Howdy everyone, I've run into a rather odd bug. My fully automatic guns are firing incredibly fast. I've tried using Equipment Crafting Overhaul (ECO) to reduce the Fire Rate of my weapons, but it has no effect at all. I'm certain this is a bug that I picked up from some combination of mods. Maybe Burst Fire Framework. Maybe an overpowered perk unlocked from Hot Diggity Perks overhaul. Maybe just a random weapon I added. I honestly don't know. My hope is that someone out here has run into something similar and is willing to share their experience with it. I've done a lot of Google and Reddit searches and found nothing quite like this. There is a known audio bug. But what I'm experiencing is NOT just an audio bug. My guns are literally spitting out bullets at ludicrous speed. DPS is insane. Has anyone run into this before? If so, which mods were your culprit and did you every find a work around? Thanks all!

Howdy everyone, I've run into a rather odd bug. My fully automatic guns are firing incredibly fast. It seem like they are all shooting with speed of a fully revved-up mini gun. Perhaps faster. I've tried using Equipment Crafting Overhaul (ECO) to reduce the Fire Rate of my weapons, but it has no impact at all. Now admittedly, I use a LOT of mods. Mod count is well over 500. I'm certain this is a bug that I picked up from some combination. My hope is that someone out here has run into something similar. I've done a lot of Google and Reddit searches and found nothing quite like this. There is a known audio bug. But what I'm experiencing is NOT just an audio bug.

Howdy all, I'm hoping someone has run into this and can lend some insight. I have a long-running game (heavily modded, character level over 300) and It's been smooth sailing for the most part, until just recently: Last time I logged in and tried to load up my normal save, I received a pop-up telling me that "Scrap Everything .ESP" was no longer active. I checked Vortex and it shows that Scrap Everything is active and enabled in the mods area. I checked the Plug-ins and found the ESP is likewise there, present and enabled as always. So why is my saved game telling me that Scrap Everything has been removed from my load order? Not sure if it's a mod issue. Not sure if its a game issue. Not sure if its a Vortex issue. I only know that it is some kind of technical issue that I've never seen prior. Has anyone else run into something akin to this before? And if so, how did you troubleshoot it? Big thanks!

Sir what are the specs of your machine. I am curious what it takes in hardware to run so many mods. :smile: Howdy bud. I'm running an RTX2060 for graphics card; that's the biggest part I believe. Also a solid state drive is a must have.

Much appreciated! Looks like I'll be unpacking some BA2s to make room.

Good morning all, I'm hoping someone can answer this for me. I've recently hit my BA2 limit for Fallout 4 (not the 255 ESP limit - I'm already running around 500 mods with a ton of ESL conversions). I can now only download loose files or my game CTDs. I know I can unpack BA2s, but my question is this: Does Creation Club content count towards the games BA2 limit? That is to say, if I'm right at the brink and cannot download another BA2 mod, can I still buy CC content? Or will adding CC content count as adding more BA2 mods to my playthrough? Thanks!

Just FYI to anyone who has this same issue - I decided to play around and find out. Couldn't find a listed answer to this question anywhere, so I just updated. So far, updating from a very early edition of Mutant Menagerie and then adding Nuclear Safari has been no problem at all. I have zero issues. Hope this helps someone in the same boat.

Thanks, I appreciate the reply! I'm going to hold out for someone who uses Mutant Menagerie and has updated. This is a pretty popular mod, so I'm sure someone on here has first hand experience with updating to new versions. I don't necessarily need a mod author reply (I did try); I just need anyone who has ever updated Mutant Menagerie in their load order to tell me if they needed to start over or not. Anyone who uses MM and can chime in, your support would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Hi all, I'm hoping someone on here knows the answer to this. I've asked in all of the Mutant Menagerie mod pages and can't seem to get a reply: I downloaded Mutant Menagerie close to when it first came out. There's now been several updates. I would like to update all the way to current, but I don't know if a new game is required, or if this particular mod is safe to update mid-game. I'm currently about 70% done with a playthrough (character level 265) and I'm not ready to start over yet, but I'd love to add the Nuclear Safari add-on, and that requires the current version of Mutant Menagerie to work. Does anyone know if Mutant Menagerie is safe to update to the latest version on an existing playthrough? Or does it require a new game start if you update? Big thanks to anyone who can reply!

I have the companion mod I'm Darlene (I searched the forums for the mod and found nothing about this, so I'm hoping it's a broader issue that folks can help with). I tried to change Darlene's gear to something better (Vault tech themed armor). It equips fine and works great for a bit; but then suddenly I turn around and she's buck nekkid. The gear is still in her inventory and I can make her reequip it; but she keeps taking her clothes off again when I'm not looking. Is there a bug regarding companion equipment that limits customization of clothing? I've dressed up Piper and others in the past without issue, so I'm a bit stumped. Thanks to anyone who can help!

