PoorlyAged

I will echo the "two accounts" comment by @DaddyDirection. It can even happen for two accounts on the same network, so if there are two users in the same household you need to let the admins know. As for uploading, take a chance and just do it. The worse that happens is that you have to report a user for being an <expletive deleted>. But the good always outweighs the bad.

I am getting tired of the apocryphal announcements that Creation Club will kill free mods. CC is no more or no less than Bethesda contracting with established mod authors to create content. Free mods will still exist because (a) not every pitch will be accepted and (b) there will still be need for patches as Bethesda does a poor job of fixing their bugs. Now, which is better? Game play and story are pretty much identical, just the visuals are better. The 64 bit engine seemed more stable, but that is just my opinion. Lastly, Bethesda is already moving away from Oldrim and LE and pushing SE. So in terms of future support, SE is the way to go. Mods for SE are in limited supply, and mods from the other versions are considered incompatible. Saves are not portable and the SKSE64 is not ready, so mods which require the Script Extender are going to be late in porting. Final answer, if you want mods now then Oldrim. If you are willing to wait, SE.

If you want mods for SE which are dependent on the script extender, you are going to have to wait for SKSE64; which is in the works. Just be aware that not all mods will be ported to SE even after SKSE64 is available. As for transferring "stuff" from Oldrim to SE, there are no options available and it is highly discouraged. Several have posted that the 32 bit data from Oldrim will crash or kill SE. So if your desire to recreate your Oldrim experience in SE, your only option is patience. As for me, I have uninstalled Oldrim and it's CK. I do not intend to go back. I will keep futzing with Fallout 4 until SE has more tools and services available for mod making.

You're really beginning to stretch the definition of RPG. While it is a broad term that can encompass many types of "RPG's" - a standard Mario game would certainly not qualify. I think you may have missed the point. The definition of "RPG" is so imprecise and nebulous that the appellation can be (and is) stretched to cover a whole host of disparate games. In the end, what is or isn't a RPG is pretty much left up to the players preferences, imagination and opinion.

The i's have it. Welcome. My advice is simple. Start small. Find a piece in the game or a mod that does kinda what you want and learn the techniques. There are a plethora of YouTube videos that can help. Just google the game and what you want to do. Good luck and don't be afraid to ask questions frequently.

Not necessarily true. There is a quest path using the MM which leaves both the BoS and the RR intact after destroying the Institute.

Six months ago, I was a user like you who decided as you have. Now I have published several mods and am working on more. It is not as difficult to do simple things as some would have you believe. Don't be discouraged.

When you have guests arriving tomorrow and you wake up from a sound sleep convinced you need to find some prewar money to get the cloth needed to craft another bed.

I absolutely do. Huts, beds, food, water, turrets, done. And the first four are only if they are truly needed by the folks already there. I don't even put up a beacon unless the game insists. The only settlement location I invest in is the Nuka World Red Rocket. Perimeter walls made from warehouse foundation blocks, electronic doors, elevators, and a four story glass palace atop the coolant station which is connected to the perimeter walls via walkways. My home sans settlers with some noisy neighbor up the hill.

Pick a game. Find a mod you like and have fun. Or... If you can't find a mod which meets your requirements, make one of your own. That's fun too. Either way, welcome.

Dog. No! Wait! Cat. Whew, the wife left. Dog, definitely dog.

Welcome. Twice.

Welcome. As a neophyte myself, I can only tell you what I did. I found mods I liked and tried to take them apart to see how they worked. Or I would find something in the game which was kind of like I wanted to do and see how it was done. Trial and err, stumble and stand. Just start simple and work up from there. There are also some very good tutorials on YouTube. Just google what you want to do. Again, welcome.

@Etheron asked for your sources and was dismissed, so I am asking again. What are your sources for the statement that Google is an " active enemies of a free and open internet"?

Or just delving into other peoples mods to see how they did something is also a great way to learn.

I seem to remember that it was possible to make a skill "legendary" and start training in that skill again and thus leveling a character forever.

