I do have GIMP and that plugin, but that would be a pain to use as I need to do this to hundreds or thousands of files and I think I would have to do one at a time on there. I've looked through the utilities here and I haven't found what I'm looking for, but I might need to also look through the Skyrim utilities too.

I'm trying to setup a texture overhaul of the game and I need to reduce some 4k files to 2k files. I did this several years ago but I can't remember what program I used to do that part. I already used BAE to extract the BSA files, and I know I used Archive2 to repack them into BSA, but I can't remember the program or tutorial I used for this step. I also remember there were a couple of files that shouldn't be downscaled (is that the right word?) because they looked awful otherwise, and I think one of them was the interface for lockpicking but I can't remember what the others were. Thanks in advance.

Here is what it is saying: https://i.imgur.com/2LZOwtB.jpg, https://i.imgur.com/VRpgyz0.jpg It's not responding to any of the console commands, but it isn't responding to them with errors. startquest dlc04mq05, setstage dlc04mq05 4, and etc. aren't activating it or changing any dialogue or cells. Getstage dlc04mq05 always returns with a 0. Unfortunately my oldest save (that isn't at the beginning of the game) was after I accidentally smited Gage from existence. I don't know if that is the problem or if something else screwed up the script. I think it is borked and the best solution is probably to start over with Fast Overboss. Oh wait first I might try to do the open season quest to see if that lets me get the lights back working.

I completed setting up the third outpost which is the prerequisite but Shank isn't offering the quest. I'm not sure how to force the quest to activate :confused:

Thanks! I entered the codes and it says he is right next to me but I can't see him or interact with him in any way (but I did manage to get all of the items he had on him!) so I think it truly deleted him. I have no tears to shed for him but it turns out I need to turn in the final nuka world quest to him (Power Play - http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Power_Play) so now I need some help completing the last stages of that through the console. Am I supposed to setstage to 255 to mark it as completed or is there something more I am supposed to set? (I know that you know how tricky auto-completing quests can be!) I appreciate the help.

I was in the settlement menu scrapping things in Graygarden when he snuck up behind me and it targeted him when I was going to scrap something. I am using Place Everywhere, and I had the Insert Key/Extra Object selection turned on so I think that is why he got targeted. I don't have any companion mod running. I tried to use the Cheat Terminal mod to teleport him to me but it gave me an error and said that he was unable to be teleported.

This was the cause, thank you so much! :laugh:

Whenever I try to start the Creation Kit, it gets as far as "initializing windows" before it crashes. I've used the Bethesda.net launcher to keep it updated and have re-downloaded it but it's the same issue every time. I've tried running it as Administrator, tried different compatibility settings, and made a firewall exception for it. I'm not sure what's going on with it. Is there some rookie mistake I could be making that is causing it not to load correctly?

My guess is that you were thinking Armor Keywords was different from Armor and Weapons Keywords Community Resource (AWKCR)? AWKCR creates the ArmorKeywords.esm you are talking about. Here is the link.

Yes! A few mods include them. Snappy HouseKit: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11639 (I think they are in House Kit/Small town category) Grounded: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/29340 (I think you can find it under decor/requires Workshop Rearranged) Workshop Request Time: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/14660 (This adds random stuff in all the vanilla menus so I forget where you find them, maybe in concrete menu) Easy Homebuilder and Working Double Beds (Rebuild Your Sanctuary) https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/17521 (I am not sure if this one does, but I know it adds the sanctuary sidewalks at least)

I'm not aware of anything that does that specifically, but you could use Cheat Terminal to add all crafting material for your settlements.

Armorsmith Extended adds the ability for all eyewear and masks/full helmets to have that functionality, along with the choice of highlighting hostiles, allies, and corpses individually. It requires the AWKCR.

Many raider settlements use a lot of rope in their designs. Many settlement builders use wires as ropes in their designs. My idea is for a rope that emulates the way that wires work (except for transmitting power). The connector is the wrapped bundle of rope that is seen commonly in the raider settlements (usually on their spiky poles). The further apart the connectors are, the more the rope sags in the middle, like the wires do. The mod's function is for design only. Alternatively, a connector for the power wires that is more discreet than regular connectors and looks more appropriate as a support wire.

Hello! :) The closest already existing mod I can think of that has what you are describing is cVc's Dead Wasteland (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/28463) which I definitely recommend if you haven't already tried it. I think it might be the biggest workshop mod on Nexus. It has a broken/scavver theme and destroyed floors/walls/furniture, but maybe not all of the ones you are thinking of.

The best thing to do before installing drivers is to make a windows restore point before installing (if it's not setup to do this automatically.) If anything goes wrong, you can just restore your computer to right before you installed the driver.
