Mate, on your "dashboard" tab at the top left of Vortex - you have an option in the middle called "Add Tool" - open that then navigate to your game folder where you keep the script extender and make that your target. Name it as you please but something relevant will help - run it from the folder it's in unless there is some bizarre reason not to then save - the tool will now join the group to the left of the "Add Tool" button - where if you click on the three vertical dots you have the choice to make it the "MAIN" - which means it takes it's place as your main icon in the top left of screen for easier and obvious access. Deep breath, take your time - you'll manage no problem. JaYmZeE

God man - I know this feeling - You are not alone and I've got geniuses helping me fix my game - I'm lucky in that respect and yet still - I'm about to jump ship not because I'm bored with Fallout 4 - but I just can't handle the never ending cycle of not working despite me not being responsible for the need to change. I feel you brother! JaYmZeE

LMAO - because unless your fascinsted by how many plants you've picked or bits of armor you've made you'll have missed the page in your PIP-Thingy. I'm pretty sure there are stats for "HOURS SLEPT", "HOURS WAITED", "HOURS WAITED WHILST SITTING ON A BENCH", "THINGIES KILLED USING MIND BULLETS" (TENACIOUS-D RULE) In survival mode, there's stats there for how many times you've missed the potty and one for how many times you've successfully stopped Dogmeat humping your leg...... Personally, I think the stats in Football Manager are much more interesting. :cool:

D&D Man - most of my childhood and I'm not admitting when I stopped - say I started at 8 and ended 13 or so years later.......... Wouldn't change a minute of it........

I am reading this and I'm many things of which beautiful is not one of them - still, you've cheered me up so much I'd just like to add my own 2 bobs worth all though the advice above is 100% sound. My first week with Vortex was a goddam nightmare - I had a semi-broken game of Fallout 4 installed by NMM so decided to switch. Vortex needs to be watched very carefully after install to make sure it's doing what you think it is. I trust it now, but I had to completely uninstall my first attempt at a new FO4 game because it couldn't cope with changes I was making with tools ran from within Vortex (How much of this is to do with my decision to install on my J drive where my games are and not the C as recommended I simply do not know) What I do know is the button that says install from file will install from an external location but it does not create a copy in your downloads folder and when you uninstall that mod it's gone for good unless you have the original - Keep that in mind. Personally, I'd suggest deploying after every change, as annoying as it can be - checking that it's done as you expected for as long as you can stomach it - I trust it now, I actually am growing to love it but that took another 2 weeks after the original disaster. Don't go near it first time if your tired - this is something you do when fresh and alert - seriously! Rather than bore you with other stuff - take your time - but I'm now running FO4 better than it has ever ran before with 350 mods, 250 esps and esms. 40 esls at least - I had a mod installed before "Improved BOS" - via NMM, but all I got from that was all BOS members in grey T-60 power armor - (AND YES I INSTALLED IT IN A FRESH GAME BEFORE THE BOS ARRIVED!) - now I'm getting to enjoy the real Improved BOS mod, with all the variety etc that advertised in the mod - it's not the only one. When I finished uninstalling EVERYTHING in NMM - I still had 12.7GB worth of files in the FOLDERS within DATA alone - no ESP's or ESM's - just random texture/meshes, scripts - which kinda explains why things didn't work so well - Never tempt fate with a game that's running beautifully - but I promise you - when your ready for your next install of whatever - Vortex is the way to go - just handle with care.

