HeyYou

For Skyrim SE, and Fallout 4, I would suspect that the updates that beth puts out are what are causing your issues. Changing the exe file breaks the script extender. For fallout 3, NV, and Skyrim LE though...... They haven't been updated in quite some time, and *shouldn't* do that...... It's possible a windows update, or driver update breaks them, but, that's gonna be tough to nail down.

Any idea how Carla became an enemy? Was it only one settlement? That is just weird. Yeah, companions aren't the brightest bulbs in the chandelier. One of the reasons I avoid them like the plague. If I am by myself, EVERYONE ELSE is a target, don't have to worry about shooting friendlies. There aren't any. :D

Check out this thread over on steam. It talks about an ini setting, but, on casual inspection, I didn't find it. If you have the tweak tool mentioned, might make life easier.

Load up your mods in FO4Edit, and see what mods, if any, actually affect Kellogg.

According to theory, Scrap everything only breaks precombines in settlement areas, not the whole game. I think there is an optional switch to do the whole game, but, it has to be a deliberate act, and it comes with a warning that performance issues may ensue. :D

Tag it as "Adult Content".

Oh yeah! I LOVED "And STAY back!" That was awesome, and combined with the Pancor Jackhammer (modded in legacy weapon, essentially, and automatic shotgun) even deathclaws were easy. :D

The function key is configurable in bios. Some manufacturers have it 'on' by default, others, do not. Even so though, I would expect that the actual arrow keys on the keyboard do the arrow thing by default, and you have to press the FN key to get their alternate function......

Doesn't one of the bartenders (that wants to join the railroad) rent rooms?? (Bunker Hill.) And those rooms would be where exactly? At some point things need to coalesce - i.e. I have rooms for rent AND I have physical rooms to rent. Which brings us back to square 1 - does what I see make any sense? At Bunker Hill, what your are left to digest is it's a resupply /stopoff. There is no facilities for extended rest. I don't know. My character is an insomniac, and never sleeps. :D Certainly not in a rented bed......

I think EVERYONE is working for the institute..... Crows, traveling merchants, Mayor of DC. (who is a synth....) etc.

I believe that in this instance, if you give up, you lose EVERYTHING..... (which would make sense.... of course, I would expect raiders to just outright kill you, given the opportunity, same would go for any other faction that you have pissed off....) Though, it could be fun going back there, and reclaiming your equipment. (from their cold, dead bodies, of course. :) )

Got it fixed? That's all that matters. :D

SE Downloads??? This is the Fallout 4 forum, I wasn't aware of any "SE" version of the game.

Or a mod issue. What mods ya runnin'?

Happy to help. :D Let me know how it turns out. :) I don't spend a lot of time here, but, I kinda browse thru a few times a day. :D

I only shoot the stuff that shoots at me, or, tries to take a bite out of me. If they are not hostile, they are not targets. Crows, on the other hand..... I just LOVE the explody feathers thing when I hit 'em. They make for GREAT target practice, as they respawn fairly quickly, and there are usually four or more in a group. :D

You have to go to the Mod thread for questions, (the one on the mod page itself) the thread that shows on the forum side won't allow posting, as it screws up the formatting on the mods side. :D That said, I am not seeing anything about those in the mod thread, or any conflicts for that matter.... *Might* be safe to just ignore them.

Have a Dell computer by any chance? See if "Smartbyte" software is installed on it, if it is, uninstall it. (you don't need it, and it causes more issues than it solves.)

Yep, that be the one. The whole Visual C++ thing is baffling..... It really shouldn't put anything on the desktop, should all be in the downloads folder, or, in a temp directory, that gets nuked after installation...... Does it ask where you wanna put stuff when you fire off the installer? If so, just stash it somewhere in your downloads folder, and manually nuke it after installation completes.

I had issues with them in Morrowind, but, after that, I simply stopped using them... However, of late, in Skyrim, and FO4, I do tend to use them, but, only when necessary. (like, when I get killed, and it's been a while since my last hard save. :D)

"Another Settlement needs your help......" Bite your tongue. :D

I love those. They make great targets. Every playthrough, I make my 'targeting' missile launcher, just for them. :D The whole 'fire and forget' thing is awesome to watch. :D

Device Manager shows what hardware you have, and assorted driver information. Task Manager shows running processes. (right click on the task bar, left click on Task Manager in the context menu that comes up.) The startup tab can be really enlightening, especially if you are running one of the "big name" computers. They tend to install a LOT of bloatware, that really isn't necessary.

Hop 2 is terrible... are you on satellite?

Do you have the script extender and plugin preloader installed as well? Are you starting the game with F4SE_Loader?
