Ok, so many players are having crashes in Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, for many reasons: user error, mod problem, incompatibilities, etc... As a START to trying to make it an easier process, I had a friend write up a program to compare mod lists. Unfortunately, it can only do 2 at a time right now, but if anyone else knows how to do this sort of thing, maybe they can improve on it, and this can help people narrow down an issue, and help both modders and users. Preferably, a tool like this could take a batch of like, 10 or 20 lists at a time and compare them, then spit out the similar entries. So for example, if these 20 or whatever people are crashing and don't know why, they'd all submit their load orders, straight from the plugin.txt, (without the official esm's from the game and DLC's and WITHOUT the asterisks), and someone would take those lists, and plug them into the tool, and start it, then it would show you which mod/s are the same between those lists. This would help narrow down issues to being consistently from specific mods, and then this info can be given to the authors of those mods, to try and figure out what is causing the crash. He made the program and sent me the source code, but hasn't had a chance to test it yet, but is sure it should work. Again, it's small and simple, but it would be amazing if someone could take this idea, and turn it into a full blown, must have tool for Skyrim/FO/etc... for modders and users to compare their lists to narrow down issues. This obviously wouldn't be a definitive, "this mod has issues", type tool, but it could definitely help narrow things down if crashes are being experienced and majority of users have maybe the SAME mod, or something, then that mod could most likely be the culprit. Even with great tools out there, LOOT, NMM, Wrye Smash/Bash, etc... As well as great modders, it sometimes takes a long time to narrow an issue down, because it could be small, or hard to find, and with tons of people posting their load orders, some of those lists being 100-200+ mods long, it would take way too long to compare manually and a tool like this, if expanded and perfected, could immensely help modders and users alike and shorten that investigation time dramatically. I personally don't have any programming experience atm, so I couldn't write and do this tool myself, but my friend said he could whip something up basic, so here it is, and I hope maybe one day, something like this could be one of those, "must have", tools for modding games, like Script Extenders, LOOT, Mod Managers, etc...: Source Code: http://pastebin.com/ZwMKPHzf

TY for all the hard work! I know many of us are impatient, and it sucks that it's still gonna be another few weeks at least, but when it's ready it will be so worth it :D

That's a shame, because this is huge, like, DLC huge. I love the idea.

Looks great man!! I'm excited :D

+1 Agreed

I agree, it would be nice to do any color you wanted and not have the stock colors. I also think it would be awesome to be able to add partial coloring, like, for example, Harley Quinns hair in Suicide Squad. Blond with red on one side, blue on the other, etc...

That picture the OP posted looks EPIC!! I agree, this power armor would be awesome!!

I've looked for awhile but can't seem to find a solution. Could someone PLEASE make a mod that allows you to have Gage as a companion without having to be a raider. I've accepted that to have a, "good guy", role, I have to miss a lot of content, but I do not want to lose 3 settlements, and Preston Garvey, just to get access to Gage as a companion. I know there is a mod that solves the Preston issue, at least mostly, but I'd still lose 3 settlements and have done the, "bad guy", role in the DLC. So please, if anyone has the time, and will, can we get a mod that lets you keep Gage, without having to lose 3 settlements or Preston, or have negative effects to your Commonwealth factions/settlements, and to keep his full functionality? I mean, I'm sure with commands, I could add the perks I'd not be getting. I just hate that Bethesda put this DLC out there, and made it so anyone playing the, "good guy", role, has to miss out on a huge majority of the DLC, making it not worth the money. Ironically, they force a, "good guy", role in the main game, where no one can be evil in the same way as previous games, and made a freaking Fallout game feel linear, but when you play that forced, "good guy", role in Nuka World, you're punished? I'd like the same for X6-88, and could have sworn there was a mod for it, but the only one I can find as of typing this is said to not work :/

That all sounds freaking awesome and I could picture it as you described in my head. However, that would be a nightmare to code and put together I'm guessing. Maybe someone experienced could say different, but I can guarantee if done right, this mod would be one of those go to ones for Fallout!!

Well, seeing as a direct port is against Nexus rules.... *Edit*: Unless that only pertains to actually assets from the developers. If it doesn't pertain to mod themselves from another game, then I'm pretty sure you need the mod authors permission first

COuld always use a slimmer, curvier frame like from NAVI to get it to fit the look better

Doesn't have Arnold, but this has existed for quite awhile on Nexus.... http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2850/?

+1 Heck yes

I know it isn't what you look like, but your described companion sounds just like someone who would look like Bray Wyatt from the WWE haha Save for he uses a more, southern/cajun accent, instead of one from Boston. Onto the main point, I would most DEFINITELY use that companion. I use any type of good, fleshed out companion, male, female, etc...There also is indeed a crossbow mod for FO4, and it's good. I wish there were a way though to take the bow mechanics and animations from Skyrim and put them here, as I find a hunting bow/compound bow, so much more appealing to use than a crossbow. :D Here's hoping you get someone interested!! Oh, and I think the Willow author is making a female again, however, she may want to do a traveling partner like WIllow had in her past travels when she spoke about them. Maybe a....Joel to her Ellie vibe? (The Last Of Us)

This....this is a weapon I never knew about, and never knew I needed.....until now! I'd use it haha
