements). I just need them rigged, optimized, and imported into Fallout 4 so they work in game with the right animations and textures.

[brisk lantern]

As an Australian.... we dont care about the royal family at all, we care about COAL and BEER.

[spiral willow]

Hi there hope everything is alright with you! So I asked the wrong chanel and sorry for that. Just would like to know if someone is working on a mod to make the armor on the outfit from Sea Scavengers creation club content. I used a glitch to make it possible but I can't do it today... and also put the balistic wave on. Because we can't. Thank you so much if you can and I'm on PlayStation system.

[silent warren]

I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips for modding on fo4 I'm extremely new to it

[grizzled torrent]

Welcome to modding!

Plan what type of character you want to play and then find mods that fit.
Currently you're limited to 2 GB/~1.862 GiB of file space and you need the size of the mod twice in order to download. So plan for that too.
Modding BGS games has a load order. Keep like mods with like mods so you can tell if something is going to conflict in a way that keeps the mod installed first from functioning. Some mods require other mods to function. Read the descriptions to confirm if you need to install something before the mod of your choice and then patches and add ons are installed after (or below) the mods they patch.

All mods are plugins to the game.

Once you figure out your load order, don't change it during game play. The game doesn't support plugin removal. Mods sometimes come with uninstall functions but it's still not a good practice to remove things because there's no support built into the game for it. Such as removing quest mods or those that add new weapons or armors with all new legendary effects.

[inland swift]

What is the reason why Bethesda archives only compress textures and other data (meshes, sounds, etc.) are archived but not compressed?

[floral cape]

Certain file types don't work when compressed.

[hybrid mural]

Guys

What do you guys think of dae and their modpacks?

[honest pumice]

Hey I'm wondering how I could resolve this:

I have OC decorator installed, and it recommends you to reload it somewhere in your load order to get around the workshop menu conflict.

And not knowing how to do this, I don't know what to do and how to solve it.

[grizzled torrent]

OC decorator requires a patch to work with the current game menu. It was created before Creation Club came out and added to the menus. You will need xEdit to resolve the load order conflict with a patch.

Unless someone created a patch for you and then you'd just install the patch below OCDecorator and the menu it is overriding.

I prefer Creative Clutter over OCDecorator. The menu is script injected and the designs for the clutter are well thought out by that team.

[grizzled torrent]

You're in luck: There's a patch for OCDecorator and SMM: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/72254?tab=files

Only install the one you need, not all 258.

[glad cloak]

I think they're unfortunately not on PC

[grizzled torrent]

Ah. I was going by what roles they had. Was not sure if they were PC or Xbox or both.

[shell kernel]

WSP

[honest pumice]

I'm just mad that I don't know how to Port anything and this won't be able to get on Xbox

[grizzled torrent]

I didn't check the bethesda website. I found that with a simple google search. See if it's on Bethesda.net already. If not, go contact the author and see if they will upload it.

[inland swift]

I understand that. What I’m asking is why. Why can't Bethesda develop a format where stuff gets compressed

60% of space Starfield takes up on disc is the uncompressed archives. Only 40% are compressed textures.

[hybrid mural]

question

shoudl i pick a modpack from nexus directly, or use wabbajack?

[prime jetty]

Some data doesn’t work when compressed, but you can enable main compression with other tools such as bsarchpro. it can halve the main archive file size in some cases

[floral cape]

BsArchPro can do per file compression, which helps deal with the symptom.

[honest pumice]

I need help with an issue that I'm now having:

This is my first time playing survival and with mods, but whenever I try to go up to Salem naturally, without going and visiting the rest home and the museum, and teleporting straight there into the cell, Barney rook does not even appear in the quest doesn't even trigger.

I don't know what to do and I'm freaking out.

[grizzled torrent]

Teleporting around triggers breaks quests and is a terrible practice. You only do that to test if interior cells are put together properly during development. Since you’re playing and not developing the game, you’ve broken it.

Start a new game and don’t cheat into places and skip the triggers.

[honest pumice]

Dude I don't even make mods

[grizzled torrent]

That’s what I said and why you shouldn’t be bypassing quest triggers. Start a new game. That one’s hosed.

[honest pumice]

And because of what you told me to do I've lost a lot of freaking progress!

And does that mean I shouldn't even be using cheat terminal either??

[grizzled torrent]

I’m sorry you broke your game. It is very frustrating. Cheat mods break things, man.

Mods are used at your own risk. Have fun with them and then make new games to sample them all.

[grizzled torrent]

I wouldn’t on survival mode. No. Survival Mode has plenty of expansions out there that conflict. Look at SKK.50’s selection for interesting things for survival mode.

[honest pumice]

For what?

What things are there for survival mode?

[shy girder]

You’ve gotta put in legwork to research this, my dude. SKK is a popular mod author. So you can start there.

But you know… Google. The Fallout 4 mods Xbox subreddit can provide answers too.

Not trying to be rude but sometimes you have to take the initiative to look for some of that.

Questions like the one about Salem is fine to ask since it’s a bug that likely occurred from your LO. I’m happy to help when things like that come up and I can answer. I’m sure others are too.

[honest pumice]

I'm using a different browser than Google because I don't like giving out my personal information.

But I did find skk survival utilities – Is there more like this mod?

[grizzled torrent]

Well, what type of game do you want to play? What type of survival mode? You obviously don’t even like it if you’re using a cheat mod to get through it. Figure out what game you want to play first and then put together a list from a search of mods with the keywords from your list. Bethesda.net has a search feature.

Google isn’t a browser. It’s a search engine. I use DuckDuckGo. I hate AI.

[shy girder]

I’m sure there are. I don’t play survival so I don’t have a ton of experience there. However, there are some mods that I enjoy which could be helpful since fast traveling isn’t an option.

N.E.S.T Survival Bunkers
Makeshift Homes
Settlements Reborn

There’s also some interesting game changes that I found with a quick search on Bethesda.net like one that changes combat settings back to normal but keeps all other aspects of survival mode. I would recommend doing some searching either through a search engine or on Beth’s website.

[nimble wren]

Im new to the creation kit, what does this mean
"DEFAULT: We have lost some logs! reinjecting... lost: 1
DEFAULT: We have lost some logs! reinjecting... lost: 2", its in the warnings window, and what should i do about it?
it happens when i open it btw

[twilit terrace]

Had a crazy thought, would it be possible to use the CK on the steam machine you think? Just like hypothetically

[grizzled torrent]

Ignore it. It’s been doing that a while.

[nimble wren]

the gabe cube is basically a pc using linux from what i heard

[unreal swallow]

Survival in fallout changes how items spawn right? Is there like a mod that helps match the regular item respawn. And I seen SKKs mod that looks like it would help

[grizzled torrent]

It increases the world reset time to I think 144 in game days. If that’s what you’re speaking of. The other rate is setting the difficulty level (thus: survival mode) that influences other factors including what is spawned. SKK plays on survival so has a bunch of goodies to enhance the mode. Bionicyardiff also has some. I’ve been out of the loop for a bit creating instead of playing this year so I am not up to date on what’s currently available.

[unreal swallow]

[honest pumice]

Hello, are any of you in Dak's Discord? He locked it behind a patreon paywall and I can't get my complaint through about the crashing issue I have with the Winchester 1907

It crashes my game every time I fire the new ammo type.

[junior mica]

Do you have munitions installed?

If not either download munitions, or try the vanilla ammo patch someone made, if the crash still happens it may be a load order conflict?

[honest pumice]

I already have downloaded munitions that's not the problem.

[prime jetty]

do you have weapon debris enabled?

[junior mica]

That was my next guess, otherwise I’d try downloading the separate vanilla ammo patch, to see if it’s isolated to that weapon with that ammunition, are you on Xbox or pc as well? Sadly not on the discord, and if it’s pc I would say to file a bug report on nexus, after looking myself no one else seems to have an issue with that weapon on firing and having crashes, so best look into the incident in case it’s isolated to your LO

[serene obsidian]

considering there is a modding channel, im assuming using mods is safe?

[deep radish]

define safe

[serene obsidian]

not getting banned would generally be safe

[deep radish]

in that case then yeah no problem

[ocean lantern]

Im trying to make a custom Word of Power for Skyrim that "Banishes" anyone you hit with it, the tutorial im using requires a spell to be copied as its an easier path than making a whole new spell. Are there any spells thats purpose is to incinerate a person entireley?

[honest pumice]

Hey I'm asking if anybody has seen a munitions version of the mg3

[junior mica]

Do you mean like installing them? If so which platform do you use? Or do you mean to chat about? In which case as long as it’s nothing inappropriate it’s all good

[serene obsidian]

Well im using nexus, i just wanted to make sure im not gonna wake up banned tomorrow

[junior mica]

Oh ahah, yea, of course be always cautious EVEN on nexus, every once and a while (although very rarely) someone while trying to to drop a virus instead of a mod and disguise it, it’ll normally promise HUGE things, and be like only a tiny amount of memory, these mods don’t stay up long and get taken down very fast, so if unsure check the modders profile to see how many mods they’ve published! Normally a good indicator! Unless it’s a lot in a short time! Chatting about mods here is all good though you won’t get banned from this discord as far as I’m aware

[honest pumice]

I was able to re-enable my mods after I couldn't enable them temporarily, but the game broke my load order to the point where the colored satellite map for my Pip-Boy isnt colored and is not working right.

I am mad at fallout 4 right now because it broke my load order.

