  1. And then we have the restrictions put in place by microsoft, and sony.... Sony doesn't allow ANY external assets, so, esp only files for Playstation, can't even change scripts.... XBox has a size limitation, which prevents some of the larger mods from being practical. Now, WHY XBox has a size limitation is beyond me. After all, HDD space has gotten CHEAP. and today, even SSD's are reasonably priced......
  2. Serial port was a 9 pin, d-shaped connector, that did indeed have the screws to hold it in place. Game port was a 15 pin D-shaped connector, with slightly different spacing than the standard VGA port. They were generally found on sound cards. The color coded mouse/keyboard connectors, were PS/2 connectors. :) (and no, NOT playstation. :) ) I LOVED the wing commander series of games. I played the heck out of those. The number of hours I spent on those, would probably scare me.... Of course, at the time I was playing them, I had nothing else to do, as I had given up walking due to injuries for a couple months.... It was fun, and it wasn't.... I am kinda partial to being able to get around under my own power. :D Preston being mad at you for siding with Raiders is indeed scripted, and I seriously doubt that a console command will solve that. The first time you do another raider quest, he will be pissed again. Gotta remember, the goals of the raiders, and preston and company, are diametrically opposed. It's one or the other. Can't have both.
  3. I use TrueBy9, I had to manually edit my fallout4.ini to get 3440x1440, and it works fairly well. The game, however, doesn't really understand 21x9, and as you get further from the center, the image is more 'fisheyed'. Still and all, it looks GOOD on my 34" screen. :D I think I have FOV set at 90/90.... Experiment with those values, to get what you like. (can live with.....)
  4. Erm, I don't think that's quite right.... The frequency of patches due to CC content has INCREASED the patch frequency..... which tends to mess with any mods that us a script extender, which doesn't affect console users at all, as they can't use them. But then, of course, we also get the patches that change the way mods/load order/etc are implemented, and beth doesn't bother to document that anywhere, so EVERYONE (on pc....) mods simply stop working. I would ask you, what was the point of THAT???? It did not improve mod implementation, it was a change which the ONLY purpose seemed to be to mess with PC mod users....... I know you are a beth fan boi, and so far as you are concerned, beth can do no wrong..... so, arguing with you is completely pointless....
  5. This isn't anything new. It's the same thing they have been doing since before CC content was even a thing. You can defend beth all you want, but, we are not blind, nor stupid. Beth does what is best for Beth. (which really shouldn't come as a surprise) Modders come second, if even that high on the list. Of course, there IS the fact that consoles represent the bulk of their customers, so, you DO have a point there.... But, Beth was more modder friendly before mods became a thing on consoles as well.....
  6. The patches beth is putting out now aren't bug fixes though. They are to support CC content..... Which has been the case for some time now. Beth claims they 'support the modding community', yet here they are, cranking out patches left and right, they actually BREAK the mods...... And release Skyrim on GOG? That's nice. But, saying that beth supports modders on one hand, but, never game them a clue this was going to happen, what version it would even be, on the other hand..... doesn't really lend much credence to 'we support modders'...... They remind me of politicians, say what you think they want to hear, then do whatever you want in spite of what you have said.
  7. Been there, done that, have a drawer full of t-shirts..... :D There is a mod out there, (workshop framework? or something like that...) that allows you to 'undo' scrapping, back a couple of items. Trouble is, it seems the mod is a bit buggy. Bear in mind, that info is rather out of date though... Been some time since I last looked at it.
  8. You have more faith in fallout modders, than beth. So far as I am concerned, that's a good plan. :D
  9. Like some of the kids in Skyrim...... There JUST to be annoying. :)
  10. See what version your game now thinks it is, then get the SKSE for that game version. It *should* work...
  11. They are like cockroaches..... simply can't avoid them. :smile: That reminds me of: Do your part. :cool: Ah, Starship Troopers. Loved that movie. Wasn't quite like the book.... but, it was a fun watch. :D
  12. I doubt there would be ANY cartridge firearms left. The tech to reproduce ammo would have collapsed with the war. The folks in New Vegas seem to have figgered it out though...... Raw materials might be fun to come by..... At the very least you will need old fashioned gunpowder (or blackpowder). For that you need sulfur, carbon (charcoal) & saltpeter (potassium nitrate). You can use rocks as projectile, if metals are rare. (just like the very first guns we created centuries ago.) With all the burned trees, there's enough charcoal* and with brahmin manure you can get some saltpeter & it looks like there are quite a few sulfur mines inside Massachusetts, so that would be possible in this case. You still need a chemistry lab of sorts, but not as impossible as using modern day ammunition's. There was ones a TV series which actually addressed this (in part): Revolution (2012 - 2014) * = I should add that this is actually very unrealistic, unless ALL insects and micro organisms died. Which means the planet will turn into a Mars landscape & there is no life possible for humans anymore ... Plenty of scrap metal around as well. :D So, just need a forge, and a method of drilling a hole thru a metal tube. I have no clue how they did it way back when..... Haven't dug into it that much. (no plans for producing firearms here.... :smile: ) Cockroaches would survive. They don't seem to be as adversely effected by radiation. Initially, I would expect their population to outright explode. Lots o' stuff to munch on, and no, or very few, humans spraying pesticides..... After 200 years, the bulk of the radiation would be down to 