Is there a mod that lets you remove all the shit dead grass in settlements? I fucking hate that shit especially in sanctuary hills.

Found these two, they seem to remove it from everywhere though.

(there was a 3rd one called Re-Growth, but seems to have been removed. There's screens of it a couple of pages back)

There's also this which cleans up a lot of them mess in settlements, don't think it changes the dead grass though, just bushes, weeds and some trees.

This one is my favorite though, it makes a lot of Sanctuary look like pre-war Sanctuary, doesn't get rid of all the dead grass though, only some of it.

These new radio stations are excellent!

What type of music? Can you get the classical music channel back?

 

[gossi]

What type of music? Can you get the classical music channel back?

There's one called Atomic Radio on Xbox, which is all old style music, which 60 something voice actors, with talk radio and adverts for Nuka Cola and such. It's *really* well done.

3fps??

That's pretty bad right?

No. It's less than 10% frame rate loss with 40+ mods installed. As a reminder my game looks like this:

 

[gossi]

Haha, the dog mods are arriving. Huskymeat.

 

[Retrozocker]

Is that only Spring in the C. or other stuff as well? I just tried only SitC only and walked around Diamond City a bit. Looked kinda funny hehe, everything looks worn down and suddenly you have some corners with some nice grass growing...

That's SitC and a bunch more, although the grass there is just SitC.

 

[Simon Belmont]

Oh God I want Dogmeat to be a Golden.

I forgot Fallout 4 is going to get mods for consoles. I haven't finished the storyline yet (my f finished her own game though). I think adding some mods will motivate me to hop back in.

What are the current console must have mods?

What mods are you using right now? (any graphic changing ones)

 

[chaislip3]

gossi mentioned the excellent Atomic Radio mod, and I've found that WRVR is a pretty good mod station too.

 

[Calibos]

Man...I was a crazy person to dismiss Mods as a reason to come back to Fallout 4. Just installing the Darker nights, Lighting overhaul and Spring in the Commonwealth mods has made it feel like a fresh game.

The side effect is that I want to do everything at night though.


Has there been any word on separating out cosmetic mods from disabling achievements?

 

[Rellik]

Oh god. When this releases for my PS4, my PS4 is going to explode with all these mods I'll add. What a time.

 

[GiantBombGamer]

Gah finally was getting my mods set up and got disconnected from the servers and now can't get back in :-(

 

[The Albatross]

For Darker Nights, do the NPCs respond appropriately? I've always avoided night mods because I figured that NPCs and enemies still had the same ability to see, and that it's just hampering the player. Is this so?

3fps??

That's pretty bad right ?

Also, any idea if there is a mod that allowd you to wear a style of clothing? Like, I would have the stats of a peice of strong armor but the style of a different armor.

A drop of 3fps for those visual mods is surprisingly good, IMO. I was expecting much worse on consoles.

I'm hoping for a mod that adds more visual flora to the trees and grass but tries to keep the FPS loss to a minimum. The new grass looks great (Spring in the Commonwealth) but having the wasteland still covered in barren, leaf-less trees doesn't do ti fo rme. I'd rather have 50% less grass and ~25% more leaves and visual flora.

For modding armor to be stronger, that'd be a very easy mod to build. I'm considering buying FO4 on PC to start modding, and editing a piece of armor to be stronger is very simple using the Creation Kit.

There's a perk which increases your stealth - dump points into that to counter.

Engine wise it's possible to dynamically alter enemy visibility based on time of day, I don't know if any console mods do that yet.

 

[ryan299]

I keep getting emails for commenting on a mod. How do I make it stop? it's ridiculous

 

[gossi]

Anybody interested in a mod to bring the Fallout console to, uh, console? I think I just found a way to do it.

 

[etta]

Haha, the dog mods are arriving. Huskymeat.

Is this a work in progress? I can't find anything with Husky in the word on the site.

Also, where's the increased carry weight mod?

 

[Huge Succeeded]

Darker Nights does affect NPC vision as well as your own. It's much easier to stealth during the pitch black night, as it should be.

Dude that's fucking huge. Do it. Console on Console would be the single most useful mod on console. Even just having access to tcl would be a game changer in terms of fixing game-breaking bugs and dicking around within the world.

 

[gossi]

It was there earlier, but appears to have disappeared. Quite possible the mod owner deleted it, mod creators can do that.

Also, where's the increased carry weight mod?

Search for Weight, there's a ton. E.g. Improved Carry Weight, or Dogmeat's Backpack.

Cool, I'll see how it runs on XB1, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

By the way, tcl works via the Cheat Mod - under the Cheats you can now tgm and tcl.

Also, here's Cuddles The Gorilla, a new companion.

 

[etta]

What about an infinite AP?

So how do the console handle load order and conflicts? Is this just kind of a install it and pray situation, or do you have control over load order?

There's a button for load order. You can manually reorder then, if you want. Otherwise it will do it.

Also, somebody asked about what happens if a mod is banned. I have an answer. "Cheat Menu" (most popular mod) has been removed for unknown reasons from store. However I still have installed in game.

 

[psylah]

No boobs

 

[gossi]

New mod - WET - Water Enhancement Textures. It's the full WET mod from PC across to Xbox.

