Diligently following FO4 STEP Guide, but can I omit certain textures without effecting patch, etc?

 

Can I omit or substitute TEXTURES? (Don't want suggested PA Overhaul mod - maybe not canon, but I like to think even in a dystopian world if I wanted painted armor I would keep it nice...)

Can I omit or substitute body enhancers? (Use CBBE instead of suggested Vanilla, etc.)

Please clarify on replacements or omissions that do not involve game mechanics or dependencies.

Thanks again!!

I cannot very well speak to mods I haven't tested as to their compatibility with the guide. The guide itself, however, is very compatible as a base, so you likely will not suffer much difficulty adding mods or replacing mods so long as they are not flagged as being a part of the Step Patches. Textures especially are typically compatible, and substituting alternative bodies should work just fine. Nevertheless, I haven't tested any of them, and I'm speaking in general terms.

In skyrim, body replacers come with all sorts of compatibility headaches though ... some of them caused by plugin records. Not sure how it works in FO though.

Well yes, body mods come with compatibility concerns of their own, but I don't think any of the mods in the guide will amplify it.

Thanks everyone!