'acceptable' levels, though I would question whether ANY water sources would provide drinkable water.... That would have to be a DEEP well.... In 200 years? ALL fallout will have washed away to the bottom of the oceans. In fact, it will only take a few years for that 'problem' to be 'solved'. The worst radiation is gone in weeks, the rest in months to several years. Staying underground for 25 years is more then enough. After 200+ years ... there hardly is anything left to harm you. The water itself will not be radiated. It's the 'dust' it collects and transports which is the problem. But only for a few years. Tops. (although hotspots will probably take longer, depending on weather as well. (Without rain, the fallout doesn't wash away so easily) Cockroaches would indeed survive. (& NOT mutate) as do scorpions. However, dead trees & plants are 'decomposed' by microorganisms. This in turn, with the help of worms (amongst others) creates fertile soil. Many plants rely on insects to 'disperse' their seeds. IF most of that is gone (as the game implies) there is simply no hope for humanity. (as plants would disappear, there's no food & all land animals would die of famine, including 'us') - To stay inside the vaults, would be pretty much the only option. ...but as we can see from places like Hiroshima & Tjernobyl nature will NOT be as devastated as the game depicts. Unless there's a nuclear winter several years long (which will have the same result, the death of 99% of all land animals & plants.). But even then, many seeds will survive and grow again when the sun returns. In 200 years, earth would probably look like it did hundreds of years ago. Full of lush forests, instead of deserts. Depending on the survival of insects and micro organisms. Chernobyl, and surrounding areas, are still uninhabitable by man though..... Granted, it hasn't been 200 years, but, yeah, nature is taking over the areas that were once cities. But, that's a whole nother kettle o' fish. :D NONE of the buildings depicted in-game would still be standing. Realistically, that late in the game, you would be hard pressed to point out where a city once was..... nature would have reclaimed all of it.

  14. Think I would start with the save that works properly, play, and save for a bit, and see if the problem recurs....... Just in case. :D
  15. Need to find out why its crashing. Unfortunately, that isn't always possible. Try going back one save at a time, until you can travel there without a crash.....
  16. Did your game update recently? There is a mod that forces the game to skip the version check, so, older mods still work. But, the only time I have seen this particular behavior, is when the player has gone over the 255 esm/esp cap..... Things get really weird after that.

  18. Just uninstalling the game really.... doesn't. In order to do a COMPLETE uninstall, remove all your mods with whatever mod manager you use, use the uninstaller for the game, the DELETE the game install folder, its corresponding folder in My Documents\My games, and the game folder in C:\Users\username\appdata\local, I think. Reboot, just for giggles. Once that is done, install JUST the game, (and whatever dlc's you may also have) verify the problem is gone.
  19. I used to play a lot of flight sims.... had the joystick, rudder pedals, throttle, etc. The games were a gas, but, I can't find any that are actually GAMES any more.... I was really looking forward to Star Citizen, but, that turned out to be just a cash grab, and I doubt there will EVER be a 'finished' game out of it. I am thinkin' Starfield is going to be worth looking at.... I LOVED playing Privateer back in the day, and Starfield is lookin pretty close. Of course, I don't have my flight controls any more. (does anyone even remember what a serial port looks like? :) Let alone a game port..... haven't see one of those in more than a decade....) Flying is fun, and I don't need *quite* as fine of control as a shooter, so, it just works! (thanks Todd, I stole your line.) But, Starfield got delayed, so, I will hold off on buying any more gaming equipment for a bit. :D
  20. Hhhmmm, that's interesting. On that, I don't know. If it was hidden, it would say so.... Might wanna post about this in the site issues forum, and see if someone on staff can shed some light on the topic. Theoretically, there IS a way to link to the archived version of a mod, but, that presumes that it actually IS archived...... Suppose the question becomes, WHY is it "not found"? If it was removed by staff, than yeah, it's gone, and I don't think you can get it. If was removed by the author, then it should still be archived..... Apparently though, it's been here for quite some time. When was the last time you downloaded it? If it was before like August of last year, then it may just be gone.
  21. I think it was fallout 3, or maybe New Vegas... I take the Shotgun Surgeon perk, along with "And STAY Back!" perk, and a shotgun becomes DEVASTATING! Couple those with the Pancor Jackhammer...... and even deathclaws are no longer a real threat. :) Of course, on folks with ranged weapons, greater than that of a shotgun...... well, gotta use something else for them. :D Due to health issues, my coordination on my right side ain't what it used to be. (fortunately, I am left-handed.... but, still mouse with my right) So, a game controller just doesn't work for me. I don't play on consoles, because I CAN'T..... I tend to get dead right quick. It's annoying. :D
  22. Do you have a secret masochistic streak? :D I hate companions. With a passion. I don't even take dogmeat with me. They are constantly in the way, giving away my position, attacking MUCH sooner than I prefer, rushing in to do melee when they have a perfectly good ranged weapon, and ammo for it, stepping in front of me just as I have a good long-range shot on the OTHER guy with the missile launcher/fatman, etc. I got fed up with 'em, and just quit using them. I do my best to avoid quests were I am REQUIRED to take one with me..... though, Danse, in power armor.... I just let him go first. :D
  23. A fair few of the console players coming attempting to find a way to get mods from here, onto their console. It IS possible, just not precisely legal. :) (violates of HOST of terms of Use of the console.)
