Hi there, I was wondering if anybody could give me a hand creating several of my PC's into Followers? I know I can save them with the 'spf' etc but I just cannot seem to get it working with Creation Kit and all that. The guides I find just end up confusing me, telling me to open things that literally aren't there.

Howdy! Back in classic Skyrim, I had requested a companion mod (just a few savegames I send to a person, and they made them into NPCs, then I used console to recruit them) of my own characters, so I could always have my full party with me! I was wondering if it's hard to do this and if somebody could help me out? It just needs to add the named & looks of said NPCs into the game and I'm sure I can figure out a way to recruit them then. Secondly, what is the most popular multiple follower mod? Doing a new built after all this time with the AE. Thanks for any replies! :smile: Edit: Huh, just found https://www.patreon.com/posts/familiar-faces-35202526 while browing around. Might be able to just try that then! Edit2: Nevermind, seems problematic.

Thanks a lot folks. I'll definitely check them out! I see that Start Me Up has not been updated in a long time. Does anybody know what is a good replacement, or if it still works well? Edit: Installing things through NMM is not letting me have a little installation menu, I'm pretty sure the mod manager or MCM or whatever it's called is supposed to.. Any idea why?

Thank you so, so much for the recommendations! I will definitely check them out soon. Hoping to hear a few more! :)

Hey folks, Installing mods for FO4 on my fiance's laptop (lets hope it runs properly!) and following this guide.: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/23556 It's, from what I know, a really good one.. I was wondering however, I wanted to add a specific few additional mods (still halfway into installing, but wanted to post this so people could reply already. :) ) and to see if these work. What I'm looking for.: - Additional content (I'm getting some workshop stuff, which I'm sure is safe-- and mostly the additional mods that add a lot of content, I know for a fact I'll get those.) North Spings, Sector V, America Rising, etc etc-- which ones would you recommend? - Expansions for existing content.: Diamond City Expansion for example, does that still work? - Extra's for the factions, such as.: Minutemen Military, Minutemen overhaul, General of the Minutemen, BoS control airport, etc. - Weather.: Des True Storms & Vivid Weathers still work with that specific patch for us? I always struggle choosing between them.. If not recommended, which one would YOU go with? Is Vivid Fallout good or is it not a weather thing? - Settlements.: This does not mean automatic settlements, but better settlers & settlements mods, like adding more workshop content that's actually good. Spawning in good guards, etc.. - Equipment.: I remember last time I had a mod that let me make outfits n vests that had patches, from Minutemen to the Railroad, from the BoS to the Enclave. Does anybody recall what it is? It may be miltiarized Minutemen. I'd also love to hear your best armour & weapon mods out there! Is the backpack mod still operational? - Companions.: If there was five to choose from, what would you say are the best custom companions? And what mod is best to improve your companions (no using ammo etc) and to allow you to bring multiple with you. I don't recall what it was, but my last one allowed them all to have a say when walking around some areas and get influence. It was awesome! I also seem to recall a submarine you could live in and move around with, was that the Dauntless? With a friendly captain? Or is that vanilla? What do you think I should AVOID for performance issues? I did have a lot of crashes when opening my inventory or others' inventories, I heard Vis-G is part of that and I also will avoid things like better blood etc to try and avoid those conflicts. Any advise is welcome! :)

Thanks, I found the foundations. :) It seems the lights aren't there. Maybe they're unlockable through magazines?

https://www.ign.com/wikis/fallout-4/Shack_Foundation_1 Found this, but can't find it ingame.

Hey folks, I'm using SKE (SSEX? Idk), Homemaker and a few others (but those are the big ones!) and I cannot for the life of me find outdoor lights that aren't street lights. I'm looking for yellow construction floodlights, does anybody knwo where they are located? I feel like I checked every tab. Thanks! <3 Edit: And while I'm at it, I could've sworn FO4 had foundations like F76 does-- just big blocks that can click into one another to build over. Where can I find those?

I have 301 plugins, but 200-ish mods in MO2. Shoudln't it instantly CTD if I went over the mod limit? Edit: Seems I was definitely over the limit! Do you happen to know which one of these have ESL versions? I'd really rather not reinstall everything all over, but I do want to save some room. Edit 2: Or is there a way to go past the limit?

Anybody?

Hey guys, I saw people having this issue and.. well. I'm having the same issue. I was so proud of myself after installing a whopping amount of mods and having zero CTDs and only one instance of blackface that I fixed instantly. I'm so put down that this is happening. I started my game, loaded it later and found I was having this issue where mods all reset and reinitialize themselves. I spend over a week installing all of this, adding to almost 30 total hours. Please don't tell me I have to reinstall everything. I don't know if there actually is a mod/plugin limit, if so.. is it possible to merge all plugins into one big plugin? I'm guessing not. I have a large amount of mods and won't deny that, but the game itself actually works so well besides this. I really hope somebody has a solution. This is for all saves, by the way. Every single one. Thank you.

Why in gods name does Bethesda keep bringing out useless f*#@ing updates? Every single time I want to attempt to get back into my game there's some shitty update so I have to fix my NMM and all of my mods that require F4SE.

