XD. Thanks .

First sentence should read "there have already been nearly..." no ? Your 4th paragraph mentions more complex MODs "such as Quests" -> DDRProduction83's "Prelude to Vault 273" deserves special mention there imho, since its the first and only one of its kind so far, and an impressive display of what some maniacal-incredibly-skilled-weirdo-MA-who-is-a-God-amongst-mere-mortals ( or sthg. like that ) can ALREADY do with the tools avilable ( which after all is one of the premises of your Article, MODs that have already been created without the official CK XD .) . Otherwise, not a bad read .

Did your game update itself with the latest Beta patch by Bethesda from Steam ? If so, those instructions maybe a bit outdated . I am not entirely sure, but I THINK Beth changed the .ini(s) to look at the archives instead of directories... XD . Anyways: Usually, the .ini files should be at "MyDocuments\MyGames\Fallout4\" . You should not see a Fallout4.exe in the Directory where you look for the .ini(s) to be changed XD . If there is no [Launcher] in your Fallout4Prefs.ini...dare and simply add that Section like this : [Launcher] bEnableFileSelection=1 ? As for the Data Dirs thingie -as I wrote above .

You would have saved me a LOT of typing had you posted that roughly 30 mins earlier . All that would've been left for me to do would have been +1. Cos -> Yeah ikr . Spot on .

Svastika I am aware is of Buddhism and Hinduism. My family follows Buddhism even though I am really more of a non believer. Hitler borrowed it from Tibetan Buddhism I believe, after befriending the Dalai Lama. Thanks to bring to my attention about how modern German still share some affiliations with past history. It is worthy to note for my personal knowledge. I understand that such Nazi related stuff are against the law in Germany, if I read you correctly. How do you guys deal with documentaries or movies? They need special permits to premiere? (Honest question). Movie like Inglorious Basterds and Valkyrie, are they banned in Germany? I heard people complained about historical accuracy, but I still love that movie a lot even solely for all the details. One of the (more symbolic than historical) movie I love is "The boy in Pajamas". That being said, what I try to do here is only to reuse existing content from other modders, and my content is more tamed and straight forward than Valkyrie (portraying a Nazi officer as good guy, WTH?) and in the same direction as Wolfenstein. I don't understand why people think this has never done before and will carry heavy consequences (that you urge me to reconsider) like this is the very first time I tell some truth about German that is totally unheard of before? One of the more daring move on Bethesda is portraying Chinese as the bad guy in FO3, responsible for invading Alaska, and partly responsible for starting this Great War. But hey, this is fiction. From the get go this is presented as alternate history, and doesn't seem to be specially racist against Chinese, but just human nature. Chinese long history had a great number of tyrants, traitors, and all sort of bloodthirsty warlords, too. Just put the wrong guy in power and you will see. I don't see anyone boycotting Bethesda for portraying Chinese this way, why do people have problem with me just adding some content to the already heavily demonized past and long dead regime? Of course if such content breaks the law in your region, then by no mean I encourage you to break the law and get in trouble. But bottom line is, I am not trying to glorify Nazi, instead, I am making them antagonists to be shot at by the player. It is difficult for me to reply to your post in an appropriate way, for one this is because you put out statements and assumptions every other half sentence which would need to be commented on . Another reason is that your mindset regarding this subject is so totally different from mine, it would likely lead to argument . And that I want to prevent .So I am going to stick to answering some factual question of yours, as well as replying in a kindof generalized way to most of the rest of what you wrote regarding Germany/Nazi past . The Nazi Past of Germany can never be erased, or forgotten . It is at times not really easy to live with that knowledge - be it from a purely personal standpoint, or when pondering the past and ongoing political ramifications and implications . What gets old with time is the thing you want to do - create something where the Nazis/which equals Germans - are the template for badguys, anatgonists, etc . Serious, I mean I am NOT kidding - it gets old. Those MODs you see here on the Nexus and want to build up upon - I would not be amazed if one or the other was made by a German modern Nazi . I admit I have not checked, but as I said - I would not be amazed at all . Regarding the legal situation: german legal apparatus does distincly differentiate between movies/documentaries etc., and games/other media when applying the relevant §. It is ofc complicated. If you are REALLY interested in the matter, here is a wikipedia Link citing the governing german law: StGB §86a . This is kindof essential knowledge . From there on, you can expand towards educating yourself about how the legal apparatus justifies movies/documentary being treated differently than lets say computergames . But I do not want to get too far into that . Here are a few of the reasons why I asked you to reconsider: It gets old using the Nazis/Germans as bad guys/antagonists .As mentioned before, dealing with the past is not at all easy for many people in regards to NaziGermany .I for one am personally really tired of having to deal with this past on a day to day basis . "Day to day ?" you ask yourself in wonder, so let me tell you that a LOT of the civil and other laws still in effect in Germany are exactly the same as they were during the Nazi regime . Many of those have actually been established by the Nazis . A lot of the "wealth" in germany is directly owed to Nazi past . You have no idea HOW MUCH has been taken from all those people being deported, killed in camps etc. I dont know the exact specifics either, but I have a general Idea. And I grew up in a 8k people "village" where the handfull of richest families were then and still are the richest cos their ancestors were Nazi puppets 30 years before I was born . Past gone and all, NOBODY came by and took the Land and other Stuff back from these people, and NOONE questioned or questions their social and political power in that area, which is - to this day! - owed to the German Nazi Past.... . SO when I say I have to deal with that past day by day, I mean it: I am open eyed and intelligent enough to see the still ongoing effects of that "long dead" regime in todays Germany. Which often frightens me tbh . It pisses me off on a personal level that one of my alltime favourite Games - Fallout4 - has obviously already been infested by Nazi mods, be it the SS Uniform mods, or the BoS mod, or whatever . Serious, as simple as that - it just pisses me off . Whether someone wants to use that stuff for glorifiying the Nazis, or for making them "antagonists" does not really much matter to me - already pisses me off enough that it is at all present .Last but not least - controversy . As you already have on your hand even without having done/published anything .I am sorry if I may come across incoherent . The thoughts as well as emotions racing through my mind when it comes to that subject in general are enormous, and so much would have to be said when people start and try to take the German Nazi past lightly, or try to act as if it would not touch exactly those thoughts and emotions in an enormous amount of people - still . As I said a few times by now: it is not really past, it is not really long forgotten . Just consider whether you really want to contribute keeping it alive in the way you plan to do is all I ask.

