Best "Happy Ending" Mod?

[ExcessiveParanoia]

So I'm essentially new to FO4 (only got it mid last year and never got much past "Reunions" due to getting involved in another game while waiting for F4SE to update after the CC update) and new to the Fallout series as well. I'm in the early stages of a new attempt at making it through the whole game, but I already know that I'm really not looking forward to the absolutist "They can't live if you choose us" main story decision. As a result, I've been looking for a mod that allows for some sort of peaceful coexistence, or at the very least gives real options like everyone but the institute or everyone but the BOS. I can see through searching that there are some options, but I really don't want to have to play through multiple endings to find the best one, so I'm hoping that some people might chime in here and give me some direction as to which is the best mod for the situation.

 

Thanks

 

PS: I know the obvious answer is just make a save before the decision and go back and play them all, but I've been RP'ing this game (i.e. keeping a journal and letting the timeframe extend out months longer than it actually needs to), so I fully expect a full playthrough of the game to take me between 500-1000 hours and I really don't think I'm going to have the commitment to do the last half of that 4 times...

Uh.. well... never heard of such a mod and the reason is quite obvious. It's a hell of a lot of work to accomplish such a task, since you are going to make decisions somewhere in the middle of your playthrough that influence the affinity between you and the factions as well as the affinity between the factions themselves.

 

It's a BGS game in the end, thus it has a very limited amount of choices and possible endings to begin with. That and the fact that (not only) the papyrus engine is far from robust would mean that someone (or more precisely a lot of someones) would have to invest a lot of time to rewrite a lot of stuff. I don't think that anyone is willing to undergo so much pain.

In the end it's the only realism we get in these games today; in a world full of different opinions you can't make decisions without pissing someone off unless the game developers intended this outcome to happen.

this is the only way I've come across

if your wanting to keep all companions alive, note

you need a mod for to keep danse alive or as a companion

I made 2 mod more than a year ago that help keep all factions active:

FO 4-FA (Four Factions Alive) for Institute-Minuteman-RR - BoS

* in the same mod donwload page you can find one aditional file for keep all

FarHarbor Factions alive too.

FO 4-ANWGA (All Nuka World Gangs Alive) for All NukaWorld Factions

Personally I have played more than 3 times the complete game without major problems, the majority of people who report problems is because they tend to install more than one different mod that alters those same factions or settlements.

The only thing I can do about it to ensure that the mod works properly is that they actually leave my mods at the bottom of the list so that the modifications made to the game prevail over others made by other mod that could trigger conflicts.

snikegear, I went to check out your mod, but you've hidden it. Is there any chance you'd put it back?

 

I feel your pain about the slow downloads, but I think it's supposed to be 1 mbps, not 0.1. At least, that's the speed I'm limited to as a free user. It takes a while for big mods, sure, but eh.

 

Anyway, if you change your mind I would love to check out your mod. :-)
