Title: Waiting on that part of my brain to come up with something decent.

Game

DLC Required

Wasteland Workshop
Automatron
Far Harbour
Contraptions Workshop
Vault-Tec Workshop
Nuka-World

Introduction

If you're following this guide I'm going to make an ass of you and me and assume that you know what you're doing when it comes to modding Bethesda games.

I'll do my best to have the mods here ordered in a way that makes sense, though my usual install methodology is to go down the list of the top 100 mods and install them one after the other.

I tend to favor lore friendly mods that spice up the visuals, as well as grabbing as many lore friendly weapon and armour mods as I can fit into a load order.

I'll include reminders to run LOOT and to check that your game isn't derping out after each section.

Here's my PC's config if you're into that sort of thing, it's probably worth mentioning that this guide will favor high fidelity over FPS, with little to no compromises:

CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K @ 4.2Ghz
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 980Ti @ 1440Mhz / 7Ghz
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz CL9
Mobo: MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard
SSDs: 2x Kingston HyperX 120GB RAID0

Using Kesta's flares and fancy mod sections.

Getting Started

First things first: Install the game

Whether via steam or some other platform, it's usually a good idea to install the game to a directory that isn't Steam's default.
That is to say, anywhere that isn't either C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86).

Below is a small walkthrough of how to set up a secondary install location in Steam.
If you have a second hard drive or an SSD just for games, then you have no doubt done this already.

Drivers & Applications

Whilst the game is downloading, this is the perfect time to prepare the other applications that we're going to use.

Update your graphics card drivers

Nvidia drivers can be found here.
AMD drivers can be found here.

Choose a text editing program

There are a few choices here, the main two being Notepad++ and Sublime Text 3.

Once you have chosen a text editor you should set it as the default program to open both .ini and .txt files.

To do this go to your Fallout 4 directory and right click an ini file such as Fallout4_Default.ini, then select Open With > Choose another app.
Ensure that Always use this app to open .ini files is ticked, then scroll down the list and click More apps > Look for another app on this PC.
Point Windows to the editor's executable file.

For Notepad++ this is a file named notepad++.exe located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++

For Sublime Text this is a file named sublime_text.exe located in C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3

Repeat this process for .txt files as well.

Next, install an archiving program like WinRAR

I've been using WinRAR forever, so it's just what I'm familiar with. It's available in 32bit and 64bit versions.

Another option is 7-zip, which is also available in 32bit and 64bit flavors.

Run the game for the first time

This will set up the necessary registry entries and will create two files in your documents inside of \Documents\My Games\Fallout4

Fallout4.ini
Fallout4Prefs.ini

Nexus Mod Manager

Mod Organizer 2 has frustrating problems when installing a mod with multiple options, the menus simply don't work on some mod installers so you'll be stuck with the default settings.
This is quite a shame as Mod Organizer 2 is more feature complete then NMM, and I prefer it greatly. NMM will work fine for our purposes however until Mod Organizer 2 is fixed.

You can download Nexus Mod Manager from this link.

Install Nexus Mod Manager and point it to your Fallout 4 install directory, create a folder on the same drive as your Fallout 4 install that will hold all of your mods.
When you first select Fallout 4 as the game to use with NMM, it will ask where to install your mods, and where to keep the install info. Choose the folder on the same drive as your Fallout 4 install.
Go to the mods tab and under Categories, click Categories: expand all categories, this will just make it easier to see the mods that you're going to be downloading.

Next you're going to need to log into Nexus Mod Manager using your Nexus account. This will enable you to download mods over 2MB through NMM.

LOOT

LOOT is a tool that automates load order optimization, it is also able to tell you if a mod has dirty edits and needs cleaning. You are able to run it through Nexus Mod Manager.

TOOL

LOOT - Load Order Optimization Tool - v0.11.0 - by WrinklyNinja

MAIN FILES - LOOT v0.11.0 - Installer

Installation :

Download the installer and either save the file or use 'Open With > WinRAR'
Extract the installer or double click it to run it
Create an easy to access folder to hold all of your modding tools and install LOOT to it
Restart Nexus Mod Manager if it is open already, you should now be able to launch LOOT from the Supported Tools menu

FO4Edit

FO4Edit is a powerful tool that has a myriad of features. We'll be using it to automate the cleaning process of mods with dirty edits.
Here's a guide for using xEdit to clean your mods.

TOOL

FO4Edit - 3.2 - by xEdit Team

MAIN FILES - FO4Edit 3.2

Installation :

Download the latest version and either save the file or use 'Open With > WinRAR'
Extract the files to a new folder called FO4Edit inside of your modding tools folder
In the Supported Tools menu of NMM, click 'Config FO4Edit' and point it to the 'FO4Edit.exe' file
You can now launch FO4Edit from Nexus Mod Manager

INI Tweaks

BethINI

TOOL

BethINI - 2.5 - by Vuud

MAIN FILES - BethINI

Installation :

Download the latest version and either save the file or use 'Open With > WinRAR'
Extract the folder named BethINI to your modding tools folder
Navigate to this folder and run BethINI.exe
Select Fallout 4 from the list of available games

Once you've selected Fallout 4 from the list, the full program will load
Have a look around at the different settings on the 'Basic' tab, the tooltips will give you more information
Below are the settings I shall be using, this is the BethINI Ultra preset with a few small tweaks:

Manual Tweaks

Make a copy of 'Fallout4.ini' inside of \Documents\My Games\Fallout4 and name it 'Fallout4Custom.ini'; this is the file we will be editing.

Open Fallout4Custom.ini in your chosen text editor and scroll down to the [Interface] section. If you have played the game a lot before you can disable the tutorial messages by adding 'bShowTutorials=0' at the bottom of the section so that it looks like this:

[Interface]
fSafeZoneX=15.0
fSafeZoneXWide=64.0
fSafeZoneXWide16x10=64.0
fSafeZoneY=15.0
fSafeZoneYWide16x10=36.0
bShowTutorials=0

We're going to improve the readability of the in-game console by adding a new section underneath the [MapMenu] section.

Copy this text and add it underneath 'uLockedTerrainLOD=32' in the [MapMenu] section:

[Menu]  
iConsoleSizeScreenPercent=65
iConsoleTextSize=16 
rConsoleHistoryTextColor=153,160,153
rConsoleTextColor=255,255,255 
rDebugTextColor=255,235,222

For the Immersive Maps mod to display in colour, we need to disable the effects of the Pipboy. To do this, add this section into Fallout4Custom.ini:

[Pipboy]
bPipboyDisableFX=1

If you're interested in learning more about the different settings available in the .ini files, you can check out InsanePlumber's post here.

Extenders and Plugins

Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE)

This is an essential mod that continues the work from the Skyrim Script Extender.

CORE

F4SE - 0.4.0 - by Ian Patterson, Stephen Abel, and Brendan Borthwick

MAIN FILES - f4se_0_04_00.7z

Installation :

Download F4SE by clicking the 7z archive button at the top of the page

Either save the file or use 'Open With > WinRAR'
Copy across the following files and directories to your Fallout 4 root folder (where Fallout4.exe is located)
- \Data
- CustomControlMap.txt
- f4se_1_9_4.dll
- f4se_loader.exe
- f4se_steam_loader.dll
In Nexus Mod Manager click the arrow by 'Launch Fallout4' and then click the 'Launch F4SE' button
You will notice that a console window opens briefly; shortly after the game will load
This will be your way to start the game from now on

Shadow Boost

Shadow Boost dynamically controls the the shadow draw distance in Fallout 4 to attempt to keep you at a specified framerate.

CORE

Shadow Boost - v1.9.4.0 - by Alexander Blade

MAIN FILES - ShadowBoost_1.9.4.0.zip

Installation :

Download Shadow Boost by clicking the Download button towards the bottom of the page
Either save the file or use 'Open With > WinRAR'
Copy across the following files and directories to your Fallout 4 root folder (where Fallout4.exe is located)
- ShadowBoost.asi
- ShadowBoost.ini
- xinput1_3.dll

You can modify ShadowBoost.ini if you wish, however I find that the default settings work fine:

fTargetFramerate= - This setting determines your desired framerate, if you are playing with vsync or an fps lock enabled then be sure to keep it at least a couple fps lower than the maximum, otherwise the plugin won't increase the shadow draw distance when you reach that framerate.
fDistChangeSpeed= - This setting determines how quickly the shadow distance will change. The safe range is between 0.5 and 5.0.
fShadowDrawDistMin= - This setting determines the minimum distance that shadows will render.
fShadowDrawDistMax= - This setting determines the maximum distance that shadows will render. Users with lower-end PCs may want to reduce this setting.

Essentials

These mods are here because they need to be installed before other mods further down this guide, installing them now will just make things easier later on.

For each of these mods, and the mods in each further section, the required files will usually be downloadable via Nexus Mod Manager by simply pressing the 'Download With Manager' button in the files tab of the mod.

The file or files to download will be specified as being under either the Main Files, Optional Files, or Update section of the files tab.

Workshop Lightbulb Emittance Fix

CORE

Workshop Lightbulb Emittance Fix - 1.0 - by fadingsignal

Files to download :

MAIN FILES - Workshop Lightbulb Emittance Fix

Description :
"This is a very simple mesh replacer to fix the problematic vanilla Workshop light bulbs.

There are numerous problems with lights in Fallout 4, but this one was particularly frustrating because it was NOT related to power. In some areas, light bulbs, while receiving power and lighting up just fine will suddenly only emit an extremely dim, dull white light. Many have said this happens for them at The Castle, and for me the problem areas were Tenpines Bluff and Greygarden.

The issue is -- as with previous Bethesda engines -- layers of blending effects will easily confuse the engine. The default Workshop lightbulb has alpha transparency on the bulb glass, with an internal filament component -- which could never be seen in-game anyway, and made the light node glitch and not emit in certain viewing situations."

