I know how you feel, I havent given up on this game yet though. Anyway thanks I will look at that mod. Hi hoping to pick your brain real quick. I have been modding Skyrim SE using Vortex and have 121 mods working successfully with no problems, so although its still in Alpha it is definately viable as a mod manager. Do you think it is useable for FO4? Is there any forum/post about using it with FO4 as I still rely on heavy community input to help me mod games (i.e guides and forum help etc.)

I tried Gernash's myself and it is very out of date now, I wouldnt recommend it. His suggested load order also had masters loading after there dependancies Hey dude what is the better alternative to WE 2?, there is no way I want to install that.

Wel what I have done is write a list of the mods from this guide that I really want and reduced the list significantly. I edited out all the texture and graphics stuff for a few reasons. First there are many that are convaluted to install, its not a priority fo me, there are often conflicts, they cause memory issues etc. I havent done it yet but I am going to install everything using Vortex - i wouldnt bother with NMM or mod organiser 2 - once all the stuff that matters works, then pick 5 - 10 choice graphics mods and add it on top. That is the only way of doing it I can see. I would suggest getting a txt document or pen and paper mate and writing suf down as you go about Load order, conflicts etc. Good luck!

It is definatel out of date, sorry to rain on the parade but wearable backpacks and pouches cant be installed with MO2 and it is a dependancy for the core patch. The installation of some mods like WSE is convaluted and ill explained, but you need it. There are various mistakes oversights, and a lack of explanation, i feel, on key points. Many mods have updated and have different files (not Gernash's fault obviously). 2 other things i must note. The half constructed guide is the first one that shows up on google, it sould really be removed. Second, your suggested load order is wrong, you have masters loading after there dependancies. Problem I have is that I cant install all the core mods (as I said some dont work) I also cant install the core patches, and I been skipping patches on pages because I was told to. Now I have to manually search for patches just to make this work. I would advise people with an updated note that this guide should only be taken as a general guideline at best until it is updated. Sorry to be so negative, I thought I had found the one, 3 days later im in the situation I was trying to avoid by using a guide.

Thanks for the reply. I am sure I will work it out. On another note, im reluctant to install weaponsmith extended because it looks like an absolute chore and I dont even want half the weapons. However, I do want everything else, but it says it is core. If I skip it and install everything else will it all work?

What do you mean "Vivid Weather will be depreciated in VERSION 2.2.0"? Should I not install it? Is there a new version? Also there in no NAC for PCR file, I dont know what to do. Please help!
