TheOriginalEvilD Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I have officially killed survival mode. It's gone. The features are gone. I can't even console command antibiotics, and the effects of survival aren't happening (not getting thirsty etc). I tried disabling all my mods but no dice. Anyone heard of this yet? Hey maybe I can go back to a previous save OH THAT'S RIGHT NO I CAN'T because the damn sleep save system only keeps 3 saves so I can't go back far enough to know if I can salvage this play through. :down: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjb54 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 With all that I have heard .... I am waiting and praying for someone like Chesko to create a "Frostfall" type Mod and then someone to create similar: Realistic Needs & Diseases or iNeed. I have found that Bethesda has no real clue how to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaffTheSweetling Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 This is why I save my saves before playing survival. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjb54 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Ya, sadly ... I did some 'homework' - read the reviews of Survival Mode and just went, " I'm not going there. I see that Beth just has no clue how to do it." The mod community comes to the rescue way too often - to get Beth's games to work right ....

Royhr Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Doesn't Gopher offer a way to safely save in survival mode without breaking anything? I personally don't know myself since I have yet to actually play survival mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOriginalEvilD Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) Well I did save all my saves before doing the update (also I backed up the entire Fallout 4 folder) so I guess I could go back to my other characters but then I lose survival and drop down a difficulty which is just pointless. I can't see how one of my mods broke the game? Maybe my save got corrupted or something? Everything was going fine until I noticed I had taken on about 25% rads and my AP was down a bit but I didn't have any "condition", there was nothing in the status tab about what was wrong with me, so I browsed my inventory looking for my antibiotics (which I know I had at least 10 of) and they weren't in there at all, also no herbal antidote. OK, so I tried to craft some, and they're not in the crafting menu. So I tried to console them in, and it says the code isn't recognized, the game literally doesn't have any idea what antibiotics are. How is that even possible?

RaffTheSweetling Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 By any chance did you set the difficulty to a lower one, and then try to later return to Survival mode? I ask because there is no going back to that mode once you opt out. I would imagine a pop-up would have appeared though to inform you of this, and also that you know all about this, but it never hurts to ask.

Nope, I have no interest in lowering the difficulty, haven't touched it. I started a new character (again) and it's working again, but it seems like sometimes the notifications don't pop up when they should. I'll look down under my AP bar and see that I'm hungry/thirsty, but I never go the message for it. Then sometimes it won't show up in the status either. I've tried disabling all my mods but it didn't make a difference. However, it does seem to happen less often and run smoother when I don't use F4SE (yes it's updated to the latest version).

tartarsauce2 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) things I use to deal with this because I apparently have gone the full distance in screwing myself over in a crash course of how to fallout4 being totally new to bethesda games modding having only played PS3 skyrim and 386/486 arena/daggerfall :>marelo's overhaul, some nice stuff, like skipping minigames etchttp://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/13144/?elder scrolls diseases in fallout (molerat becomes a mundane disease and thus more common but easier to cure for yourself)http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12895/? "Designed for Survival Mode. It saves every 5 or 10 minutes, not counting time in menus. The timer is reset on sleeping. I recommend going into your Fallout4Custom.ini and increasing the number of autosaves the game will rotate through.I made this because the game was just too unstable with the mods I was running and it was aggravating to lose a ton of progress to software issues, but I didn't want to use a quicksave mod because I actually like the added difficulty of saving in beds, and I doubt I can trust myself to resist the temptation to start quicksaving like a normal mode game. This is the first mod I'm publicly releasing, so hope it goes well and that you enjoy it."http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12889/? In the new survival mode you can't switch back to survival mode once you turned it off. This mod vanishesthis limitation. Please note that your hunger/thirst/deprivation/adrenaline stats will be reset,so that's kind of cheating. The vanilla messages still displays, but have no incidence. This mod is meant for players who are stuck out of survival mode after being obligated to use console commandshttp://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11663/? "Survival Mode Console.Well I was really disappointed when they turned off the console.So I turned it back on!This mod is changing one value only.So the console can be enabled for survival mode.Value: bEnableConsoleMenuDuringSurvival 0 to 1"http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11834/?
