**** Official Fallout 4 MODS Thread ****

Argh, I hate taking a break from a heavily modded game. New NMM installed and all my hundreds of mods are showing as disabled in NMM, yet in game the mods are there.. Then when I update a mod to the newest version its then greyed out. Never had this before. Most need updating which is a massive ball ache, I wish NMM would just auto update all the mods, like steam does with game updates.
 
Any tips for TruBy9? It just crashes my game when I try and launch. I followed the instructions to the letter but no dice and I really can't be bothered with playing less than my resolution (3440x1440)

Here's what I have so far. Note that I can't install Enhanced Lighting and FX as I don't have any DLC installed. That's also preventing me from installing the unofficial patch, too.

Is there anything you guys would add to a lightly modded game? I'm just looking for what people would consider the essentials really, and when I've added all the mods I need I'll give an ENB a go.

Since you have no mods related to settlement building, I'm going to assume you're not interested in that aspect of the game.

For a lightly modded game with no settlement building beyond the minimum, I'd recommend two more mods:

Full Dialogue Interface. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1235

Changes the dialogue interface to display what your character will actually say, not the rubbish vanilla system of summaries that might or might not bear much resemblence to what's actually said. I'm not sure why the vanilla system exists at all, let alone why it's the only possibility without mods. It's obviously a console thing, but do Bethesda think all console players are too illiterate to read a whole sentence?

Screen Flicker Killer and no blur effect. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3191

Repairs the screen on your pipboy so it works properly. No flickering, no blurring, no scan lines, no shuddering, no fading, no failure of vertical hold. No other changes - just a properly working screen. It makes playing the game much less irritating and it's lore-friendly - since your character uses their pipboy so much, why would they not fix it?

Those are two mods I think shouldn't be needed because the vanilla game should be like that anyway. But it isn't, so the mods are a huge improvement.

If you later decide that you want to do more exploring, there are some excellent mods that add extra locations. Some are DLC sized new areas with multiple quests (e.g. Fusion City Rising), some are collections of locations added into the main game by linking doors in currently unused buildings to new interior cells (e.g. Lexington Interiors, Beantown Interiors), some are both (e.g. Tales of the Commonwealth).

EDIT: You might well end up wanting a mod to shut up Preston Garvey and his endless radiant quests. The one I use is no longer recommended, so I won't recommend it. It works, but it messes with the Minutemen faction quests and can break the game. I've seen some newer ones that don't, but I don't know anything about them.

Did you previously use Widescreen Fix? If so, you need to remove the widescreen.bsa from the ini.
Are you using HUDFramework? Need to use the autopatcher.

Make sure flawless widescreen is closed too.

@Angilion thanks for the advice. I've installed Sim Settlements and will get the other 2 installed, too.

To all: I'm trying to avoid an ENB as I just feel they are total performance killers. Is there a nice reshade that anyone would recommend?

It does - even with one of the less intensive ones the performance hit was noticeable on my GTX1080 at qHD,but then again I am also running around 200 mods,including many 4K ones.

Can someone recommend mods? All I have atm is:

Enhanced Blood Textures
True Grass
Vivid Weathers
Wasteland Water Purification
WET

No big overhauls thanks, things like the above.

Some of the water mods can cause issues with Nuka World causing it to crash before you enter the main area.

there is also a 3 in 1 esp for sim settlements so you don't need separate industrial revolution or rise of the commonwealth

theres plenty of leader packs as well now for rise of the commonwealth as theres more settlements than there are companions to assign

Thanks for the replies,

I'm not using FW or any other mods for that matter, not sure what else the issue could be. Might just have to crack on in a windowed resolution instead.

Could try removing it, verifying the game on steam and then retrying, I can't think of any reason why it would crash the game.
Did you use NMM to install the standalone version?
 
Damn, Sim Settlements: Rise of the Commonwealth is immense. Having a decent looking Sanctuary without the tedium of building it piece by piece. Now I can focus on the actual RPG instead of playing sim city :D
 
I still use a mod to extend the build area slightly in case of overflow

I use the charisma option to recruit settlers and some settlements don't support 20 settlers...so I have the option of manually adding plots or building new areas to put internal settlement blocks into place

if you just leave it though it will manage itself as if there are a couple of unemployed settlers it will stop recruiting so you never end up overflowing

I love that its very configurable

and some of the designers go wild...the drive in gets very bright!
 
Yea, I've picked up the season pass for £11 so I'm looking to redo my modlist but as I say NMM isn't allowing me to log in via the desktop software and I see there's no way to download the latest version of NMM from their site.