Wasteland Workshop:

Adds in increased settlement attacks from creatures and enemies in the Wasteland when you capture creatures and people in cages. Want more deathclaw attacks? Capture a deathclaw and the chances of them attacking your settlement increases.

Far Harbor:

Adds a new faction of attackers to the list, trappers on Far Harbor.

Until now in order to get one you had to give up the others. This mod combines the records so they will all happen will happen. For load order be sure you load it after any DLC. Build up your defenses, because your settlements are gonna need you."

Files to download :

MAIN FILES - Vault 81 Mole Rat Disease Fix

Description :
"Although lore-wise the disease is contracted after being bitten by an infected Mole Rat, in-game the player can contract the disease a number of other ways:

The player's companion is attacked by an infected Mole Rat
A friendly NPC is attacked by an infected Mole Rat
An infected Mole Rat attacks anything at all
The player happens to be in the right section of Vault 81 and the game just f%$#ing feels like it

The root cause of each of these scenarios is a missing condition check on the "Give Disease" effect that Vault 81 Mole Rats carry. Rather than triggering the effect whenever the player is attacked, the effect triggers whenever ANYONE is attacked by an infected Mole Rat, and sometimes when the Disease effect is initiated. Since the effect is a script that manually applies the disease to the player, any attack by an infected Mole Rat on ANYTHING will give the player Mole Rat Disease."

"Auto Doors 2.0 uses new way to automate doors and was rewritten from scratch. New esp, new scripts, some new textures and meshes (well it's a edited vanilla actually)!

This mod addes craftable devices that will allow to automate your settlement doors. There are three main type of devices, some have few types:

Door Closing Mechanism - this device will automatically close opened door after some time. It's snapable to wall and should be placed as close to door as posible. When (re)placed script attached to this device will find door and start continuously scan it status.
Door Sensor - thee are to types of door sensors, one with internal power (Autonom) source and one that should be powered externally (External). External door sensor will not consume power unit but if not powered it will not work (mostly like a lamp). Both door sensors when attached to door will continuously scan area for actors (player or any other NPC) and when one approach to setted distance will open door, once actor leave range it will close door.
Keycard panel - there are three types of panels, each differed by color: blue, red, yellow. When attached to door it will continuously scan door status and if it closed will lock it to key. This door may be unlocked only through this keycard panel if actor have specific keycard. There are three keycard, by one for each panel type. Keycards craftable at chemlab under UTILITY category. Limited NPC support. Keycard panel will unlock door when NPC that has appropriate card in inventory but NPC may not understand it. May be when F4SE come out on full throttle there will be a way to change it.
Emergency Lockdown Mechanism - big metal device, supposed to be used on gates, but will also work with all other doors. Require power and wire connection. When powered on will close and lock gate (door) until power off.
Proximity sensor - works as automatic switch. Turns on when hostile or ally NPCs in its range, and turns off when targeted NPC out of range. Each sensor can be tweaked to react on hostiles or allies, also range can be increased or decreased. Require wire connection.

All devices reevaluate it target door when crafted and/or replaced. Script will scan area for doors in short range, if there several door found it will calculate nearest. You can find this devices in Power->Miscellaneous category in workshop menu. Depending on chosen option while installation mod support vanilla doors, Homemaker's doors and Snap'n Build doors. Mod also support pre-made vanilla doors from locations: Red Rocket, Hangman's AlleySanctuary, Tempines Bluff, Outpost Zimonja, Egret Tours Marina, Warwick Homestead, The Castle, Bunker Hill, Taffington Boathouse, Covenant, Starlight Drive In, Sunshine Tidings Co-Op, The Slog, Spectacle Island, Croup Manor, Kingsport Lighthouse, Finch Farm, Coastal Cottage."

This occurs whenever changing perspective during any mandatory post-shot animation, such as cocking the hammer on the .44 Revolver or cycling any bolt-action weapon like the Hunting Rifle.

Even if you don't have any mods that feature chrome-looking things, you might at least notice that metal crates and Codsworth can sometimes look a bit dull.

What? You mean I can just restart Fallout 4 and it'll work fine again? Whippee! But wait, what if it doesn't? What if chrome things show up a dull grey or oily black almost every time?

MAIN FILES - Material Swap Fixes - Combined

Description :
"The new material swap system works pretty well, but it looks like the developers forgot to actually apply some of the textures to the items. Specifically items with a pre-war and post-war version.

So far this fix includes:

Dirty Trench Coat now uses post-war textures on male characters (Vault-Tec Rep actually looks like he's supposed to now).

Dirty Army Helmet now uses correct textures when dropped or viewed from inside inventory.

Lab Coat uses correct textures on female characters.

Lots of Vault Suit fixes:
- All of the clean vault suits actually use the correct Armor Addons now.
- Female vault suits get their own material swaps, meaning the clean textures show up for female characters.
- All the on-the-ground models (folded vault suits) use proper materials.
- The trim texture doesn't look like it does much of anything but I swapped them anyway just in case.
- All 1st Person (arm) models use proper textures.
- These include Vault suits not actually in the game.

Vault-Tec Security Armor for Vault 111 (dirty and clean variants) uses V111 textures instead of V81 textures on ground and in preview.

Clean Vault-Tec Security Helmet now uses clean textures on ground and in preview.

The black paint scheme for robots using Sentry legs now uses the proper material.

Maybe more, don't know for sure."

Sorting, Cleaning and Testing: Part 1

With all of those fixes out of the way as well as those essential mods that a lot of other mods shall be using, it's time to sort our load order, clean our current mods, and make sure that the game still runs.

Description :
"This is a re-package and re-release of Neanka's DEF_INV and DEF_HUD mods (with permission from Neanka) with a new consolidated installer. These are currently the last versions Neanka released and are provided as-is.

DEF_HUD

The HUD, or Head's Up Display, refers to the main game interface while adventuring. The HUD elements include HP, AP, Crit, XP, and Enemy HP meters, compass, dialogue, and messages. This mod allows customization of all of those elements. All elements can be moved, rotated and resized as desired. Some elements also have customization options like hiding parts of the element (HP tag on the HP meter for example).

There is also an optional feature to show scrap components beneath items when looting. This feature requires either the included scrap tags file or a similar file from your sorting mod (like VIS). If you use the included scrap tags file it will override any mod that changes scrap items (weight, components, names, etc).

This mod will conflict with any other mod that modifies the interface such as MyHUD or Pleasant UI, however all of the features provided by those mods can duplicated (and then some) with DEF_HUD.

DEF_INV

DEF_INV modifies the interface for container, barter and pipboy inventory screens with numerous improvements. Container and Barter screens have been increased in size to fill the screen. All of the remaining features require a sorting mod:

Sorting tags can be replaced with icons in all three screens.
New tabs are available in container and barter screens to limit what is displayed by category based on tags.
Additional tabs have been added to the Pipboy to move Notes and Holotapes to their own tabs based on tags.
Pipboy items can be rolled up into a single entry based on tags (example: all keys are collected in a single Key Ring entry which can be expanded as needed)."

Campsite - Simple Wasteland Camping - 1.0.1 - by fadingsignal

OPTIONAL FILES - Armor and Weapon Crafting Keywords (AWKCR) Patch, Full Nights' Sleep Patch for Survival

Description :
"Camping is obviously one of those mods everyone wants in Bethesda games, myself included since day one. A month or so ago I jotted all my ideas down, and after I released Basement Living I set to work on this with the intent on making something simple, but still "immersive" and fun. It ended up growing into what you see here.

Campsite adds craftable / carryable tents & sleeping bags (new meshes and HD textures in several colors, including camos), cloth wall, fires, lanterns, and cooking pot, each with their own unique gameplay dynamics, sounds, interactivity, and animations. Simple enough for light play, detailed enough to make you feel involved."

I like to visit Nuka-World at random, and got tired of having to take the full monorail tram ride back EVERY SINGLE TIME, especially once you start doing quests that involve traveling back and forth.

Well, not any longer! After your very first visit to Nuka-World, any returning trips from the Commonwealth will give you a prompt when activating the monorail controls, asking if you want to Travel to Nuka-World -OR- Travel to Nuka-World (Fast).

Selecting the Fast option will fade the game out and play the monorail departure/arrival sounds, and you'll fast travel to the tram station in Nuka-World."

MAIN FILES - The Mobile Mechanic v1.2

Description :
"After spending way too many hours in the game, and leveling way up, the experience of hiking halfway across the map to a settlement just to put a silencer onto a gun, or lugging around a bunch of Desk Fans and Giddy Up Buttercup Legs just to scrap some screws out of them starts to lose its charm, especially in survival mode where carryweight is at a premium, and fast travel is disabled.

The Mobile Mechanic adds a craftable, portable workbench, with new meshes and textures, which allows you to do any kind of crafting, anywhere you want, including the ability to scrap junk into its core components, so you don’t have to lug around a bunch of heavy junk. It also includes a portable Power Armor bench! The sole survivor can craft mechanical turrets and all sorts of other high tech stuff, so I don’t think it’s unreasonable to believe they can use a screwdriver!

This is all balanced by way of the fact that the player can only craft things using resources or mods in their inventory, and that the bench itself and the additionally required crafting kits all have some weight to them, forcing you to be conscious of using up all your carry weight."

At start that was just a test, but I found it interesting enough to share it, but beware, because the result is not always good, specially for the pipboy light, especially in third person view. There are some artifacts in shadows and some weird effects because the character himself produces shadows. The HeadLamps shadows look much better, however. Obviously, bethesda has probably chosen to not activate the effect because of that and for consistancy."

ExpandFOMOD Instructions

Description :
"When a Power Armor piece is destroyed, it's really destroyed. No silly zero-weight, zero-health inventory entry, with the broken pieces of it on the ground.

Maybe now there can be some meaning and purpose to the ten jillion PA suits around the Commonwealth.