I don't know how to get the satellite map working again.

[shy girder]

Without additional context, I don’t know what’s happening. It sounds to me like your load order is not properly optimized. Did you follow the proper load order template? Are you adding a bunch of mods mid-game?

Why did you disable mods? What was happening when you tried to re-enable them but couldn’t? How were you able to overcome that?

Fo4 isn’t to blame. As easy as it is to cast shade at the game, an improperly optimized LO (structure, no conflicting mods, etc.) will cause issues, some of which will only become apparent as your save progressed since more data is being processed with the save.

I’m telling you, try to make use of the subreddit I gave you previously. There’s a lot of really great resources and load order examples there.

[honest pumice]

I did follow one of the load order examples from the subreddit, and I had to reload everything back to where they were before

But the only issue I'm having since everything is working right at the moment, is how the marker for the player is a map marker rather than a small little arrow pointer

[shy girder]

But why? What happened that caused you to have to reorder?

What were the events that lead to that?

[honest pumice]

I don't know how, but some of my mods got disabled on their own—I was right in the middle of building at sunshine tidings co-op, and I exited the game for a minute to talk to a friend in a party.

When I reloaded the game, however, I tried to continue and it said some of my mods were disabled—and yes, I re-enabled those and I was able to continue my game.

But when I opened up my Pip-Boy to see if the satellite map was working, it was all orange instead of the color it should have been in the pictures for the mod itself.

I had to redownload those after deleting, closing my game to the dashboard and reopening it.

The names of map markers aren't lining up with the same color as the white map markers themselves, and arrow that marks the player is and where they're looking is a map marker.

I'm just really frustrated and angry right now because of the mod space increase being delayed and us not knowing when it will release.

But yeah, those were the events about what happened.

@shy girder

[shy girder]

Are you using any map, pip-boy, or FOV mods?

[honest pumice]

It was only the satellite world map

[shy girder]

Found this on that subreddit after searching:

Satellite world map is nice but the map is always misaligned for me no matter how low I put it in the load order. Idk if it's a quirk with the series s or a mod conflict but I'd definitely run a test game to see if it's working properly.

[honest pumice]

Everything is working correctly except for the arrow pointer for the main player

Even after trying to load up a new game, I tested it and the main players arrow marker is still a map marker for a cave.

I don't know what to do, and I'm starting to freak the hell out
@shy girder

[shy girder]

Just… don’t use the mod?

[honest pumice]

This smart is basically essential for my games now, and now I can't even use it?

[shy girder]

What? Why is a satellite mod essential?

[honest pumice]

Because the vanilla map sucks ass, and I need to see which location is which.

[shy girder]

Then I don’t know how else to help you. Either use the mod and deal with the issue or don’t.

You could try moving the mod further down your LO or switch to a different map mod.

[ancient latch]

Please do not spam emojis

[lofty thunder]

question, how do i enable loose files?
(im very new to fallout 4 and fallout modding as a whole)

[floral cape]

If I recall, the original satellite map mod has a known issue where the coordinates assigned are off slightly, and another mod author fixed it.

I do not know what the porting situation is with it.

[sweet sun]

I did the XBox (Series X) update to FO4 and it is now having a CTD problem when downloading the mods. I only have about 15, but after the fifth or sixth mod it crashes back to the home screen. It's not when launching the game, it's in the mod pages prior to starting to play the game.

Tried a reset, cache clear, full uninstall and reinstall, but still happening. the XBox One in the caravan (RV) is working fine. Really don't want to have to go out to the caravan just to play FO. Is anyone else seeing this problem?

[shy girder]

I know that the Creations menu was having a bit of a problem today (at least for me). Maybe give it another go tomorrow?

Are any of the mods “heavy” or majorly conflicting? Do you disable each one as soon as you download or leave them enabled?

[twilit terrace]

Honestly I hate that it’s been so long without actual Bethesda content all I look out for is mods these days. Like don’t get me wrong there’s so much content there but maaaan I just want some official developer made content for their games.

Like with how many people still play fallout 4 I dunno why they just didn’t make more official dlc throughout the years

Restore cut content or flesh out ideas before the game launched and add them in

[shy girder]

Shareholder priorities, would be my guess. They can squeeze more money out of the game through Creations than dedicating the resources necessary for more official expansions. This also frees up teams for other projects that they may have in the works.

I totally agree though. I really wish the AE version had all the cut content from the game.

[twilit terrace]

Yeah but it gives me hardly any faith in any new projects 🙁 like creations and mods are great super cool but like Starfield where a lot of stuff should’ve been in the game originally is put in by mod authors it’s like…the community has more passion and vision than the studio

And honestly that’s why I buy so many creations like I want new content and paid mods feel like pseudo dlc and kind of fills in the hole but it’s not the same. There’s very few mods that people are going to look back on and remember that were pivotal for the games unlike dlcs. Like everyone remembers DLCs from the past fallouts and memories they have.

And the thing is they already have teams, kinggath, hobgoblin, nova with vigilance. While all great creation authors, if their creations were actual DLCs more integrated to the game as such they’d be even bigger hits

[shy girder]

I think Starfield is a bit of an enigma, to be honest. We may never know what happened with that game but I think it’s clear that there was a lot of passionate ideas that were started but couldn’t be fully implemented by release. Almost like at the beginning, no one narrowed the scope of the project.

I agree with the creations part as well. I don’t mind spending money on a game I intend to play.

You make a good point with mod teams. My guess is that they all have regular jobs on top of modding so they can’t dedicate that much time for fully fleshed out DLC and even then, it wouldn’t be in BGS’s dime.

Are they contract workers? Like how that work?

Wait, that might be borderline against the rules to talk about. Doesn’t really matter I guess.

[twilit terrace]

I don’t know it just, makes me sad. Clearly these games have outlived what was planned for them, and instead of capitalizing on that and making new content that would bring in more money they outsource it for whatever reason and it just feels sad. Like we’re treating these games as pseudo live service in a way but it’s half baked in its implementation and effort.

I’m still going to get creations, lots of good stuff to still be released but I don’t know, I feel like I worry more about what mods to get or how my load order looks than actually playing the game itself cause it’s unsatisfying, and I’m sure that’s a me issue as well.

[shy girder]

Brother, I am with you on that. Between Skyrim, Starfield, and Fo4, I probably have hundreds of hours in the Creations menu and dozens in game.

[twilit terrace]

Heck I’ve paid more for mods than I paid for the game and DLCs at this point

[honest pumice]

I'm trying not to be angry but I would trying to get help on an issue in my fallout 4 game.

I was currently doing the sanctuary quest where you build up defenses and shelter for sanctuary hills, and right after I built some beds, I went to talk to Sturgis and the quest log wouldn't update.

It wouldn't update to where I wouldn't be able to build the defenses to progress the quest, so I need help with what went wrong.

[honest pumice]

Hey I can't trigger the Salem quest again. I didn't teleport or use cheat terminal to do anything, I don't know what to do.

[sweet sun]

Have you tried clearing the cache and reloading a save prior to being given that quest?

[summer spade]

I think I had this issue once before cause I had prebuilt stuff. Remove all the stuff you build and just rebuild it and it should hopefully fix itself

[upbeat eagle]

Is there any kind of answer to why even if you just purchase on Xbox the GOTY without the creations bundle you automatically show 3gb in downloads?

[shy girder]

It’s a visual bug. If you clear your reserve space, it goes back to 2. Not sure why it does it but that’s alas.

But if you clear the reserve, all your mods are cleared. Just in case you weren’t aware.

[sweet sun]

Not really, it's happening in Creation Club as well as the open source mod menu. Only on the XBox X, the XBox One is fine. I can get four to download and run okay, but the 5th instantly CTD's. Even when doing one at a time in the DL. Does not matter what ones I pick.

[shy girder]

It is a bug that several people reported in a subreddit. Once I cleared my reserve space, it went away.
I’m not sure what else to tell you.

[sweet sun]

I'll give that another try.

[honest pumice]

Hey so I can't re-enable my mods since I had to clear my reserved space, is there anything I can do as an Xbox player?

[shy girder]

Did you redownload them?

[honest pumice]

Yes—I have downloaded all of them, including my creation club mods.

But the thing is, now the virtual workshop creation isn't working; it's not wanting to enable after I downloaded it.

It's the only one not working in my load order

[honest pumice]

@shy girder , I need some help please

[shy girder]

What’s up?

[sweet sun]

So on XBox X, I completely removed FO4, cleared the cache restarted the box, installed FO4, cleared the reserved space and cache again, restarted and then tried loading CC mods. Was able to install all the CC mods and launch FO4.
Have not tried any of the open mods yet but it's looking good so far.

[elfin prawn]

I guess it's safe to say the CK wiki is permadead?

[sudden oasis]

It's hiding.

[rich kiln]

Until they make an official statement on the matter, no.

A noticeably updated version of the CK wiki did go live for a period of time a long while back, before being taken down again for reasons unknown. At the very least it demonstrated that some sort of work had been done on it. I'm cautiously optimistic that at some point they'd complete it and have it go live again, but there's just no way to know if/when that would be. Until then we just have to make do with the UESP backup mirrors of the old wikis.

[honest pumice]

Never mind, I found out that you can still use VR workshop, but it won't be enabled in the creations menu.

