Almost sorted my plugin order...but what the heck are these:

Compatibility patch - AWKCR - RGBO.esp
CWMR-FH-Patch-BetterArmorandWeaponNaming-FarHarbour.esp
CWMR-FH-Patch-ValdacilsItemSorting-DLCFarHarbor.esp

and do I need them? :)

 

Guess I'll go to sauna and finish up later...

[Gernash]

nope, people keep asking for stuff before I'm ready so I just post current stuff I use files as references while making patches. THE Wiki is correct my load order has extras you don't have or need.

 

I'm change core elements so once I have something set in stone then the changes stop..ie weaponsmith for Modern weapons, workshop rearranged for modwiki etc

 

while balistics are in flux I have like 12 mods for comparrison running at the same time to see what I can squeeze out of it.

Thanks, just wanted to make sure :) Looks like might finally get to play the darn game again tonight. Awesome :)

Going to insert my notes regarding the installation, typoes questions and clarifications etc...feel free to ignore, nothing major as far as I can tell, just nitpicking (I'm an test engineer by trade so comes naturally to me :) )

unselect Changelog.txt

Settlement Objects Expansion Pack
Fomods installation: Also select Auto Doors Patch
Version 1.5.6 installation package shows to be version 1.5.5 when installed. Manually correct it to 1.5.6

Place Everywhere
Manual installation: Select proper data directory
Optional download Place.ini - togglable
Manual installation: Select proper data directory
Merge to main mod
Reason: F8 toggles the place anywhere mode on and off

Renovated Furniture
Manual installation: Select proper data directory

Auto Doors
Fomod installation instructions, select English, Far Harbour, Homemaker - Expanded Settlements and Snap'n Build

Auto Doors Vault-Tec Unofficial Patch
Could be merged to Auto Doors mod?
Change category in MO2 (could be just me, says Factions after installation)

Workshop Rearranged
Merge the additional and optional file to main mod
Manually update the version from 0.51 to 0.5.1 (if you merge)

Tookie's Textures-Grass and Plants
Manual installation: Select proper data directory
Rationale required for the OPTIONAL FILES - ElmAtlas and LOD
When would this be good to install regarding the core and the plugins?

Vivid Fallouts - Landscapes
Vivid Fallouts - Landscapes - 2.2 - by Hein84
Version 2.2 misleading as the main download is version 2.1 and only after update it'll become 2.2
Manual installation: Select proper data directory
Update:
Manual installation: Select proper data directory. Merge to the main mod

Better Quarry Sites
Manual installation: Select proper data directory

Delightful Ivy - HD Vine Retexture - a natural and realistic green and brown plant overhaul
Is also in the Plugin section, some explanation regarding reinstallation etc if required would be good or just remove it from the plugin section?
If selecting anything other than the mixed color version of the mod, version information is not the latest. I'd argue one could just manually change the version to 1.2 to not have a red version number staring at you...or just use the ignore version feature.

PLUGIN: Landscape Texture and LOD Replacements - Original Landscape Texture and LOD Replacements
A blurb regarding the possibility to just install what you fancy perhaps? I installed only WET mod and skipped the rest. As I assume these are mostly textures, it shouldn't matter that much?

WET - Water Enhancement Textures
Fomod installation instructions missing. I chose WET Clearer (I assume WET Rain optional is handled better with vivid weathers mod?)
Rationale for the Clearer option, irradiated water doesn't exactly team with microbes and such which tends to make the water less murky.

Misc Item Textures:
TYPO: Falloutcustom.ini should be Fallout4Custom.ini
You want bUseCombinedObjects=0 to both Fallout4.ini and Fallout4Custom.ini. Shouldn't just the one entry in Fallout4Custom.ini be sufficient (I assume it overrides the settings in the Fallout4.ini)
I suggest you gather all the ini edits to one place as well

Langleys HD Textures Workshop
Manual installation: Select proper data directory
Hide instructions. Path missing architecture, should be \textures\architecture\Shacks
AND textures\architecture\unique
Instead of saying all, hide the unique folder it self
as with Trashbin, hide whole folder

Dynamic Interior Fog Removal
MAIN FILES - Dynamic Interior Fog Removal - Main Files -> DIFR - Main Files
ADDITIONAL - Dynamic Interior Fog Removal - VIS Patch -> DIFR - VIS Patch
Merge DIFR - VIS Patch to main mod
Change category in MO2 (could be just me, says Cheats after installation)

TYPO: Add as executable HUDMenuSet.exe mane as DEF_UI UI -> ...name...

