yet another presentation thread

[Murio Mattoni]

I already added some mods, but i haven't check in a long while, so the best mod i have is the better map on the pip boy..any recommendations? ^^

 

[Machi-tan]

Ah! I see. I have a ton of them so i can't really sort through a bunch. But if i was to give the essentials i'd definitely say:

Legendary Modifications (Lets you put the legendary tags on weapons for a fair price)
Basically you still have to find other legendary mods, scrap them, and gain chips that you use to recreate the legendary mods on other weapons. It makes modding a bit more fun because you have to hunt down parts for legendary weeapons.

Vivid fallout:
Bethesda screwed up when it came to the textures... they put like 4k textures on everything, but stretched each texture out so far that it actually looks horridous. This mod lows it to 2k, and shrinks the stretching so it actually looks better + performs better. I run on a AMD 290x and gained like 15 solid FPS from it. from like 50~55 to 65~70. Its definitely worth having because of the fact that you get a better looking game + like 20% performance boost... i mean there is no downside.

Better Settlers:
Makes the random generated Settlers look better, come with random loot that is better. And look unique by opening up some of the random generation hair styles and gear color so they don't start looking like clones of each other after like 20+ people.

Homemaker
Makes ... making settlements more interesting, you get options that you didn't get before.

Robot Home defense:
You get to use assaultrons and other robots to protect your settlement instead of turrets. It's a good time.

Spring cleaning:
Warning: Using this mod might make placing things more difficult in the long run, so if you download it and activate it, use it and then disable it.
Basically this mod lets you get rid of all the random crap laying around the settlement that looks like it doesn't belong, but you couldn't get rid of before. Like the random toilets and trash, and piles of garbage in some spots.

However, a second warning... Bethesda really shows their master level level designing by ... having the level randomly break in some spots where the garbage was. So sometimes you'll clean a spot and it'll come out beautiful and you'll feel great. Sometimes you'll clean up a spot and it will be a clean hole through the level... It's a hit and miss. You'd have to save alot to avoid any real issues. but i've used it to clean my settlements to the point where besides the ground breaking areas, they look perfect. But to each's own if you don't want to tussle with the whole... breaking the floor bits.

Now some of these mods have requirements and etc etc. But I'm sure if you've modded before you can figure your way around. That and sometimes it will explicitly say, before you use this mod, make sure to do x, y and z. And they aer usually pretty simple instructions. Let me know if you run into trouble, have questions or have anything mod related you want to share.
---------------------

As far as the institute goes, so what you're tell me is that... i could've made them see Synths as more than pack mules?

 

[Murio Mattoni]

well, the game pretty much ends when you become director, so it's up to your imagination, but yes, that's pretty much how i imagine it, it's the ending i prefere, since it doesn't matter how bad the institute can be, there's no reason to blow up the facilities, they can help. honestly i would have followed someone else if that meant to take over the facilities, but apparently that was too smart for other factions to do...

anyway i can't believe how good these mods are, i'm definetively gonna try them, especially the one that improve stability (i have random fps drops for no reasons sometimes)
legendary modifications is also amazing, i can't believe it's not in the vanilla game, legendary weapons are just a pain, i don't feel like spending hours grinding them and i always found the right legendary tag on the wrong weapon (almost 9/10 are melee in my game .-.)

about the settlements, i thought that i would wait until the geck kit (i think it's almost ready), but looks like there are already settlements mods, that's honestly a surprise.
is there anything that allows me to import settlements made by players? last time i checked, the only way was to import their whole save

 

[Machi-tan]

Yeah bro, as far as in game stability goes, Bethesda didn't do so hot with this game. The FPS drops are insane.

At the moment sadly no importing settlements. The closest thing is being able to plop down whole made buildings by some creators, but those are never popular enough to make it on the nexus so you have to look in some forums for them.

The building settlements is great once you get a few of the building mods, it feels like playing the sims... cept fallout... i got tired of the grind and now i spend hours just walking around helping settlers while i procrastinate on work.

And i can't wait for the companion mods to come out + more questing mods that are interesting. I mean i love bethesda but after the 19494th time I was asked to help a random settlement... i was feeling underwhelmed. I mean the game does have it's great moments. But the random quests could use a wider variety. Thank god for mods right?

"Yeah bro, as far as in game stability goes, Bethesda didn't do so hot with this game. The FPS drops are insane."

wich is sad because i had this drops mostly in the southern area, and that place was a goldmine for sniping, i could do that all day.

oh well, i hope that settlements gets a better overall export import system soon, that will make them go viral

and indeed let's hope for better companions, i liked vincent, i liked cait and curie, and i freaking love strong, anyone else is just not interesting for me