[honest pumice]

Sorry about the anger earlier

On another note, Does anybody know when Virtual Workshop will be fixed or do I have to make a ticket

Hello, I saw Heretic + Hexen says they support modding? I remember playing those games decades ago I wanted to see about making a mod for them now that I am a videogame modder

but there is like literally no resources about it anywhere, apart from like the modding guidelines for all Bethesda games

admittedly I have yet to download and install them in my PS5 so I havent seen if the actual modding developing kit is included in the game, or linked to in a menu somewhere

[slow thorn]

Is Havok Sim disabled now in the Starfield CK? I've heard others say it was working and then it stopped working. Has anyoen got it to work recently?

Seems helpful for placing some items

For me, running havok sim on any physics enabled item just drops it through the environment, passing it through all objects as if it has no collision.

[hushed shard]

[modest notch]

I really want someone to add Baylan Skoll and Shin Hatti outfits and lightsabers to creations and a mod that allows you to learn and use all 7 lightsaber combat forms so it feels more real also adding more Star Wars ships full sized like a full sized and fully skinned Ghost (as seen in rebels) using Falkland system parts and new republic cruisers (Ahsoka), an owl tech imperial light cruiser (as seen in Mandalorian). And we need more mods that add more planets from Star Wars, Star Trek into starfield

[honest pumice]

Hey, I'm having a problem with the mod called do it yourshelf, where I don't see the holotape for its settings in my Pip-Boy or in the chem workbench.

I don't know what's wrong because I don't know how to fix this by myself.

Hi I have question for expert modders. It is possible to modify the F4SE to port it to consoles? Or there is no high tech to do that yet?

[floral cape]

It'll never happen as F4SE relies on code injection to let plugins do what they want.

Console environments are much more security focused by design, and would actively prevent the sort of thing a F4SE plugin would want to do.

[severe light]

Thanks. Well I'll never experience F4NV

Im thinking of modding Skyrim with the Skyrim Together Reborn mod so me and my friends can play. I'd prefer not to use a mod manager since I believe if its not done right, do it yourself, so I prefer manual installations. Though, I'm struggling to find how to do it online. how do I do it?

[amber swallow]

I play on Xbox and the Creations menu is not working right now does that mean they are releasing the new update or maybe they're just doing prep work

[summer spade]

It's like this for Starfield and Skyrim too, so I'm thinking it's a global issue with the servers

[sudden oasis]

downdetector reports show it's improving. Looks like it lasted about two hours.

[lunar lake]

Here are the basic steps I use.

1. I create a holding folder. This serves as an archive of all the mods I download. I don't delete this folder or any of the mods in it. If something goes wrong or if I change my mind about using a mod, I don't have to download it again, it's right there in this folder. I give this folder an easily identifiable name (such as "My Skyrim Mods.")
2. I download the mod to this folder.
3. I extract the contents of the mod to this folder.
4. I open the folder and copy/paste the .esp file and any folders that may accompany the .esp file (mesh, texture, sounds, ect) to my Skyrim data folder (the one that contains all the other .esps and .esms).
5. I use a utility called Wrye Bash to enable the mod and to sequence the .esp in my load order, if necessary. (There may be other methods to enable and sequence, but that is how I do it.)

They're not just about lowering file size. They're not even primarily about lowering file size. They're primarily about keeping files related to each other together, which is important both for the backend and for consoles.

There has to be some limit on upload size or the backend would have to deal with absurd uploads. Don't forget that there's replication, there's filesystem limits, there's time required for management operations on the archives (any unpacking and scanning they might do), there's backups, etc.

[shy girder]

Just to clarify.. 1) are you on console? 2) are you seeing 210mb and trying to a 200mb mod? 3) are you trying to download a mod but getting hit with a “not enough space” message?

If yes, this is a new function of Creations. Skyrim and Starfield also operate this way.

Someone here can give you the technical speak but essentially, the system downloads the mod and a copy of it at the same time, “opens” or unzips one of the downloaded files, and then deletes the copy.

So you need double the space to download a mod.

[shy girder]

No problem. For now, we just need to download biggest to smallest until the console space increase.

[whole crater]

Hey guys, is there a problem with Skyrim on Game Pass?

It doesn't work

[remote parrot]

Getting back into making little mods for myself, might actually release them this time lol I made a bunch of QOL patches for myself in FNV back in the day but nothing since then

[civic tangle]

Anyone else having weird texture glitches with thair guns?

Wrong chat sorry

[young grove]

There's something surprising about the modding scene of FO4, Skyrim, and Starfield (on Console) to me. There's a surprise lack of Power rangers mods for the games. By lack of I mean there's literally none, not even any MMPR mods for the games

[floral cape]

Man, can you imagine a Dairanger kit?

[young grove]

Megazord Power Armor

[floral cape]

A DaiZyuZin (EN: Season 1 Megazord combination) PA would be hilarious.

[young grove]

Goryuzyn (Dragon Zord Battle mode in MMPR) Power Armor destroying the brotherhood of steel lmao

[floral cape]

Just make it so unbearably slow to match the source footage.

[young grove]

Ultimate DaiZyuZin Liberty Prime replacer when?

[foggy charm]

Are there any new creations today?

[covert pelican]

There won't be any new releases until after the holiday break.

[foggy charm]

Okay thank you!!🙏🏻

[languid parcel]

There’s one more batch of fallout creations tomorrow then that’s it till new year

[foggy charm]

Ohh okay awesome

[cinder garden]

My copy of Fallout 4 just updated. Hmm

[lunar lake]

#fallout-announcements message

[worldly creek]

Anyone know how long it usually takes for a Fallout 4 creation update to be approved or whatever the term is?

I updated a mod I made the other day and was just curious

By that I mean I updated it the other day. Not that I made it the other day

[covert pelican]

If you mean for the paid system it will depend on what's ahead in the queue for QA.

[grizzled torrent]

If you're a part of the program, not sure why you're posting this here and not the VC discord? Read the guidelines in the channels there, friend. Everyone n the program is super helpful. Go ask there.

[runic kernel]

So I modded my game a little bit and now my game keeps crashing before I can get to the main menu how do I fix this😭

[thin condor]

sounds like a missing masters issue, but could also be something else

[worldly creek]

I'm not verified I think

It's the only mod I've released on Creations. I even released it before it was called Creations I think

[solar kite]

So I have a small mod list with about 60 mods on Vortex mixed with all the creation club stuff. If I wanna add more from creation club, what’s the safest way to do that? I’ve read that once you get vortex all set up, it’s best not to even go to the creation club link.

[sudden oasis]

Vortex coexists with Creations just fine

[grizzled torrent]

You just hit submit from the web page then. There isn't a review process for normal creations.

[sudden oasis]

you would definitely know if you were a Verified Creator. It's a whole process, with contracts and NDAs and a secret squirrel Discord.

[winter osprey]

Dont know if anyone here is into modding Oblivion remastered but I am trying to download plugins for OBSE (NL-Tag Remover). I have OBSE installed and it works fine but when I downloaded OBSE it did not make a OBSE/ plugin folder. There are several mods that are supposed to go into these folders but I dont have them. Can I just manually make folders named OBSE?

[worldly creek]

I said I'm not a verified creator. Just a random mod maker

I just used the upload to Bethesda.net option in the creation kit for Fallout 4

[sudden oasis]

Keep on being the change you want in the game!

[worldly creek]

It has an "Edited" tag on it when I view it in the website

Oh. I forgot to actually publish it I think. Oops

Lol

I looked at it on mobile and there was a tab I missed that said "manage". lol!

[sudden oasis]

Some differences from earlier games:

You should never upload an ESP. In fact never even test on your ESP, ESP is for Creation Kit editing only, export to an appropriately-sized ESM before testing or uploading.

Yes, I'm aware the CK will attempt to convert to ESM for you. It will fail, randomly, leaving an ESP uploaded. Yes, still.

Create your archives with Archive2, not the CK, in advance of uploading. The CK is more reliable about this than the above, but still, "more" is not "always".

Back up your ESP before every editing session. Some mistakes are hard to fix and you just have to restore and try again. If you don't have a backup, that's "wipe the whole mod and start over from zero."

[covert pelican]

All good advice for Starfield. He's on FO4 though 😛

[sudden oasis]

LOL OMG I thought he said he was coming from FO4 to Starfield lol

Well, about half of that was still good advice 😄

[worldly creek]

Well. I'm planning to eventually though so it's still helpful!

He just has precognition. Lol

Would you be willing to help me out with it when I eventually do start working with Starfield?

Right now I'm actually playing around with New Vegas. Specifically working on customizing a power armor to use with TOTNW

[civic tangle]

Does anyone know if the Project Warfare mods still work? It says they are not getting support anymore

[sudden oasis]

Since the modder just went on a 24 minute slur-filled rant about Bethesda, I wouldn't count on them getting any updates when the next game update comes.

[civic tangle]

Oh dang didn’t know that. That sucks

[magic cairn]

Did he really? Joker

[fallow bear]

The Controlling Rights to Power Rangers are owned by Hasbro. The modder would need permission from Hasbro to publish a mod. Otherwise its lots of violations. Its like the Batman mod (which was excellent) did not have permission was poof was taken down from Nexus and I think Creations for Starfield. Bethesda has the get permission from the owner before publishing wording. I like Power Ranger but I do not think we will see it in those games.

[young grove]

If that were the case then we wouldn't have half of the mods we do now

[civic trench]

Is there a FO76 mod that can sort my stash by weight so I can get rid of stuff that is taking up the most weight?

