  1. Yes, that's what I was talking about. CC paid mods with this stuff. However, the CC is the only thing they ever change the engine for, so they will most certainly do it again. And if CC mods touch vanilla locations, then it will probably cause conflicts. And since you aren't supposed to be able to deactivate CC mods, I expect a lot of whining like "YOUR MOD BROKE MY GAME IT CONFLICTS WITH TEH CC!!1", too.

     

     

    The big question is, if it fiddles with your game files without buying and installing that crap.

     

    In any case, I have stored the exes, F4SE and all the relevant mods in case steam forces an update on me. I don't update if I can help it, but if the steam client updates it usually discards my settings and force feeds me a hit and run update of FO4. I tend to delete that CC bloatware anyway, since it takes hundreds of megabytes of valuable disk space for nothing.

  2. Supposedly it will add the F3 GNR location in some form. And also something about retaking Quincy, and some settlements? I see a shitload of mod conflicts incoming, and probably also some new engine-level hacks to make settlements work from within an ESL.

     

    I don't think they will add that kind of stuff under their own steam. No money to be made, after all. Probably some CC stuff that you will have to pay for.

  3.  

    Also, once again for anyone who is reading this:

     

    This guide is mainly geared towards anyone who does not have backups of their Fallout 4 game exe because they either forgot to or downloaded a fresh installation of the game.

     

    Yeah, I made it my business to store backups. I'd like to add that version dependent mods should also be stored in the same folder. Otherwise, and if the mod authors already updated without making older version available, nothing is gained by simply storing the exe.

     

    In my case F4SE, obviously, Looks Menu, AAF and MCM.

     

     

    Got it all stored and steam is advised to only update when the game is started. Which it isn't, far as steam is concerned, since I only use F4SE.

     

    So, great, more CC bloatware on the horizon.

  4.  

    What size is your power supply?

    not 100% sure, how do i find out, ??

     

    thanks everyone for the comments, i used a can of compressed air a couple of days ago, and it still crashes heaps, but the crashes have been less, so either it's a dust/ventilation problem or something similiar, i have a front fan on the tower, and one on back but the predator sense only see's the front one, how much would it cost to get another fan for it, maybe one on the side of the case, ??

     

    thanks again for the responses

     

     

    Your card isn't overheating, period. 60 to 65 isn't a temperature to be worried about. There's something else at the root of your problem.

  5.  

     

    it seems to work fine with most other games, but it just simply hates anything from bethesda, it constantly overheats, and throws me out constantly i have tried turning up the fan to full but it just doesnt make any difference, it will get to 60-65c and then boot me out, i know it's not a mod, it's the game, it's too resource heavy...

     

     

    How is 60 to 65 overheating? Mine gets up to the high 70ies without any problems. And I haven't got the strongest horse in the race with a 650 GTX.

     

    There has to be something else causing you to CTD.

  6.  

    So, yeah, my take is that this is an Idiocracy 2 scenario. Guy gets frozen, and wakes up in a world too stupid to even fix a wall when the garbage truck dumps garbage into their living room... yeah, I'm pretty sure I've seen that plot before :tongue:

     

    That's about the size of it. And that's why I said, you have to suspend disbelief at pretty much every step.

  7. America and China are moving closer to a war in real life over two issues Taiwan and economics. Lets just hope that Fallout 4 does not become a reality in our real world.

     

    Won't happen. At least not China vs USA over a trade disagreement. Having grown up in the middle of the cold war the Iron Curtain just 20 miles removed from my home, I've grown a pretty thick skin when it comes to the danger of nuclear confrontations. Too much to lose for both sides.

     

    As far as Fallout goes, you have to suspend disbelief in many instances. 200 years since the bombs fell and they can't even manufacture a set of clean cloths? Living in Shanties instead of solid houses, music stil the same old records from centuries ago and nothing resembling public order outside of small pockets of borderline civilization. No international travelling, but we still have Russians with a thick accent or an Irish Cait as a companion. Vegetation still rotten grass and trees, no green. If you look at places like the irradiated surrounding of chernobyl, everything's green an lush and also the fauna seems to prosper.

     

    True, we haven't seen the NCR territory or the main base of power of the BOS, but everything else just screams for suspending disbelief.

  8. Also, once again for anyone who is reading this:

  9. Prior to the release of fallout 4, the community was hoping Bethesda learned from Fallout NV's acclaim, which led to massive disappointment.

     

     

     

     

     

    Yeah, well, it's always a mistake to buy a ticket for the hype train. I knew nothing about it other than Bethesda doing another Fallout. So I knew what I was in for. A Bethesda game, filled with bugs, a lackluster story and a mostly unreactive environment. That's what I bargained for and that's what I got. I knew that mods would follow to take care of the glaring issues and so I didn't mind. But I'm not a Fallout lore aficionado, so I probably don't mind as much as others seem to mind.

