If I knew then, what I know now...

Hiya Everybody!

Have you ever been kind of reluctant to try out a particular mod, and then kicked yourself in the rump for not doing it a lot sooner?

 

I put off installing LooksMenu for like, forever. And now I honestly can say that I don't wanna game without it.

 

Maybe just a couple of weeks ago, I finally got around to putting in ESPexplorer. OMG so much easier testing out mods now!

(Cheaty as all heck tho) :D

 

 

What's some of yours?

I would definitely have to say my biggest hindsight mod is South Of The Sea. I overlooked it for the longest time because I figured it was just a relatively small expansion - boy was I wrong. The sheer amount of detail on new level designs grafted seamlessly onto existing locations in the Glowing Sea floored me. Honestly sometimes it was hard to tell if certain areas were in the base game or not. The variety of interior cell designs too made me constantly change my play style, as I progressed through various locations the cell would drastically change in design and combat the further I went. It kept me guessing for sure. Very well done mod!

I put off Looksmenu for a long time, too. Just seemed like it would be super complicated and unnecessary - but boy is it nice! And not complicated at all.

 

My most recent hindsight mod is gonna be Depravity. I never knew what the mod was about. The name plus the random thumbnail pic made me think it was just a small-time derp quest. But it completely opens up the main story quest! Changes it! I've already got several big quest/faction mods that change up big sections of the game, but Depravity fits in nicely right at the start of the game. Now I finally feel like I can finish the entire game without ever touching the vanilla main story - unless i choose to.

 

This thread made me aware of ESPexplorer - and hoo boy, i needed that! How did I never know about that mod!? It's so good! I am no longer at the mercy of mods that need to be disabled then re-enabled when starting a new game, otherwise you just don't get whatever item you're supposed to get. (Here's lookin' at you, CLO remote and FO4Hotkeys and Outfit Switcher and Koraks Sit Disabler...) This is huge.

 

Guess now i'm just gonna list my fav little mods. Lootman + Throwable Container + Store All Junk. They work perfect together. Lootman hoovers up all the items you want it to, you throw a container, and one-click store all the junk in it. And unless you toggle Lootman off, the container will stay there long enough for Lootman to re-hoover all the items back out of it. Makes loot-handling niiice and smooth.

 

Also super fond of Buy Building Materials Anywhere. It comes with 3 items/modes. Three chems - each one opens a different shop window. One that just sells crops/food - One that just sells junk components - and most interestingly, One that sells any item you want it to. You sell 1 of whatever item to the shop, then a second screen prompt comes up asking how many of that item you want to be stocked at all times. No matter what the item is. Shops reset every single time you re-open them. Each one starts with zero caps, so you can't only ever break even using them. Just an all-around super useful mod. Extremely simple to use.