Fusion cores are also more rare, and will have a random charge - not be "almost always 100% and sometimes 50%." (I did not edit cells or touch the various placed cores.)

So why use it now?

Scarcity's Power Armor is much more protective than Vanilla PA, preventing more damage from reaching the player, and grants immunity to poison and acid, when in good condition. But as its condition degrades, so does its protection. A completely banged-up suit of Scarcity armor will protect you less than Vanilla PA.

And it will cost you more to repair.

You can no longer fix the most advanced infantry weapon ever created by slapping 4 tin cans together. Instead of "4 steel," repair requirements have been made meaningful, using better components.

Power Armor will protect you well - as long as you maintain it well. And maintaining it will no longer be trivial.

For example: if any piece goes red, then the suit's seals are broken, you get a warning alarm, and you lose the poison/acid immunity (along with the decreased damage resistance)."

Adds fall damage immunity.
Adds unlimited ammo and unbreakable power armor functionality.
Adds auto teleportation when out of combat.
Allows player to modify companion distance.

"This mod adds a category to armor pieces called Visibility. At no cost you can dynamically modify armor pieces to be invisible. And you can change them back to visible whenever you want. You can imagine that the armor is concealed underneath your outfit. You can hide all your armor pieces, or only the ones you don't like. It's up to you. You can run around naked while still having full armor protection if you want.

The armor pieces affected are limited to the 5 armor pieces (chest, legs, and arms) of all the armor categories (leather, raider, metal, combat, synth) as well as the DC Guard Armor. It works for all 3 tiers of each armor, and it works fine with legendaries.

The armor pieces will stay invisible no matter who is wearing them so you can outfit your settlers in heavy combat armor without ruining their outfits.

This mod also adds armor appearance downgrading. You can change the appearance of a heavy armor piece to its medium or light version while leaving its stats the same. Think of it as partially concealed armor. The medium armor can be also changed to its light armor version."

Install Instructions :

This system once cleared out of enemies allows the player to move quickly across the wasteland. Be warned the battles to take back the network and make them safe for travel will be not an easy one.

The maps are fully nav meshed and companion friendly. I recommend using companion whistle to keep them close, especially if you are using more the one companion.

This mod is large and modifies some world spaces to allow access to the subway network. I to care to avoid settlement locations and areas that could conflict with other mods.

To gain access to Good Neighbour you must complete the quest “The Big Dig” otherwise the station is inaccessible from the surface. I did this as 3rd rail is often used by other modders as a player home."

Trudy decided to stop running, she put Patrick to work and together they secured the building. She could not help but notice her son was growing distant as time went on. With the death of his father Patrick was constantly battling the images of that night in his head, struggling to keep sane. Out nearby in Concord, Patrick was scavenging for items to supply their shop, where he came across Wolfgang, a low end chem pusher. Feeling like there is nothing to lose, Patrick found himself convinced into trying out Jet for the first time. As time progressed so did his habit. Trudy feels that she is loosing the only thing that is worth living for, so she decided enough is enough and will no longer support his increasing habit.

As we all know, the vanilla version is completely bare and makes no actual sense on how the residents are inhabiting this area.

MAIN FILES - Reverb and Ambiance Overhaul - ALL DLC

Description :
"TL;DR: Makes weapon sounds more realistic for player and NPCs. Improves and balances ambiance and reverb to be more realistic and lively. Increases the diversity and dynamics of in-game sound. Fixes numerous issues. Lightweight and compatible with all sound replacer mods.

Adds two sliders in the Audio menu for Reverb and Ambiance. To make the sliders sticky, they default to 100%, slightly louder than vanilla (which is around 80-90%). "Ambiance" controls the volume of machinery hum, birds, water drips, insects, room tones, etc. It also controls in-game radios. "Reverb" simply controls the amount of reverberation - most noticeably gun trails, explosions, and things like reverb from Magnolia's singing - it does not turn off the actual reverb in the cell, just how certain things interact with it. Thus, you may hear some things like voices to a degree even at 0%. There is no way to completely remove it, and it would sound weird as hell anyway. Still, this allows you maximum flexibility.

Adds ambient sounds and reverb types to regions where they were absent, or fixes inappropriate or generic settings. For example, outdoor ambient sounds are removed in the vanilla game when you enter small shacks or other small structures with "faked" reverb settings - this mod fixes that. This makes the sound design of the game (which I quite like) denser and more "alive" feeling. Additionally, "one-shot" ambient sounds like wind gusts and creaking wood will now trigger more frequently.

Adds newly created ambient types to areas that used generic settings. Glowing Sea caves, sewer pipes, and elevators now no longer sound identical.

Adds vanilla ambient sounds to appropriate regions. This includes birds and occasionally cicadas during the day, crickets and howling dogs and wolves at night, etc.

Rebalances Indoor and Outdoor Ambiance. Vanilla is much louder indoors - this brings them closer to being even without totally changing the dynamic. Some incidental sounds have been made slightly louder.

Increases (or in some cases decreases) the amount of reverb certain sounds produce. Gunshots, exploding cars, and the like now behave much more realistically, and quieter sounds are somewhat tweaked as well on a case-by-case basis.

Fixes outdoor weapon trails to match the various weapons. In the vanilla game, all weapons use the same generic pistol and rifle sounds. With this mod, laser, plasma, and gamma weapons have unique outdoor reverb tails, along with unique-sounding weapons like the broadsider.

Rebalances NPC weapon sounds to be seamless with player sounds. What this means is that the tails now run through the same reverb

parameters as the player tails, rather than the more muted vanilla style. This really makes gun battles lively and loud, especially indoors.

NPCs now use unique outdoor tails, allowing youto distinguish ballistic and energy weapons from a great distance.

Different room types and areas behave differently. Vaults are now cavernous, echoey, and metallic. Wooden rooms are more muffled. Cinderblock is more sound-absorbent than metal, etc. The difference between small spaces and large ones is greater. Outdoors has as close to a simulated echo as the engine allows, letting you really feel the power of big guns and the power armor impact landing. Speaking of which...

Power armor footsteps and Impact Landing now reverberate a little more, for both player and NPCs. This is a small tweak, just barely noticeable, but it has a nice effect when surrounded by NPCs in Power Armor.

Increases attenuation for almost all reverb types. This allows sound to propagate over longer distances, whilst decreasing the distance in which sounds will play in "2D". A bullet whizzing next to your head will sound much different than a wide miss, or a hit.

Fixes the wimpy-sounding frag grenade. A home-brewed mix of the vanilla frag mixed with some of the frag mine and a hint of exploding car to add bass, this should work well with any sound replacer mod or with vanilla. Fun fact: exploding cars use the Skyrim fireball sound as their main layer.

All explosions are slightly louder, and will rumble a little more. Grenades of all types have been tweaked to emphasize their individual sounds (i.e. flames for Molotov, ice for cryo, electricity for pulse, and so on). If you have a subwoofer or good bass-heavy headphones, they will sound huge, but are in fact only a measly 3 db louder.

Larger creatures and NPCs produce more reverb and louder sounds. This is mostly improvements to the Deathclaw - the roar and stomp are much more impressive now. Mirelurk Queens, Behemoths, and Liberty Prime all make louder footsteps, etc.

Pip-boy radio behaves like in-game radios and will interact with the reverb of whatever cell you are in. Mucho immersivo. (Not affected by ambient slider).

In-game radios, PA systems, power armor speakers, pipboy radio, eyebot radio, TVs, intercoms, etc. have improved audio quality, making them

less tinny and easier to understand."

There's eight colors/breeds to choose from - tortie, white, Siamese, black tux, orange tabby, Russian blue, and calico, plus the vanilla grey tabby - and you can scrap them for cat meat, bone, and fertilizer. (Don't do this to living ones, you monster.) The textures are still somewhat crude, but will do for now. For some reason the icons still won't appear.

I've added two craftable bowls to trigger animations - one for drinking and one for sunning (aka just laying there). They may help people with issues with cats walking off and drowning."

Blind Lemon Jefferson, Bukka White, Charley Patton, Memphis Jug Band, Robert Johnson, Son House, Furry Lewis, and Big Joe Williams are just a few of the artists whose recordings are included in this station.

The atmosphere while exploring the wasteland is enhanced in a really unique way while listening to these old blues songs. I've also made slight adjustments to each track to make them sound more tinny, like they're actually being played through the pipboy. I believe this enhances the atmosphere even further."

I get that maybe punk never happened in Fallout, but I've made an effort to make sure it sounds at least "lore-plausible." That means no famous tracks, nothing included just because I liked it, but stylistic continuity above all else. Nothing post-1990, for instance.

Basement Living - 1.3 - by fadingsignal

Files to download :

MAIN FILES - Railroad HQ 1.2 FAR HARBOUR

Description :
"Ever wanted to take a break from the outside world, have a pause from the weather (and settlers?) Ever wanted to store your weapons, Power Armor, and other items in a secure space where they will be left alone? Look no further.

Basement Living adds 10 completely standalone basements & bunkers (interior cells) each with their own standalone workshops and craftable door hatches, allowing you to place/enter into them from any settlement you choose. They work just like Home Plate, so you can tear-down and decorate them however you like! This was done carefully, and methodically, and does not alter ANY existing settlements or interiors whatsoever, nor does it require any batch files, god mode, or other workarounds. They're mostly copies of vanilla cells, so you may recognize a few. I found a couple cool unused cells and copied those too, adding a few things and lighting touches.

Every interior features a fusebox with 100 power, and a control panel to disable/enable the default lighting, fog effects, and trash/debris! It may not seem like it, but this was three weeks of work to get all the elements set up and working (including replacing lots of floors and walls!) **WHEW!**

NO BATCH FILES. NO GOD MODE. NO RE-ASSIGNED SETTLEMENTS. FULLY STANDALONE.

