[Fallout 4] Modding "Fallout 4". Mods and discussion within
- Thread starter Mad Season
- Start date
I've made very low level mods for Fallout 3 and Skyrim. Basically stuff to customize the game to my tastes (the fast travel speed multiplier, custom weapons and changing up certain hairstyles for example) and some real minor quests to show to my friends.
I would put them in the game as NPCs and have them ask for embarrassing stuff to solve their personal quests. All of this through the GECK, of course. The amount of things people have been able to make for FO4 through TESVEdit is totally incredible to me.

Anyone thinking about doing a mod, and need an idea for their first, maybe can find some inspiration here:

The world in Fallout 4 absolutely needs some tweeks.

yea man, the new fallout patch broke the mods, theres a sticky about it on the fallout 4 reddit. Had to go through some hoops to get them to work again and the main issue is the fallout 4 launcher, it changes the .ini file, which breaks the mods. Having to go into the nexus to disable and then re-enable every mod everytime I closed down fallout was a pain in the ass.
So what I did was just use the Fallout 4 script extender launcher instead to completely bypass the official fallout 4 launcher. After doing that, all my mods are back and I dont have to keep turning them off and on again.
you dont even need script extender, if you just update Nexus Mod manager, it allows you to launch the game just fine through that instead.

Yeah man. I at least have the easy to see ones. Just updated NMM and they should work.

That patch ruined my performance. Now I get stuttering everywhere...
NM, looks like it might have been related to a mod. Turned it off and seems better. Had me worried >_<

Which mod?
Well, I've just started if that counts >.<
Currently creating Vault 13 Vault suit using the proper font from FO1/2, It's taken me 2 days to finally understand FO4 Normal and Specular maps and how to save them in the correct format using Intel's beta plugin for Photoshop for the BC5 .dds format. Now I just have an issue with the mipmaps being a prick and giving me white borders around the diffuse texture.
Otherwise I'm going to replace the combat rifle with the R91 from FO3, found a great deviantart for modded versions and I'm going off that, once the NIF team gets their stuff fully compatible I'll be able to put that in. It's interesting how all the weapons are actually separated into their separate mod parts in their .nifs.

It was something called shadow boost. It was a manually installed one
It'll be on XBO first, and PS4 a few months later. That's all we know so far. The PC mod tools will be released next month, so we'll see that actual mods and creations following that. It's gonna be a bit weird getting the mods on consoles, as they're obviously not gonna upload every single mod to the marketplace.

Ah ok!! I thought the tools were already available for PC!
Hopefully not long after it we can see that dropping for XB1.
And yeah, I'm sure many mods won't be released for consoles, but there may be enough to give the game some more life! =)

Not really sure I would call that one better.
Nah, what we're seeing now are basically just hacks to the game script. The mod tools will allow people to actually create and implement stuff like weapons, armor, quests, locations, gameplay tweaks, and other additions.
Yeah it's not really "better" as much as just different. While it is higher res, it lacks a lot of the shadow details in the vanilla texture which makes it actually look flatter than the vanilla ones. In some angles it also has a lot of visual noise which doesn't look great. I hope we'll get POM brickwalls at some point because I'm starting to absolutely hate flat brickwalls in current-gen games. I was actually really hopeful that on this gen, POM brickwalls etc. would be almost automatic, no questions asked. Playing Dying Light as a texture slut the first thing I noticed was how the brickwalls didn't have POM like they did in the very first gameplay reveal the game had and in a very old interview where a techland guy was asked how they would put into use the new power of new consoles, he said that they could do things like having individual bricks actually have shape in their textures now. Shame those didn't pan out. I know I'm propably being petty and nitpicking but it's one of my pet peeves
The reason I ask is because I would like to make 4k textures for Valentine. I have relatively strong background in textures but as a newcomer to fo4, I dont have experience unpacking the correct files. Do you by chance have the ability to quickly (please dont waste a day on it heh) provide the files for the current textures used? I believe he is partially using synth face textures or something - read about it on nexus - so people havent done full mods yet. I dont really want to do modify anything but the face at this point since im pretty sure you can dress him up in whatever. I could do a better version of his coat as well though.

after 35 hours and almost 300 dollars worth of upgrades to my computer to be able to run this game better, i just can't take the jankiness of this game anymore.
Are there are challenge rebalances worth looking into yet? I don't like bullet sponge enemies at all

I've had that happen a few times without any mods at all, seems to just be a fallout 4 thinganyone having weird resolution problems with f4se? I decided to use it because of mod compatibility, but it's had strange effects on my resolution where the playing area is much smaller than the actual monitor area:

This happens for me sometimes (1440p) if I switch to desktop (with windows key) in loading sequences. Don't use any graphic mods.

You might have to manually put your resolution into the .ini file.

Early 2016 is all they've said from what I remember. Mods for XB1 go up then too, with PS4 support later in the year.
thanks to everyone who offered advice, turns out it was the display scaling setting inside the properties of f4se in windows 10 with higher dpi settings.
just in case anyone is curious, just right click f4se and go to the compatibility tab and check the box to disable display scaling on high dpi settings.

goddamn the wait for a survival mode mod is killing me
Yeah, I've always loved basic needs mods in my Bethesda games, so I'll be excited when the GECK comes out so I can experience it here.

Player No Longer Rudely Interrupting Dialogue
This removes the extremely annoying "mhmm", "uhuh", "right" when you skip dialog.

I loved doing that at the most inappropriate moments though.
Imagine it's like some crucial point of the story (making this up, no spoilers) where a character is like "oh god, he's wiping out our army, we have to stop h--" "mhm".
Your character sounds like such a dick and it's hilarious to do it lol.

I can't wait to get mods on the Xbox One. I know there won't be graphical advancements but would love for a way to make outfits in to armour. Want an atom cats outfit with more protection.
Also is there any mods out to change Synths into terminators...

I didn't even think of that. Or when you're on drugs too.
