new to modding. heelo

hey i just started playing fallout 4 again and its like my third playthrough. So beginning out i noticed alot of things this time that i didn't before. First of all i'll tell you a bit of myself, im australian, and my favorite types of games are witcher 3 , fo4 , skyrim . and some blizzard games. Yes even that money hungry company deserves a mention.

 

Anyway. Playing fallout 4 again. I got to level 3 and i was like.... OK.... i cant do this again especially not on survival something feels missing. The combat is just not fun as i rememered. And why do shots the face never barely do anything? So then i thought... mods.... yeah.... so i did some modding before with skyrim it seemed pretty straightforward i got pretty well everything working flawlessly. It was just a matter of clicking some stuff and drag and dropping. More visuals, check. More companions, check. Did some minor tweaking nothing to major. Right now I'm leaning toward skyrim actually being a better game than fallout because the combat just feels a lot more complex. First of all you can block, that felt like a major difference, the melee fighting just feels way more advanced than FO4. You have a mixture of magic and melee and spells and shields. In fallout 4 its just guns and more guns. I have never seen a reason to play melee. Why does fallout combat feel so limited? You just basically sit there like a bullet sponge at times soaking up damage. Theres no way to hide behind cover, other than standing behind it and hoping its enough. Why is VATS even implemented in the game? It feels like the company should of made a choice either its turn based or its real time. Skyrim was pure real time that's why the combat felt so nice to me, this game is a hybrid with cheesy real time elements.

 

Not to bash to much on this game , but I felt I needed a major overhaul. My ideas for fiendish entertainment.

 

#1) Bullet damage has to be more realistic, playing on survival should not mean that I have to pump 100 more rounds into my opponent, it should mean better AI or more advanced enemies so I needed a rebalancing of the damage system. Such as more targeting damage to major limbs and a smaller modifier to player damage. (realistic damage mod)

 

#2) Sim settlements ( nuff said)

 

#3) Some way to tweak the combat further, riot shields , no vat system ? (no ideas yet)

 

#4) No lock picking. Wtf. Please. At least a bash option. For my third playthrough it just feels tedious like really.

 

#5) Unlimited ammo

 

#6) Better sneaking

 

#7) More companions or unlimited .

 

So as you can see the base game needs MANY mods. And well I drag and drop them to the folder listed and they don't seem to activate like skyrim did, or even morrowind. So thus I downloaded fo4 edit to try to compile them or merge them or something. I put clicked all my mods and put apply script hoping it would make them work, and so far it is on 55 minutes of please wait... applying script.... feed back please??

It sounds like you just need one mod to make the changes your looking for and I can personally endorse, it makes a massive difference to the game and feels a lot more like a survival game! Horizon