These are real interior cells you will 'zone' into, just like vanilla interiors, which makes them a safe place from enemies, weather, and settlers when you feel the need to get away. They act just like a player home. There is a lot of stuff by default to scrap in each location to get you started, and it's easy to just climb up the hatch and grab materials from your main Settlement Workshop if you need more.

This uses vanilla keywords, and as such is fully compatible with Settlement Keywords.

Hatches to "teleport" to the basements are under the Special category. I may change where they are in the menu if there is enough feedback, or require Blueprints in your inventory to keep it clean.

How It Works :

Under Special you will find 10 new basement hatches, one for each unique basement. They require 10 metal, 10 wood, 10 concrete, to give the effect of "crafting" the basement, even though you're just crafting a "teleport" door to get in.
Place a hatch anywhere on the ground of your Settlement. I like to place these behind the house, or in a settlement bedroom.
Once placed, the basement workshop will automatically link or re-link to the settlement you're in
Open it up like any door, and you're now in the interior basement cell!
Enter into Workshop Mode to scrap the interior, and begin decorating it how you like!
Only one door to each basement can exist at a given time, so if you craft a second door to the same exact basement, the old one will just move to your location, and you will be notified where it moved from. See video for details.
The interior cell will remain 100% the same as you left it, so you can move the entrance doors around to any settlements with no issues or effects to the interiors.

Root Cellar (small)
Basement Bunker (medium)
Fallout Shelter (small - my favorite)
Emergency Shelter (small)
Military Bunker Epsilon (small)
Backyard Bomb Shelter (medium)
Storage Warehouse (large)
Interrogation Cave (small)

Description :
"Mod adds a small bunker in the player's Sanctuary home backyard.

(see screenshot for location, it's well hidden)

Want to live in your old home in Sanctuary Hills but the gorramn Quincy survivors keep bumming in your house? This mod gives you some privacy, and cover from the extreme wasteland weathers as well.

Nate was preparing for the worst, as they didn't know about the Vault admission until the day of the nukes, so he made preparations for a shelter to take his family to. Codsworth kept the place nice and clean for two centuries and it's there just waiting for you. No need to sleep in your neighbours crappy dirt cellar or a house full of holes. Nate also left behind some sweet goodies in a footlocker so you can start the game with something better than a pipe pistol.

Features :

Mirror to change your appearance
Workbenches inside the house are linked to Sanctuary workshop so they share items
Armour, weapon, chem and cooking stations
Functional terminal
Bobblehead shelf
Nuka-Cola display shelf that works with the DLC items
Armour Rack
Bed gives Well Rested bonus (or Lover's Embrace)
Water source for survival
Unique named storage
Plenty of idle markers so your friends will sandbox nicely around the place

Navmeshed, as usual, what do you take me for, a hopeless newbie?

Description :
"I am very excited to bring you all my first house mod for Fallout 4. It's an overhaul of the "Sanctuary Red Rocket".

This mod turns the garage into an interior cell. It means it's behind a load door and unaffected by weather.

The interiors are mostly static, and cannot be edited.
There is no workbench for settlement building - What you see it what you get
The decoration is also my trademark static and cannot be moved around, can't have you ruining my carefully placed Feng Shui
While decoration is static, all the workstations and containers work and are safe to use
The workbenches like armour and weapon are linked to the RED ROCKET WORKBENCH so they share resources with the outside (cloud storage)

You can still use the OUTSIDE of the garage as normal settlement, build and invite settlers etc. Just they can't come inside. The only edits outside are the workbench location, adding some trees and cars and stuff.

The power armour workbench inside is mainly for leaving your armour at when you come home. It cannot be used for crafting as the animation is blocked by a wall. But if you activate it, it will move the power armour into the frame so it's all parked nice and tucked away.

I made this mod for myself, so it reflects my visions and preferences. It may not be for everyone.

The house is also full of items related to the game so it's more like an end-game house but you can get it any time, really.

Additional Features :

Immersive Toilet Paper
Custom named storage in the bedroom, unique wardrobe
Bobblehead stand and 4 magazine racks
Double bed
Day and night cycle (different lighting during the day and night)
Mirror to change appearance
All vanilla crafting benches but with a twist: They look magnificent and unique
Glorious unique clutter and decorations"

Description :
"This mod adds a furnished and functional player home for your Nuka World Overboss character to the southern end of the Nuka World map. To gain access to the player home you will need to have the key to the door. To get the key, you must:

Complete the Nuka World Gauntlet and have access to the Fizztop Grille patio.
Pick the lock of the safe located next to the bed on the Fizztop Grille patio. The key is located inside this safe. The safe has an Expert level lockpick which is unchanged from the vanilla game.

Once you unlock the safe and add the Overboss Hideaway Key to your inventory, your Pip Boy map is updated with a map marker showing the Hideaway location. Go there, unlock the door and enjoy your new home.

The mod promo video below will show you exactly what you need to do to get the key.

The Overboss Hideaway comes with a little backstory concerning Overboss Colter (your predecessor as Nuka World Overboss) and his connection with the house. It can be learned about by reading his journal entries on the Book Store Terminal inside the player home.

Location :

The Overboss Hideaway is located in Nuka World at the abandoned bookstore located south of the Nuka World Transit Station, and to the northeast of Evan’s Home.

Yeah, I know it’s located on the ass-end of Nuka World but I made this mod for my own game after finding the location and thinking it would make a great player home. I thought the elevated entrance was pretty cool, and decided to make use of it. The out-of-the way location gave rise to the little bit of lore I added to the terminal journal entries.

Because this mod was made for my own game, it suites my tastes and gameplay."

Description :
"I initially made this mod for my own game, but I thought others might have been as disappointed with the Fizztop Grille as I was. Yes, there are mods that will turn the Grille into a settlement, but...I really am not a fan of using workshop mode.

That being said, I’ve focused my work on the interior cell where I spend most of my time in-game, and have only made a few tweaks to the exterior patio cell.

While this is not a full-blown player home renovation, I would consider Fizztop Grille Enhancements to be something along the lines of “Player Home Lite.” I’ve added some features that should have been included by default, as well other features for my own game.

When I finally started playing the Nuka World DLC, I was a bit surprised and rather disappointed at how Bethesda seems to have dropped the ball in setting the Fizztop Grille up as a player home.

None of the workbenches were linked, and the beds didn’t even give the Well Rested bonus.

I decided at the very least, to link all the workbenches (interior and exterior) and fix the beds to give the Well Rested bonus. After that, I sort of got carried away and Fizztop Grille Enhancements is the result."

"The SSBN 'Dauntless' was a pre war nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine commissioned into the United States Navy on the 4th August 2069. She was to be designed as a smaller, faster and more stealthy submarine that still could carry a complement of four nuclear SLBM's.

G'day, as you may be aware, my modding repertoire has to date been somewhat lacking in terms of creating something truly unique. I decided that my previous mod, Moses' Bunker while a great start to modding FO4, wasn't what I truly wanted a player home mod to be. Therefore I had an idea after playing through the Far Harbour DLC and being fascinated by 'The Vessel' in the nucleus. I thought This would make a perfect player home if done right.

After many weeks of trial and error I am proud to present 'Dauntless' as a player home that aims to achieve just that.

EDIT: I'm appreciating all the feedback and im glad theres been some helpful suggestions that i've been working into, and updating the mod over time. I would like to add a function to send companions/settlers to the sub to act as a 'crew' but my scripting knowledge is very limited so keep that in mind. Any help would be appreciated!

Features :

Completely Custom Submarine Layout and interior and I mean down to every wall and Hallway that is TO SCALE and representative of the exterior model.

I can respect that for gameplay reasons, the interiors of 'The Vessel' and the 'Yangtze' are exaggerated in order to create a playable area. However I Felt that while in these interiors, you never really got the feeling of being underwater inside a submarine where you expect it to be cramped.

Custom Crafting Benches for Armor, Weapons, Chemistry, Cooking and Power Armor located throughout the ship so that every room has a purpose

But what about those shacks? And those broken porches, yuck! You can't fix them and you cant scrap them?

Well, fret no more. I have a solution for you!

I got rid of those eyesores. I replaced them with houses. Nice lore friendly houses with good roofs and working doors. You can still build in them just like before. All the scrapable items and enemies are now in the houses instead of shacks. The magazine is still right where it should be.

You may have already made a settlement here and think its too late to use this. Well I'm not saying it'll be perfect but the houses are in the same places as the shacks and are the same height from the ground. Add to that the fact that the new houses are close to the same size as the shacks and the end result is you should only need to tweak anything that you built.

Pretty cool!

Why is it a tragedy? Well, I leave that to you to discover for yourself.

Exploration will be rewarded. I promise you that.

Will conflict only with mods altering the buildings in Sunshine Tidings. Nothing else!

Guaranteed absolutely clean and error free by Fo4 edit standards.

Description :
"I enjoyed the bounty board quests but found that they ended far too soon! So I made my first mod to fix that problem.

This mod does a couple of things related to bounties:

Fixes the vanilla bounties so that they repeat
It adds some time between the quests appearing
Allows two bounties to be accepted at one time
Adds four new quests that are repeatable

This mod adds some time between quests appearing. I felt that having them pop up one right after another broke a little of the immersion of having these posted by real people. Now, around 24 in-game hours must pass before a second one pops up.

This mod also allows a second bounty quest to be accepted while the first is outstanding. This was done so that you can keep two in your journal while you quest your way across the commonwealth until you get close to the spot with the quest.

Third, it adds new bounties to break up the monotony of only getting a few of them repeatedly.

Synths
Wildlife
Gunners
Children of Atom

For these new quests and their rewards, I added a mechanic that I felt was more immersive than placing caps on the body of the target. Instead, you will find the reward somewhere in Diamond City after you kill the target."

Now, the park lies open, shrouded in legend and danger. A thousand myths say that Maxwell hid a treasure, deep inside the control center of the park, just waiting to be reclaimed by some wasteland.