Oh I do love this subject. My first games were the Original Football Manager, 1982-4 - Then things like Chuckie Egg and School Dayz, I moved on to Championship Manager on my Amiga, Laser Squad, The original XCOM, Civilization, Settlers by which point I was in my 20's. I remember playing "Daggerfall" and being amazed at topless woman in a game - I mean barely recognizable as topless women, but topless women all the same. Since the good old days we've now reached a point (well we reached it a while ago) where humans now look pretty human in games - were long passed the point of my going a female character in Daggerfall because I could run about naked and think it was funny as..... Simply put - sex mods were always gonna follow suit - I have sex mods in my games and have done since discovering Animated Prostitution for Skyrim - I was so excited when I found that and got it working, I phoned half my mates and they all came up and we laughed at being able to score with the Jarl of Solitude - proper sex animations - hillarious. There was a youtube clip that came out by some guys taking the michael out of That twat who was Jarl of Windhelm, you know, the "LEGENDS DON'T BURN DOWN VILLAGES" guy - watching him running about having sex with all the argonians and various other Skyrim species that he hates so much. I could barely stop laughing, you hear one of the guys responsible for making it in the background saying, "What the f*** are we doing?" and that just made me worse - stitches for hours. Anyway - I love having a degree of sex in my games because if I was a superhero or looked like Brad Pitt or could slay dragons, I'd expect to score with far more frequency than I do in real life, so as an extention of being able to slay dragons, my character could also score for saving the day - much better than scoring because you brought your wife home a bottle of wine and that's the only way to get any these days don't ya think? Human beings being human - I personally think games are worse if sex is taken out, and it should only be a small part of any game (unless your actually playing a sex game - that's different) - but here we are in a post apocalyptic wasteland where societies rules are apparently gone, pickpocket the wrong man and you shall pay with your life and no one bats an eyelid, start mentioning sex though and some people who'll happily tell you how they butchered this raider in horrific fashion and they get touchy..... for these people, their only hope is that the can actually think or someone can explain it too them. Honestly, I could go on for hours about the hypocracy concerning some of the things that are taboo and that are not - I could lecture for days - but I won't I'll answer the question asked at the start of this post..... Why are there so many sex mods? Because - this game has been out for 3 years - almost all the simpler mods are done - the complicated ones, are few and far between because of the sheer effort/time/love that larger mod authors put into their work - which leaves sex and the creators desire to create as beautiful a simulated creature as they can - for whatever reason. People who do sick stuff in games, never lift a hand to people in real life - most of us fully understand the difference between fantasy and reality and have ZERO issues keeping them seperate. We have a few that do not, but violent/sex mods aren't going to be what them what they are. The rest of humanity is weird and curious - Games are the perfect place to play out that curiousity and weirdness - harming no one and nothing. Life - no matter what you may get told is so f'ing hard - as long as you do not physically or psychologically harm others in the process of whatever you happen to do to be able to deal with the hell your surrounded by on a daily basis - Fair game if you ask me. For those psychologically harmed by the thought of darkness within humanity - I suggest a lifelong quest to find a sense of humour or a thicker layer of skin. JaYmZeE

I can offer you little help - what I will say is other than having it "OUR WAY OR THE HIGH WAY" shoved down your throat with Vortex + the fact that your likely to have a few minor disasters to complete planet destroying meteors during your first experiences and life with it - it actually turns out to be a pretty good piece of software, and whilst I got a lot of help from Thuggysmurf fixing my broken game, Vortex has played it's part too - without question...... My advice - back EVERYTHING UP - sorry maybe a bit late for you - DEPLOY after every change - and ensure that after the changes it says are made are actually made - treat it like a toddler with a firework (Vortex = Child, Firework = Your Game) - bad analagy but about perfect at the same time - I suffered horribly for the first week of use, until I examined everything it did and why it was doing it - there is a degree of interpretation within some of the tools and the human mind - master that and it's a damn good piece of software and will be great when done. My only real complaint - and I could be outta order - I do feel that some of the feedback given is treated as criticism when that's not what it was supposed to be........... Anyway - it's a bit complex in my opinion to be THE basic community tool - I mean if I hadn't had years of experience with NMM and MO2, I'd of ran for the hills and asked for a console for Xmas - but hey ho - I do love it now though to be honest....

Hiya folkes, Firstly, I have absoloutely NOTHING to do with FO4Edit or the team that develope it - I'm merely an average user - but I've been using some form of this tool since FO3 for MERGED patches that literally saved what was otherwise an unplayable game.... since then I've used it for all sorts, conflict resolution, mod cleaning, sorting masters etc etc etc. Anyone who's been using the BETA's over the last few months will know that the tool is now moving forward in LEAPS and BOUNDS - if you haven't used a more recent version - the release of Version 4 is the time to do it.... me I've been using every beta as it came out and the tool is now like the tool but on Jet or X-CELL or some SPEED potion - whatever - it's basic functions are the same but everything else is better..... Reference files are built once so now you have way faster loading times after the first time it's sees a mod, handy tools like being able to sort the mods alphabetically, rather than trying to scroll down a list to spot a mod in a list of hundreds, cleaning mods all at once if you like - on my decent machine - I can clean 250 plug-ins in less than 5 minutes - sorting mod masters into order takes seconds for your entire load list - load em all at once - sort - done - people who know and understand the real stuff can do a far better job of this than me - but sorry, I'll have to do just now..... This tool has been intergral to modding for so many of us for so long - the man is making massive strides - who knows where he could go with this tool - but I believe he has the skills, the talents to make this a time saving/game saving and improving tool beyond what we've even conceived of so far (I MEAN HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT SOME OF THE SCRIPTS - HOLY BATFLAPS BATMAN!) If you can help the whole community out by becoming a Patreon of any size - please do - for all of us! PLEASE DON'T TELL ME I'VE BROKEN SOME RULE BY DOING THIS - I REALLY AM DOING MY BEST TO BEHAVE! Love and Peace! JaYmZeE https://www.patreon.com/ElminsterAU https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2737

