Fallout 4 Creation Kit Beta and an Important Notice to Survival Testers

[dreadziok]

So the survival mode will normally work with mods now or not? I am confused due to the issues with the survival mode modding, i am running on fallout 4 1.4v with steam offline since 1 month. That means i am not updating i do not even have workshop DLC, just Automatron and heavy modded game, about 83 active plugins and evverything runs smooth, i sacraficed many hours to adjust all these setting, mods configs, plugins, fo4edit, graphics and tuning with configuration tool to maintain a good stable play and do not want to ruin it by updating the foullout throuth steam now. A iam little afraid it will mess up my game again. So how are your thouts on this? Should i update to 1.5 survival mode or not? I do not care about the workshop dlc but i have season pass bought so it is a little waste, just waiting for the third dlc harbor or sth like that.

1.5 is more than just survival mode. And the survival mode is optional you will only be playing survival if you select that difficulty.

 

The Workshop DLC or the Construction Kit will not work without the update. When you go online with Steam, you will get the workshop added, but not the Construction Kit. You will need to download and install that separately if you want it.

 

I am sure that the next DLC will require at least the 1.5 version

 

Before updating be sure to back up your mods and all of your saves. Beth changed some things about how mods work with 1.5 and that has caused a lot of confusion, mostly from people who just expected it to work just like before and chose to panic and blame everyone else when it didn't.

So, question:

Does the creation kit require the latest version of FO4? I have not updated because of all the issues I am reading with mods no longer working.

What's obvious to one is less obvious to another. Everyone here has varying levels of modding knowledge and we should try to help each other out whenever possible.

That is not obvious cause when you install CK there is not a mention about that.

Anyone getting this error that when starting NMM for Fallout 4 it doesn't detect the Fallout4.ini even though it's there? Tried verifying cache, deleting the ini flies start would produce new ones so when restarting NMM with Fallout 4 I get the same error :/

 

Oh yeah did anyone else notice that the Fallout4Custom.ini is gone in the My games folder or is that still there for everyone else but me?

rayhne wrote: My guess is that it won't be fixed until the next update of NMM. I go check New Recently list daily to see if any mods I use are listed.

eddieeddieeddie wrote: thanks for the comment, thats what ive been doing checking the " added today" and "new recently" list, or open nmm and go down the list and open the mods page and look....130 mods installed at the moment.

eddieeddieeddie wrote: yep nmm still not showing if there are updates for mods, is everyone having this problem? is there a file or something i can replace that can fix it???other then that everything works great for me

Timmster wrote: Several of my mods don't seem to be checked for updates at all and some get bogus numbers like "Recruitable NPC Dialogue Fixes" gets 9999.9 for the new version number.

Still an issue in 0.61.22 even with the supposed fix in the patch notes.

UFOP has been updated to 1.01, but still lists as 1.00d in NMM.

Also have No Idiot Savant Noise by givemetehfilez listed as a ? since installation.

No change to either updating or missing ids with latest version.

Question about the CK, The creation kit crashes anytime I try and open up a companion npc, FO4 is now up to date but the same thing keeps happening. I was able to load an exterior area and in the render window. But when trying to open the npc file for Cait, it just crashes the CK. Is this a common problem or am I missing something?
