Can't bethesda just stop making the whole modding harder?

[Netheous]

I've re-downloaded fallout 4 mostly because the game sucked previously, but now I've seen some decent mods making the game somewhat interesting.

Sadly.. modding is no longer as easy - I've added all the lines they told me in the tutorials, but appearently clicking the BoS helmet doesn't pop the menu anylonger.

 

I get no errors, help me out.

Got it fixed - appearently the menu NO LONGER pops up - just use NMM plugins list.

You do realize that they haven't released the creation kit for FO4 yet, so all modding is done with third party software right now. Bethesda isn't expected to release modding tools until sometime later this month.

3rd party modding tools are good enough as long as XSnip isn't the tool used

I have 202 esm and esp files in my load order and the only problems I've encountered have been my fault for not reading the instructions properly or getting the load order wrong.

but there are several 3rd party tools that can help you sort the load order and create a merged patch to make mods work together (LOOT and FO4Edit)

 

LOOT won't save your load order so use NMM to export a load order to text (open this file to see how the mods are listed as a reference), then use LOOT and copy the sorted load order to clipboard and then paste the contents into the NMM exported text and add =1 after each each mod you want activated and save it, then import that load order into NMM and make sure the mods are activated.
