I am in need of some feedback and help if posible, I am about to start replaying Fallout 4 again, last time I played it was many years ago. My goal with modding the game is to modernize and improve the game without adding too much stuff or “cheating items”, meaning better graphics, better UI and inventory, better flowing game. And install without having to change and move files around too much, and as much plug’n play as possible.
I tried to mod the game as is with High Res texture pack installed, because i found Vivid Fallout first and it said works with that HR-DLC (I have seen some posts saying to downgrade the game, so I am not sure what will be the better visual experience, downgrade and mod or keep High Res and mod?)
I installed F4SE first, then I decided to use as many Vivid Fallout mods I could so they will work together without too much trouble.
(All in one, Thicket, LOD and Far distant detail, Landskapes parllax occlusion, Complex parallax rocks, armor workbench)
I found and added True Storms and wanted to use RealisticLighting with that, but for some reason Realistic will not work as it looks for TrueStorms.esp file, but the Truestorms is.esm file and would not work.
So I ended up uninstalling TrueStorms and RealisticLighting and instead I installed NAC and “Ultra Exterior Ligting”. I kinda works, but when the NAC mod changes the weather it is like changing the channel on the TV, not gradually but rather instant change, it kinda threw me a bit off.
As for UI mods I was going for FallUI (HUD, Map, inventory, sleep and wait, Workbench). It looks like it works, but I wish I could have better filters like what slots each item fits.
I think most of the mods are working, but I am afraid a few do not, I can't find any way to edit the mods so i tried to install Mod Configuration menu 1.39, but it is not updated yet so it does not work either.
Should I reinstall Fallout 4 without HR pack and downgrade or should I just keep HR pack?
Are there any modding collections I should use instead or should I go for single mods like I have done so far?
I have tried to search but most pages about mods is “top 10” not “best synergy”. Top 10 does not mean they will work together.
Any good tips of what will work best together to give the best graphical experience?
Thanks.