Nazipast is NOT as easily dealt with as you want to make belive it to be, especially for Germans . All the blame has NOT being magically erased ( hard to believe I know, but I can tell you, being german and travelling WILL bring you comments towards the NAZI past pretty fast/quick almost everywhere.... ) . The fact that you seem to think Nazi stuff having made it into Popculture and being classy is perfectly acceptable does not make it better actually .NAZI Ideology is NOT dead, neither in Germany nor quite a lot other European countries, in fact the extreme rightwingers gain momentum massively for years already again . But that aside - just had to add this since I prefectly well KNOW what I am talking about form personal experience, and just had to correct your notions... - the bigger Problem actually is: The Svastika NaziStyle, the Uniforms being identical to historical Nazi Uniforms and quite some other Stuff is/are actually forbidden in Germany - with many Items, even a depiction of them already is . To be precise, people can get into trouble for just having a picture of the Nazi Svastika on their PC ( which is kindof sad when it comes to that Symbol, since the Idiots basically desecrated a millenia old holy symbol XD .) . Id advise you to consider that before you go ahead and create content including stuff like that and publish it .

*Ugh* Been reading a LOT of commentpages and Forums posts the last few days . Quite some poeple seem to run into trouble with mods one way or the other . One thing that kindof caught my attention is the plethora of different recommendations about how the .ini Files need to be changed for mods to work properly . Heres what the nexus wiki says: Fallout4ModInstallation - NexusWiki Me personally, I enabled the File Selection in Prefs.ini, and did the 2 Line edit to both the Custom.ini as well as Fallout4.ini - since the Guide mixes those up somewhere :wink: . I had up to 60 plugins running ( until I decided to screw NMM virtual install and go back to only manually installing, now I have 0 plugins/mods loaded XD) , and I did not encounter any problems in roughly 100hrs. of gameplay . Sooooo......how does everyone else edit their .inis ? I am talking to YOU, people with admirably enormous LoadOrders of all the MODs anyone would ever want to use, who have created custom patches to get it all working together . Or MAs themselves . Am just thinking, with so many Problems latley, and people alrady claiming we would need the abnormally long string of Directories added again for MODs to work, may be helpfull for some people to see what other do and is proven to work .

How do you install and organize your MODs ?

Well, if you have it set to read only already, from my experience you should be good if you only install MODs through NMM and let it manage the file for you . I am getting the following message when starting NMM: "plugins.txt is read-only, so it can't be managed by Nexus Mod Manager . Would you like to make it not read-only ?" I click "Yes", and NMM takes over from there . Seems it changes the property of the file when needed, and changes it back when done, so it cant be wiped .

