HeyYou

Are they there, and just invisible? Or are they simply not there at all?

Start with the sim settlements mob of mods, and maybe consider adding Conquest. :) Mods are such a matter of personal taste. What you install, depends on what you are looking for from the game. There are a LOT of cool settlement mods. Including thousands of new items, new building sets, and just about anything else you can think of. Browse thru, see what works for you. :)

This should be in the Vortex support forums. :D

And they are free to behave that way, just like some of the other guys are free to be left-wing, socialist rags.

My point is, we do indeed have a "Free" press, however, I never said they were useful. :D

I take it you used the utility to create the file? If so, the program apparently doesn't place it in the correct spot, it puts it in D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\F4SE. If it isn't there, might try searching your drives for the customcontrolmap.txt, and then copy it to the right spot yourself.

Update your video drivers?

The conglomerates are free to print whatever they care to. The government does not dictate what stories they can, or cannot run. Therefore, technically, it is a free press....... When the content of the articles is dictated by a conglomerate instead of the state which improvement does it bring to the freedom of the press? Never said it was an improvement. It still technically qualifies as "free" press though......

Running any lighting mods? ENBs?

Too bad it doesn't actually work that way in real life. Look at the US. We know for a fact that most (all?) of our politicians are crooks, don't care about 'the people', only their campaign donors..... yet we still put them back in office each election cycle. Here in the US, we do have some pretty bright individuals, but, taken collectively, we got nothin' on a box of rocks.

Need to update your sig now? :)

I would wonder if the collection system didn't get installed properly.... The x02 and x03 shouldn't interfere at all..... Could try reinstalling the collection system...

What mods are you running that effects power armor?

That is odd...... I don't understand why you wouldn't be able to......

Using two different mod managers can cause some truly interesting issues.... Pic one, get rid of the other. Uninstalling the game only removes the game files, and doesn't even get all of them...... It does NOT remove ANY mod files, anything in your My Games\Fallout 4 folder, or anything in the C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\fallout 4.... where the file that tells the game what mods it should load resides. And then we have the whole "mods aren't really in the data folder" schtick the mod managers use. They don't install anything to the data folder, they just create symbolic links, so it *appears* the mods are in there, but, in reality, they aren't. I am unsure if uninstalling the game actually removes those links. So, it's entirely possible that uninstalling/reinstalling the game, without telling your manager to nuke all the mods first, doesn't remove those. So, so far as the game is concerned, all those mods are still there. We having fun yet? :)

We ostensibly have freedom of the press here in the US, however, most news outlets, regardless of what media they use, are parts of a very few conglomerates. The number of truly 'independent' outlets is vanishingly small. And each conglomerate has their own bias as well. It is evidenced by what news they report, and the manner in which they report it. And that is inevitably geared toward supporting what THEY believe are the 'facts'...... They exclude information that doesn't support their position. Read an article about some particular topic on MSNBC, then, read an article about the same bit of news on someplace like Fox News, and it almost seems like they are reporting on two unrelated events.... Accuracy doesn't seem to matter any more either. Look what happened to Tom Brokaw. In their rush to be "The First" to break a story, that didn't bother to fact check at all, and the story turned out to be completely false..... It is no longer about reporting news, it's about ratings. Doesn't seem to matter if they have the story straight, it just needs to be pushed out there, before someone else beats them to it. Another example.... A few years back, an airliner botched a landing, clipped a fence, and had a somewhat less than successful landing.... It was on the news within an hour. There are youtube clips of it out there, where the talking head was talking about the pilot... Wi Tu Lo..... and the co-pilot... Sum Ting Wong...... and he actually reported that with a straight face....... I was floored. How could someone NOT realize that those are not something made up by the good folks on the internet as JOKES?????? Nope. The news media is not what it once was. Their priorities have changed dramatically, and accurate, unbiased reporting, no longer exists. Its all social outrage, and drama now. Simply not worth watching.

Did you go from a version that was pre-profile driven, to one of the later versions? When I did that, I had to reinstall all of my mods.........

That would probably be best...... otherwise, you might end up with some conflicting mods.

I wonder if it is some mysterious key combo specific to the CS..... Check the 'edit' menu, and see if it has anything interesting there.

I think "Bladed" simply adds damage to the weapon bash. There isn't a specific attack for it that I am aware of.

You only want the esp, OR the esl file in your data folder. Esp files count toward your mod limit, ESL files, for the most part.... Don't.

Scrap everything only breaks precombines in settlement areas, if it ain't a settlement, then SA doesn't touch it. (though, there IS an option to do so in the installer.....)

A mirelurk king in Sanctuary at first level???? Fresh out of the vault??? How did that happen?

There should be a way to endorse members. :)