I'd wholeheartedly like to agree with the above post... Plus - "Idiocracy" is a cracking movie - purely for the basic premise of the film if for nothing else. It is not just America that has lost it's way - it, as per usual, is the world leader on this front but here in the UK we're almost as bad - Trump being the main reason I'd separate us - if the USA ousts him in the next election or if we elect Boris Johnson then it'll be all square..... No chance of us going back to the Moon anytime soon - there isn't any money in it - we used to do things, "not because they are easy but because they are hard" - no more - mankind is stagnating and the impending arrival of super-intelligent AI may well be the end we deserve (I firmly believe AI will see us as we see ants in their ant hill if we're building a road - the ant hill gets destroyed - we don't hate ants, we're just building a road) Most political theory looks good on paper - Capitalism looks good on paper - and it failed completely a decade ago.........

Your welcome - just glad it worked out for you! JaYmZeE

It's a long time since I played New Vegas and I don't currently have it installed so I can only suggest going and getting NVSE from http://nvse.silverlock.org/ Install it using the following instructions included in the download 1. Copy the .dll and .exe files to your Fallout NV directory. This is usually in your Program Files folder under Steam\SteamApps\common\fallout new vegas\. If you see files named FalloutNV.exe and FalloutNVLauncher.exe, this is the correct folder. Do not copy these files to the Data folder as with a normal mod. and then try launching it using "nvse_loader.exe" and see what happens. I never run anything directly from NMM these days - I'm still using it as my mod manager and use it to download and install/uninstall mods, but I run all associated programs - like bodyslide from icons in my taskbar - just personal preference. Worth a try. EDIT - Also - are you running the latest version of NMM - the version on the nexus being outdated - you can get the latest version here... https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Nexus-Mod-Manager/releases JaYmZeE P.S. I always keep my NMM install and all the mods I download on the same drive as the games. I've read in multiple places that doing otherwise can cause a variety of issues - may be worth keeping this in mind moving forward as well.