  10.  

     

    CBBE SE has over 20k vertices, while CBBE FO4 has only 6k, this already means more than 3 times detailed, even not considering the better tweaked sliders of CBBE SE.

     

    CBBE FO4 has been updated in july. The original upload was in 2016. Apart from the fact that there's an abundance of texture mods and bodyslide presets using CBBE.

  11. Yes, well, that's a big IF. I mean, if Beth listened to what people were ACTUALLY asking for, we wouldn't have Fallout 76 :tongue:

     

    Well, I for one, don't have it. The first Bethesda game I didn't buy since Morrowind. That's the only way to make a corporation listen. I mean, if a considerable amount of people refrain to buy.

  12.  

     

    Any truth to these rumors or was this just a near mindless attempt to bypass the issue of gun control?

     

    Of course it's the latter. And it always comes as surely as an amen at the end of a prayer whenever there's a mass shooting. On an international level. It's easier to blame games than to blame the availability of guns.

     

    It also goes against science. Psychologists claim that there's no correlation between playing (violent) video games and real world violence. On the contrary, most hold the opinion that games have a cleansing effect on deep seated grudges. They're a vent to let of real life steam.

  13.  

    That seems a pretty epic fail to me right there.

     

    They way they went about it, certainly. The exposition is way to short to feel some kind of attachment. FO3,. another story based on aiding and saving family, handled it better.

     

    To tell the truth, I didn't jump the hype train before FO4 came out and didn't read much about the game, didn't watch trailers either. So I was convinced, I would be playing the infant and not a parent. Even in my first playthrough there was zero attachment.

  14. I still use the NMM comunity version. I'm using NMM for a decade or so and I know it inside out. No need to change to vortex and to learn how to use a new tool.

     

    https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Nexus-Mod-Manager/releases

     

    But try to post in english. Most people here don't speak German.

     

    Und nur, damit ich sicher bin, dass du es verstehst. Deinstalliere Vortex bevor du NMM installierst. Sonst wählt die Nexus-Website automatisch Vortex als Downloader.

  15. I usually don't update my game for this very reason. Bethesda opening up new cans of wirms without providing anything useful anymore.

     

    But now steam forced the update on me. It autoupdated itself and discarded my settings and downloaded the latest version of Fallout without me noticing.

     

    Now I got the good old Vault Tec bug again. I'm offering him a job, send him to Sanctuary where he already is and the next moment he comes back with his "yanking my chain" routine and stays unassignable.

  16. Creation Club is for modders who like to get paid $500 to sell their mod to Bethesda, so Bethesda can make THOUSANDS from it

    If the CC modders would realize that they're being ripped off, the CC updates would stop.

     

    That's not a one way street, you know. It's these modders being willing to sell out for a nominal fee and it's the ones buying the CC-crap. I guess it's mostly console players being hungry for any mod to come their way.

  17. That's why I don't update anymore. Turned off automatic updates on steam and only starting by using F4SE. One of their last updates shot down my game. I had to reinstall, fiddle with the inis and other settings to make it playable again. They're just installing CC-bloatware anyway, so I haven't got the least interest in what they provide.

  18. The biggest hit in performance is not from textures but from NPCs and as your save get older the more NPCs there are in the game.

     

     

    It stays pllayable even with old saves, fully populated settlements and lots of mods. Just don't expect it to run on ultra, with all the settings maxed out. The engine is old, although it has been overhauled and not the least bit comparable to games like BF1, with a different engine designed for an FPS and not a gaming experience with lots of interactions, locations and quests. What slows down the game the most are it's scripts. The more there are active at any given moment, the less processing power is available for other tasks, such as loading environments or NPCs. I'm using sim settlements at certain locations and it takes about ten to 20 seconds to load all the objects and people into the buffer. In this period of time, the game lags heavily, probably because almost everything is script based there. MSI afterburner shows my GPUs performance dropping to 324 MHZ during this loading phase to go up to it's full abilities afterwards.

  19. Well, going by the specs you posted, your PC is even weaker than mine. Don't expect to run the game on ultra or high with that kind of equipment. Stuttering in certain regions is entirely normal. Maybe not with high end equipment, but with that kind of specs it is to be expected. The card needs some time to buffer the environment.

  20. I do not count mods when judging a game. Though even with mods the game is still boring and lacks nost if thd fallout feel

     

    If it wasn't for mods, I would have given Bethesda the boot long time ago. Since Morrowind they didn't publish any game that wasn't cringeworthy in it's vanilla state in my book. Fot me quality ended already with Oblivion, which was the last game ever, I preordered, in the vain hope, it would be Morrowind enhanced. Wellt, it wasn't. I don't buy Bethesda games in hopes of getting an exciting game experience, but in hopes of the modders to take care of the issues.
