uberoter Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hi all I saw the nuclear winter add-on and it looks great and exactly what Im looking for. I am however a stranger to how this kind of modding works in fallout 4 so I thought I would ask for some guidance before making a mess of things. I play grand prix legends on a side note so Im not a complete stranger to modding and adding stuff. And I need help with the HUD framework that is required to get nuclear winter to work so in short , can someone explain to me how to install first HUD framework and then 2287 nuclear winter? It would be most appreciated and many thanks in advance. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Welcome to Nexus. :) I would recommend grabbing one of the mod managers, setting it up, and installing the mods with the manager. (Nexus Mod manager, Mod Organizer 2, or Vortex....) Manager isn't really a requirement though, as both mods are pretty simple installs. Have a read here. There is some hoop-jumping involved in getting the game ready for mods. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberoter Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Many thanks , this was very helpful and I got it all installed without any fuzz. Much appreciated. Do I have to start a new game for nuclear winter to kick in? I have the darker nights mod and dont know if this is in conflict with NW. I could make the nuclear winter holotape and activated it and everything but nothing seems to happen and in- game its late november. Thanks again.

HeyYou Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 On that, I don't know...... Mod description should talk about it though, if it's necessary. In all reality, when changing/adding/removing mods, starting a new game really isn't a bad idea. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberoter Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Well I got it installed but its still not activating in - game. Maybe Im missing some other stuff. This reminds me of gpl and Im gonna keep tinkering. Any advice would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Which one isn't working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberoter Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 2287 nuclear winter mod is not working. I downloaded the mod manager and installed first the hud framework and then the nuclear winter mod. Everything seemed just fine but nothing happens in--game. Started a new game but still no nuclear winter. I keep reading about something called "fo4e" or similar as something that is needed but I have no idea what it is. I know this process from gpl so I didnt expect it to come all that easy either , gonna keep tinkering and educating myself and somewhere down the line Im gonna get it to work.

uberoter Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 This is a quote from the troubleshoot thread of NW. "So to everyone having issues with this. check to make sure you have f4se installed completely, specifically make sure you added the data folder from f4se. I hadnt played FO4 in 2 years and forgot to do that. Once I added the data folder from the script extender the mod started working again." What is "f4se" as its mentioned here in this thread?

HeyYou Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Fallout 4 Script Extender. Funny, I didn't see that in the requirements..... You can get it here. Be sure and get the correct version that matches your game version. Installation is a simple drag and drop. (once the files are extracted.) I *think* they have an installer version for it as well...... (upon re-checking, nope. No installer version.) Check the readme. It'll tell you what you need to copy. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberoter Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Thank you again my good man (or woman). Downloaded and executed as instructed in the readme , the game starts and works well but still no nuclear winter. So Ive installed the nexus mod manager and with that Ive updated the f4se and installed hud framework and the 2287 nuclear winter mod. But still no winter in-game. I also added the thing to the .ini file in documents \ fallout 4. So Im scratching my head a little here as everything is green across the board but no winter.