Unfortunately, a thousand more myths say that something happened to Maxwell’s World. They tell tales of shambling skeletons in the park that attack anything in sight, robots that find you and force-feed you hot dogs, of the rides coming to life and devouring those inside. There are some that say that Maxwell traded his soul to keep the park running, and not even the apocalypse stopped that. All anyone knows, is that whoever enters Maxwell’s World, never leaves. Because the park isn’t just open. It’s alive.

Maxwell’s World is my horror quest mod for Fallout 4, that finds the Sole Survivor trapped in the twisted amusement park known as Maxwell’s World. Teaming up with a group of survivors, the player leads a last ditch expedition through the park, in an attempt to uncover just what happened to the park, and how to escape.

Maxwell’s World features an emphasis on multiple paths and resource management! The park is malicious and out to claim your soul, and will happily give you cursed resources to further than end. Carefully manage what you’ve brought with you, or take the plunge and use the tainted weapons and aid that Maxwell gives you! Aspects of the quest change based on your dialogue as well. Take sides among your companions, learn their histories, uncover secrets, and watch as the end of park changes to match your perspective!

Features :

A seven part quest of survival and fright, with more than four different endings, that reacts and changes based on your choices during the main quest.
An entire new world space, Maxwell’s World, with over five completely different sections, hidden detail, and much much more.
Three new companions, fully voiced with their combat styles, and miniquests.
Brand new gameplay elements!
- In Maxwell’s World, the things you find are tainted and can affect both enemies and the quest. Consume them if you dare, or focus on using the precious little non-cursed resources you brought with you!
- A respawn system. Maxwell wants you to stay, and is content to kill and resurrect you over, and over, and over again. Watch your stimpaks and microfusion cells, because you won’t get them back!
- Animated ride bosses! Malevolent bumper cars and serpentine rollercoasters are out to kill you! These juggernauts are scattered throughout the park, and can come to life at any time! Some say that there are weapons in the park that can deal with them, but you risk losing your soul to Maxwell’s influence!
- The Presence. A mysterious entity that travels around the park, bringing the rides to life and causing machines to go haywire. Reroute power to different parts of the park to draw it away, or risk its wrath for the comforts electricity brings you!
- Minigames! Shooting galleries, robot fights, and more
New enemies. Face off against deranged animatronics, living rides, ghoulified mascots, and the terrifying Revelers; those guests before you whose souls were claimed, now forever cursed to wander the park in great armies.
New weapons! From firework cannons, rayguns, mallets, to the triumphant return of Fallout 3's heavy incinerators.
A new clown paintjob for power armor."

A lot of new objects and details
New custom made textures (graffiti, signs, police APC vehicle...)
More NPC-s and vendors (with voice)

But what I found there was just the same plane as Skylanes Flight 1981, and nothing special and innovative.

So, what is new in this mod?

new radioactive texture of a plane and airplane seats- new skeleton textures
much more details
A lot of glowing fungus: now, you will actually know where to find them, and with this, Skylanes Flight 1665 becomes useful after all. I don't think this will unbalance the game, since there are lot of them, it becomes a quite boring if you're trying to pick them all.

WARNING

Template:FOMOD_Instructions is deprecated and should no longer be used on this wiki. Please change this template call to use the better-looking and simpler Template:Fomod. We apologize for the inconvenience.

ExpandFOMOD Instructions

Description :
"CBBE replaces the vanilla female body that all adult female characters (player and NPC) share, with one that is fully customizable with the BodySlide tool. By default there are three nude options available that don't require anything but installation, as well as lore-friendly underwear styles for these body shapes (using Beth's own unused underwear meshes).

These meshes have a total of over 21k vertices - compared to the vanilla body's modest 1750 - for optimal smoothness. In tests there have been no reports of these high-poly meshes causing any slow down, but may still be too much for weaker systems to use, so be warned.

Included in the main installer are bodies, textures, all vanilla and DLC outfits, and BodySlide addons for the body and outfits. There are also morph files for the body and the outfits included, which are used for in-game morphing with LooksMenu or other script mods.

Options :

Please note that these shapes are what you get when the very centre of the weight/body morph triangle is selected. The shape will then morph according to where ever you select in the triangle, just as the vanilla body does.

Slim: Slender shape for fans of slimmer ladies.
Curvy: Based on the modern ideal.
Vanilla: Default body, but better!
NeverNude: The above bodies, but with underwear.
Be sure to grab BodySlide for 100% customisability with CBBE, including body physics!"

I poked around a couple times and the fix wasn't obvious, but now that I know a bit more about how things work I was able to solve this finally.

There is an extra mesh that gets attached to the mouth for shadowing/simulated subsurface, with an effect material that renders a color gradient that retains its emission color regardless of the light. So, I just cut that gradient alpha way down. The insides of mouths are a tiny bit darker overall, but it looks more real IMO and you don't have the glow-in-the-dark mouth."

OPTIONAL FILES - AE and VIS patch

Description :
"This mod adds 50 unisex armours, 20 accessories and infinite amounts of armour colour mods to the game.

These items are (mostly) made by mashing up and recolouring vanilla items, so most of them are very lore-friendly and blend into the world well.

General Infos :

There are a lot of settler-type outfits, some vault suit mashups, a few raider armours, and a bunch of Institute clothes. There are scarves, mufflers, gloves, eyeglasses, bags etc. You can change the appearance of these items at the regular armour workbench.

You can wear armour pieces over these outfits, so I recommend Concealed Armours or similar, so you can hide any pieces that clip.

The main supplier in this mod is Ellie, a custom-voiced NPC. She is a vendor for the armours and provides you with designs to make your own.

You craft new armours at the "Armour Crafting Workbench", new crafting furniture added by the mod. You need to buy schematics from Ellie to get craft the workbench in settlement. There is also a workbench at Ellie's shop.

To get all the crafting recipes to show up, you also need to buy designs for them from Ellie. There are 5 types: Vault suit, Raider, Companions, Wastelander and Accessories. Some of them require basic components like leather and cloth, some are using "immersive recipes" (for example, crafting Gunslinger hat requires a Minutemen hat and pilot goggles from Ellie).

Ellie's shop is just outside Diamond City, next to the parking lot with the mongrel dogs. She sells almost all the clothing that this mod adds, apart from Institute outfits, those are found and purchased from the Institute merchant. If you do not have access to the Institute, you can find a dead synth who has the blueprints inside Mass State House (Boston Commons). There is a mapmarker you need to discover. in order to fast travel.

A lot of the items in the mod can be modded (change their colour or graphic): They're marked with [M]. If you don't like the name, just rename the item at the vanilla armour workbench where you apply mods. The items you can mod to different colour are:

Muffler, Scarf, Eyeglasses, most t-shirt based outfits, Armoured and Unarmoured Jumpsuit and the Institute Casual Outfit

All clothing can be modded with lining and ballistic weave

Textures are mostly 2-4K, based on vanilla stuff and the UHD DLC

Leveled lists alter NPCs from Minutemen, Institute, Railroad and settlers

Most of the wastelandish outfits have been added to leveled lists so they should appear on NPCs throughout the Commonwealth, especially on dead NPCs that spawn with random clothes. The unfortunate side-effect of this is that it will conflict with other mods that edit those same distribution lists.

This mod includes my companion armours from my Companion Overhaul, some pieces from Armoured Jumpsuits, Armour Collection, Sleeveless Outfits and Apocalypse Accessories. The meshes are improved and this is meant to replace those mods."

MAIN FILES - Randomized Diamond City Guard Outfits

Description :
"It really bothered me that, despite a variety of the armors existing in the game, the Diamond City guards only ever use full arm pieces and helmets.

This adjusts the outfit for the Diamond City guards to use leveled lists for their Helmets, Left Arm Pieces, and Right Arm Pieces.

They have a 1/3 chance of getting their default full helmet, 1/3 chance of getting the more open light helmets that were rarely used in the vanilla game, and a 1/3 chance of not having a helmet.

They have a 1/4 chance of getting a full armor piece, 1/4 chance of getting just a shoulder piece, 1/4 chance of getting just a forearm piece, and 1/4 chance of not getting any arm equipment.

Using this mod will make it clear why Bethesda gave all of the DC guards the same helmet, despite the variations existing. They have a very limited number of faces available, and the majority of the guards use the same face. It is a little bit disconcerting, so if things like that bother you, I wouldn't recommend the mod."

This will be the first of a series of mods that expand the faces for generic goons and soldiers, so stay tuned. I'm in the process of making one for raiders and gunners, and will then move on to the minutemen, railroad agents, coursers, etc.

Since this mod only edits a lvlchar list, it is compatible with all mods that edit armor lists or change the stats of DC guards. This is purely cosmetic. You'll still want a mod that opens up their helmets, I recommend Randomized Diamond City Guard Outfits by darthbdaman."

Sim Settlements - 1.1.7 - by kinggath

Files to download :

MAIN FILES - Sim Settlements
OPTIONAL FILES - Valdacil's Sorting Patch

Description :
"TLDR: Allows you to build zone objects that tell the settlers what type of buildings to create in different areas of your settlement and they will do so. Includes a progression system, a more interesting settler needs system, and rewards to help settlements matter more.

This mod aims to completely change the way you think about settlements. You'll now be able to create detailed, living places with minimal effort. The ultimate goal: making every settlement a unique and awesome looking Fallout city, with perks and rewards that help you at every stage of the game.

The Why

One of the biggest problems with Fallout 4, is just how disconnected the Settlement system feels from the rest of the game. Settlements lack that Bethesda game feel of exploration and progression, and so there's not much incentive to actually use the system. It also feels bizarre that you have to micromanage all these people, and personally plant seeds and decide where people sleep - you're their leader, not their mother! You're supplying these people with security and tons of resources, why can't they kick in and help out with building up the city?