As per instructions I followed to make stuff work, you would also need to do this: In Fallout4prefs.ini, add this under [Launcher]: bEnableFileSelection=1 Source:Nexus Guide But then, Bethesda has published a patch through steam roughly 90 mins ago . My Fallout4.ini looks a slight bit different, the 2 added Lines are still there, but some stuff was squeezed in between them....I do not know how that affects modability of the game yet .

Only thing that comes to mind is plugins.txt . I had this happening unless I did set it to "read only" . Seems one of the things Bethesda did with the Patch before todays was to make it so that this little .txt gets wiped at every start/launch of FO4 XD . NMM will ask you for permission to change that setting at every start so it can manage the file for you .

If someone would make something like this Instant Merchant - Goonie for FO4, I guess would solve the mentioned Problem - and a few others not mentioned here . I'd do it if I knew how XD . Would gladly assist anyone who wanted to give it a Shot, if I can .

No. Nonononono. You are trying nothing for ME ! You are trying stuff I suggest to try so YOU get YOUR game running with the MODs you have installed . Seems I totally dont know what could solve your Problem . I am sorry . Uh.......i'm sorry? I didn't mean to offend you if that's what i did XD my wording just wasn't right. I appreciate your efforts, thanks for trying to help. I'll have another play around with it tomorrow. :smile: Nah, no offense taken, ease out :) . Was just worried about a misunderstanding is all . Am really sorry your time and efforts were wasted so far . I hope you can fix it somehow .

No. Nonononono. You are trying nothing for ME ! You are trying stuff I suggest to try so YOU get YOUR game running with the MODs you have installed . Seems I totally dont know what could solve your Problem . I am sorry .

Well, you are running 2 Homemaker - Sk patches . Make sure you run only 1, and let that one be Homemaker's patch for starters . If that does not change anything, see what happens when you disable Homemaker .

Right . I am sorry, I mistyped in my above post, the question of how much RAM actually arises even if you had all those MODs installed and working together before . 2 things came to mind: do you have Simple Intersection - Homemaker patch installed ? If so, uninstalling it could help . RAM maybe relevant since it is debated whether the "keyword limit" issue is actually a RAM issue. Basically - if I understand it correctly - the game loads all the menues and correspdonding Icons when you enter Workshop mode . Soooo....Homemaker having added a massive amount of new Stuff - build sets, prefabs etc. - could probably simply bring your machine to its knees when it tries to load all that stuff XD. I think OCD having added quite a few things latley wouldn't relly help - if what I suggest is the Problem .

Did you have all of those MODs working together nicely/displaying all their Menues/build options before correctly ? If not, how much RAM do you have ?

Even better: "Unfortunately, this Video is not available in your country becaue it could contain music from UMG, for which we could not agree on conditions of use..." XD

That pretty much sums the life expectancy question up....endless . For those posessing the creativity to make it happen . Looking at what can be done with FO4Edit already, and by now having learned that a huge portion of information necessary to make it even better/complete will most likely only be revealed/learned with the release of the official CK, its going to be amazing . I think the tools to make almost anyhting happen are mostly there, its mostly information about structure/meaning of stuff thats missing . But I know noting really, just my 2 cents.

Just a heads-up, DDP released an AIO for all his crafting MODs: DDProd AIO Should not mess with anything else - xcept Homemaker I hear - since DDP keeps using vanilla menues and such, while Homemaker intentionally changes a few vanilla menues . In any case, it has been reported Homemaker gives DDP crafting MODs issues XD .

You Are an ANGEL! Thanks zilav ! Not only for your reply, but most of all for all the work you put into xEdit already, and still making it better . "ModFileFormat"... XD . Eerie, not having found what I was looking for 'cos of not knowing what to search for .

Hiho. As the title indicates, I am desperately searching for any resource/reference regarding the GRUPs ( recordtypes/objects, whatever you name it: the 4 letter BOLD abbreviations like COBJ, DLBR, FLST and all the others... ) . I am trying to get my hands at modding, but am incredibly confused by the different types of records, not really having a clue of what works together with what, what references what, what needs what, and what the variable input field inside each record do . I have asked the giant brain of the world which is google, and looked through documentation of xEdit and the Skyrim CK, and could not find anything comprehensive . Maybe I am blind . What I am not is stupid, really: I can and already did learn a LOT through simply looking at MODs in FO4Edit, but there are still SO many questions... Any pointer would be much appreciated .

Do you mean this Robot Home Defence or this Robot Guardians and Settlers ?
