HeyYou

4 Terrabyte HDD?? I suspect that may be part of your problem..... Generally, the bigger the drive, the slower they are. Unless it's a 15000 RPM drive..... I have also seen that kind of behavior on drives that the cache is having issues..... One of the reasons I went to solid state drives for my games.

Climate most certainly plays a role. Extreme temps, heavy humidity, etc, all exacerbate any underlying lung issues you may have. I have been a smoker for most of my life. I smoke a lot less now in my later years.... but, still around half a pack a day or so. I roll my own, (loose tobacco, pre-made tubes with filters, and a little machine) so it's a LOT cheaper than buying 'real' cigarettes.... just less convenient. (which also contributes to me smoking less.....) It's the last vice I have left... I don't drink, I don't do drugs, and I don't carouse with disreputable women..... etc.... so, I smoke. :D On REALLY cold days, I don't smoke much at all. Mainly because the cold air combined with the smoke, REALLY does a number on my lungs. I don't smoke in my house, as my wife has breathing issues all her own, and smoking one in the house would really screw her up..... I can't smoke inside at work either..... So, outside I go. The really hot/humid days...... also do a number on me.... not so much related to the smoking though, I also have MS, so, temp extremes really mess with me in any event. I am sure smoking doesn't help. :D

Pretty sure there was a mod that allowed you to fast travel FROM an interior cell.... not sure I have ever seen one that allows you to travel TO an interior cell though. (unless it's an interior that acts like an exterior???) Isn't there a setting in one of the cell info windows to Allow Fast Travel?? Or some such?

Hhhmmm.... I use scrap everything, and don't have any performance issues in those areas. Oddly enough, I get weird visuals in places that Scrap everything doesn't even touch....... I would REALLY love to understand that one. (and that is in INTERIOR cells......)

Your hardware should be more than adequate to the task, but, how much system RAM do you have? Might try opening up performance monitor, leave it running, play for a bit, and when the game starts to lag, exit out, and have a look at the graphs, to see where the basic problem is. (filling up ram, maxing the cpu, hdd activity, etc. I *think* win 10 pro will also monitor GPU memory as well.)

Scrap everything only breaks precombine in settlement areas. Outside of those, it doesn't touch 'em. Gotta be careful on install, on which options you select though.

Don't use ANY manager to install OBSE. Just drag and drop the required files into the correct folder. Create a shortcut to OBSE_Loader on your desktop, and start the game from there.

I work at a local computer shop, and we have been selling video cards on EBAY for absolutely stupid money. That is, when we can even get them...... The new versions that came out today are the Limited Hash Rate fellers, so, supposedly, aren't good for crypto-currency mining. Last time NVidia tried that, the drivers were hacked in short order, and they worked fabulously for mining. We'll see if the same holds true for the LHR cards.... It's supposedly a new chip, so, maybe, maybe not. Still and all, there are a LOT of gamers out here that have been waiting to get one of the new 30 series cards.... we have a waiting list for them at work.... and folks calling just about every day to see if we have them, when we might get them, and can you put me on the list as well?? :D I suspect it's gonna take some time for supply to catch up with demand.

Can you load an earlier save?

I think that is NotePAD++ :smile: I keep mine locked in a box, in a closet, in my bedroom. That way, I always know where it is........ I think....... Well, maybe.....

The uninstaller doesn't remove everything..... And if you are using a mod manager, you need to uninstall all your mods via that, before uninstalling the game, else the hard links remain... and the game thinks you still have mods in there.

Does it crash before you get to the main menu?

We have them for sale at work...... AMD Ryzen 5, Nvidia 3070..... around 1950.00, with windows 10 installed. :D

this Almost worked for me. got the wb back and operational. oh good.... but it calls itself/identifies as 'Mahkra settlement' , SO it is a very lonely place as nobody will come, now ss2 city plans ...Nope.. but i have private settlement to my self. cool but not what i wanted. any help with 're-identifying' the settlement? tried a minor move and reposition, resetting/completing quest, leaving for a couple days game time....nothing helps... that I know of. i know this is an OLD post but ... HELP Try the FO4Edit solution, and delete the reference from the mod that accidentally moved it. That *should* take care of it.

True. You could find the transmitter tower, I suppose, just with your pipboy...... But, as the institute doesn't have a physical entrance........ Still not going to find your way inside. :D

I think the Fallout 4 Launcher has a link to the CK??

Try removing the better locational damage stuff. See if that makes a difference.

FOSE has some memory fixes in it, as does ENB. Not sure if running both helps or not.... but, that's what I do. My game is pretty stable. It's just other mods that make it crash. Updating, or, in some cases, rolling back, those mods, and I can play for hours without a hiccup.

point to note - if a mod hasn't been updated for a while, it only indicates the mod is - to all intents and purposes - stable. you should check the mod page and if you see many unanswered posts reporting bugs - avoid it - but mcm is as stable today as it was a year ago. Yep. MCM has been around for quite some time, and the original version (Oblivion??) worked out most of the kinks. Later games, development time wasn't nearly as long.

You could trace where the signal was coming FROM, but, so long as the institute is receive only, couldn't find 'em that way.

Is it possible to change the crops a settlement grows?? Don't think I have ever tried that. :D

I think that is NotePAD++ :)

No worries. :D

Would it be possible to remove stuff by what slot they occupy? I am not real familiar with the system, so, don't know if armor is considered some clothing..... (but, you can wear armor with clothing.... so, gotta be some difference there.) Simply unequipping certain items when you step in, storing what they were in some variable, then restoring when you step out. (or, make folks re-equip it when the step out....) Should be able to wear clothes, glasses, bandana.... even in power armor..... but, armor, hats, helmets, etc, would have to come off.

You want MCM as well, but, that requires FOSE (script extender). That gives you the option to customize PANPC, at the very minimum, and there are a LOT of settings in there you can tweak. (I bumped up the number of extra npcs/monsters, and their level. :) I LOVE that mod.) As for what else in the way of mods.... That is a matter of personal taste. There are a LOT of mods out there that addthings to the workshop, so you can build them, weapon mods, gameplay mods, and that is just barely scratching the surface. :D
