Body Slot Map - Early consensus?

[PlagueHush]

Howdy all!

 

It looks like Bethesda have thrown the body slot usage completely up in the air again this time around, and they no longer bear *any* resemblance to Gamebryo's original mapping, or how they were laid out in Skyrim. We went through all this once for Skyrim way later than we should have done, so it's time to do it again for Fallout 4 before the armor and equipment mods start pouring in!

 

I've laid out below the slot usage from looking through all of the armors and worn equipment in the game. It's taken quite a lot to whittle it down to this layout, but I'm confident what I have is now as accurate as I can make it. Time to turn it over to you guys for discussion, and to get some consensus early on so we don't have backpacks removing hats or people having to choose between back-slung rifles and shoes in six months! :wink:

 

Bethesda's vanilla allocations are as follows. I'll update this list if needed depending on how the conversation shakes out. I've given examples of the unique places these are used if you want to go look at them in FO4Edit.

now to get a sharp stick and poke the modders into submitting to the same locations.

Nothing less than a sharp stick will work. Thanks for writing this out for everyone.

Thanks for this; the CK will tell all but the earlier this stuff gets mapped out and adhered to, the better.

At least this time the order literally goes from head to toe ;)

 

There's also a lot more bodyslots being used now which is pretty great news.

I can add them into FO4Edit actually. They are probably named different in GECK, but that's still better than using Skyrim ones for now.

Shields! I want to wield a garbage can lid as a shield!!

33 - Hands - Torso Primary

 

 

 

If you don't tick 33 your pipboy is invisible. So you wouldn't be able to see your map, inventory, etc.

That's an interesting find... are your hands still visible, or the whole arm disappears?

That's Maxson's Battlecoat equipped with these slots ticked

It also makes the armor completely invisible. So you're completely naked.

 

I'm currently working on another custom mesh and for whatever reason it's invisible (albeit the pipboy actually shows up lol) unless I tick 41, 42, and 43
