I hate mods. That's not fair, I don't hate mods per se, but there has always been something about using most mods that just felt a bit like cheating, in fact, the only mod I've ever downloaded and used was Caliente's nude mod. For um, realism. *cough* But that's not why I'm here. For over a decade I've refused to use them, until just today when I finally caved and installed the Scrap Everything mod. My fall from video game purity was caused by a bush. Just one. I had spent over two months struggling to build a player home at the Coastal Cottage site, which is, as everyone is aware, one of the most challenging build sites in Fallout 4. I sweated and labored and cursed my way through it until I finally was able to build around that damnedable structure, and start building outward from there. After many, many hours of my life utterly wasted in Fallout's virtual world, I completed a home that I was proud to call my own. With one small issue. Right in the middle of a room was a bush sticking up out of a concrete floor. I ignored it. I walked through it. I pretended for more weeks that it really didn't bother me all that much. Until today when I realized I'd done nothing with that room because of that freaking bush. I caved. I installed the Scrap Everything mod with the sole intention of just getting rid of that cursed bush, that's all I'll do I told myself, just that one bush. I got rid of that fraking bush, and saw that all was good. Then I remembered those unscrapable stairs at Outpost Zimonja, and I eliminated them with extreme prejudice. Then it occurred to me that I could also get rid of some bushes sticking up through the floors at my Sanctuary build , and like magic, they were gone. After that, I don't recall much, I went mad. I have a vague recollection of visiting every settlement and eliminating every slightly irritating object I've ever had to contend with. I may have been uttering sniggering noises as each vanished, I do know that at one point I uttered the words; "die you F.....G board!" because my wife became concerned and came it to check on me. I don't normally curse. So I have fallen. I can no longer claim the moral, gamer purity that I once possessed, no more sneering at those mod users. No more feeling that my un-modded builds were by their simple nature, somehow superior to others. But no more. This stops here. I can quit anytime I want...right? Oh, um, I endorse this Mod.
