Errant6

Thank you for the responses. Seems like Nexus has been going through some trials, I hope everything comes together.

Many of the more popular mods end up with dozens or even hundreds of posts on their respective comments history and in times past there was a link to a related forum thread where we could do keyword searches. If that forum link still exists I haven't found it, nor have I found a way to search comments without reading every.single.post. I am I missing something or was there a deliberate decision to make researching mod issues much more difficult that it used to be?

I just encountered this too. I've used Vortex to run Fallout 4 with mods on the same drive I have Baldur's Gate 3 installed on. Both steam versions. I did a full windows reinstall after getting sick of problems with the BG3 Mod Manager and decided to try Vortex for BG3. Everything *looks* like it installs fine until I try to load a modded save game and BG3 tells me no mods are installed. I go back to Vortex and see the Deployment Interrupted message. What the heck is "an elevated process", what settings do my User Access Control need to be and/or what different deployment methods are available? It's a singularly unhelpful error message. Edit: I came across this Youtube guide by Food then Games: ... and realised Vortex was launching in Vulkan mode when I had been playing in DX11 mode. When I swapped to the ...Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\bin\bg3_dx11.exe as the starting tool and restarted BG3, suddenly BG3 was recognising installed mods.

I don't want to change how weapons function, or their stats, or even what they look like to other players online, but the assault rifle (especially) is SUCH an eyesore that I would love a mod that let me change what it looks like at my end of the game. Is this an option I've just been unable to find?

Thanks Storm, any info is helpful. End of the day I'd like to replace the looks of the canon weapons, but not the stats - but most replacers require a base weapon mod and don't specify whether you end up with just new-looking-canon-stat-weapons, or those plus the modded weapons (often with dramatically different stats), dropping around in game. Guess I need to wrap my head around making my own weapon replacers if I really want to be sure.

So, just wondering. how weapon replacer mods and their prerequisites work when overwriting default weapons. e.g. If I use a weapon install the Ultimate M4 Pack, then the Replacer Pack that draws off the UM4P to replace Handmade Rilfes with CAR15's... Does that mean when I find "CAR15"s in-game... they all have the Handmade Rifle stats? they all have the Ulitmate M4 Pack's CAR15 stats? orit depends entirely on how the Replacer Pack is written?do I need to avoid level list injectors when installing the Ultimate M4 Pack* to be sure? *(I can't remember if that particular mod has level list injectors but some replacer pre-reqs do...) Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Just add a Vortex Collections section in the... Vortex section? Remember that the Collections API will be open and it will be possible for MO2/NMM/whateverelseexists to implement the feature as well. As one of the unwashed masses that uses mods far, far more than I'm ever likely to write one - through Vortex, I'd personally find it heartening to see the roots of Collections' development remembered by placement within the Vortex section of the forums. Then again, maybe that would just feel like payback for the leetist "just use MO2/NMM" posts I"ve seen since my discovery of FO4 and the addictive ever-expanding trove of mods in the Nexus hoard. I don't really care where such a forum appeared though. It would just be nice to not have to trawl through pages of random chat to find topics of long term relevance to me.

Thank you. I guess I should have expected a discord, but I'm a bit old fashioned and find forums MUCH easier to navigate and comprehend, especially when trying to follow a particular question/topic over time. Guess I'll dig up the link and stumble around. Thank you Zanerat. I had come across the collection topics forum, but each thread seems locked to discussion of a particular collection, while I was hoping for one where the collection *system* could be discussed. It seems the trend towards Discord marches on, despite (IMHO) this style of forum being much easier to track and understand discussions on topics.

Maybe my search-fu is failing me but I can't find a Collections-dedicated Nexus Forum where I/we can discuss the creating, uploading, editing and updating Collections. I've stumbled into one with threads locked to discussing specific Collections, the wiki is somewhat useful, and I can find scattered threads with an overarching forum searches, but there seems to be a distinct lack of somewhere easy to find that we can discuss making the most out of this new Nexus feature. In short, it seems quite hard to find information that we can't deduce from the sometimes obtuse basics. Is there actually a forum I've overlooked? (If so please point me in the right direction) When can we expect one? In the absence of a categorisation tool with Vortex (that doesn't wipe or reset every time a bee sneezes) I've found draft collections a great way to organise my personal mod preferences, but I have questions I can't find the answers to in the wiki and had no response to suggestions and bug reports I've locked my collections page. I had around 400 mods working nicely together for a while before I messed something up I couldn't figure out and had to start again. I get that Collections are still in development, but it would be great to have somewhere the Collection-inclined community can discuss the quirks and help each other make the most out of this option. Who knows, it might rev up enthusiasm.

Having come back to Nexus for another run at FO4 to find some of my old-favourite mods gone or hard to find, it occurs to me that the vast majority of enjoyment Ive had from mods comes out of the passion and generosity of people far more talented than me at this kind of thing, sharing their work in a space where I can access it. As well as those whove shared instructions and guides that help us code-illiterates fumble through installations and configurations. It was disappointing to see the exodus but Ive dabbled with the collections system, mostly to organise the mods Im currently enjoying that seem to work well together and it looks very promising for the future. Hopefully mod makers and Nexus devs can reach a happy place that brings departed authors back one day, but regardless of that, Im awed and grateful for the talents that let me tweak my game experience to suit my tastes far beyond the core game that I paid for. Whether you shared you work forever or just for a time thank you.

Red Rocket Repaired has some options including one that gets rid of the fuel arm. Im away from home at the moment but I think I installed the main mesh file then the no arms optional file to get rid of them. Such an annoying feature. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10337?tab=files I think Jenncaves Clean & Simple Red Rocket worked as well if you can track that down, but it seems to overlap something else I had for Sanctuary or Abernathy so Ive stuck with RRR currently.

Just wondering, what ever happened to the Mass Effect armour mod that got a YouTube review back in 2016 then (apparently) disappeared? How is it that theres only one mod these days offering a mass effect themed reskin of combat armour (which lives in my load order) when there are so many great looking other mass effect armours that havent made it across? X-com 2 has ME armour mods in the steam workshop, Im amazed theres not a bunch of FO4 options on nexus.

Probably a reference to Sim Settlements 2. Its been a while since I had the opportunity but Im pretty sure its an option.

I've hit a bug where I fast travel to a settlement and find the entry filled with junk that looks like settlement assets. I have a vague memory of something similar being linked to assets placed into storage during workshop build mode but I can't find the reference. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
