How best to MOD my Fallout4?...

[sophiextime]

Hello x

 

I love my Skyrim game. I love that Bethesda have created games and allowed them to be modded to the hilt. My Skyrim has close to 200 Mods and i barely get a CTD or issue with them. However i wisely followed Gopher's Youtube videos on how to install Mod Organizer and SKSE and how to use programs correctly like LOOT and FNIS and TES5Edit.

Any conflicts i get seem to make sense and dont ruin the stability of the game. All my MODS run fine and the games textures and detail is incredible. Very happy bunny with Skyrim.

 

However i know Fallout4 is in its baby-days but i adore it and want to get the full modded gaming experience. Its young and still being fixed regularly. I have tried Modding it using Nexus Mod Manager and at the moment installed approximately 95 mods into it. Most are texture and clothing mods and some script and performance and immersive mods. i love a hardcore Immersive game.

 

Now i fully understand that until GECK is released, any MOD installed is completely at my own risk and i accept that.

I am not sure if it is due to any new way the game runs via the auto-installed newest Fallout4 patch on how textures are rezzed in-game or if its a MOD i have installed that's over-working my system but now i get terribly soapy textures that randomly pop out of detail :(. If i quick-save and quick-load they return but only temporarily.

Now i am NOT and i repeat NOT blaming either any MODDER or Bethesda. In fact i blame myself maybe for possibly trying to make my game run incorrectly with mods.

 

So after that long-winded comment my main question is this.

 

Is there a stable way yet to MOD my Fallout4, like i do my Skyrim?

ie. a SKSE equivilant ( F4SE?) and can i use LOOT and Mod Organizer etc to run modding and my fallout4 as stably as my modded Skyrim and with no texture soapyness?

I do have a high spec PC with GForce Nvidia graphics and a lot of RAM. My Skyrim runs smooth and is way way more pushed to the limit than i think my Fallout4 is, yet my Fallout4 really cant cope with textures. Its smooth framerate wise.

For a support forum this site really totally sucks.

Look at how many people post topics asking for help, how many view them and how many actually reply.

 

Either everyone is totally stupid ass dumb at anything regarding technical help for those that need it or they are F**king selfish and keep their knowledge to themselves.

 

I really have to wonder why i even bother asking, which i am sure all the many other people that posted topics asking for help and either got only a couple replies ir as in most cases 0 replies agree.

 

so disappointing.

So apparently the window between you asking for help and outright insulting everyone is seven hours. I don't think there's much mystery why helping people isn't such a tempting proposition to draw the crowd. Why haven't you helped those people with zero replies?

 

The answer to your questions in order are:

No, all Fallout 4 tools are alpha pre-releases and Bethesda has yet to offer any support to modding until the release of the CK. Modding the game is done at your own risk and will not work as smoothly on a newly released game as it does on a four year old game.

Yes, there is a F4SE, you can find it by searching Google for "F4SE".

Yes, there is a Fallout 4 LOOT, you can find it by searching the Fallout 4 Nexus for "LOOT".

No, Mod Organizer 2 (with 64 bit compatibility) is in alpha release for testers only.

If you're having problems with the game itself you should contact Bethesda's support team.

I would like to apologise for my rude response when my frustration went OTT.

 

PoliteRaider was right and i had no right to be so rude to a forum site that has helped me in the past and will likely still help me in the future.

 

I was out of order and for what its worth i am sorry, particularly for the things i said and to anyone that read my topic/posts and felt insulted or hurt.

 

I am frustrated because i am passionate about this game and reeally want to support it and not just quit trying to play it. But it breaks my heart when i had such high expectations and excitement in playing it and then find after the update from Bethesda my texture went loopy.

 

I am honestly not fully sure if its the game, an update or how my own game is set up. But i never had any issues prior to that update.

 

I have tried sticking it out and hoping it might just be rare incidents but it seems almost all surfaces, in cities and out in the wilderness now go soapy and pop in and out :(

 

so, sorry to all and fingers crossed somehow this fixes.

Well, I was over the top myself with the reaction. Sorry to snap at you.

 

Honestly I wish I knew how to fix that problem. I looked through the old thread of people talking about it and I'm just not sure what's doing it. It really does seem like it's related more to the game itself than any mod. No one really seemed to have any conclusive information about what was causing it though.

 

Despite the flippancy with which I offered it before, I do think it's worthwhile contacting Bethesda support. Clearly something is going very wrong with the game and I'd really hope that they'd be able to find out what it is and fix it. I can't contact them myself since I'm not really experiencing the issue to provide them with the right details.

Thankyou Polite, i shall maybe try that. I have seen a few people suggest adding ini files or changing them, and they could very well be right but i am personally nervous of effecting them as i really am not clued up on ini files and just know i would make it worse.

 

I am hoping that if its just a update and issue with the game itself that it will be fixed.

 

I shall try contacting Bethesda and seeing if they can help.

 

Thanks again :)