[sudden oasis]

Sometimes rights holders don't act immediately to demand removal of things. Then, suddenly, out of the blue your Cafepress of unauthorized Buffy merch gets taken down because somebody at Warner Brothers didn't think "Wilkins for Mayor: Why settle for the lesser evil?" t-shirts were Fair Use, causing you to have to pivot to selling thongs with your PFP on them, which only sold two, leading you to just shut the whole site down. Hypothetically.

[young grove]

That's for merch, not a mod

[sudden oasis]

Right. You get how the important thing in this is that it's the same humans acting or not acting, though?

[silent snow]

Anyone know where to find the QuestID in XEdit for a modded quest?

For skyrimSE/AE

[summer spade]

This is a vanilla feature. You can sort by weight and stack weight.

[civic trench]

there is a mod I use that tells me how much each section weighs that I carry. right now it says my section with the holiday scorched presents is over 200lbs. That is what I am looking for. I want to know where all the weight is coming from so I can get rid of it

Hey, all! I'm a composer for a Skyrim mod team. We're working with a bunch of people from around the world to make a fantasy Indonesia mod (we're hoping to join Beyond Skyrim).

We have a composer from Jakarta, Indonesia who created this track that we released today. It's his take on his culture's traditional percussion musics.

I thought I'd share!

https://youtu.be/ysz6SldoClY?si=qSp6EqUU7S9joSaF

I just installed Creationkit via Steam and it has been a while, must have missed something. Is it like a new feature that it crashes after a few seconds?

[atomic wraith]

Hey

Can anyone mod ?

because I have ideas. Make a flyable aircraft in the avatar universe (James Camron)

And pandora mod quests
You know.

It would be cool.

[thin condor]

You need the respective game on PC, as mods can only be created there. Other than that, anyone can learn to mod (some people will find it easier than others), but some ideas will be more difficult to implement than others, depending on how well the engine supports them natively

[spiral willow]

Hello to everyone, to beginning I would like to wish you to spend good festivities during this ending year. And a big big thanks to make us have fun with the mods you creating. So.. I would like to ask the creator of "tactical field outfit (ps5 test)" it's looking very good 👍 and it's works, but I'm on ps4 and would like to know if you can upload a version for ps4 players please? Thank you if you can do it. Because some of the mods are only for ps5 players unfortunately.

And it's about dlcs and the anniversary edition free gift. When it will be fixed? The customers service told me it will be fixed on December last update but it was not true again. Feel like abused by lies and manipulated... almost two months since the anniversary update and still nothing...

Thank you for your help and take care everyone.

[whole ruin]

Hello, im new to computer stuff and need help getting space suits, from starfield creationkit, to blender 3.6.9. If anyone can please explain it or show me a walk through I'd appreciate. Please do keep in mind I would appreciate the most dumbed down or "barney style" tutorial or instructions possible. Please pretend like I dont have any tools necessary or never installed them either. The only thing I do have is blender 3.6.9 and creation kit.

[sudden oasis]

JRamosWorks Gaming on YouTube has tutorials on modifying textures with Nifskope, that's where a lot of people start. Also Kinggath has a Fallout creation kit tutorial on kitbashing, it's mostly applicable.

[whole ruin]

Okay, thank you

[worldly creek]

Is there a way to mirror a mesh in nifskope?

[thin condor]

I think there is a scale option in the right click - mesh menu
Just change one of the axes to -1

[worldly creek]

Thanks! 🙂

[inner gorge]

Does anyone know if creations go on sale/free anymore or if that's a thing of the past?

[sudden oasis]

There's several on sale for Starfield currently

Finding them can be a pain.

[quartz cipher]

Hello all, I'm new to this server, I play Skyrim regularly on my PS4 and I've been experimenting with Mods lately. could anyone direct me to where I can go if i had a request for a Mod that could potentially be used for PS4?

[hardy tundra]

We have a dedicated Ps server, i can dm you the link if you want

[ocean lantern]

The loading times in Fallout 4 can be ridiculous and theres a mod that uncaps the fps during load times and recaps them before fuilly loading in, to prevent issues, my question is. Since it uncaps it. Will my pc go crazy since the fps will be so high? Like will my cpu or whatevr start screaming? I have a decewnt PC but high fps amounts make it scream

[silver bay]

Most likely not

Your GPU may go to 100%

[quasi drum]

I love how finding certain mods is so much fun

[dawn mirage]

Hey folks apparently Fallout 4 has this file or mod Archive invalidation apparently it speeds up load times is it true and should I put it in my ini file or just not bother

[quartz cipher]

Yes please!

[next violet]

is vectorplexus' site down?

[split bloom]

Does anyone know how I can put a message post to a mod upon loading in to the game for in the case that someone would steal and upload my mod to Bethesda.net?

So it can get flagged for porting w/o permissions

[thin condor]

You can add a message upon loading the game, but not depending on where that mod came from
That information is not stored in the plugin

[light crown]

If you don't want it ported, put that info in the permissions section.

[split bloom]

Yeah though my concern would be if someone were to just port it anyway with no repercussions

[thin condor]

I don't think there is anything you can do

[sudden oasis]

Bethesda will take it down if you ask them to, you own your copyrights. It's happened multiple times.

[grizzled helm]

translated pc oblivion dlc to ps3 file type so you can enjoy it in all of its glory. lmk if you wanna see any of it

[rich kiln]

You can check what platform the mod is being run on using this function:
https://ck.uesp.net/wiki/GetPlatformName_-_Debug

Of course if you release the mod's scripts source code or someone decompiles it they can remove the checks, but it's better than nothing. There's a number of other measures you can take if you get creative, but in general it gets more complex from there.

For Skyrim, anyways. If I remember right the Debug script is non-functional on consoles for Fallout 4, at least from what others have told me. I'm not sure if the situation is the same for Starfield.

[limber sinew]

So how would someone go about getting a refund on a paid for mod.

[split bloom]

Okay I’ll look into it, I was speaking for fallout 4 cuz I’ve seen mods that were ported with no permissions and I don’t want mine to be one of them.

[dapper oxide]

Just take that L

[limber sinew]

Normally I would but it’s basically $18 for something that’s broken and has been broken for over 6 months and the disrespect from the support page about it is just beyond leaving at this point. But I think I found out where to submit a refund just have to wait for the response

[dapper oxide]

damn 6 months no fix sounds like bethesda

[rich kiln]

Understandable; I feel the same about my own mods. Assuming you don't already, if you do see mods that are or may have been ported without permission please do report them so that it can be looked into.

[gritty raptor]

Actually the modder has been extremely ill

[livid dirge]

Anyone else's creation club popping up action cannot be completed?

[lucid stratus]

I think it might be down since i cannot connect

[livid dirge]

Hmm

[short zenith]

For the Bethesda Game Studios (BGS) Team can you please make a target of releasing the Starfield CK public documentation during this year (2026), preferably in time for Q1 2026!!

[sudden oasis]

It's an incredibly minor annoyance, breaks nothing, and the author was ill. It'll be fixed soon. If it'd actually broken anything of consequence we'd have made a temporary patch, but it wasn't/didn't.

[waxen musk]

What mod is this? If I may ask.

[sudden oasis]

DarkStar.

[wild igloo]

After uploading a mod from Skyrim SE Creation Kit to Bethesda. How long does it take for them to update the mod? The creation kit says PUBLISHED, UPDATE PENDING.

~~Weird. I clicked on the Creation Upload Complete dialogue box to see my creation on Bethesda.net and it provides me with an XML page instead.

"<Message>The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your key and signing method.</Message>"~~

NVM I figured it out.

[wooden herald]

Does anyone know if the Star Field Star wars Genesis mod is available for Xbox, I'm not home so I can't check myself

[limber sinew]

Well obviously BGS disagrees with you because I got my 1000 credits back for the “minor annoyance” you call it and subsequently your responses to my issue so have a good day and I hope we never speak again mate

[sudden oasis]

Does not, and likely never will.

[frail geyser]

May I ask if there is any documentation for the Skyrim SE Creation Kit?

[rich kiln]

There is, but the official wiki is currently offline with no ETA on its return, so you'll have to use the backup mirror set up by UESP of the old version of the wiki: https://ck.uesp.net/wiki/Landing_page

[frail geyser]

I will have a look. Thank you.

[empty grove]

I am sorry that my illness caused inconvenience with a quest that could be completed in under 10 minutes or dismissed from activities entirely. I know that it's the end of the world, as was the serious challenge of reading the announcements on my discord which clearly outline what is going on, or clicking a single reaction to agree to server rules and gaining access to over a hundred channels full of information, or... my youtube channel where I speak directly and openly about what I've been going through.

DarkStar update is in progress. It is large, and takes time. Day job & medical bs take precedence, because I'm human. The quest your'e so upset about is a very minor inconvenience at best, and is extremely low priority since it is A, dismissable, and B, only requires a few grav jumps to safe systems to complete.

[upbeat karma]

wait with the anniversary patcher can i launch the game through fallout3.exe and still get mods instead of having to launch with foseloader.exe?

[steady void]

Hi! I am having a really noob issue: I made a very simple creation for Starfield, and I am trying to publish it. I choose the esm file, but now it asks if I am sure I want to upload it without an archive. Problem is, I cannot for the life of me find any information of what an archive is, what should be in it, and how badly it needs to be included. Can someone give me a clue or point me in the right direction plz?