I'm a massive fan of the modder Belthan and his work from Fallout 3, Quo Vagis and the sequel Coito Ergo Sum. Two of the best mods I've ever had the good fortune to play. What follows is purely what I've read - I am not claiming to have inside information and other than the occasional post I do not know Belthan in anyway. From what I can tell, he originally planned to make it a trilogy with the development if "Vidi, Vici, Veni" for Fallout 4 but after deciding that there are issues with Fallout 4 he can't reconcile the project was cancelled. However on the Quo Vagis post pages he sticky'd the following.... https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/19305?tab=posts&BH=1 "So here's the thing. I hate Fallout 4. I replayed it multiple times because I wanted it to be great, but the more I played the less I liked it. I've attempted to explain why in previous posts, and others have enumerated the flaws much more eloquently than I ever did, but it boils down to a matter of personal preference. At this point, don't try to convince me that I should like it, and I won't try to convince you that you shouldn't. I got physically sick just loading the game to test the handful of mods I made for it. I don't want to disappoint fans of Quo Vagis and Coito Ergo Sum, but I can't continue to compromise my health. I uninstalled the game and the CK. So, if Vidi, Vici, Veni is going to get made, it will have to be made by someone other than me. Hence, I'm looking for volunteers. What I will do: Serve as creative consultant for the mod Provide plot outline for main quests and all of my notes on backstory of Lolipopz and associated NPCs Write dialogue for principal characters Record voice actors who are in geographic proximity to my studio (including Jeff and Krista) What I can't do Anything that requires the game or CK" Essentially, he's been good enough to offer a massive amount of support - he just won't make the mod himself. At least that's how things stood in November last year - I've no idea if this is still the case. I'd love to take the project on, but quite frankly a mod of this scope is completely out of range of my abilities as a modder. I'm fine with background stuff but anything that has anything to do with being creative or being able to work with anything but the simplest of actions in the render window is beyond me. Seriously - artistically I struggle with stick men and if you saw some of the abominations I've created in Bodyslide/outfit studio you'd be entitled to consider me mentally challenged. I struggle to even conceive or visualize what it is I'm trying to create, never mind being able to actually create it. I understand the theory of the process - I'm just incapable of putting the theory into practice. I can and would be willing to help with anyone with the genuine skills and know how to take this project on. I love Fallout 4 despite it's flaws - flaws of which so many of which have been so skillfully corrected by modders, I think of UF4P, Transfer Settlements (and CLAW for his awesome blueprints), Sim Settlements, Armor & Weaponsmith, The team behind Fusion City, Dr Nicks, O&R and now the brilliant Project Valkyrie, Worsin's WIPAG, Vivid Fallout, Heather Casdins creator and so many more. (I really do miss "Don't call me settler" - you don't realise how much you love something till it's gone....) My point being - Fallout 4's biggest flaw for me at this stage is the absence of Lolipopz, Larry and "Vidi Vici Veni". In lieu of the unlikely event of Belthan changing his mind - is there anybody out there who would consider taking this on? I live in hope! JaYmZeE

Are you running Bodyslide as an Administrator?

In the immortal words of Eminem. You find me offensive, I find you offensive For finding me offensive Hence, if I should draw the line on any fences If so to what extent If at any should I go 'Cause it's getting expensive Being on the other side of the courtroom on the defensive They say I cause extensive Psychological nerve damage to the brain when I go to lengths this, Far at other peoples' expenses I say you're all just too goddamn sensitive It's censorship And it's down right blasphemous" Essentially restricting debate is an oxymoron - it also hamstrings any chance of whatever the debate is about being resolved. You know - YOU ARE FREE, to do what we tell you.......

I've been gaming for about 35 years now - I'll be 44 on my next birthday and am only making this post because FO4 just ctd and I wanted a break for 5 minutes to have something to eat and make a cup of coffee. "Time you enjoy wasting, isn't wasted time". Quick quips and cliches aside - I believe we get one chance at life - I don't think I'm coming back as a turtle, moving on to a higher place of existence, spending an eternity in hell for sinning etc etc etc. I'm of above average intelligence, but in no way exceptional - I am not capable of achieving anything that is going to change the world - I'm never going to be remembered like Einstein or Hawking or Galileo or Socrates or Curie or Emmeline Pankhurst or even people like Genghis Khan or Donald Trump - I suppose I could become infamous if I really desired but I've no interest in hurting people so in 100 years time NO ONE is going to remember me or a damn thing I've done. My memory will not live on and whilst some people may hate this idea - I find it both liberating and comforting. If I was capable of genuine greatness and was wasting my life by playing games and essentially denying the future of our race and planet something "game changing" (pun intended) , then I think I would be deserving of criticism. Modern day life on this planet for 99% of the population is hard and largely tedious and repetitive - I know things are relative and that there are people far worse of than me - but I've tried life as current society programmed me to believe is right and found it to be a bad joke - my prime directive currently consists of.... 1) Have a much fun as possible between now and death (This involves a variety of activities among which playing video games is a significant percentage) 2) Do my best not to hurt others 3) Be as open and as honest as circumstances allow 4) Completely disregard ridiculous, hypocritical and unproductive rules and laws that are there for the sole purpose of halting human and societal evolution in it's tracks. I respect anyone who thinks for themselves and shapes their lives to their own needs - as long as it doesn't negatively impact on others. I'm not talking about other people perceiving your actions as affecting them negatively - I mean actually affecting them negatively - there is a huge spectrum of variance between the two! Honestly folkes - have fun before it's too late. JaYmZeE EDIT - Oh yeah - it's not easy - but really work at not giving a damn about what others think of you - you spend your life worrying about how others perceive you - if you change because of these anxieties and your gonna be miserable you whole life - well F*** that - they're just people too, like me, what the hell do they know?