I created a mod that allows the crafting of the Nuka Cola Storage Rack (from the Nuka World DLC) if you complete the Open Season Quest. The reason I created the mod is because it appeared that the Storage Rack could not be crafted if you didn't side with Cage and the Raiders. However, I have received a comment that indicates that the Storage Rack cannot be crafted even if the PC sides with the Raiders. So my question is; For those that sided with the Cage and the Raiders, can you craft the Nuka World Nuka Cola Storage Rack without a mod? It is in Furniture > Shelves. Thanks.

Are there any remaining platforms which use octal? I thought every platform now used hexadecimal.

Some basics. The FormID is a 32 bit identifier. The right 24 bits are the actual form number assigned by the Creation Kit. The left most eight bits (two nibbles or a byte) of the FormID is the load order of the file and these are assigned when the game is loaded. It is this load order you are attempting to update. You don't need to. As for the limits, the loaded files are numbered 00 to FF or zero to 255. Since zero is a valid value in this case, there are actually 256 valid values. Now, the base game is always zero (00). The DLC take the next 'X' values and the User generated files come last. There is a link to a paper in my signature which goes into greater detail on Bits, bytes, nibbles, Binary and Hex. Hope this helps.

They are idiots for buying consoles to begin with so your observation is false. Well then I'M AN IDIOT too because I play on both PC and Console! I make mods and share them with everyone! People have different reasons for choosing a platform and some people just like to sit on the sofa while playing so they choose a console. I always assume that the people who bash console players for just being console players are simply trying to justify spending too much money on their PC. Edit: and ALL OF MY MODS ARE MADE ON A MAC! :laugh: I must be an idiot too. Xbox One S and PC. The Xbox is my UHD DVD player and my test platform for my Xbox mods. And I am an lazy old man. My PC is hooked up to the same Monitor as the Xbox so I can also use it from my easy chair. Wireless keyboard, rodent and Xbox One Controller. Game on dudes.

It started out as a peaceful demonstration until the authorities decided to try to stop it.There was no good reason to interfere with these students.The focus should have been on the violent activists that were shipped in from who knows where that set fire to the ROTC building.The guardsmen could have gone after them instead shooting down unarmed fleeing students. Police methods need to change.Not too long ago a child in a playground was shot and killed because he was reported for brandishing a weapon which turned out to be a bb gun. The police rushed to the scene and drove their squad cars within mere feet of the child and when the child turned they killed him.That,in my opinion,is poor training. There are numerous cases of police firing on unarmed fleeing suspects,what the hell causes that?They are fleeing for Zeus sake. Here is the Code of Federal Regulations governing the use of deadly force. It defines the conditions under which a fleeing suspect may be fired upon.

Of course it's horseshit. Why should a pesky little thing like a dictionary get in the way of a perfectly good delusion.

Not quite true. BUT... If you do successfully overthrow the Government of the United States, this law no longer exists. Nor does the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. This law didn't exist until 1940, and was passed in response to the rise of Communism in our country. It officially converted our free republic into an empire and was the beginning of the end of our federal government. Oh, of course. The existence of a law which contradicts your statements about an individuals authority to overthrow the government must be invalidated somehow. So explain how you reconcile this law with our Declaration of Independence. Because in over a half century I've never found a way to do so. It was and still is treason to our country. Our country, NOT our government. It is sad that you have wasted half a century. My grandchildren learned in grade school that the Declaration of Independence is not a legally binding document and sections of that document where superseded by the U.S. Constitution. But that little truth doesn't mean anything if it doesn't fit the preconceptions. A country is what? A land mass or part of a land mass with an established government. How about that, country and government are irrevocably linked. By definition, country and government cannot exist without each other. But the reality of definitions are a waste of time; they just confuse the narrative. And the law above is not treason. This is the U.S Law on Treason. But that petty little detail is not germane. Please continue with what it was you were saying.

The tools to play a role should be in the game, what are we paying them for? arguing you can do it all in your head makes every single game a possible RPG, in fact if you're going to do everything yourself why even bother with the game? just close your eyes and use your imagination. If a game is sold as an RPG I expect to be able to play different roles and have the game react to that, no game could react to all possibilities but I do expect to be able change something, Skyrim and Fallout 4 do not react in any way. Both Skyrim and FO4 are decent enough games but they're both appalling RPGs. Why of course. The inability of a game to meet expectations has absolutely nothing to do with what the player brings to the keyboard. It is completely the games failing.