[steady void]

ok found it! The archive gather files with .pex extension, which seems to be mostly related to use-defined texturing as far as I can tell from the only source I found (a youtube video). In the case of a very simple creation like mine (new item, looks and placed like a portable stove but works as an actual cooking station so I can keep my ship tiny as I like it), it is not needed as I just reuse the base portable stove item

[steady void]

new question: in the editing menu in-game, the one where you decorate your ship/outpost/station, my new item is shown without the proper thumbnail, just a circled exclamation point on gray background. I would like it to be the normal portable stove icon, just like the original one. How can I do this?

[untold cradle]

I did this in one of my previous mods but forgot how. But I did save a couple of links that helped me

https://www.reddit.com/r/starfieldmods/comments/1e3tc8r/how_to_add_menu_images_for_your_constructable/

https://www.reddit.com/r/starfieldmods/comments/1e32h4k/build_menu_icons_someone_figured_it_out/

[sudden oasis]

ironically, this will require an archive. 😄

[steady void]

I had an inkling it would... I opened Creation Kit yesterday afternoon for the first time, so I am about as green as they come

[steady void]

Thanks for the help. I'll have a look at it stat...

[thin condor]

An archive contains all external assets that are not included in a plugin
Examples for external assets are:
Textures
Models
Materials
Scripts
Audio files
LOD files (distant terrain)

(i know I'm late)

[steady void]

Good info is never late; you did clarify things more, thanks

[thin condor]

Also, .pex is the format for compiled papyrus scripts, textures are .dds

[severe light]

Hi is Gopher's stable new vegas useful?

[dense sigil]

Do you happen to know where the pex files should save by default? I for the life of me cannot get even fragments to run in my testing. At first I thought I was just threading the needle with somehow writing scripts the seemed to compile but ended up not doing anything in game (I’m extremely new & learning as I go).

But now I’m starting to think my ck is F’d up and not saving pex where it needs to be in order to run. Literally my quest is 2 stages, fires on container change and trigger box (both placed on items and not base) yet my first attempt to compile failed. I deleted my papyrus temp, it compiled, go to test picking up slate and big ole nothing happened.

[thin condor]

Usually in data/scripts
Unless you use MO2, then it'll be in the override folder
Did the scripts actually succeed in compiling?

[dense sigil]

Pex in data/scripts and psc in my documents correct? In this instance I received the fail first time right away but no successful prompt in CK after I deleted papyrus temp. Just no fail after I hit compile.

I also compile in CK with built in compiler. Should I look at another method? And thank you for replying, it’s been plaguing me for two months.

[thin condor]

What game are you talking about?
I don't think there is another compiler apart from the Bethesda one; you can invoke it from external programs but the compiler itself usually is the same
And for quest or dialogue fragments it usually is best if you compile in CK, as the engine is very picky about their structure

[untold cradle]

Where's the best place to download SF1edit?

[sudden oasis]

xEdit Discord

[untold cradle]

Its Nexus Mods page has been taken down, and googling it gets a few links that says there is no version of xedit that's compatible with Starfield

[untold cradle]

Do you have a link?

[sudden oasis]

I'll DM you

[iron cypress]

Any timeline for the creation kit wiki going back up?

Maybe updated for starfield?

[rich kiln]

Nope. There is zero information on that front.

[dense sigil]

Starfield, apologies for not stating earlier. I’ll check my files to make sure it’s saved to correct folders . Appreciate your help, truly!

[prime jetty]

PSC goes under Scripts\Source\User\(Namespace)\Script.psc

Quest fragments go under Scripts\Source\User\Fragments\Quest\Scriptname.psc. The CK will automatically put it in the correct folder when it’s created

[dense sigil]

Thank you!! 🙏🏻

[prime jetty]

no problem! 😁

[night barn]

Who here has actually played Genesis extensively and is it actually worth the effort of completely re-downloading starfield?

[abstract fern]

Hello, Is the modding bethesda creation kit wiki down for anyone else or just me?

[untold cradle]

Got a question about trigger boxes - is there any way to check it against a global variable?

As in if MyGlobal is 1, then activate the linked marker

I'm looking at the standard properties for DefaultRefEnableLinkedRefOnTrigger and there's nothing that checks for globals

[iron cypress]

Yes, and yes.. though I’d wait for the 5.6 update if you’re going to give it a shot.

[night barn]

Is that the starfield update or is it something related to Genesis?

[iron cypress]

The 8.6 update is from genesis. It has over 120+ more mods than current iteration. And it introduces lightsabers and more force user stuff

They’re recommending people wait, but it’s still fun as it is

[night barn]

Then that will give me time to think about reinstalling SF.

[iron cypress]

I was utterly disappointed with starfield at release. Already put 40 hours in the last week. It definitely elevates the game

[thin condor]

We have a copy of its last up and running state over at UESP, but sadly, that copy predates Starfield, and thus, most Starfield-specific info is not found on there
https://ck.uesp.net/wiki/Landing_page

[night barn]

Honestly I have over 700hrs invested on xbox, in just a little over 9 months I've put in 1k+ on pc

Just did a nearly 10 hr binge the other day.

[iron cypress]

Then yeah I’d definitely wait for the update lol

[night barn]

My passion is building ships, then using the Enforcer with the Darkstar patch. Love Darkstar so much.

I was a Lego kid growing up, I have to keep my mind going or I get bored and my slight case of narcolepsy starts rearing it's ugly head.

[grizzled torrent]

There’s some but not a lot of info at https://starfieldwiki.net/wiki/Starfield:Starfield#Mods_and_Modding

highly encourage anyone with modding knowledge to contribute.

[untold cradle]

Hi, I've got another question about crowd NPCs, specifically if it's possible to randomize them

Anybody familiar with this?

[mellow maple]

Hi! Can someone help me? - I'm making my companion in Skyrim, and I want to know if it's possible to make different dialogues use the same script with its own name and function. For example, I tell my companion "Follow me," and he responds with randomly different dialogues, such as "Let's go!" or "Okay!" I'd like the creation kit to not create thousands of copies of the script, but to use the one with the name when compiling the script.

[stuck token]

How much creation credits to get a bug patch for bethesda games?

[dim thicket]

Hi. Can someone point me to a guide for editing the effects of SPECIAL stats in the GECK for FNV, or for another tool if the GECK doesnt cover it. Tried to find some myself but most searches just come up with results relating to changing NPC or character SPECIAL stats. Thanks.

[random oriole]

Im kinda surprised that there no mod for the T-65 Power armor in fallout 4.

[thin condor]

Depends on which game, and which bugs - some bug patches are free, and some bugs cannot be easily patched, especially not without modifying the engine itself

[rich kiln]

You may want to look again; a quick search on both google and the creations.bethesda.net website reveals that multiple mods for it do exist both on PC and xbox.

[random oriole]

My apologies I probably should have looked properly and said it better. Im surprised is not a paid friendly lore related mod that people can use and still get achievements.

[prime storm]

hello! i had a question about starfield CK/a part of a mod i'm working on and don't know if this is the right place to ask this.

I am trying to progress in-game time when the player interacts with a activator on a bed (effectively "sleeping") but have not been able to find anything that works. I'm faking the "sleeping" aspect by MoveTo the player to another xmarker so the screen fades to black and then returns but I want to change day to night or vice versa. Any help would be appreciated!

[grizzled torrent]

Use an invisible furniture marker instead and make it into a bed. When they sleep, it will be real sleep.

[stuck token]

Really? Free patch from Bethesda? Where can I find it, I can only see the unofficial patches

[thin condor]

Patches from Bethesda are always free, and always directly applied to the game unless you disable that on your distribution platform

[ember gyro]

How’s things been with Beta test of external assets on ps?

[half seal]

Hi there! Would anyone know how I would go about generating LOD for the surface map for a POI mod I'm working on?

[stuck token]

Really? How come then players need unofficial patches? I understand that 💰anniversary💰 upgrade brought a lil update but that was awhile back 🤔

[tender vault]

Steam just released Version Control for games, & mods on Steam Workshop! 😍

It is optional, but if you have mods uploaded there it's something that we know players will really appreciate.

Hopefully AAA studios, like BGS will also get on board with it. 😉

https://youtu.be/5wAagABvsLo?si=hnfMq90dz58em18h

[stuck token]

Bethesda hasn't supported workshops ever since their failed attempt at monetizing them

[tender vault]

Right but it's not just for Steam Workshop it's for games on Steam too.

[stuck token]

Yes that is very good, I am glad that Steam finally got around for it. I hope they implement mod tags too.

[tender vault]

Yeah it would fix all the headaches and disasters for mods and projects that game updates cause. It would be good for everyone. Really been waiting for something like this since BGS started releasing on Steam. 😊

Mod tags would make sense. Games have them, mods should too. I don't have my mods up on Workshop, but can imagine that would be soo much easier for players to find mods.

[stuck token]

Yes, my primary tag need for Steam is for translation mods. Since there is no effective way to filter them out when browsing new mods lol

[tender vault]

Yeah Nexus has okay mod tags. I can't imagine trying to find mods without them lol. 😆

[thin condor]

Because Bethesda didn't fix all the bugs in their patches, and most games don't have a lot of ongoing support any more

That doesn't change the fact that there are official patches, and free non official patches

[covert pelican]

Everything currently listed in our changelog is an issue they have not fixed. It's quite extensive. That's why people still use USSEP.

[stuck token]

Uhuh, so how much do I have to pay for Bethesda to actually patch the game then?

