I kindly urge you to refrain from your efforts to vilify me. If the idea I’ve presented doesn’t resonate with you, there are numerous options available on this page to exit the thread rather than contributing unproductive criticism and unnecessary negativity. Constructive dialogue is always welcome, but baseless discouragement only detracts from meaningful conversation. Let’s focus on fostering a more positive and productive exchange.

If the idea doesn’t resonate with you and you choose not to support it, that’s completely fine—I’m not here to force anyone. Participation in this thread is entirely voluntary. If you strongly dislike the concept or disagree with me for proposing it, you’re free to step away at any time. However, I don’t see the value in constantly criticizing my request or trying to discourage me at every opportunity. Constructive feedback is welcome, but negativity without purpose doesn’t help anyone.

Is Benny’s personality truly a decisive factor in crafting an alternative pacifist route to secure the Platinum Chip—one that doesn’t require the player to willingly march into a blatant, immersion-breaking ambush? Let’s dissect this. If the goal is to empower players to resolve conflicts through cunning and diplomacy (core pillars of role-playing!), then Benny’s characterization should enhance flexibility, not restrict it. Consider this: Persuading Swank to betray Benny already neutralizes the threat of his allies retaliating. This creates a logical pathway for a non-lethal resolution that the game’s current design overlooks. The contradiction here undermines player agency. Why force a ‘gotcha’ ambush scenario when mods like Benny Returns exist to expand narrative possibilities? By integrating Swank’s betrayal as a trigger for bypassing the ambush entirely, players could organically confront Benny on their terms—using dialogue, stealth, or strategic alliances. This wouldn’t just fix a plot hole; it would reward creative problem-solving and align with the game’s ethos of choice-driven storytelling.

What about non-lethally subduing him either in the Presidential Suite or in his own suite? there have to be smarter no n-lethal alternatives to just letting him escape to The Fort with the chip.

This mod idea isn’t just “canon-friendly”—it’s necessary. It fills a gap in the NCR’s story, empowers players to roleplay as the Republic’s finest, and transforms the Mojave into a living testament to their ambition. Build it, and the NCR stans (and even a few Legion sympathizers, secretly) will come.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but could you clarify what you meant by your earlier comments? I want to emphasize that my intention isn’t to cause frustration—I was simply trying to explore options for using Benny Returns in a way that avoids both killing him and feeling forced into what the game presents as an unavoidable trap. To me, it feels like an unnecessary limitation, and I thought tweaking this scenario could offer more player agency, similar to how other mods adjust dialogue or quest outcomes. I completely respect your perspective, but I’m struggling to understand the concern about this idea. Since this is purely a personal preference—not something I’d expect others to adopt—I’m unsure why the analogy of ‘making people walk my road’ applies here. Many existing mods cater to niche preferences without impacting others’ gameplay, so I’d genuinely appreciate your insight on why this case might differ. Thank you for taking the time to discuss this!

I’ve been stuck on this issue for a while. In the quest involving Benny, it feels like the only options are to either kill him or let him trick you and escape. Is there truly no way to resolve this part of the quest without resorting to violence or letting him screw you over?

https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/130/images/78062/78062-1661104393-1698246435.jpeg Does anyone know what mod this background is from? It looks like it's some Lucky suite mod but i'm not sure.

Would someone be interested in do\ing this? The player has the option to declare him/herselfr the new Lord of the Pitt so why not turn the lights back on in Uptown, establish Haven as your new base in the area and start making improvements? Maybe some dialogue checks for htigns like when you get hte options for Big Town? Set up trade? Arm and equip all fo the freed slaves? establish bases? turrets? etc et instead of just letting that who9le area fall to the trogs?

So I"m looking at AWKCR and I"m wodnering if there is somethign similar to its pigment and texture swappign systemf or weapons or rather what a lto of people prefer to use to this effect.

thanks for trying but not quite what I was asking about. I used mailbox posts as an example pacifically because I mostly mean mass scrapping of world objects by type rather than inventory items. Fromw hat I've seen and havn't seen it doesn't seem possible but I thought i'd ask. But again thank you for the suggestion.

so let's ay i' m in sanctuary Hills and want to scrap ll of the broken mailbox items. is ther ea way to make amod that checks for all objects in the settlementbounds with that Base ID and and scrap them all ato nce?

Thanks it'd be nice if they'd update the site search for osmethign like this so resutls could be sorted using the Nexus' options to sort by date, endorsements, downlaods etc.

I can't se3em to find a way to do this example if I were on New Vegas Nexus and wanted ot search the phrase "Dead Money" (no quotes) I only seem to be able to return results with "dead" and "money" somewhere in the description but not nessecarily in that order. SOrry if this is a stupid qustion I feel like an idiot for asking.

Is this similar? https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/7871 don't really think so it'd be a lot better if ther e was one that at least took advantage of the streamliend UIExtensions menus rather than the clunky vanilla menus. Well, I'm out. NOTHING suggested is going to make you happy, so there's no point in wasting anymore of my time. Have fun converting from LE to SE. My apologies for being difficult. I already converted the two main mods I couldn't find equivalents to I just need to test them and I think I'll be able to find a plug-in to mimic the one feature I need from SkyTweak. You were very helpful with Jaxonz positioner and some of the basic tips just some mods don't seem to have equivalent or better and i'm trying to cover those before I move further. EDIT: Bah it turns out it's moot right now anyway until I can repalce my 4:3 monitor with a 16:10 monitor.
