Just popped in to say..... this has been working like a charm for me! Well, since i figured out how to stop steam keep changing the setting back (deleting the Steam user data folder works if anyone else has problems with that). The last 2 updates i've been able to do at my leisure with zero agro. Can't thank you enough Northwolf cause that update sh*t was seriously interfering with my 'Calm'! :happy:

^This! It might not seem like much, but you will get all kinds of annoyed with how it is in vanilla. I use this one though http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1235/? I believe the one i use is more translations of the original New Dialog mod but i'm not possitive. Other must haves for me are..... DefUI http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10654/? VIS http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3877/? Armorsmith Extended http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2228/? and i personally don't use this but it sounds like it might be for you.... Weaponsmith Extended http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10737/? and a new addition to my must haves since Survival mode, is.... Campsite http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11734/?

Apparently, if a settlement is purely made up of robots, it's maximum happiness is 50. If you throw some robots into a human settlement they will pull down the happiness overall (not to 50 but they'll lower the average). According to this....

I've never seen anyone say to 'suck it up' or laugh at your frustrations! I did see this very helpful post... https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/4556475-psa-you-can-disable-automatic-updates-in-steam-and-avoid-f4se-breaking/

the setav has always worked for me...however, i have noticed sometimes,that after setting it to 1000 i have had to fast travel about a bit, and try to get a naturally occuring positive reaction from them for the dialog to kick in. If you are trying it on Danse, be aware also that you can't get max affinity till you have done his quest and his quest is only available after a certain point in the game.

Ahh ok, thats good to know. Thankyou. Yeh, i've not used LOOT so far, just been manually sorting my load order so i'll use that too now. Thanks again!

Ok, sorry if this isn't exactly the same issue but i've had this problem too. Game version 1.5.307 FO4Edit 3.1.3 I've deleted the plugins.txt so it created a new one, but the problem seems to be with the DLC. plugins.txt doesn't list DLCRobot.esm or DLCWorkshop01.esm so when i open FO4Edit those 2 are listed, but placed at the bottom of my esm's, when they are actually higher up. That then means i can't load ArmorKeywords.esm cause it is above DLCRobot.esm in FO4Edit. Everything else is sorted right, so again, i apoligize if this isn't the same issue as the OP.

Awesome! \o/ glad it worked for you. :)

Ahh, i'll have a look around tomorrow see if i can figure out how to check that. I only searched a bit today trying to figure it out, but i do remember someone saying they had fixed it by deleting a user folder or something, so yes...maybe something is a bit funky in there and i need to refresh it. I'll look more thoroughly now i know it's definitely not supposed to be doing that. Thankyou!

I completely agree! Yes, we got settlements...which i do love...but at what cost? They've not been a bit lazy, they've been utterly lazy! They left it up to players to populate the world, but the best we can do is generic 'settlers'. It was the first thing that hit me about the game, how empty and lifeless it felt.

Ok, so my next question is.... how do you stop Steam from reverting that setting back to 'always keep this game up to date'? :/ Cause it is doing for me, everytime i restart my pc.

The second one i mentioned, Place Everywhere, doesn't use Cheat Engine. You do however need F4SE http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/9424/? - Place Everywhere http://f4se.silverlock.org/ - F4SE I just tested it, and while you can't wire through the house, you can connect them both outside then move one inside after like i thought.

Ahh thankyou! Yeh i feel better knowing that it's like that for everyone, thought i'd done something wrong.

Do you have any mods that allow you to place in red? While they still won't let you go through walls (i don't think), you can connect them both while they're outside then move one inside after. I used to do it that way when i used 'Place in Red' and it worked like a charm. I've just switched to Place Anywhere though and not had a chance to try that yet but i would imagine it would also let you do it (from the brief bit i have seen of it, it might even let you wire through walls, it's pretty awesome!)

I'm not positive but i think the clutter menu is from SKE. It's not from Homemaker anyway, that's for sure. So if all you have is Homemaker and no SK then there won't be a clutter menu so you probably had it working correctly. The things you are looking for have been moved into Fixtures i believe.

Yep, got it :wink: Thanks again I was just asking about that a couple of posts up. Have you used it before, or only this time? And do you have DLC? I don't understand the warning about if you have DLC it can cause problems in the future so i'm like...yeh...dunno.

I'm not sure, might just be a feature that's always enabled. The entire thing is worth it even if just for the object and surface snapping, yeah. The other stuff isn't too hard to use if you get accustom to it, though, if you ever considered using the more involved features. I absolutely love it! I've only just installed it cause i was really trying to avoid F4SE till the updates became less frequent, but Place In Red had started really playing up for me so i had to do it, and i'm so glad i did! It meant i could also lose Autohotkey and the Precise movement thing, and 2 less programs running when i'm playing Fallout can only be a good thing. My pc really doesn't cope well with that.

That is really good to know, thankyou! Definitely going to be doing this from now on cause i get super irritated by forced updates. I'd tried the BPM thing previously but it just kept reverting the setting back, but then again i don't use BPM normally and if i'm understanding that correctly, you have to for it to work. Just to clarify also.... when you move your old Fallout4.exe back into the Fallout directory, do you have to rename it back to just Fallout4.exe or is that not necessary? I'm a bit dim with things like that so sorry if it's an obvious question ha and a quick side question for anyone.... Are things like this Downpatcher safe to use would you think? http://www.speedrun.com/Fallout_4/thread/fvo80 Had a couple of days holiday to play some Fallout, set up my mods for a new game, loaded it up....and bam....update! I'm getting a bit angsty now so i'm seriously considering using it. But at least i now know how to avoid this in the future so thanks again :D

I have this problem too I know this is a slightly old post but if anyone has any ideas what it could be i'd appreciate it! Before Caliente's CBBE Vanilla outfits were completely converted, i did use another mod to convert them but i can't for the life of me remember what it was. So initially i was thinking that maybe some files got left over from that. I've looked thoroughly through all folders however, and i'm not seeing anything that shouldn't be there so i'm stumped.

You can do that with Place everywhere http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/9424/?

Because that patch was from 6/1. There isn't a patch note for today's patch, at least not the last time I checked. I can't find a patch note either, which makes me wonder where the person i quoted earlier got that info.

I found this that someone else quoted on steam but i'm not sure where they got this info.....

Do you have Complete Crafting Overhaul? If so, there is an option in that for Daedric items to only be craftable at night, think it's set on as default.

First time i've played on 1.5 today and i had 2 attacks in around 4 hours. That in itself is an increase (for me), but even more unusual was that they both started at exactly the same time. Definitely something funky going on

I'm really happy with it! It only took me 5 mins to get my game to load and it only took an NMM update and 3 mods updated to get there. For me personally, it's much more stable. It almost seems like i've had a massive hardware upgrade. One thing i'm super happy about, is i no longer get the textures loading low-res first. My loading screens are longer, BUT....i always said i'd rather have a longer loading screen and fully loaded textures when it has finished. I've no idea if they actually changed the way it loads the textures again, but the update has had that effect for me anyway, so i'm super happy!
