Hi everyone, I recently re-installed FO4 and have been modding it with MO2. It's gone well but for some reason that I can't figure out none of the fog removal or lighting fixes will work, in any combination or order. The fog and lighting mods I've tried: - Remove Interior Fog - Interiors Enhanced - Dynamic Interior Fog Removal - Fog Remover (Performance Enhancer II) - Enhanced Lights & FX - Fr4nsson's Light Tweaks Some of these I used in a previous playthrough a few years ago. They worked and they were essential - I'm really struggling to play the interiors without fog removed, which I find so ugly. I don't know what I'm doing differently, other than using MO2 this time instead of NMM as my mod manager. I'm on the latest version of FO4 but I do not have any DLC installed. I've tried to use only mods or mod versions intended for use with vanilla. If anyone can help I'd be incredibly grateful.

What's interesting is that I can spend hours in Sanctuary messing around with the settlement and not have any freezing or CTD. As soon as I get out into the world though it's a different story. I was having freezing whenever I approached Drumlin Diner, disabling Better Settlers seemed to fix it. But then about 30 minutes later in Lexington I was doing fine, then suddenly got two 2-3 second freezes, then the game CTD. I think you guys might be right that it's graphics related mods. I've turned off some of the heavy ones and will keep playing to see what happens. I also followed some of the .ini tweaks for FO4 (which I also had to do with FO3) which might help the game handle the higher textures better. I've been in Sanctuary mostly since doing that, trying out some of the building mods, so I don't know if it's actually helped yet.

I've been modding FO4 for a while now and I'm pretty happy with where I'm at, the only problem is that I'm experiencing some frame rate lag (the game will pause for a second or two) and pretty frequent CTD (about once every 30 minutes). I've used LOOT to try and auto sort my load order but it hasn't helped. I can't get to the bottom of what's causing it. I've been turning mods off to see if I can find the culprit, the problem with that is that I have to play the game for a bit to see if it will eventually crash so it's taking forever. I came here once for some similar issues with FO3 and thanks to some very helpful folks was able to get the game stable, hoping for some similar advice with FO4 :smile: I don't own any DLC so I've tried to make sure all my mods do not require DLC. In some cases the mods did require DLC so I installed earlier versions that do not (like Companion Morph for example). Active mods and their load order are below. Maybe someone sees a conflict they know of or a mod that that they know is not stable? Thanks all.

I also discovered that I was using DarnUIv2 and not v4 which fixes this very issue. Nvm, hope maybe this helps someone else using an older version without realizing it.

I've discovered that DarnifiedUI and an Xbox controller don't seem to like each other too much. With the controller on, when I'm in the pipboy none of the button prompts show up, which wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't have a terrible memory and can't remember half the time what buttons to press to do certain less-than-common actions. Has anyone encountered this and/or discovered a fix?

First make sure you have anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering and water displacement turned off in the FNV settings. If that's not it when you're in the game press Enter+Shift, it will bring up the in-game ENB menu. Try turning off ambient occlusion and transparency bug fix.

I tried forcing AO using Nvidia Inspector (I have a GTX970) but it doesn't seem to work.

So this happens when I have ambient occlusion enabled using any ENB, in this case Dynamo. http://imgur.com/a/8Ngck Squares on the floor and sometimes a few other weird things. Turning it off fixes that issue but I quite like the deep shadows AO creates (see last two images). I'm aware that there is a way to force AO on FNV with hardware modding tools but it seems very complicated. Or is there a way to stop AO causing gfx weirdness? I seem to remember AO was a problem when I modded FO3 so I don't know if there's anything that can be done but perhaps I've missed something.

Okay I've actually narrowed it down now to DarnifiedUI which also uses the start_menu.xml file found in data/menus/options. If Darn overwrites that .xml then MCM won't work and will give the error about missing files etc. Without overwriting the MCM version of that .xml I still get an error, but it's one I can live with - now when I pause, the game tells me that DarnUI can't be found in the start menu and that it can't be used by MCM, which is fine. I don't know how I managed to get the two to be working without any conflict before, but this is as close to fixed as I've come in 2 days and I might just put up with it. At least they work.

I've tried turning off read-only but the problem with that is that it gets reset by Steam. Or, in other words, the Steam directory itself is read-only and so therefore will overwrite anything you try to do with permissions inside it. Steam is partly to blame here. I'm not sure if I have turned off UAC in Win8.1 so I will have to look into that next.

I'm getting the following error in the game's pause menu: The Mod Configuration Menu cannot access its menu files. Either the files are missing, or a firewall/UAC is preventing access. You may need to reinstall the mod, update your 32-bit Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package, or change your firewall/UAC settings. MCM was working fine before but ever since I installed Unified HUD Project to use with HUD Extended I think UHP has modified and/or deleted .xml files that are necessary for MCM. I've since uninstalled the HUD mods and reinstalled MCM but it still won't work. I've been all over these forums and while I've followed the suggestions of previous posts I'm still not having any luck. It's not the firewall or C++. Some of the .xml files (like instance_StartMenu.xml) that are referenced in old posts, I don't have! Perhaps because the HUD mods deleted them? I don't know, but it's all a bit of a mess now and I don't know what else to do other than to reinstall the entire game. Help!

Turns out it was the "Fix transparency bug" check box in my Midhrastic ENB settings. It's checked by default, ironically it actually causes a transparency bug apparently. Seems to be fine now. Thanks again for the help!

Here's my current load order. MMM is disabled but that's it. All I did was delete BGP and reorder the rest of the mods per your instructions. Like I said the game runs great now, the only thing left is that in specific locations like mansions the walls don't load in:

Do you have any idea why this is happening? Otherwise the game runs flawlessly now. But this happens still inside mansions and memorial sites. http://imgur.com/SiV95tC