Well, it isn't for one person-- it's for roughly a dozen, but I do understand that. Thank you. I'll watch that. :)

A new game may be a wise idea, I guess. I'd hoped to have a few new things added to it, but since I'm too stupid to figure it out.. I guess I can join the many. :P The only problems I still have in a new game are my weird running animation.

Yeah, I guess I'm just an utter idiot. I can find the files you're talking about well enough, as in-- the ones to download.. But I just can't figure out anything you're saying. A bunch of things I know nothing about. I thought it'd been easier, make some armours have the same colour as army fatigues, slap a logo on.. But, nope-- or maybe it is easy and I'm just stupid, it's possible enough. I have no idea where to start with what you said. I guess thank you for trying, but I just don't get it. The abraxo was easy enough, but that's a prop and it was an easy thing to do. None of this is being processed by my brain.

Right, using a video, I got some results. It was a test run before reading your reply, sorry! That was actually really fun to do, also. :D Now let's see what you saiddd.. 1 & 2: Check. :smile: 3 - 6: used photoshop, but it worked great-- thanks a bunch! <3 New folder? Okay. Will do that. What's the material edittor? Damnit, this is where I start losing it again >. < I'm such an idiot, sigh. I didn't get any of that, 8 to 11. Yeah I got nothing past 6.. :tongue: That was just overwhelming and confusing for me, sorry. :/ What BA2 files would I be extracting, exactly? I'm so confused. Edit: I got the material edittor but the rest is still very confusing. >.<

Huh.. I don't quite get it. So to make it not a replacer, but a custom item, I just need to put it in the new folder I make? How would I even obtain it ingame, then? And how do I find out which textures I need to open, exactly? Say for example I want to use the dirty army fatigues as an example? I looked in FO4Edit and it really boggles my mind so far. Maybe I'm just feeling overwhelmed by all of the information at once, I don't know, but it's.. overwhelming, really. I'll try again though ^^' Look up a video with a basic thing like you said. Much appreciated again.

Preston now also keeps going "What are you looking at?" whenever I try to talk to him. >.<

Hey folks, I finally fixed my issue seen in https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/6828592-fallout-4-stops-responding-when-opening-a-work-table-or-reading-a-magazine/ by reinstalling every mod at a time. My game feels a bit smoother now, even if I'm missing a few mod files (due to installing them more compatible etc).. However, only one thing bothers me.. Running! When I run with a two handed weapon (not melee or pistols) I have a really funky running animation and I got no idea why. Anybody have any idea? Thanks in advance! Update: Some more issues. - R key causes surrender, but I have nothing in my hotkeys config about it. - Game seems a lot brighten/less pretty than it was before. - Missing bits on a person! - My Dogmeat keeps running away, even when using ResetAI and RecycleActor.. Any ideas? He keeps going to Fort Hagen and waiting there. - Can't dismiss Preston. https://i.gyazo.com/74ed61ce4dc0fb0a183a24727ceab0e6.jpg

Sorry, Yulliah-- I had a lot on my mind, still a fair amount, but I'm going to be trying it once more. It just felt 'too much' for me to handle at the time. ^- ^ ' Very grateful for it nonetheless though and I'll be trying this as soon as I have time and will keep y 'all updated :)

Updated.

Yeah, it is-- I figured bumping just makes it seem.. Eh, annoying. The first thread was slightly different, but, aye, you got me! Hrm, that makes a lot of sense-- in the last thread somebody suggested something, but I couldn't make heads or tails of it.. So, sure! Shoot. I'd gladly give it a go. :)

Hey all, I've been waiting for Fallout to develop a bit more before asking this, but I want to make my 'own faction' so to speak (looks only!) when making my settlements. That'd mean a few items you can place in your settlements like flags, and a few armours, namely some of the combat armours/army uniforms. Anybody willing to give me a hand with this? If so, I can provide details. I'd prefer them to be custom so they don't oversave, but it's no biggie if it does- thanks for the help! Here's a list of what I'd like. Primary.: - Army Fatigues (helmet too, clean or dirty, either way! Or Military fatigues, if that looks better.) - Combat Armour (All variants if possible, but primarily normal one.) - Brotherhood of Steel Uniform - Brotherhood of Steel Hood - Power armour paintjobs. (No need for any special stats to add to it, can copy paste whatever brotherhood uses or whatever.) - Flag for settlements. Secondary.: - Bandana. - Military Cap. - Field Scribe Armour (and hat) - Brotherhood Fatigues - Airship Captain's Hat - Gunner Guard Outfit - Gunner Flannel & Jeans - Gunner Harness - Gunner Leather - Hazmat Suit - Labcoat Probably not what you expected, heh.. Due to the amount of things! Ideally, I'd want them a realistic black and green colour (hence gunner stuff is secondary, some look ok already!), as I've tried and only managed to get it really dark black, which just seemed unfitting in the wasteland, and the primary thing I'd like is for the logo's on the helmets, chest pieces and so on to be changed to my own logo. Preferrably I'd love if that logo was put onto the upper arms of the brotherhood uniforms and army fatigues etc too, to show who 'we' are. Logo & Colour examples in Fallout 3 (Was red instead of green there).: https://imgur.com/a/xnigC https://seeklogo.com...eeklogo.com.png I hope this helps a little bit, and I know I am asking for quite a lot.