The How

In version 1.0, this mod adds the start of that vision by allowing you to place down zones (ala Sim City) that will make your settlers create buildings of the appropriate type in that zone. It includes a series of systems to help bring your settlements to life, and make them more dynamic and interesting to engage with.

Randomization

Buildings are chosen at random and filled with random things depending on how you zoned an area. Using the basic types of Agricultural (farms), Commercial (stores), Industrial (factories), and Residential (homes) - you create a basic outline for your settlement using the workshop system and the settlers will handle the rest. Version 1.0 includes a large selection of buildings with even more on the way!

Upgrades

Every building has multiple levels of upgrades that can be unlocked over time to keep you coming back to re-explore your own settlements and find out what's changed. Dynamic Needs [Optional]: To help make settlements more interesting, the basic needs of your settlers change over time, making keeping them happy more of a challenge, raids less predictable, and the upgrade unlocks feel like they were earned.

Living Cities

No longer will all of your settlers share the same boring life story, some of them will be flagged with interesting backgrounds, likes, hobbies, and quirks that play out in a visual story in their homes to make them stand out and feel like a unique and important person. Clutter throughout homes and some shops is chosen randomly both at creation and periodically when you visit them to really make them feel lived in. Furniture markers are placed throughout the homes and buildings so your settlers spend less time clumped up waiting for something to do and instead engage with your settlement.

Rewards

To make the system even more worth it beyond the visual reward of the above systems, a tax system is in place to ensure the settlements can have a huge impact on your gameplay. In a future patch, tons of unlocks will be added in the form of special buildings and settler inventions that you can use while you're out conquering the wasteland!"

Snappable Junk Fences - 1.3 - by DarthWayne

"This mod solves the old problem of useless junk fences with large gaps between them. I made the fences 5% larger and added a bunch of different snap nodes to them. All fences and the large guard tower now have 2 snap nodes for other walls (junk fence or normal walls) on each side in 2 different highs. That way you can compensate small altitude differences of the ground. If you want to make smooth curves you can use the two thicker junk fences for a 30° curve.

The following wall types have additionally snap nodes for floors:

Straight fences have 4 snap nodes for floors in 2 different highs. While the upper is good for placing turrets on it the lower is perfect for seeking cover behind the wall.
90° corners are basically the same as the straight fences. Only difference is, that it has 6 Instead of 4 snap nodes for floor, so your walkway can go around the corner as well.
Doorways only have the upper snap nodes, because it would not make much sense blocking the door with the lower ones.

This changes will affect all vanilla fences placed anywhere in the game (even those in raider camps). I don't think the 5% will have such a huge effect on them though, so you would probably not notice.

All fences and guard towers that you have already placed in your settlements will automatically being updated."

Description

"Horizon completely overhauls Fallout 4 in an effort to rebalance and expand the entire game.

It contains thousands of changes and a large assortment of brand new additions. The goal is to make Fallout's gameplay more challenging, balanced, and interesting throughout your entire playthrough.

Exploration, crafting, and survival, are key aspects of the Fallout games. Unfortunately they sometimes quickly fall to the wayside and become boring, uneventful, and lose their purpose after a few levels. Horizon attempts to reclaim these aspects, by making your entire playthrough more challenging and interesting.

Horizon is created for and balanced around Survival Mode, but it can technically be played without it. I have included 4 optional difficulty modes so that Fallout players of all skill levels can enjoy survival mode and the changes Horizon introduces.

Features

First, be aware that Horizon is meant to be an entire Fallout 4 replacement overhaul, and not a "drop in" mod.

Horizon is designed to be played over an entire playthrough from start to finish, and not intended to be removed in the middle (or added to an existing save game.)

The mod covers almost every aspect of gameplay, with a large assortment of features:

Medical - Healing in Horizon requires actual medical treatment, and you can no longer be healed otherwise.
Aid - Many new healing/buff/utility items have been added to expand survival and quality of life.
Combat - Combat is more challenging, while removing the "bloated" health pools many enemies have.
NPCs - Many NPCs have a custom scaling system to allow them to properly scale with your level.
Loot - A very large amount of changes were made to loot in order to balance and add immersive detail to the game.
Containers - Many new items and loot changes make looting containers and NPC's more immersive.
Lock Breaching - Horizon has it's own system of breaking into locks and terminals, aside from the standard methods.
Ammo - Ammo is more difficulty acquire, but can also be crafted using an ammo crafting system.
Perks - Many perks have been completely redesigned to provide new bonuses and have new purposes.
Specializations - Based on the perks you have, you can choose 1 combat-based specialization.
Survival - Many changes have been made to rescale and rebalance how survival mode works.
Items - Junk items have been expanded to provide more purpose for crafting (including MANY new items.)
Magazines - Collecting magazines actually has an extra purpose, which unlocks certain recipes.
Crafting - The crafting system is greatly expanded, and has recipes that can be unlocked through various methods.
Settlements - New settlement objects: defenses, vendors, decorations, and new types of crafting stations.
Progression - A new settlement progression system, that has goals/rewards for settlement builders (still in development.)
Travel - A fast travel system to immersively allow you to travel between settlements.
Mail - A new mailbox system is created, to allow you to receive messages and items from various NPCs.
Levels - All levels are rescaled in Horizon, to provide a more classically controlled environment.
Scrap - Weapons and ammo can be scraped into useful parts, made to craft other weapons/ammo or devices.
Storage - Cargo Bots that can be summoned to carry junk back to your settlements.
Sorting - Horizon has it's own inventory sorting fully intended to be used with DEF_UI's icons.
DLC - All DLC's are optional, but contain full support to rebalance DLC elements as well.
Misc - Many various minor tweaks and bug fixes.
Addons - Multiple difficulty modes, optional gameplay addons, optional screen effect tweaks.

Health Management

One of the biggest features of Horizon is all of the healing and survival changes. Eliminating all the free/easy healing makes the game much more immersive and strategic. You can no longer be healed for free from sleeping, eating, and level-ups.

In Horizon, the player's health pool is somewhat larger than normal, but enemies will wear you (and your supplies) down. The fact that it's much harder to regain that health back in Horizon, means you need to make better choices. All healing (except doctors) is now fixed-values, which means that the larger health pool won't be directly effecting heals themselves. This is what allows the healing system in Horizon to work so well.

I believe this creates a much more intense survival experience. Instead of just getting "1-shot from full health and reloading your save game", you gain more time to re-evaluate your situation immediately, and respond to it.

Food/Water/Sleep/Perks/Level-ups no longer restore health
Bandages and First Aid Kits can be used out of combat to heal wounds
Limb damage can only be cured by "Trauma Kits" (and doctors) now (crafted only; at the chem station.)
Stimpaks are the only thing that heals in combat (and no longer heals limb damage)
Adrenaline Injectors are used as a crafting ingredient, or to heal your downed companions
New crafting ingredients are added to some recipes (some require salvaging, some crafting)
Pharmaceuticals are crafted under the "Utility" category of the chem station, and are used to craft medical supplies
Your health pool does NOT increase when you gain levels

Doctors are completely overhauled in Horizon. They offer a brand new menu-driven system, where you are now charged for exactly the amount of curing you need. The menu system also allows you to cure EVERTHING at once, or specific conditions if you wish. A full report of your Doctor's Bill is given beforehand, so you can see the prices of everything.

The full list of all documented changes are contained in the Health Management article.

Survival

Although it can be used in any difficulty, Horizon is built for Survival Mode. It makes many adjustments to smooth out your survival experience, as well as makes some things more challenging.

New methods of curing individual illnesses are added to the game, giving you more flexibility.

Advanced Antibiotics - Cures all illnesses (this is the old standard antibiotics)
Basic Antibiotics - Cures only infection
Poison Antidote - Cures poisons
Jet Coffee - Cures Lethargy
Atomic Scotch - Cures Parasites
And many other items also provide new bonuses and cures

Radiation is also more difficult to remove, so avoiding it is best. Doctors will be a primary source of curing large amounts of radiation, but you can still use items such as RadAway for curing smaller amounts when you're out in the field.

Poison damage is overhauled in Horizon. The duration of poisons are greatly extended, but it will no longer kill you quickly. Antidotes can be purchased or crafted, and doctors can also cure poisons. Poison resist is much smaller now, but these smaller amounts can be very effective.

Fire and Cryo damage is also changed. Fire-based weapons usually do real "Fire" damage now, with separate Fire resistances. These resists are also in very small amounts, but can be very effective.

Horizon also reduces some annoyances, like making you eat and drink so frequently. Instead, eating 1-3 cooked meals for the day (like a big dinner), and you'll be good to go until tomorrow. However, gaining nourishing food and water takes much more effort now. Most pre-war food and crops will have high radiation and little nutritional value. Ideally you want to aim for real cooked meals. If you lack the skills to hunt and cook your own food, you can always try buying some, or relying on what you find from exploring.

Because healing and radiation are more difficulty now, I also remove some needless annoyances such as chems/stims making you thirsty or hungry. These types of things are just unnecessary when the rest of the game is balanced better.

As you can see from the banner, all icons are also color coded specifically to help you identify buffs and debuffs better. Horizon's UI colors are best viewed if you use a pale colored UI theme (or something close to white.)

Training

The leveling progression is much different in Horizon. Reaching level 30 is roughly like reaching level 60 in vanilla FO4. However, everything is rescaled around this. Try not to compare it directly to vanilla FO4, because the entire system works differently.

Even though you are getting half the levels for your time spent, you will get bonus perk points every 5 levels to help customize your character just as much as before. Every 5 levels you can invest in a new rank of the VANS perk to receive 5 bonus points for training.

Almost every perk is tweaked, balanced, or overhauled in one way or another. My goal is to make so many perks actually feel useful, that you almost have trouble deciding what to take. Which is exactly the type of thing you want in a perk system for any game.

