363rdChemicalCompany Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 So my new gaming laptop came in yesterday. yayy I thought it would not be too difficult to set it up to match my 340 + mods FO4 on my desktop (haha!) I had nearly all my mods loaded on a thumbdrive and was loading them up into Vortex (poor internet connection in hotel, thumbdrive was much faster, albeit still took hours) to load them on my USB 3.0) I knew there was a risk and set up profiles first with 20 mods enabled ( the basics plus) then 40 then 80 then 140, but I tested it out down the way. And after about 60 mods I would get constant CTD trying to start up game regardless whether new game or a loaded start.. Also this took forever. My internet connection is not good here in the hotel otherwise I would upload my stuff to collections and download it new. But I need really good internet for that since I have a LOT of mods including some large ones, and even then downloading my own mods as a collection does not guarantee the absence of problems. Anyway... thats just me venting  I will figure out my CTDs,  back to the real point of this post. In my desktop setup i have both bodyslide and F4SE tabs attached to the top left in Vortex ready to use. ( see pic) . Yet for some reason I cant accomplish the same thing on my new machine, its been 18 months since I originally set up my modded FO4 and I didnt really know what I was doing back then and tried a lot of random things and some worked. Not so sure I now know what I am doing, since I cannot reproduce this. Any tips on how to attach my bodyslide and FSE tabs to the top of Vortex? I seen it like that so long I thought it was default as soon as you installed those 2 mods but clearly it isnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
363rdChemicalCompany Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 Update. Fixed the CTDs via trial and error. NAC-X for some reason, does not show up in the MCM even though the .esps are enabled. I am trying to remember do i build a holotape for it first? None of my AAF mods are enabled right now, those are the hardest to make work and now i just want to make sure the machine works. Speaking of which I get the weird "you are looking through a tunnel goggle " effect that is usually the hallmark of a weak machine running on too high settings. An older rig of mine did that when I ran NAC-X (which is a bit resource hungry and sometimes it was a but much for my old rig) And yes I have most settings on ultra but this laptop has a i9 14900, an Gen 4 SSD, 64GB of DDR5 RAM and a RTX 4090 (ok yes, I know I laptop 4090 is not quite even a desktop 4080 but still i should have ZERO issues with these specs) EDIT: Did not notice that issue in another 30 min of gameplay, even though i made a point to go to visually demanding areas, seemed to be so far in vault and right after exit EDIT2: I am using the GOG version on this computer.

363rdChemicalCompany Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 Update: Everything running fine. Set up one profile working and tested just with my "essential" 200 mods plus another 2nd one with a dozen of so AAF mods (havent tested that one yet) Still feel I am missing some "nice to haves" since my normal mods list is 300+ but I can play like this. The laptop runs great, during testing I took my charcter to a location that gives my desktop (i9 10900KF, 64 GB DDR4 RAM, SSD, RTX 4070) some slowdown ( a giant hotel mod without internal cells to "save" on system load on spectacle Island) and it seems unaffected. But then again I dont have Luxors HD pack installed yet and I am sure it will give the machine abit extra to chew on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
