HeyYou

Does the game load if you tell it to ignore the error? If it does, just play.

Show me ONE honest politician. Just one. You won't be able to, because they are ALL indeed dishonest. They will tell you what they think you want to hear, then do whatever is best for THEM. All of them. Without exception. Maybe I am just jaded by the american political system, but, so far, no one has proven me wrong.

LOLOL. I hear ya there brother. :D There was more than one occasion where I was walking thru an area I thought I had cleared, only to be surprised by getting hit from behind by a couple ferals that were stashed away....... Might have a look at the perk in FO4Edit, and see if anything obvious presents itself for that. I tend to agree with you. If they are there, I would just as soon they come out and play. :D

If you trust ANY politician, you are delusional.

You can shoot them anyway..... They are still feral ghouls, they just won't attack you. (until you shoot them.... then they will. :) )

Isn't it an option in the in-game menu somewhere??

There are several that do that. I use HUD Framework, it highlight NPC's by friend/foe/dead status, but, only when sneaking, or, you have your weapon out. Works great. :D

Vortex isn't the problem. :) It's the number of mods you are trying to run. Just getting that number below the hard limit of 255 should solve the issue.

Is the game aware of what vid card you have? (generally, deleting the ini files in the My Games/Fallout4 folder will force it to re-detect video.) The 3080 should be able to run the game without even putting minor stress on the card...... :) If you aren't running a whole lotta mods.... I might be tempted to have your mod manager uninstall all of them, uninstall the game, make sure all pertinent folders are now gone/empty, then reinstall just the game, and see if things are better.

Is nora's face possible to sculpt without the nora companion mod? Also, simply uninstalling the game does not necessarily remove the mods you installed......

If it is just a single beep, that's the MB telling you it thinks everything is ok. Why it then shuts down is rather curious..... Does it actually shut off, or does it restart?

If you don't have the archives on your computer any more, then yeah, you will have to redownload them, and reinstall. If you actually still have the files you downloaded, just reinstall. (from the mods tab, click the + symbol, add from archive, then point it at the archive you want to install.)

How did you remove the mods?? Was that before, or after you started having troubles?

Did you permanently delete it? Or is it hanging out in your recycle bin?

Just go into the folder where they are stored, and nuke 'em from there. (File Explorer)

I think you would also need to tweak the amount of ammo NPC's had as well though. Most of the time, I am finding less than 10 rounds on folks that use guns. For the folks with automatic weapons, that is essentially one burst...... Not what I would consider 'immersive'.... :D

Look for the associated menu swf file. If you have a mod that changes it, that may be the problem. Simply disabling the mod may not remove the file from loading.... so, you still get the crash.

The alternative is starting a new game..... Do you have any mods that affect that specific area, or any NPC's that happen to be in it? Texture mods? Anything?

Any mods that affect turrets, or NPC ammo?

I do believe Homemaker has what you are looking for.

Those are base game items. You can occasionally find something interesting in them.

Seems to me, it could be done with a script..... But, I wouldn't have the first clue how to accomplish that. I think there are some settings for autosaves though, frequency being one, and how many to rotate thru being another...... I think.

So just bring up task manager, and on the processes tab, click on the CPU Usage column, to sort by that, and see what happens every couple minutes, if anything.

I think MO2 does odd things with ini files....... check settings in there.

Isn't there an ini setting to correct that though?? I seem to remember reading something about that....... (but, be darned if I can find it now....)