Some perks are completely redesigned to offer a new purpose:

Hunter - Allows you to harvest meat and other parts from animals and creatures
Survivalist - Each rank grants you new types of survival-based items you can craft
Technologist - Allows you to salvage robots, synths, and certain appliance/machinery containers
Iron Defender - Grants you defensive benefits with each rank
VANS - Now grants you bonus perk points every 5 levels (this offsets the slower leveling progression)
Medic - Each rank grants you new types of medical supplies you can craft

Weapons perks are overhauled to provide a better system of customizing your combat training. While each perk is focused on specific weapons, many of these perks have benefits that can be used for a wider range of weaponry. Rank 3 of each of these weapon perks, unlocks the corresponding Focused Specialization.

Marksman - Improves range and accuracy for ballistic weapons, and armor penetration for ballistic rifles.
Future Soldier - Improves different aspects of energy weapons.
Gunslinger - Improves reload speed, hip accuracy, and other benefits. Bonuses are focused on pistols and shotguns.
Commando - Improves hip fire accuracy and other bonuses focused around assault weapons and combat knives.
Big Leagues - Improves melee armor penetration and other bonuses.
Demolition Expert - Improves explosives and fire-based weapons. Grants ability to craft explosives.
Attack Dog - Improves the damage of your canines, and allows you to call in a Guard Dog for assistance.
Robotics Expert - Allows you to place Mini-Turrets, and hack robots.

Focused Specializations are a new system that allows you to focus on one particular area of combat. Once you choose a specialization, you can untrain it, but it has a high cost.

Sharpshooter - Improves damage with specific rifles
Cyborg - Improves damage with energy weapons
Duelist - Improves damage with Pistols and Double-Barrel Shotguns
Master Commando - Improves damage with assault weapons, Combat Knives, and Throwing Knives
Maurader - Improves damage with melee weapons, and adds benefits to power attacks
Demolitionist - Improves damage with explosives and fire-based weaponry
Animal Handler - Improves your canines' damage and damage reduction
Combat Engineer - Improves your Mini-turret damage

Economy

Horizon's loot system is very detailed, and covers a large array of containers and NPCs. Many new items are added to the game to increase the feel that you're in a living world.

Containers often contain more appropriate loot. Locked containers also give more appropriate bonus loot based on the type of container (safes, ammo boxes, etc.)

Horizon also gives purpose to some crafting ingredients that weren't widely used before, adding more diversity to hunting down materials. Certain junk items are even converted into real crafting ingredients (such as tools), instead of just being scrap.

The economy of the Commonwealth actually feels more like a real thing now. Caps are much more valuable than they were in vanilla Fallout 4. Many items and services (such as doctors) are more expensive, and you will often find yourself actually needing to use them occasionally now. You may even need to buy cooked food and water, something that probably was rarely ever done before.

Ammo is very expensive, and more difficult to find. You will most likely find yourself buying ammo wherever and whenever you can. You may want to consider a wider range of weaponry to make use of different ammo. Ammo crafting is now available in Horizon too.

Combat

The first thing you need to understand with Horizon is that combat is rebuilt from the ground up. I started with player damage at a standard 1.0x multiplier, and rebalanced the entire game around it to create smoother and more fluid gameplay from level 1 to 40+. One of the main goals with Horizon is to reduce (or eliminate) any bloated scaling from leveling and buffs/perks (for both NPC and player.)

In Horizon, many NPCs scale with your level, and should be more challenging throughout your entire playthrough. The problem is, simply changing NPCs to match your level is not a real method to scale NPCs. Horizon has a custom scaling system that actually adjusts the resistances and damage of NPCs dynamically based on your level. Humans and humanoids are the primary users of this scaling system (not every type of NPC uses it though.)

The reason Horizon does this, is to attempt to eliminate the problem of having low level NPCs in zones lingering around and becoming WAY too easy later on. My custom scaling system will allow these NPCs to at least attempt to put up a fight regardless of how many levels you have on them.

Because of the fact that health is more difficult to regain, NPCs should sometimes be dealt with cautiously.

Running away and regrouping might be a valid option now.
Sneaking by enemies instead of engaging them might be a valid option now.
Using tactics you normal don't use (like explosives and traps) might be a valid option now.

NPC vulnerabilities are more drastic and varied in some cases now (i.e. Headshots on humans deal more damage, etc.) Some enemies also have brand new vulnerabilities. For example, a Protectron has a heavily armored torso that absorbs a high amount of damage, but it's flimsy legs and combat inhibitor are it's weak points. Deathclaws are another example, where their armored parts are even more armored now, but their weak points take extra damage. This puts more emphasis on aiming well and using tactics.

Critical damage is completely overhauled. Critical damage is much lower, but can still be built up with perks and bonuses. Critical hits can also occur outside of VATS now, depending on the perks you invest in. Sneak attacks are also greatly reduced, mainly because of targeted vulnerabilities adding more damage. Overall, they are much more reasonable, without completely unbalancing combat. In vanilla FO4, ridiculously high sneak attacks were possible, but part of the problem was that NPCs also had bloated health (and the DLCs kept adding even MORE to that.) Horizon fixes both of these problems.

Many NPCs are also given more variety in their loot drops. For example, Raiders (and raider-based loot containers) drop more appropriate loot that raiders might have. Raiders and synths have a chance to drop a damaged weapon instead of a functional weapon. Damaged weapons are junk items that can be scrapped for useful "weapon parts." Some creatures now drop new parts that can be scrapped into rare materials (ex: Deathclaws.) Aside from adding more immersive flavor to looting, these items also fill in gaps for giving rewards for creatures that normally felt like they weren't even worth the ammo.

Keep in mind that while Horizon tries to add a lot of realistic elements to the Fallout world, it's not an "ultra realism" mod. I try to balance a good sense of realism with challenging gameplay. There's just some things that I believe don't work well if you try to make them too realistic.

Weaponry

Many weapons and weapon mods are rebalanced in Horizon. Weapon damage in Horizon is based on a slightly more realistic "damage per hit" rather than "damage per second", because of the fact that ammo is much harder to acquire now.

Automatic receivers are now much closer in damage to semi-auto. Some weapons that felt underpowered (like Submachine Guns) were brought up to a usable status. Weapons like the .38 pipe gun, remain low damage at low levels, but higher level receivers will allow it to be upgraded much better now.

Some weapons receivers are completely replaced.. bringing new options to fill gaps. I've specifically hand selected only certain weapons to have special receivers, to create variety and specific purposes for each weapon. Having too many ammo conversions on every weapons would make everything feel too stale and lack variety in weapons.

Robotics Lab

The Robotics Lab is a new crafting station, used to craft tools, parts, electronics, and settlement ingredients. Ideally, you will want one of these early on in your main settlement.

A few useful items are:

Turret Deployment Parts - these parts can be carried with you, to make setting up simply pipe turrets at new settlements easier
Caravan Supply Kits - these are used to supply Caravan Travel Hubs
Cargo Bots - These are crafting ingredients used to build new settlement devices and wrist device upgrades
Cargo Bot summoning devices - these are used to send junk back to your settlement "Scrap Storage" container
Alpha Wrist Device - an equipable item that can improve your carry weight based on it's upgrades
Water Filters - Used to either craft water purifiers or directly craft purified water bottles
Tools, parts, bottles, etc.

Contracted Work

There's a special category in the Robotics Lab (and Weapons Lab) called "CONTRACTED WORK." This category allows you to bypass the perk requirement for crafting certain objects. But it comes at a cost.. normally requiring caps and extra ingredients. The concept is that a skilled artisan makes the item for you (i.e. could be a settler, etc.) if you lack the skill to make it yourself.

Weapons Lab

The Weapons Lab is a new crafting station, used to construct/disassemble ammo and explosives, and build weapons.

Horizon has it's own carefully balanced ammo crafting system. Everything is based on the average damage per shot of each round. Ultimately it should feel fair for any ammo type crafted, including explosives.

The special ingredients required to make ammo can come from loot drops, vendors, scrapping junk, or scrapping other ammo.

All grenade, mine, and trap recipes, are moved to the Weapons Lab
Ammunition: Contains recipes to load your own ammunition
Imported Ammunition: Specifically for ammo used by external mod-created weapons
Weapons: Companion weapons, and external mod-created weapons
Disassembly: Contains recipes to scrap ammo/explosives into parts
Contracted Work: Some recipes can be used without specific skill-based perks, but at a cost

Cargo Bots

Cargo Bots are a system I created to deal with transporting junk (or anything) back to your settlements remotely.

You can call a Cargo Bot using a consumable device from any location. Simply interact with the Cargo Bot, and you can open it's inventory and have it send items back to your "Scrap Storage" container (which can be accessed from any settlement.)

The Cargo Bot theme also extends to a new wearable piece of armor called an "Alpha Wrist Device." Each slot you upgrade, will add a stealthed Cargo Bot that increases your carry weight. Different slots require different perks and factions. This can be a great system for those who wish to extend their total carry weight, but want an immersive reason for doing so.

Caravan Travel

The Caravan Travel system offers an immersive way to travel to other settlements.

It consists of a "Supply" system, that needs to be restocked in order to travel. The system is very easy to use. The amount of supplies that are consumed, is based on the distance you travel. There are 2 objects you can craft for this: an outdoor hub, and an indoor radio console.

Settlements

Horizon has an array of new settlement objects to expand your options.

Resource Management Table

This crafted object can be interacted with to control resource production
Some resources require Fuel to find/process materials (purified water, wood, concrete, steel)
Fuel can be found from existing junk containing "Liquid Fuel" or can be crafted as a more expensive last resort
Resource utilities will give a very small amount of happiness (this is mainly just to flag it as a workshop object)

Water Purifiers

Water purifiers are the only way to produce purified water bottles now, through the Resource Manager console
The generic "Water" settlement resource now gives Dirty Water to the workbench instead of purified water
To produce purified water bottles, it takes 10 units of purified water (globally) per bottle per day
Each purifier grants a significant amount of happiness for the settlement

Command Mailbox

This mailbox allows you to receive messages and items from NPCs, based on different events
It can be accessed from any settlement

New defenses were added

Watchman's Tower - A new guard tower
Command Tower - A new guard tower
Sentry Post - A simple rubber mat with a decal (so you can see which way it's facing) for a guard
Custom Pipe Turret - A simple turret that is easy to deploy into new settlements
And More..

