HeyYou

Really? Fallout 3??? That's wild. Beth had said they were 'done' with FO3 YEARS ago........

You are going to need to reinstall your O/S, therefore, you will need to reinstall your games, and everything that goes along with them as well. Installing Steam, and then games, edits the windows registry, reinstalling windows means you are starting with a clean slate, and none of those entries will be there. On the other hand, you could *try* and see if the current windows installation will boot on the new hardware........ It might actually work, but, it is NOT recommended. Tends to lead to "mystery issues" later. :D Best choice: Back up your data, mods, etc, wipe the drive, reinstall windows, reinstall whatever else you need, play. :D It's an exercise, but, it avoids trying to troubleshoot mystery issues later on down the line.

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 I also use a mod that lets you activate those trahs piles that are everywhere. When you activate them, they get disabled and you get some random scrap in your inventory. THAT breaks precombines EVERYWHERE for sure ... It was my understanding the precombine data is on a per-cell basis. So breaking them in one cell (simply by deleting the data from the record), regardless of what they consist of, doesn't affect any other cells.

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.

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