[covert pelican]

You don't. Patches from game publishers are free. Bethesda has done many of them over the years.

[stuck token]

Would they have released a free patch without an anniversary 💰upgrade💰 ? I need to know the final price when they release an USSEP tier patches not including engine fixes, those can come as DLC's

[covert pelican]

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at, but yes, all of their game patches have been free. At no point has anyone ever been made to pay for them.

For Skyrim, the "Anniversary Upgrade" is a separate DLC package that has nothing to do with the underlying game update.

[stuck token]

It's not charity. Someone pays for those patches, and in this case it's funded by upgrades and creation club sales.

[sudden oasis]

And continued sales of the game.

[stuck token]

Continued sales mostly fund upgrades, which then conveniently ship with a few patches. Efficient system 💸

[sudden oasis]

The employees doing the work stubbornly insist on getting paid.

[stuck token]

Employees always get paid. Some studios treat patches as long term support. Others see it as a part of sales funnel 🐄 . This one is clearly the latter.

[covert pelican]

Yes, the developers/publishers need to pay people to make patches. That's a given.
You as the user are not charged for this.

[sudden oasis]

adding "clearly" to a sentence is usually reserved for points that are not in dispute.

[stuck token]

Semantics aside, their release cadence speaks for itself- patches align with paid upgrades.

[sudden oasis]

except for all the many times they haven't

[covert pelican]

There also haven't been any "paid upgrades". All the game updates have been free since launch.
There ARE additional DLC packages, but they're separate and only have a condition that you update the game to be able to buy them.

[stuck token]

If there are many exceptions feel free to point them. The update history mostly lines up with paid releases.

[covert pelican]

Every patch to the game since November of 2021.

And even then, doesn't matter, you didn't have to pay for any of them.

[stuck token]

Again, no one is saying players are charged per patch. The point is the patches exist because they enable paid content and editions. Other studios fund long-term patching without tying it to paid releases, here, updates are functionally part of the sales pipeline.

[covert pelican]

I guess I just don't see it in such a cynical way.

[stuck token]

Fair enough, I'm just describing their business model 🤷‍♂️

[sudden oasis]

All of those patches that came out without a corresponding paid update don't count because reasons.

[covert pelican]

I don't think you're accurately describing their business model though. Especially since the number of patches that coincide with a new DLC package are a small part of how many they've released over the years.

[stuck token]

They ‘count,’ but they don’t change the pattern. Post-release patches still revolve around enabling or stabilizing monetized content.

[sudden oasis]

Post-release patches to EVERY GAME revolve around enabling or stabilizing monetized content.

[stuck token]

If you actually look at the patch history, the bigger updates (like 1.6 and others) were tied to the Creation/Creations system and monetized content. Yes, small fixes happen sometimes, but they’re mostly to support those features — not regular, independent patch support.

[sudden oasis]

Because the game is monetized content.

[stuck token]

That’s demonstrably false. Plenty of games receive long-term patches without tied monetization.

[sudden oasis]

And Skyrim is one of them.

[covert pelican]

OG Skyrim had numerous patches that had nothing to do with DLC.
Same is true of SE. Plenty of patches had nothing to do with DLC or paid mods.

[stuck token]

We’re just going to disagree here. I’ve laid out the reasoning and the patch history. People can judge for themselves.

[stuck token]

Early post-launch patches are not what’s being discussed. The point is that later support overwhelmingly aligns with Creation Club and paid editions. We’re just going to disagree, so I’ll leave it there.

[covert pelican]

Regardless, you didn't have to pay for those patches. Which was the original assertion.

Can anyone here help me with an issue I'm having with Vortex? I've been trying to play F4 but for some reason anytime I launch the game with 130 mods enabled, it instantly CTDs. It doesn't matter what mod, 129 works fine but 130 wont work at all. I went through every single mod to try and find the issue but it is just that number that breaks it

And I have played in the past with up to 220 mods enabled and it worked, but now it won't even load

You are over your archive limit. If you have the AE creations bundle you are already pushing your archives up close to the limit and with mods on top of that you are hitting the limit. 255 main/texture archive limit.

[solid trench]

So by disabling some of the creations I can resolve this issue? Or is there a way to extend the archive limit?

[velvet trail]

What platform do you play on?

[solid trench]

PC

[velvet trail]

Ah that’s great news. On PC you can combine archives.

Try following this guide. It’s for BMAT which is automatic. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnRJa1RqXU3rI2LYPPeHMsHmbQKEk9L1D&si=dIpSMxVbxw-iMhjw

If that doesn’t work for you, you can manually merge them with Cathedral Assets Optimizer. You can find it on nexus.

Is there any way to use the Debug Menu on XB to add a script to say a placed editor marker (I can definitely place those, they are just empty)

[rich kiln]

If you mean for Skyrim, off the top of my head it depends* but in general no. There isn't a mechanism in place for it to dynamically add any script to any other things; you'd more or less need to either have a mod that already sets up the intended script+object combo for it or Debug Menu to spawn, or a specific mechanism for it would have to be added to handle it which can be problematic if it's a third-party script as it may necessitate a compatibility patch due to dependencies.

* There may be a way to do the precise specific task you have in mind but you'd need to clarify as your current description is too vague.

What are you trying to do, anyways?

[torpid anchor]

anyone know why people report and the wiki says that Daniel Contreras sometimes sells a star bottle cap? I'm going through his vendor lvll in fnvedit and I don't see any references to star bottlecaps. is the wiki wrong, am I missing something or is he getting a star bottle cap from the void

When will achievement friendly verified creations come to skyrim? I've been waiting for ages.

[thorny lark]

Thanks. I got a mod that adds an attic to Lakeview Manor with four beds, and I also got the Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions mod that puts editor markers under various Hearthfire beds to make children sleep in them. I can move those markers from under the Hearthfire beds to the attic beds, and it does the job, the children start going up to the attic to sleep. That's great, but I was hoping to use the Hearthfire bedrooms for something else, and when I delete the original beds, the markers disappear with them, even if I placed them under modded beds. Sorry that's convoluted. I just don't see this task getting completed without placing new markers under the custom meds, but that would be a patch over a patch with a patch, if you know what I mean, because several mods are involved.

[junior glade]

All I'm saying is that if it were achievement friendly there are many creations that I would purchase.

[granite halo]

would anyone know why a model shows up correct when dropped, but breaks when equipped? my model is a ranger helmet + cowboy hat and only the ranger helmet is showing up

[chilly prism]

Missing animations or missing/corrupted HKX.

[granite halo]

idk, im thinking it has something to do with the biped object flags. the ranger helmet has the hat flag checked, and so does the hat. im assuming that if i can find a way to uncheck the helmets hat flag, then maybe the hat will show up.
also for clarification, i am talking about new vegas

My bad. I was thinking FO4 weapon nif.

The guy appears to have receipts, but only for his case. There's nothing proving a wider issue with Sony making Discord go on a banning rampage.

[normal hollow]

its Nexus strike or Discord strike?

[covert pelican]

Discord

[sudden oasis]

Discord's brutal about this stuff, if they suspend your account and you own a server, you have no option to transfer ownership. My old guild had to walk away from a server because the owner got permabanned for arms dealing. The server still exists, has no admins, gets hit by scammers and nobody can do anything about them.

So how possible is modding the ps3 version of oblivon outside of ESP and BSA changes?

[thin condor]

I didn't even know that these were possible on ps3
Anything outside of that is definitely off the table, though, I'm sure

[grizzled helm]

Is it worth documenting if I know how to do more?

[grizzled helm]

pretty sure im the first person with custom loading screens, music, boot screens, credits changes, meshes+textures, pc dlc on ps3. As every forum on modding barley answers the question on how to even get esps working. Ive even came up with a super easy disc swap fix (you have to swap disc to enable SI, but now its saved to the same disc, so no swap)

[versed marten]

can i install TTW when i have F:NV installed on steam without any dlc and fallout 4 on epic games with all dlc?

[next gulch]

If I remember correctly you gotta have nvs dlc as well though

[rich kiln]

That is what "Both games and all their dlc" states, yes.

[grizzled helm]

Anyone with a bluray burner and extra disc wanna try out a Oblivion ps3 mod I made? I made it so both disc (base game+dlc) are on the same disc (granted it has a built in check to make sure you actually own both disc, which may or may not be easily bypassable, but we wont get into that). Also added pc loading screens to the game+ a new opening sequence that includes the 2k logo from the pc version. With a little bit of extra tweaking you can run dlc that microsoft bought rights to (obv I will tell you how to do it not just give you files, also I fixed an issue people complained about where meshes didnt work, so i redesigned it to run with the ps3) All stuff thought to never be possible on ps3. Im planning on maybe doing a couple texture mods, but those will take atleast multiple weeks as just getting everything running sequentially with out mod loaders and a cap of 256mb of ram is pretty painful. The effect id hope to cause with the texture changes is making it 32bit textures so I can atleast get a couple more frames found a mod on nexus and it looks somewhat transcribable.

[brave cobalt]

Can someone who has time to teach me how to properly manually download a mod for Fallout New Vegas as Vortex wont accept the download

[lucid vortex]

The method depends on the Mod. What is it?

[solid trench]

Alas I am having a new issue trying to play. After all the work I had done, I've managed to successfully get the game running with my modlist, albeit with crashes and freezes constantly despite the stability fixes. My lates issue is that, during the quest Unlikely Valentine, the AI seems to completely turn off for my character and Nick gets stuck in one spot, preventing quest progression.