I've created a few new decorated vendor meshes that I've always wanted to see

Full Bar (Tier 3 Food Vendor)
Diner Counter (Tier 3 Food Vendor)
Weapon Warehouse (Tier 3 Weapons Vendor)
Medical Center (Tier 3 Medical Vendor)
General Store (Tier 3 General Vendor)
Armor Outlet (Tier 3 Armor Vendor)
Tailor Shop (Tier 3 Clothing Vendor)

More settlement objects and information can be found in the Settlements and Crafting article.

Settlement Progression

This new system is designed to make building and advancing settlements more interactive and goal-oriented.

BETA NOTE: This particular system is still under construction

Each level of progression grants new rewards and unlocks additional new settlement objects.

One of the goals of this system, is to give builders extra materials they require to build up the elements that aren't directly gameplay related (such as walls, floors, etc.) Wood, concrete, and steel can be produced to continue building up your empire.

I plan to continue to add quest objectives and side missions that are more interactive in future updates.

NEW: The Command Table

This crafted object can be interacted with to start quests and check settlement stats
The concept is to make building up settlements more interactive, immersive, rewarding, and ultimately feel like it has a purpose

NEW: Main progression quest line: "The Commonwealth United"

This quest line is the backbone of the new settlement progression system
It is entirely geared towards players who enjoy settlement building (i.e. optional)
Each stage requires building settlements up to a certain population and happiness rating (15 settlers at 75% happiness)*
Each stage rewards a rank of a new perk called "Trailblazer", plus 1 additional item reward
Each stage also offers a choice of 1 of 4 bonus rewards (each stage is different)

NEW: (Perk) Trailblazer

This perk grants access to schematics and recipes based around settlement crafting
Each stage unlocks new settlement resources
More schematics and recipes will be added over time

New resource production objects unlock as you gain ranks of Trailblazer:

NEW: Lumber Yard - Each yard produces wood per day
NEW: Stone Yard - Each yard produces concrete per day
NEW: Small Oil Well - Each well produces oil per day
NEW: Steel Yard - Each yard produces steel per day

More detailed info on the progression system is contained in the Crafting article.

Is Horizon For Me?

Horizon is aimed at players who enjoy the survival aspects of Fallout, however it can be enjoyed by players of all skill levels. I have included varying difficulty levels so that any player can enjoy Survival Mode and all the changes Horizon brings.

There are 5 difficulty levels to choose from during installation:

Novice - NPC damage is reduced to 1.0x, player damage increased to 1.25x and medical crafting is easier (only recommended for casual or newer players)
Wanderer - NPC damage is reduced to 1.0x, this difficulty is similar to the default, but gives a even 1:1 damage ratio
Survivor - NPC damage is 1.5x. This is the default mode. (RECOMMENDED - This is what I personally play on, so the mod is tuned for it.)
Veteran - NPC damage is increased to 2.5x, and doctor costs are increased
Outcast - NPC damage is increased to 3.5x, and doctor costs are increased

Please note that this is NOT a "customize your own difficulty" mod. Everything is hardcoded to be balanced for a reason. The main customization of this mod will come from the difficulty settings, and a few addons.

If you're looking for a more challenging survival feel.. this mod is for you.
If you enjoy crafting, exploring for supplies, and using tactics in combat.. this mod is for you.
If you're a veteran Fallout player looking to start a new playthrough and want to try something different.. this mod is for you.
If you enjoy survival gameplay, but find Fallout's survival mode too hard.. this mod can still be for you!

If you're not a hardcore player or heavily experienced with FO4, don't feel embarrassed to use "Novice" or "Wanderer" difficulty. It's still challenging. I want to have difficulty settings that allow everyone to enjoy all the changes I added with Horizon. If you're finding "Novice" difficulty to still be too hard, feel free to send me a message, and I'll try making adjustments to this difficulty mode.

Survival Tips

Your health pool may be much larger than normal, but do NOT let this fool you into a false sense of security. Getting that health back will be much more of a challenge now, since the only sources of healing are actual medical attention. All healing is fixed values, so a larger health pool does NOT mean larger heals!

Make sure you craft enough bandages, trauma kits, and stimpaks for any trip. If you can't tend to your own wounds in the field, you're dead.

You may come to the point where ammo is so low, you'll need to melee targets down here and there. Keep a gun on hand for each ammo type. Also remember that you can buy ammo, and craft it.

Explosives and traps will suddenly become much more useful (and much more deadly towards you) now. Use tactics with these. Setup mines/traps before you engage tough enemies, throw grenades down hallways, rockets from range, etc.

Sneaking is also extremely helpful, and a huge part of the survival feel.

Eating a real cooked meal is much better than eating a lot of small garbage food (especially if each one stacks extra rads.) Cooking has become much more useful now, and the Hunter and Survivalist perks go along with it very well.

For settlements, I always recommend using self-contained food and water production at each settlement. The supply line works great for sharing workbench resources, but it doesn't seem to work well for sharing food and water. The way I balanced food and water, it is easier for high populations to manage now."

ExpandFOMOD Instructions

Description :
"Better Settlers is a lore friendly mod that adds more than 230 new settlers to the vanilla settler selections (for a total of 270+). You can choose to leave them with vanilla equipment and stats, or: It allows you the OPTION to make lore-friendly changes to their equipment, stats, or mortality. Other options include: mod-created equipment and hair (highly recommended), all female settlers, or raiders as settlers. All of these options are randomly generated when the Settler spawns, so no two settlers should be exactly alike."

Super Mutant Redux v1.1

CORE

Super Mutant Redux - v1.1 - by MadMAX713 - joemitchell320 - Thirdstorm

Files to download :

MAIN FILES - Super Mutant Redux v1.1
OPTIONAL FILES - Super Mutant Redux v1.4 (Hotfix Update)

Description :
"Who doesn't like destroying super mutants right? With this mod, my main goal is to add more diversity to the loveable muties. Having just regular mutants and suicide mutants isn't enough. So I've added Nightkin, Glowing Behemoths, Glowing Mutant Hounds and more. They will put a larger strain on your tactics, and force you to tackle the mutant threat in new ways.

WARNING:
This mod makes mutants a LOT stronger. Approach with caution, take time to evaluate your enemy. They are by no means indestructible, but they are more difficult to face. Especially the Nightkin. DO NOT underestimate them! Also, you HAVE to wait around 30 days in game for the full effects. Mutants as well as every single other npc in the game do not automatically change their entire appearance instantly. You need to wait, preferably indoors, for every mutant to respawn."

Unique Uniques - Unique Weapons Redone

Unique Uniques - Unique Weapons Redone - 1.01 - by Trainwiz

Files to download :

MAIN FILES - Version 1.01

Description :
"Did you ever pick up at the end of a long dungeon one of those "unique" weapons and get disappointed that it's literally just a legendary weapon? Unique weapons should feel unique after all. Don't worry, like so many things, I have fixed this erroneous error.

Unique Unique replaces all "unique" weapons (those weapons that are just renamed versions of normal weapons) in game with unique appearances and effects. Over 30 weapons are replaced with new models, textures, and effects!

What's more, uniques now behave like Kremvh's Tooth. The actual "unique" part of the weapon is a mod that can be detatched and put on other weapons, similar to Kremvh's Tooth. Also included is a brief system that uniqueifies any weapons you haven't gotten yet, and places unique mods down for any unique weapons you already found.

Features :

Over 30 new weapon mods, each with their own unique models and special effects
New effects for the Silver Submachinegun and the Deliverer
Seamless integration in new games"

MAIN FILES - The M2216 V1.1

Description :
"This weapon presents not only the culmination of the greatest in American minds but a bold statement of our renewed place in the world. Many assumed that since the Great War our proud Military and Government was no more, but with the 'Patriot' we will once again recapture our glory. Under the careful direction of President Eden our facility within [REDACTED] was able to begin again the research and development of the pre-war C.O.L.T weapons project. Our new head [REDACTED] directed the search to [REDACTED] in the Mojave Desert where concepts and even crude prototypes were procured. In the years following and despite the [REDACTED] we refined the weapon into the powerful, modern firearm you see today. It is on this day September 30th 2216 that we report the successful completion of all field trials for 'Patriot' and so designate it the M2216.

With this weapon, we the Government and through us the People, will once again reclaim our old world."

"So here is my All-In-One merge of all of my Weapon Mods. Thirteen (as of version 1.2) weapons in total. All of the weapons, except for the M2019 PKD Detective Special, are added into the Leveled Lists via script so it will be compatible with other mods that add to the Leveled Lists, including Legendary Lists. I have also added Wearable Apparel items for the following weapons: Catalyst AAS, Jaguar MSX LMG, LK-05 Carbine and SCAR-LK Assault Rifle. You can find the items in the Chem Station under Utility. Optional AWKCR Version that allows you to craft all the Weapons and Apparel at the AWKCR Workbenches."

Sorting, Cleaning and Testing: Part 10

Time to sort your mods one last time before we move onto textures.

At this point I have 238 active plugins. Note that the maximum amount of active plugins is 255, so if you're nearing or over this amount just keep this in mind as we continue, and maybe remove a couple of the optional mods further up in this guide. If you try to start your game with over 255 active mods, it will simply fail to launch.

Sorting your mods can also take a little while at this point, just let LOOT do it's thing.

At this point I advise you to start a new game and at least make sure that you can get to Sanctuary without crashing.