I use Vortex, but oddly enough disabling and deleting via Vortex didn't fix my trees. I had to manually delete the files and then reinstall to fix the BNS tree lod. Now I just need to figure out why my distant buildings, bridges, and Prydwin are so weird. Reddit had a few ideas. Maybe an ini tweak for ENB. Others have said maybe reinstall all of my texture packs (like Vivid AIO) and such. Looks like I've got some tinkering to do. I sure appreciate your continued help.

Well, I think I made it worse :huh: . I tried reinstalling my tree and Borealis lod texture packs, but it didn't help. I deleted all LOD labeled ini files from my ini preferences folder to no avail. Then I apparently did something silly and tried installing Far Area Reform to see if that would help with the distant textures. Now my tree trunks are pink and distant buildings are just pink blocks. Uninstalling FAR and reverting to a prior save does nothing to fix the new weird that I've invoked. I assume that something residual is sticking around in my files, but I have no clue what or where. The odd thing is that everything still pops back to normal when I get close enough. I think I may just need to put my level 134 hero to sleep and purge my mods for a fresh install. If you have any "may as well try this" ideas, I'm open to suggestions. If not, I'm thinking it may be time for a fire sale lol. Sadly, no luck so far. I think Far Area Reform must have left a loose file somewhere. Removing it and deleting the archive with my mod manager didn't fix it and sadly the mod creator has turned off comments and turned off the bugs area of his mod, so I can't ask for direct help. If I knew where the suspected rogue file was, I'd just go in and delete in manually. There's surprisingly little info online about where to look. Lots of folks have apparently had similar issues, but they don't tend to get replies from folks that actually found fixes for it.

Thank you so much!!! This was driving me nuts. I hope you don't mind me asking a few follow up questions: 1st - I do have one mod that specifically impacts LOD - I use Borealis's optional file for LOD for Boston Natural Surroundings. It worked great when I installed it, but I suppose something could have happened. I tried to reinstall it, but that didn't seem to fix the issue. Should I try deleting it and just using the non-Borealis distant textures again? 1st/part B - I do use a couple of performance mods: Insignificant Object Remover and FPS dynamic shadows - Shadow Boost + it's fix: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1822 https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/52327?fbclid=IwAR3W6ycE6Z5FYX84arQnH6UL7vkaC415FqpSAVf8lBB82c8UYGmJ07DAZ8I I actually forgot about the shadow boost mod until you mentioned performance. I installed this a long time ago and it's one of the few times I tweaked ini per the suggestions in the mod. Could this mess with LOD texture ini settings? It worked fine and I had zero LOD issues back when I first installed it. 2nd - How do I check my game through Fallout4 Launcher.exe? Am I looking for something specific? 3rd - I'll dig through my ini files. Thanks! If I find items that impact LOD, can I just delete them and then let the game regenerate the stock stuff again? I'm a newb at this part, so apologies upfront. I've heard some folks say they've deleted their entire ini folder and allowed the game to rebuild it. I've been hesitant to mess with it, but I'm willing to dig in and try. So far my only ini tweaks have been for Dynamic Shadow Boost and one for making the 3rd person camera center on my guy to avoid blur from ENB. Thanks again for your help!

Yes. I have a bunch installed via Vortex and sorted via LOOT. This wasn't an issue for a long time; I just happened to notice one day. My guy is level 134, so I've been playing for a bit. I'm pretty good about trouble shooting the normal oddities (and I have a decent grasp of setting mod priorities and such), but this distant texture issue is just odd. It eludes me and I can't seem to find anyone with a similar issue on Reddit. More than anything, I'm hoping someone has run into something similar and can point me to the right "basic" direction (i.e. is this a texture issue where I should start disabling texture packs to see what's wrong, is this an ini issue and I need to bust out Notepad and make some tweaks, is this an LOD issue that has a specific fix, etc.). I'm lost.

Hi all, I've run into a very odd issue with my distant textures. They look all kinds of messed up from a distance. Then they turn normal when I get closer. Here's some photos of what I'm seeing: (I zoomed in on some of the "from a distance" photos, but my guy is actually standing far back) Bridges from a distance https://ibb.co/YPxCqXy Bridges as I get closer https://ibb.co/Fn6QGvH The Prydwin from a distnace (yikes!) https://ibb.co/5LvKp0v And then normal looking as I get closer https://ibb.co/bJWYb6J City buildings at a distance https://ibb.co/98m4TzC And again, normalized once I get closer https://ibb.co/9yfLQzM Does anyone know what this is? A corrupt texture issue? An LOD issue that requires an ini tweak? Something to do with previs? I've tried using Bethini suggested settings to see if that would fix it. No luck. I'm still learning and a bit new to these issues. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi Thanks for the reply! No, the issue is that F doesn't do anything. Pressing F doesn't open up any groups. I think this is because Custom Favorites Menu is blocking it? I don't want to delete Custom Favorites Menu, but I have no idea how to configure it either. Someone on another forum said that one of the Custom Favorite Categories (like Consumables) would need to be removed and replaced? I just have no clue how to do this, so I'm hoping some who uses Custom Favorites Menu and SkyUI has found the workaround for this.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help this newb out: I have SkyUI installed and I also have Custom Favorites Menu: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4380?tab=posts&BH=0 I'm attempting to setup SkyUI groups, but pressing "F" doesn't access the menu. I'm guessing I need to do something to the favoritesmenu.cfg file in Notepad to alter this, but I have no clue what or how. I can't seem to find a straight answer online or in the mod's comments page, and the mod owner isn't active. I do know lots of folks use the Custome Favorites Menu (or some variation thereof) and most folks have SkyUI. Can anyone who uses both tell me how to configure this so that I can access and setup SkyUI groups without having to delete this menu mod? (By contrast, if someone knows of an up to date video on who to do this, I'd take that with a smile. I'm happy to do the footwork if I knew where to look, but I'm just at a loss here.) Thanks!!!