Adds water foaming, rain ripples, drops, waterfall textures and meshes, splash textures etc.

 

[paragonpro]

I guess the better lights darker nights mod was removed?

Edit: just downloaded the light overhaul, see if that does anything

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I demand Pugmeat.

Have you tried it? It is the kind of mod which I thought would destroy the fps.

 

[The Wise Old Man]

Alright modders, I have given you enough time and nobody's created a fully playable Skyrim mod for this game. Get cracking!

 

[Tigress]

Us PS4 owners waiting

Yep, it's a lucky thing for me No Man's Sky is delayed cause then I can try out mods (and also get my survival character powerful enough to go try Far Harbor. After what I hear I'm excited to try it out. I hear they brought the RPG back to Fallout in it.

 

[Tigress]

Alright modders, I have given you enough time and nobody's created a fully playable Skyrim mod for this game. Get cracking!

Nah, if we are going to be that demanding forget Skyrim, do New Vegas!!!!! (I have a hard time though seeing what differences 4 brought being something that would matter much to Skyrim. Save settlement building. A lot of it is aimed at gunplay, something we don't get in Skyrim).

Oooh, that kinda reminds me... is there a bow and arrow or crossbow mod for Fallout 4?

 

[chaislip3]

Are there any good quest mods available yet?

 

[Militaratus]

I'm sure one day, a sneaky modder will add this while only advertising and showing off other legal modded things.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Now all you Xbox owners are going to know what it's like to spend hundreds of hours playing with mods, and half an hour actually playing the game. It's addictive.

 

[gossi]

I guess the better lights darker nights mod was removed?

It's still there: https://mods.bethesda.net/#en/workshop/fallout4/mod-detail/916139

I'm using it. Highly recommended, with PipBoy Flashlight mod it is a total game changer.

Here's two shots showing lighting changes. Sunrise:

Middle of the night, pitch black, just using Pip Boy Flashlight. The shadows are all dynamic from the flashlight - it is crazy.

Have you tried it? It is the kind of mod which I thought would destroy the fps.

Here is WET in action, taken from my Xbox One. Performance is absolutely fine.

 

[Figboy79]

I'm really looking forward to this coming to PS4.

I remember Unreal on PS3 had mod support, and that was a lot of fun. Some of the best mods were PC only still, of course, but it was cool. I tried my hand at creating some myself, but didn't really have the time or talent to pull it off.

My wife is addicted to mods, and that's really the only way she'll play stuff like Fallout or Skyrim. She modded the fuck out of those on the gaming PC I built. Well, up until she bumped a glass of water onto the computer and it shorted out the video card. Miraculously enough, the card was the only thing that got damaged. The rest of the computer is fine, and it's currently just running on the on board GPU until I buy another video card. On the upside. I now have an excuse to buy a new one! The previous one was awesome, and I had no problems running anything, but I was tempted to buy a new one, but didn't really have a reason to, since it was so nice. In the meantime, my wife is suffering from PC withdrawals, and is instead playing Minecraft and Fallout and Dark Souls 3 on her PS4. She's more of a PC gamer, and I'm more of a console gamer. Mods are the main reason she prefers PC.

 

[CyberPunked]

I think it would be, but the sacrifices necessary would likely make the game rather unimpressive. like if the resolution was lowered to 1024×576 and the lowest level of LOD was used for all the models and only 128x128 textures were used there's no reason 60 FPS wouldn't be attainable :/

I don't think you understand. The mod tools do not provide that level of control.

 

[gossi]

Somebody asked about mod reordering, here's the reordering UI:

If Bethesda.net is unavailable, you can still use the UI - you just see the .ESP files to manipulate rather than the friendly mod names.

 

[disappeared]

gossi, are a lot of mods so far Far Harbor reliant?

 

[Recall]

I can't wait for more perks, unlimited crafting materials and stat checking in quests.

 

[DiabloTheGrey]

A couple of questions...

If you save a game with a mod installed and later decide to delete the mod, does it affect your previous save that had the mod on it? Can you continue on in that save?

Is it possible for a creator to make a Tranquillity Lane style quest? That was one of my favorite parts in Fallout 3.

 

[gossi]

A few are. I've noticed no DLC versions are starting to appear.

More perks, companion perks, unlimited crafting materials and stats quests are there.

If you save a game with a mod installed and later decide to delete the mod, does it affect your previous save that had the mod on it?

Depends on the mod. E.g. if you used a mod to disable gravity and uninstalled the mod without re-enabling gravity.. There will be no gravity.

Is it possible for a creator to make a Tranquillity Lane style quest? That was one of my favorite parts in Fallout 3.

You can do anything the Bethesda quest developers do. So you can do new zones etc.

 

[lt519]

Excited for this for PS4, will warrant a second trip through the wastelands with a different character build.

 

[TheStruggler]

I have a ps4 so waiting for mods to release, but what are the must have mods right now, that won't break the game fps wise much? One I want I have seen is the gun mods where the guns are up-to date

Depending on the mod, it CAN have a serious affect on the save file. Especially one that create unique assets that require it to be loaded in early. Speaking as a PC player, some mods that are removed can make the game unstable (crashes).

So yeah, it just depends on what type of mod you'd be removing.
