Fallout 4

20/06/2019

This Article will be used as a Database for all mods suggestions you have for people that want to know in short what i think about certain mods. They'll be sorted alphabetically. 

Green Mods are Compatible and even Recommended.
Red Mods are not Compatible or Highly not Recommended.
Yellow mods are never being tested by me, but they could be Compatible or not. You can still Risk to install those with no Major issues.

Attention:
- These decisions are coming after a big amount of testings on them if (Green and Red ones), in 95% of the cases on their latest versions, so i'm quite sure what i'm saying of course, but they could even be just 90% accurate to their being mods and even for having an heavy modded setup that works but of course reacts different than playing the mod alone with a vanilla one as probably intended by all authors. So take these suggestions just for the most important mod list, not as an ultimatum of the mods themselves, that probably on no modlists would work perfectly.
 - Also Every mod that is recommended, includes even their requirements if needed, and a proper installation of them that i won't say here because of otherwise taking too much time and space in this page, and still the correct procedure to install such mods with requirements and such are always told in the official description. If not, instead of doing mistakes, you can always ask in the posts section, or in the comments here, or on discord, to be assisted on installing them.
 - Keep in mind that every given decision is taken on the mod alone how it reacts with the mod list. Of course pay attention that it's possible that 2 green mods you see here may be incompatible with eachothers or need a workaround to work together. This is also because of time and even cause of space, but as said above if you have doubts just tell me. Installing all green mods for example is not recommended, just because they are green.

    @biraitbec:
    I would avoid mods you mentioned not to install, but you did not add versions of these mods, so many of them have updated versions after 20 June 2019. Example: Looksmenu has since a week ago updated version. So, still avoid to install this mod?

    And some mods you mentioned not to install are still outdated (like Functional Displays). This mod makes nothing but problems. I really do not understand why some authors say we have to/should install it. I used this mod earlier many times and I had almost everywhere in-game crashes.

    And: You should make your list up-to-date (and it's OUTDATED since more then one year!).

    Good day, I just went through the 10 step process to installing a fresh FO4. I just looked at this page, is it ok to install mods even though say it says "install after step 4" when I have allready done all 10 steps? Would I just set the load order for the esp after the last one in step 4?

      You mean crime and punishment right? Yeah was also wondering about that and Advanced Needs. They both seem promising.

    Another heads up: despite BiRaitBec's warning, there's a patch now for "Keep Radiants in the Commonwealth" and "UFO4P":
    https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/46146

    The page also includes a patch for the Radiants mod and "Configurable Minutemen Radiant Quest Limits And Fixes"; but I personally don't use the latter because I've got a feeling it causes issues with certain important radiant quests not unlocking (like Oberland's radiant that's required to own the settlement).

    Update: Do NOT install the ENB textures with Transfer Settlements. It WILL cause script lag problems that result in your settlers being unassignable, not to mention potential CTD when placing food items in Workshop Mode. Either install one or the other. This is not a coincidence; I've tested this extensively by restarting my game several times now with clean saves devoid of any other mods. It's definitely the ENBs causing the problem.

    On the same note, I feel that if you don't have a powerful PC, don't install Sim Settlements alongside ENBs as well, particularly Sim Settlements: Rise of the Commonwealth and its city plans. It has also caused me crashing problems, albeit only after I upgraded Sanctuary to Level 2.

    And finally, don't play your game in Borderless Windowed Mode if you want to use the ENB textures; doing so will, for some reason, cause the textures not to load properly the way they should, resulting in very ugly low-res textures. Go fullscreen all the way. It has worked magnificently for me that way. Just a shame that I have to abandon these wonderful textures because of the problems they cause. I'll just have to settle for Vivid Fallout instead and hope it doesn't cause me similar problems.

    Can you tell me what you think about this mod
    Pack Attack NPC Edition - Gangs With Group Combat Tactics = https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/30140
    Also can I use Atomic Radio by itself? I'm not sure I understand this "Use only one of both."

      I've never used Pack Attack so I can't help you with that. But Atomic Radio works perfectly fine on its own. And by "Use only one of both", he was referring to Tales from the Commonwealth and Boston FPS Fix.

      Pack attack NPC (PANPC) is an outstanding mod.
      I did a whole season with PANPC. I'm in the process of a full rebuild specifically for that mod.
      If you want an overview, take a look in my Season 5 episodes. It's designed for Ultra Hardcore Combat.
      I could write a novel on the many improvements PANPC makes to the AI. I was running 200+ mods with no conflict. I use it in conjunction with AGONY and Better Locational Damage.
      Here's the link for the whole playlist. Any questions, feel free to ask. Greslin and I keep in touch. I playtest PANPC/BLD/AGONY/SURVIVAL to the extreme
      Fallout 4: MK_Agony Modded TAC Survival Season 5
      https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfwWy4rrOgMXurWmlPaOxCt3UcN-nGK7l
      Some of the earlier episodes will give you the best feel. Without equipment, PANPC can be exceptionally lethal.
      Hit me up with any questions.

    I think I'll uninstall Better Locational Damage mod because it make many mods which I really want as incompatible. I have completed all the steps, is it OK to uninstall it just as along with bashed patch? Is it OK to start adding green mods after last step?
