jjb54 Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 Skyrim is worse (and FO4 will get there). *** You find a mod you want. Check it's requirements. It needs ABC mod.ABC need DEF, which needs GHI etc. Texture mods, lot's of them, but yeah, they do stress the system. Once we start getting more quest mods, settlement/housing mods ... Not to mention the site that shall not be named, but once they get their stuff going...(of course, if you're using that kind of mod, you do tend to expect crashes/bugs/slowdowns) :tongue: There were / are a few mods that really 'caught my interest' and indeed - Mod "A" - needed mod "B". So I did go to mod "B" and sure enough -- Mod "B", needed Mod "C" ... but it did stop at "C". I also did not bother getting Mod "A", because of the need for "B" and "C" as I really did not want to start down that path. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyvexthorne Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 It's your basic 'kid in the candy store' type of mentality. With every new game you get those new to modding and when something is new and free, we all have a tendency to want it all. 'I'M GOING TO EAT ALL THE CANDY!!" Modding is a learning process and it just takes some time (and probably a lot of crashes and re-installs of the entire game) before people figure out that they actually don't need to eat all the candy in the store..

Some of those mods A though, are really cool and FUN.It is a PITA to get the B/C/D things going, but, sometimes it is worth it. 1 mod like that, not so much a problem, it's when you're up to double digits with them that things get...'interesting'.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cossayos Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) I like to help out at steam community hub for the game and then when the call for help topic person posts there specs, it's a laptop with a dual processor and they only have 4gb of ram and they swear the just played New Vegas with a solid 27-40 fp on the same laptop , source http://steamcommunity.com/app/377160/discussions/0/358415738209607256/?tscn=1467222111 note the ops steam nickname Don't forget, NV stresses the system less. I played it for a while with an onboard card before deciding to buy a real one. Granted, not at it's highest settings. But it's from 2010, built for 2010 hardware. 4 GBs are more than sufficient to run FNV. With my not overly strong card, 8 GBs, I can max out the settings and load the most appealing texture mods with no problem. But I'm honestly at a loss, FO4 doesn't seem to make use of all available cores anyway. Edited June 30, 2016 by cossayos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjb54 Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Another case in point: Last night a fellow game player, PM'd me. Her computer was running "seriously and really really really slow". I asked for a screencap of her mod list. Wow, is all I could say. She had about 30+ home mods, "because they were just so awesome"Question: "How many of those home mods do you actually 'live in' even for 1 FO day?" "Oh, when I'm in the area, I go in and walk through and admire it." My response: "But how many do you actually actively 'live in' for even a 24+ FO Hours?" " Well my home in Sanctuary. My home in Diamond City. My home in Goodneighbor and a home in a couple of Settlements." It came down to 4 - 6 homes, that all but 1 were a MOD. I suggested that she list them on the Common Wealth Real Estate Market and sell them. (Remove them, with the obvious cautions about removing any mods.) Funny I got a happy / sad PM this AM. "I did it and yes, my game is now running faster. :( I really liked those homes, but I did not realize just how much they were affecting my game. Thank you for your help."

sampuppy Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I keep overloading my computer and screwing things up... I just... keep wanting to prettify things too much... My character, npcs, and especially the world. Mostly my character and the world though. Obsessed with my character, and making the world as vibrant and overrun as it should be 200+ years after the war... So constantly stressing the system with mods that make the land more conquered by nature... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjb54 Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 I have to admit ... I quit going to Steam. I was pretty active in the Skyrim Mod / Forums. A few us started to get annoyed as we were being "hit for help" and then cussed out because they did not like the answer and/or we did not answer right then and there. . o O (so what if we were not even on-line. We were suppose to know they needed help!) :P Oh well ... I'm glad to help but I've learned when to draw the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
