Fallout 4 Balanced Modding

[RobinHood2005]

Sorry to bother y'all, but I have a question to ask.

 

Before, I have had over 300 mods enabled at one time, which resulted in me experiencing enormous FPS drops and numerous glitches, which I have made threads about in the past.

The following are my specs:

 

i7 7700k

GTX 1070 Asus Turbo

G Skill Trident Z 16GB 3200 MHz

Asus ROG Strix Z270E Gaming Motherboard

 

Can someone with some time to spare make a list of mods that I could safely installed the maximise both visual beauty at ultra settings, as well as performance? I'll be playing at 1080p resolution.

Thank you. If I have not provided enough information, please ask.

 

Again, thank you for reading this.

You can have visual beauty, or performance, but, not both at the same time. :) Just the way it goes. Not to mention "beauty" is in the eye of the beholder. :D

 

Best bet is to look at visual mods that change what you are looking for, and add them one at a time, and see how bad they beat up performance.

Awww, shucks. And here was me thinking that, with a GTX 1070, I could do whatever I wanted. Why can a man not simply mod his game and have fun with it without issue? It honestly sucks the fun out of playing the game sometimes, with the troubleshooting and all. :(

 

But yeah, I'll do that. I even have a plan in my head. Thanks anyway pal, have a good one.

Well, you do have a pretty significant vid card, and processor, so, you can actually do quite a bit before it even STARTS to affect performance. I you start adding a bunch of 4K textures though, those will beat you up right quick. :D

 

I run on a 1060, at vanilla ultra, and just turn off GodRays, lense flare, and the game runs great. And I only have an AMD X4 965 black..... (3.4ghz) Your processor is much more powerful than mine. :D

YES, BEHOLD THE POWER OF MY CPU! :laugh:

 

But seriously, does turning off god rays and lens flare make the game look ugly, or is it still good-looking? How many mods do you run, if any at all?

I have a 1080 and even I suffer horrendous fps drops and stutters with Fallout 4. My processor is old and tired though, so I imagine that doesn't help. I also run heavy mods like Sim Settlements.

 

That said, even with a Murderboss Deathking tier rig, you may still experience issues. The Fallout 4 game engine is poorly optimised from what I hear.

I run 80 or so mods, but, none of them are to make the game pretty. Mostly game-play changes, or adding items to the game. (and the workshop menus....) Turning off 'pretty' features does indeed improve performance. I just turn off the stuff I don't really care about.