I have loaded my saves at least a dozen times, and it works just fine until this moment where he stops moving. I bring up AI because I had an issue before where my character couldn't use a workbench which I found was because the ai was shut off somehow, and it seems to be the case here again because before this point my character can sit in chairs, but when nick gets here I can't sit down anymore or do anything. Loading a save does nothing to fix this, is there anyone who knows what could be the issue?

[echo anvil]

I'm gonna try to create a mod 😄

I don't know if the engine can handle it though

Bethesda was actually onto something by making the map a cell based grid..

By doing that you could have more dynamic and organic features

So the idea is you overlay an invisible grid on the game world with each "cell" tracking factors like radiation, mutant presence, or settlement health and then you apply rules for cells to update based on their neighbors, so you create dyanmic effects like radiation decay, mutant invasions, etc.

Each cell would check its 8 neighbors set at inervals (e.g. every few in game hours)

Is the Havok function in CK just permanently borked? Running it on an object just makes it fall forever into the void. It's been like this for months now

[thin condor]

Only in the Starfield CK, from what I know

[sudden oasis]

saw a report (to CKPE) that the Havok license key expired. Which would be hilarous since Microsoft owns Havok.

won't link it because the workaround they suggest is probably against the law in the US, but you can probably find it from the clues above

I've not had any issues in the Skyrim or FO4 CK with using the Havok function to settle an object.

Question regarding the pending mod space expansion for Fallout 4, well two questions lol. Any timeline on that for Fallout 4? Also could we maybe get the same expansion for Skyrim 🙏

Also a dream I had, only if Bethesda and the makers of the script extender mods we have on PC versions of Fallout 4 and Skyrim would get together and bake those features into the base game 🙏🙏

[tropic flare]

For timeline: there is none. It’ll come when it comes

As for Skyrim, we can assume it will happen eventually

[fiery pasture]

Gotcha. Yeah I imagine once it's done for Fallout 4 and working, then it'd be an easier upgrade for Skyrim.

[tropic flare]

My concern is whether or not Skyrim could even handle it on console. Fo4 isn’t very well optimized in comparison, but Skyrim is also older

That being said, I can run A LOT more graphics and overhaul mods on Skyrim than fallout

I know there script extension being done on skyrim for ps5 rn still but will that sometime be available on fallout 4

I installed Armatech - MK30 mid-playthrough right before this and never had this issue.

[green orbit]

Hey there. Yeah, very rarely - I think it's a vanilla bug. I know some other authors and users on very minimal load orders have run into it, it's been 'traced' to a few other mods before (by process of elimination) but nobody's really found a cause. I've gotten it exactly once while testing RF on an otherwise empty load order and never again.

[heady shuttle]

Okay, thanks for getting back to me. I'm gonna start yet another new playthrough and hope that I don't run into it again, definitely an "Immersion breaking" bug.

[green orbit]

No worries - hopefully it doesn't strike again! It is annoying when it happens especially when it seems so random.

[heady shuttle]

It happened as soon as I exited my ship on Jemison after clearing the Kreet facility, I was like "Okay... that's odd.". Then as I was walking down a pathway towards the lodge, it happened again and that was the one that sent me over the edge. 😂

Clearly, if I spent 700 credits on immersion creations, that's the last kind of bug I want to run into. 🤣

If it wasn't random, maybe it would be more tolerable, but even then, it would get under my skin a little bit.

I'm no Fallout4 player - i play Skyrim SE. A game also from BSG. In Vanilla Skyrim you can only have one follower at a time. If you want to have more followers at the same time in Skyrim, you need a mod for that. I guess it's the same with Fallout4.

[untold cradle]

Hi, hoping this is the right place to ask this about the Starfield Creation Kit. Anyone know how to create perfectly flat terrain to put a ship landing marker? My current landing area makes the vehicle spawn inside the landing bay, which is hilarious but not the effect I want. Aside from the fact that half the landing legs are floating in midair and the other half are clipped into the ground, I can only guess this is because the terrain isn't suited for landing

Been messing with the landscape editor but I don't know what all those settings mean. And I just can't get the terrain flat enough

[placid lake]

Heyo I don't know if this will help since I don't have the CK open in front of me so I am going based on memory. But the way I did the landscape to flatten it for a spaceship landing was I actualy grabbed the square landing platform and matched up the level with the landscape editor. I then took the levelling tool and dragged it from the land next to the landing pad and covered the area of the landing pad with flat terrain. Then I deleted the landing pad and placed the landing marker down. Since the landing marker is transperent its pretty easy to line it up with the flat ground. There are some great videos on the terrain editor, all of them sadly use the landing pads so there is no direct tutorial for flattening the ground for a landing marker but it is definitly doable.

You could also raise the brush size to be the same size as the landing pad and then flatten or level an area.

Hi, appreciate the tips, but I still haven't solved my problem. I tried placing my landing marker so that it's half hidden by the terrain, then trying to either fully hide it or fully reveal it. But the brush just doesn't seem to do either. I think my brush settings are just all wrong

If you could check your CK, I'd really appreciate if you just screenshot your brush settings to me

[regal cobalt]

This is not a mod but I see a blue forcefield thing around a coffin like object near moss mother cavern, and sunder stone gorge
What is this for?

[placid lake]

I am going to work on something in CK later today and I can try to send a screenshot while im at it,

Which mod pack is great for New Vegas?

[haughty crater]

Does anyone know if certain mods could be messing with my abillity to paint combar armour legs cause for some reason nothing is showing up

[light crown]

You might have to go through your load order and disable your mods one by one, to find which one is doing it. But I suggest that you start by checking out which of your mods also affect painting armour or modify armour in some way.

[haughty crater]

Alr I’ll try when I’m next on thank you

[zenith star]

Hi I am looking for some good resources on how to make mods for fallout 4 - I have experience coding and 3d modeling but am a noob when it comes to game dev/moding

[fathom hare]

https://falloutck.uesp.net/wiki/Main_Page

[fresh carbon]

i had a question, every time for the past month i have not been able to launch fallout4 it jsut pops a black screen with the windows loading wheel of death, i do mod so i took off all the mods still does it, even with it re downloaded still the same thing. any one have ideas i feel like i have done everything i could think of to fix it but nothing..

[clear grove]

#modding-news message

Sooo, how's the maintenance coming along? 😂 2 years later and it's still down

[fathom hare]

Its been broken for over 8 years 😓

[sudden token]

Speaking of broken

Does anyone have a proven method to prevent the skyrim creations menu on Xbox from disabling/reordering my mods every time I open it?

I am sick to death of having to reorder 50+ mods every time I so much as look inside the creations menu. This has been going on for YEARS and bethesda hasn't shown interest in fixing it, so maybe someone here has found a workaround?

[sand wren]

If only we could do this for ps

[sand wren]

It probably will just not for a while.

[rich kiln]

From what I've heard the workaround is to only open your mod list while in offline mode.

[sudden token]

that is the way to reorder things, I have gathered. is there a way to prevent it from reordering things when I download a new mod, though?

[rich kiln]

Not that I'm aware of.

[sudden token]

or, does it even do that?

The real question is when does the creations menu screw up people's load orders? If it only does so when I press Y and go into my LO while online then I could just download the mod I want, shut the game down from the console menu and then go offline/activate the mod and put it where it needs to go in my LO - right?

It's amazing that this is STILL a problem, after like 2 years?

[rich kiln]

Unfortunately I don't know the answer to that as I don't have an xbox. You may have to just test it to see if that would work or not.

[sudden token]

would be great to have one of the people who work for bethesda weigh in on this

[rich kiln]

[covert pelican]

That's what the feedback portals are for:
https://help.bethesda.net/#en/home/product/373/skyrimcat/287

That's the one for Skyrim, which is most often where this issue is reported. The devs aren't going to fix something they haven't been told about, and you can't expect that they're quietly monitoring this Discord.

[lucid vortex]

For me it’s usually if I don’t wait for the pictures to all load in when accessing the Creations Menu and accessing my LO. If I wait, then it’s fine.

[sudden token]

interesting

[sudden token]

Already have, as I'm sure countless other people have as well. this is, after all, a very old issue - I'm here hoping to find a proven workaround 🤷‍♂️

[covert pelican]

Unfortunately there can't be a workaround from the end user side of things since it's a server issue.

[sudden token]

I've heard suggestions. Going offline to reorder things (either after the fact or preemptively) is a workaround that is proven to work, among other things I've heard here and there. As opposed to always having a LO that's broken, things like that are acceptable until bethesda fixes their product.

[young grove]

I've had that issue, clearing reserve space fixes it but deletes your load order

[sudden token]

i've been through that - it fixed it for about a week and then the creations menu started scrambling things again.

not going to delete and redownload 148 mods again

[young grove]

148?! The last time I had that issue I had 91

[sudden token]

I hear that's around when the creations menu starts having it's way with people

[sand wren]

Do you ever think they'll allowed external assets for fo4 on ps just like they did with skyrim.

[jade burrow]

Where can I go to learn how to mod Fallout 4?

[wary fractal]

I think they will

[ember canopy]

Hello, I have a problem: no missions are displayed in the orbital station Mods "Mining Conglomerate"

[soft halo]

Hi guys

[cobalt cairn]

Is there a mod that let’s settlers use power armor or is there a vanilla way to do it

[keen cliff]

Hey there, I just saw this. Typically if you leave the orbit and come back they'll show up. We've also heard going to another orbit, saving, exit, reload, and go back. Seems like Papyrus gets stuck depending on which orbit you were in before going there.

