Thank you Falro! :)

A lot of the info related to this installation is dated, relates to Windows 7, and I'm struggling to navigate the enbdev.com site. Anyone have a simple walkthrough with updated links on how to get this installed? I can't tell if the file I'm looking at on the site is an ENB or just the ENBoost requirement. http://enbdev.com/mod_tesskyrim_v0314.htm Can I not simply install with NMM as the option is available right on the page? >> http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/73618/? Please understand, I've never installed or used an ENB, just want to get ENBoost installed and properly set for Beyond Skyrim Bruma. Thank you for your help in advance!

Hahaha! Best role Stephen King ever played. ;)

Reporting back - I edited the ini file, and upon entering Goodneighbor, instant CTD. So I reverted back to the duplicate ini file, once again, CTD. So I started a new game, created character, then loaded the other save again. Worked for a bit, then froze. Finally went to the save I had just prior to that one, (had to do a quest over) but that one let me progress through to get as a follower. Whatever it was, I've had aforementioned follower since, went into Vault 81 and have been able to do those quests no problem. Haven't seen any grass floating around either. Seems if I just steer clear of Goodneighbor altogether I'm good. Ugh this is baffling. Not sure what worked here, but just happy I'm able to do something. Thanks again for the tip. :)

Awesome! Thanks! I feel like this grass thing happens occasionally with every Bethesda game, and I think this is what I did as a fix in Skyrim. Thank you so much! Giving it a shot, I'll report my findings.

Once again, another bug (possibly unrelated) starting in Goodneighbor. After a saucy night with and there's grass hovering everywhere. Now it seems each interior I enter there's grass everywhere. Each quest so far related to Whitechapel Charlie & Hancock there's grass floating about, and this bug just started happening. I remember it happening in Skyrim as well and there was some kind of console fix for it, the grass procedurally generating or something. Here's some screens, and my load order. Any help appreciated.

That was it! Ugh how embarrassing! My stupid brain must have cross referenced the institute power armor and imagined up something that didn't exist.

I saw it briefly in a YouTube vid and forgot what it was. Best way I can describe it, the head part is very rectangular and it looked like it had teeth. I thought it was institute power armor at first (kinda boxy with holes in it), but that's not it. It had an almost robotic-canine-like appearance.

Try this: If you use NMM, don't open it yet. Instead open Fallout 4 without NMM so you can access the settings menu. In the first screen, check windowed and borderless. Then go up to resolution and select whatever your screen resolution is. You really can't tell the difference in this mode, it's just like fullscreen. Antialiasing mode - OFF Anisotropic Filtering - OFF Click on advanced, turn OFF godrays, ambient occlusion and weapon debris. Click ok, then exit. Now start the game using NMM. Should have less chance of freezing. At least, that's what is working for me right now.

Hey everyone, I had been experiencing game freezes to which CTRL+ALT+DEL wouldn't even work, the only option was a hard reboot. Seemed to happen in cities like Concord, Lexington and especially Boston Common. I chalked it up to the BoS flying around and fighting in the major areas as too much for my rig to handle, but it appears that may or may not be the case. Here's what I did that let me continue for 3 hours so far without any freezes. I realize this may not work for everyone but I wanted to share in the hopes this might help some of you, maybe I can finally contribute something to help instead of asking this time around. If you use NMM, don't open it yet. Instead open Fallout 4 without NMM so you can access the settings menu. In the first screen, check windowed and borderless. Then go up to resolution and select whatever your screen resolution is. You really can't tell the difference in this mode, it's just like fullscreen. Antialiasing mode - OFF Anisotropic Filtering - OFF Click on advanced, turn OFF godrays, ambient occlusion and weapon debris. Click ok, then exit. Now start the game using NMM. Should have less chance of freezing. At least, that's what is working for me right now. For some reason godrays may switch itself back to LOW, and I'm not sure why that's happening for me, but I was able to do the Freedom Trail quest beginning now where it was nothing but total freeze before. Hope this helps.

Actually if you see my first post in this thread, I've been playing it totally vanilla. I've uninstalled, re-installed, verified cache, etc. I'm pretty sure if the game isn't working as advertised and my specs meet the requirements, that Bethesda is to blame. If Bethesda expects all of us to become debuggers on each release they obviously need to make that clear. I'm not the only one suffering from these issues just trying to run the base game with their DLCs. And it was actually worse without the unofficial patch - and I don't mess with ENBs at all. At least not with Fallout 4. It seems all this that you're suggesting shouldn't be necessary to just play the basic game. The advice is appreciated, don't get me wrong, my point here is that this is a lot of information that people aren't going to know just buying and playing the game, and if in fact that's the only way to get it running properly, surely a disclaimer from Bethesda or some built in notes would be nice.

I haven't updated the latest Nvidia driver yet since the game (was) working fine. But I'm having the same issues. Just got to The Glowing Sea quest, been doing Nuka World as well and have unlocked about 7 settlements. Now when I'm walking through Concord or Lexington I'll encounter random freezes in which I'll have to completely reboot my system. It feels like the further I get in this game, the worse the problems become. Starting a new game I usually have no issues (except the Goodneighbor bug where I have to start a new game and jump back to that save) and everything will seem to work fine until then. I'm about at my wits end with this game. I love it almost too much to give up on it - but hell, I don't even remember encountering this many issues with Skyrim. I know, completely different animal we're talking, but still.

My thought too - but no. They vanished. There was only one character save. Not that it was a big deal, but now it seems even creating a new character, it will hold one and the previous will vanish. Even selecting character just the one shows up. :|

I guess I should specify also that I say "forever loading" because I actually went to sleep last night while it was loading and woke up to the same screen - still cycling through slides and tips. That was about 7.5 hours. This is the ONLY time it does this. Every other place loads without a problem. Even Nuka World which I imagine should be WAY more intensive on the machine. It will load for about a minute, and when my PC activity light stops blinking it is pretty clear nothing is going to happen. Trust me, I can be very patient when it comes to this game, but 7.5 hours? I seriously doubt anything is going to happen after that. Also, since posting this, I've reinstalled F4 and restarted my playthrough twice now with the same issue. It's really becoming irritating because I cannot finish the main quest until I get into this stupid little cell. I want to try the "coc" thing, but if it's only going to cause further issues that's a concern. I'm going to try the old trick again, I'm sure it will work, but hoping sometime in the future Bethesda will address this issue.

I'm currently using a mod that expands the build limit 3x on settlements using a "bat settlement" command, but it really doesn't seem to be enough. Any mod suggestions that would help? My main concern is save files overbloating from it, but I don't know enough about mods to know if that will be an issue. Any help is appreciated! :)
