With the Vortex system, most of the issues go away- or at least that's been my experience with it- so, if you haven't given it a try, you should do so. There's a problem with your proposal, however, and it's been covered before- so here's the highlight of it: Many modders would not get the credit they rightly deserve by 'shoving a bunch of existing mods from all categories in one big new Fallout' into a pack, for one, and how would that proposed payout get divided? This was a major issue not all that long ago, and I think the modders had the right of it; some of the mods take years of developmental time and it's all done at no cost to the players who choose this venue for their mods. It's also why so many good quality mods are, I'm told, no longer available. There's also some very good videos on how to set it all up, so take the time to research it; Lots of tips as to how to set up your load order, what mods don't work with others for various reasons, etc, and the Vortex system is good at spotting conflicts and helping you resolve them. Sorry to shoot down your idea, man- but I, and I think a lot of the community here, side with the creators on this.After all, would you want to pour your creativity for long periods of time into a project and not even get full credit for it? Not to mention someone else making bank on your work? The TL;DR version: Probably Ain't gonna happen.

Wait... You mean the Black and White Ant Races that all the stations showed when they supposedly went off the air for the night? Hey, those were great late night entertainment, man- although I think they were fixed; I mean, it seems like the white ones always won, but the black ones always gave 'em a run for it! :teehee: :rolleyes:

For me it's a newer mod, the N.A.I.L gun- that thing is perfect in multiple roles, as a room cleaner or just lighting up a bunch of Supermutants- especially if you perk it up to use explosive heads at 170 psi. Ammo is made at the chem bench( it uses RR spikes... in a nail gun... with explosive heads.... give that a minute to sink in,lol) but I'll usually back it up with the Saiga shotgun( solid slug), the WA-2000, and the Reaper handgun with the 2cm EM rounds. Working on a good loadout for all energy weps as I like the lightweight aspect of them.

A lot of good points, here, both pro and con. As for myself, well.... I'm a collector with packrat tendencies. I'll grab as many as I can even though I only use a few of 'em and I'll set them up at (usually) Starlight Drive in with a marquee sign, like 'Jalbert's Armor Sales', or 'Atom Cats', or 'Crazy Boris's Walking Junk-O-Rama'. I will, however, go for the mod items, like the construction armor, the X-02, the Midwestern, T-49 Storyteller's, even the I-01 Institute, just for the sake of the collection. I did mention the 'packrat' thing, right? The armor is too 'breakable', IMO- I mean, c'mon- this stuff is supposed to be front line gear? And any idiot with that aforementioned poolcue can damage it?? Yeah, not so much. Even if you work them all the way up to the Mk VI level, you're really gonna tell me that a Radscorp is going to pop a hole in it? Or that friggin' mosquito? Melee weps would be a vast improvement- as was mentioned, a PA scaled power fist would be lots of fun to use- but, the blacksmith perk can go a bit of the way to helping your desire to pound th' everlovin' dogsnot out of, say, a Behemoth. Fusion cores- ahh, yes, the Bane of the PA lover's world- but one mod in particular will give you the ability to recharge those rotten little batteries as needed and give you a TON more from captured suits- enough so that you can give every settlement a couple of gatling lasers for their occasional 'Raider Fry and Flambee' weekend. Sneaking? It's a whacking huge walking tank, almost a VOTOMS ( If anyone know about 'em); Sneaking ain't a real option. There are a few armor pieces that I've run across that'll help with the movement speed thing, and the Tesla set up is always good for giggles, but the thing is set up to" Kick it's way through Mirelurks" and generally punt one of those Fusion Fleas through some uprights- if any can be found, that is. And I'm really surprised that no one has ever come up with a 'football' mod for them.

See, that's why I mentioned the spiders- Skyrim's got 'em (What, they gots Union Rules against tech civs after the Big Boom? :teehee: ). I feel the devs missed a great visual, though: imagine the downtown skyscrapers having webs between 'em- maybe even the occasional vertibird caught, or maybe the random raider or gunner getting lasso'd for dinner... But, you really know you've been playing it far too long when you look at the first post and wonder how teleportation technology would change waste disposal of all kinds.

I tend to move around a lot, so where I decide to post up for a bit can depend on my mood, or general condition of my spleen. Early game, though, I set up the Red Rocket just outside Sanctuary so's I don't have to listen to Garvey's incessant B.S. about another settlement needs, etc and Marcy Long's continual griping (Best time ever in game? Being able to send the pair of 'em off to a prison in the Glowing Sea, Courtesy of the OAR mods happy lil' teleport gun- but I digress...) Later, it's Hangman's Alley, even more so after finding Battlebrother's 'Hangman's House' mod( https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/43261 ) as it saves resources for the settlement due to being in a different cell. In Far Harbor it's usually Dalton's Farm as the knoll right above the workshop can be very heavily fortified; Nothing gets even remotely close to my front door. In Nukaworld it's usually the Red Rocket. Never did much with Home Plate- until I found the re-release of the Aloot mod for it ( https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/44101 ); It's just too beautifully crafted not to use it, and the fact that you can set it up as a mini settlement is cool- that, and it's a great place to park Nick and Piper when you've moved on from them. Cait, too. There's more, too- I'm one of the ones who likes the building system and with the add ins from various mods- and a few neat tricks courtesy of " The Skooled Zone"- I can spend hours building, except when I run out of mats,lol

...When you notice that, while there are Scorpions, Roaches, Dragonflies, regular Flies and Mosquitoes- there are no Spiders...