[ember canopy]

Thank you ! 😊

[kind haven]

Has anyone able to launch F4SE through MO2, vortex, etc... and also access to creation club store? Because I did noticed that I couldn't access to creation club store while running F4SE through MO2 (because of bethesda.net server couldn't connect it) and also, I did noticed that underneath of "Fallout Update" Logo that it's unable to get the message of the day, that indicate that it can't connect to creation club store. I'm on AE version and I haven't downgrade it since then. But, I was able to access to creation club store by running regular F4.exe through MO2. Even I did have to validate the files for FO4, too, but it didn't work after that results. Is there any suggestions or ideas that I can try it out to fix it?

[polar sinew]

does anyone know if theres a good mod to reduce damage for modern firearms

[rugged kettle]

@polar sinew might be a good idea to ask in their discord want me to send you an invite?

[rugged kettle]

can someone on xbox test something for me
basically spawn in at coup manor and then walk down the road till you see a redrocket
there should be a dog there of some kind and can someone let me know if ya game freezes when you shoot it

[rugged kettle]

oh thats interesting... it seams no matter where i am in the world if i or my companions shoot anyone the game crashes

is that cyberdog companion really buggy like this?

cuz if so "sarcastically golf claps" good QA bethesda

gunna verify by goin back to a save before i got cyberdog and doin some shooting then gettin it and shooting and see if the crash returns

ok yup i got the dog and once i returned to mainland i shot in the air and the game crashed so thanks to bethesdas wonderful QA with the AE update the cyberdog creations busted

[rugged kettle]

realised this is the moddin channel but bah whatever

[polar sinew]

yeah

[rugged kettle]

sent it over the gremlins in there will help ya

[thin parrot]

I dont think they will, sonys strict stupidity wouldnt allow it. If f04 on playstation gets external assets update at all, sony is NUKING the game off the playstation store.

[supple patio]

Well actually Sony are testing external assets in Skyrim so you might be wrong there

[supple patio]

They are testing a range of external assets on Skyrim on playstation at the moment don't know if that ended yet though

[sand wren]

I know that. I got a bunch of em on skyrim rn. It would just be common sense to have them on fallout 4 as well. That's what I'm waiting on cause see that on skyrim gave me hope.

Fallout 4 was my first bethesda game.

If Sony had common sense and allow external assets for fallout 4 already that would bring in more revenue and business.

Just saying

Like from a company gaming standpoint I get that their not our friends or nothing but you gotta see what sells and what people want ist that the whole of a business.

[supple patio]

Business practices and what customers want and what they get is complex because it a leadership and marketing issue

[sand wren]

Oh well it is what it is

It'll get here when it gets here I guess.

If it does I mean.

[sand wren]

It's a Sony problem not a bethesda problem.

[dense reef]

I dont see us ever getting open mods like pc for PS. Sony doesn't want people messing with files on Playstation. And you have to do that with external assets.

[sand wren]

Why?

[dense reef]

Because sony doesn't want people to access the files in the Playstation console. To add a mod to a console people would need more access to the console and sony doesn't want that.

[sand wren]

That's just stupid

[dense reef]

Of course it is but sony makes the rules. Bethesda and everyone else has to obey what sony says or we wont get any mods. They technically don't have to allow what pathetic mods we get now. They could stop it in a heartbeat.

It says your a mod creator. If you plan on making mods for Playstation you'll find out how restricted it truly is

[sand wren]

Wtf no im not

That's werid why it says that

[sudden oasis]

you clicked a button in id:customize

[sand wren]

Oh thank you

[thin parrot]

They are? Wait.. what? Hold the phone. MAYBE we have a chance?? Just not a good one though imo.

[river warren]

hello, i have been struggling to get the fallout 4 CK to launch- the ck does not install into the base game's directory (i have tried reinstalling it several times, they are both on my D drive but in separate folders), and when i try to launch it, it fails entirely (no error, just does not run).

i have been searching for help online, but everything says to either install it through the bethesdanet launcher or links to the bethesdanet wiki- neither of these seem to exist anymore. any advice would be appreciated :3

i have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling them Both at the same time, on both drives, and that does not work either- steam Really wants them to be separate games

[fathom hare]

Weird. What root installation folder name does it use?

[rapid osprey]

Hello everyone, I dont know which version of Creation Kit I should download. My Skyrim version is 1.6.640.0.8, Legendary Edition. The problem is that Creation kit is stucked

[silver badger]

Anyone else also got an email about "Unusual Activity with this Bethesda.net Account"?

Huh account.bethesda.net returns 502 error

[covert pelican]

That should be accounts, with an s.

Sounds like you might have a phishing email on your hands if the domain is missing the s.

[spring bane]

PSA:

Steam or Bethesda or someone screwed up an update. Anyone trying to install the CK in the last week gets this: instead of installing to the game root folder, it installs to a folder called "<GameName> <AppID>" on the same drive.

CONFIRMED FIX:

• Completely exit Steam.
• Drop the contents of the CK's app-id folder into the game's folder, to put all the files where they shoulda gone.
• Go UP levels to the steamapps folder that FO4 or Starfield is installed in.
• You will see a file called appmanifest_<SomeNumber>.acf
• If you have a lot of steam apps you will have to find the one that matches the app ID of the game you're trying. Just open the files and look, the name will be in it, if you're not sure.
• Open this file in VS Code or Notepad++ or Notepad if ya got nothin' else.

A few lines down you will see a line that says:
"installdir" "<GameRoot> <SameNumber>"

This is the error. Delete the number (and the space in front of it) so it just says

"installdir" "<GameRoot>"

Save the file. Set it to READ-ONLY until this issue is fixed, so Steam doesn't re-break it.

Profit!

This seems to be affecting both Starfield and FO4 so i wouldn't be surprised if it hit Skyrim too.

(you can then restart Steam again, set up MO2, etc)

(And if any of the moderators or Beth staff see this, couldja please escalate so someone looks into it? Thanks 😄 )

If the placeholders above are confusing, here's an example:
For Starfield the game root is just called "Starfield" and the app ID is "2722710"

WRONG:
"installdir" "Starfield 2722710"

RIGHT:
"installdir" "Starfield"

hope that helps

[covert pelican]

Are you sure this is right? According to my Steam data the game's AppID is 1716740 and the CK is AppID 2722710.

[spring bane]

Yes sorry if i wasn't clear, that is the issue,.

The ck is installing to a directory called "Starfield <CK's App ID>"

And the manifest file plainly defines the installdir as this

I've seen a number of people reporting this issue after I experienced it myself. And sure enough, correcting the appmanifest file cleared everythjing up.

It seems to have only broken in the last week or so; since everyone (and myself) who has reported the issue, has been someone trying a fresh install of the CK within the last 5-7 days.

It's the appmanifest file of the CK that is broken, not Starfield itself.

i hope i'm explaining this right

[spring bane]

This is what happened:

• I had Starfield installed.
• I went to download the Starfield CK.
• Instead of going into the Starfield folder, even tho i chose the same drive as Starfield root, the CK got installed into a folder called literally "Starfield 2722710" right next to my Starfield folder.
• The file "appmanifest_2722710.acf" in steamapps was found to have bad data in that "installdir" was being set to "Starfield 2722710" when it should be set to just "Starfield" to ensure it installs into game root.

This has only been broken for the last few days, week tops. Someone b0rked the manifest file.

https://i.ibb.co/7JV1MGp3/Bad-Manifest.png

so TL;DR my instructions above are to correct the CK's manifest file so it goes into game root like it should.

probably also a good idea to set the manifest to read-only until steam or whomever fixes it, otherwise it might just overwrite again -_-

[spring bane]

...also, do you know anything about this? I see a few mods that all attempt to address Environmental Hazards. Is this explanation correct?
https://i.ibb.co/dN0MK7b/No-Hazmat-For-Todd.png

coz if that's true, it would explain a lot of what i've seen in game

[barren turret]

Is a Keychain mod for Oblivion remaster in the works? Really feels like it should be a base game feature but hey.

[covert pelican]

I see. That makes more sense now. So who is responsible for manifest files?

And no, I hadn't heard about that mod, but the symptoms it describes seem to make sense.

[spring bane]

AFAIK the manifest files are a part of Steam's systems for managing products; but of course, someone at Bethesda would have to be responsible for providing the info it contains. Steam uses it to keep track of where the thing's installed, IF it's installed, when it was last updated, etc. So day-to-day, it's steam.

As for who fatfingered this specific entry to cause this issue, no way to know from here.

As for the weather issue, would you say it qualifies as a bug? If so i'll write it up on the tracker. It seems like enviro effects were not meant to be flagged as abiliries but as weather, which both makes sense and would allow the armor-resistances system to actually affect them.

[covert pelican]

I made tickets for the two separate issues but you can feel free to add anything that you think is relevant to the comments on them.

[spring bane]

awesome, thanks.

[river warren]

you're a hero, thank you!!

[cursive lily]

Nice... I was just coming in here to report the same issue for Fallout 4 lol

[spring bane]

Well it may be a while until it gets fixed. I tried sending in a report via the Support Site. This was the response I got.
We apologize for any inconvenience with issues regarding the creation kit installation in your directory. Bethesda Customer Support does not offer support for modding or specific mod tools.

I have no idea how to get this info in front of the person(s) who need it.