Better Mod Descriptions

ZephyrWarrior's F4 Power Armor Overhaul - Update In Progress - Extensive and Lore Friendly
Manual installation texture pack. Correct the version in MO2 to 0.9.7.3

Choose a texture pack either low, standard or high and extract/merger into a new folder "ZW's F4 Power Armor Overhaul-Textures" this folder is lower on the mod list and gets overwritten by "ZW's F4 Power Armor Overhaul"
Doesn't the texture pack overwrite the overhaul?

Achievements
Fails to install correctly from MO2. MO2 hangs and has to be killed. Folder structure is created by the dll is 0 size. Solution is to copy the achievements.dll from the downloaded archive manually to the mod folder.

Yeah Darth Mathias and Neovalyn are the top skyrim pack authors in my opinion....the SRLE Extended LoTD, if done verbatim and without stray, is a literal ******* mega mountain of a modded game lol....Mathias took the SRLE Base and went crazy with it...Myself and a bunch of others finally convinced him to try and integrate LoTD as it is easily the BEST skyrim mod for collectors like myself. Icecreamassasin is a goddamn modding ******* guru dude.

butanyways, for the textures section I noticed you also had us hide a bunch of stuff so they don't get overwritten?

[Gilgamesh2k5]

hey bro for arbitration do you reccomend modular in the fomod or just the reccomended core?

[LordKee]

Note to myself...turn off the WOTC spawns before surfacing from the vault at start. That was brutal :)

LMAO! I done that myself a while back was greeted to the new world by 6 Radroaches to the right then to the left 6 Molerats who mind you had mines attached to them, Once they were defeated was introduced to 6 Feral Ghouls which i barely survived since a Glowing One jumped out of nowhere and on the way to see Codsworth i get snipped down by a Patrol of Super Mutants....

[Gilgamesh2k5]

holy **** haha!

[Gilgamesh2k5]

did anyone ask him where to place the mods from the better settlers clothing pack? they are listed in the PA plugin but in his guide they are under the NPC overhaul...

[Gernash]

Yawn

[Gilgamesh2k5]

hewro

[pStyl3]

Not that it is my job or place to say anything, but is all this "(f)uck, dude, broo, zzzzzzz, OKOKOKKOK, :D, yawn" really necessary? This is the step forum, not Skype or something else.

 

I get it's fun to create a guide like this, and it's great that you guys show such enthusiasm, but a bit less of the above would definitely be great aswell.

[Gernash]

Opps(I think I can say oops) I forgot to include the fomod. I'll in a sec (I mean I will perform that task as soon as I am able)

why do you feel the need to say this dude? Not trying to be a dick or anything but if someone wants to find an answer to a question on a forum they can do a manual search to the post..however if it is bothering you so much that you need to say something about it, I will tone it down a bit.

[Gernash]

I'd say it coming up as notification on main page under latest posts so what you say here is seen by everyone. I've sent a pm to TechAngel85 to see if it can be disabled.

 

I also have moderation privileges over this thread, I have been meaning to go through and cull all the superfluous posts to help those that skim content, but have been focusing on getting the MODWiki to an acceptable level for seamless game play.

 

I did this because I like MO and wanted to use it and have seen no helpful guides out there at all.

 

If you read the guide, I'd hope it comes across in the S.T.E.P vibe and not in the casual manor that I, or others Post in here. Anyone that has communicated to me in forums of private PM's will know that I approach each question with consideration and in a professional manor.

 

If I feel somebody is making rude, malicious or (In my opinion) "over the top" comments I have reigned them in.

 

I personally do not feel that the post's that have appeared here are too out of control, but I do understand the language level is high from some users. I'm sure that can be toned down. But "Dude" and "Bro" is how some people speak and I'll not demand "toffy" messages, I can clearly understand what they are asking or explaining.

 

That being said, If anyone has an issue with myself of any posts in THIS thread I'd appropriate a personal message, rather than an open post, which as an opinion is valid but (as with the message I sent to techangle85) can be resolved in a better way.

 

Thank you.

Gernash