That's some very sound advice my friend. Thanks again!

Much appreciated! Buffout 4 is great. The Crash logs helped me a ton with getting rid of some toxic mod combo. Big thanks for jumping in here and help folks out my friend. I'll check into those FPS mods tonight. I hope you don't mind, I have one last question to ask and I've really been appreciating the advice you've given. The last thing I was thinking of altering is my ENB Preset. I use a pretty lightweight one, but I've heard great things about how little the mod Subtle ENB impacts fps. The problem is that I already have an ENB preset installed and (being a bit of newb still), I'm worried about switching between them. I suppose my only real question is this: When switching ENB Presets, do I need to do anything OTHER than remove the original files I copied over to install the preset? Or do the presets for ENB mess with other files that I'll need to track down and fix (i.e. do ENB Presets impact things like INI settings or add other files I need to search for and remove)? If I can simply delete the original Preset files I installed in the first place, it would make switching to a lighter weight Preset easy enough and (hopefully) that may help with some of my stutters and such.

Thank you! I play on PC. I just use my 4K TV as a monitor. I have Buffout 4 installed. I play on 1080 resolution, because anything better slows my fps dramatically.

Hi all, I'm sorry for the newb question here; but I'm having the hardest time finding a clear answer: I currently use a very basic ENB Preset called Natural-Lighting HD ENB (link below if it matters): https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/14122 I didn't realize this ENB Preset has no DOF included, so I downloaded DYNAVISION - Dynamic Depth of Field to add some. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12411 The problem is it looks... funky. I've used ENBs with DOF and know what they should look like. Just simple blurring. This combo of non-DOF ENB Preset + Dynavision fake DOF instead results in a kind of sparkly/white-washed look that is a bit jarring. The only reply I could find on the Dynavision comments section is that Dynavision doesn't jive well with ENB. So, I need to change ENB Presets or figure out how to make Dynavision work better via ENB Presets. Both of which are things I need help with. Well, just one of the two really. I'll do either. My big question for the latter is this: When switching ENB Presets, do I need to do anything OTHER than remove the original files I copied over to install the preset? I know this is newby; but do Presets for ENB impact any INI settings or add other files I need to search for and remove? Or will simply removing the original files I installed to install the preset in the first place do the trick and revert me back to base non-preset ENB status? I sure appreciate the help. Thanks!

Hi StormWolf. First, I wanted to thank you answering; you help a lot of folks on here from what I see, and it sure is appreciated. I wanted to let you know that I got the controller issue fixed. After digging into things a bit, I learned that the Xbox Elite 2 needed to be USB connected to the PC and then updated via a separate app from the Windows store called Xbox Accessories. After this was done; no more weird loss of control issues. Turns out it was something to do with the sensitivity settings for the paddles being just a touch off. I'm still working on the other bits, but I'll update you if/when I find fixes. I'm exploring the ideas you mentioned. Thanks again for your help!

Thanks in advance to anyone who has run into any of these odd issues and can point me in the right direction: 1. Add seemingly random times and in random places, my game will go from a locked 60 FPS down to a stuttering 1-5 FPS for just a few seconds and then it auto-corrects back up to 60 FPS again. This happens couple of times each playing session. 2. I occasionally loose control of my character's movements. This also seems to happen randomly. I'll be walking around and my guy will start to spin in a circle or run in a given direction without my controller input. Only lasts a second or two and then auto-corrects. 3. On very rare occasion; my screen will go black for just a second or two. When this happens, my game's display seems over-sized and no longer fits my TV screen (when I hit pause, for example, I can only see part of the pop-up box and the rest of it is hidden off-screen because the image is now too large). This does not auto-correct. I have to exit the game and restart it for this to go away when it happens. Fortunately; it happens rarely. 4. Lastly; while walking and running around, I seem to notice a very tiny stutter or hiccup where the game slows/freezes for only a fraction of a second. It's barely noticeable and doesn't seem to hurt anything, but it's there. I don't suppose anyone out there has run into any of these? Thanks!

I see folks constantly port mods from PC to Xbox. Is the opposite also possible? If you find an amazing Xbox mod that isn't listed on Nexus, is there a way to port from Bethesda to Nexus instead of vice versa?
