Fallout 4

The FallUI series installation guide

This guide describes the full installation of all FallUI series mods.
All FallUI series mods are highly modular, so you can install just the ones you like. All packages are built conflict-free as far as possible for easy installation. So you shouldn't have much problems while installing them.
But people asked me how to install all and in which order or if there are some specific procedure. So this guide will cover that.

Mid-game installation
If you going to use this on a new game, you can skip the "Mid-game installation" section.
All FallUI series mods (beside the Item Sorter) can be installed mid-game without problems. You can install/remove them at any time.
The Item Sorter is a special case, because all Item Sorter have the drawback of saved weapon/apparel item names in your savegame. A mid-game installed Item Sorter won't damage your savegame or quests, but the saved previous item names still exist in your savegame. This will affect most weapons and apparel. However, there exists simple methods to fix this (Drop and retake the weapon/apparel fix it for most items. If not, change the weapon/apparel at a workbench. If that also don't work, you can simply add/remove the tag via "rename" yourself)

Installation

  • (Optional, but recommended) Item Sorter - You need an item sorter if you like to have item categorization and item icons
  • Install FallUI - Inventory - Install using the default options
  • Install FallUI - HUD - Install using the default options
  • Install FallUI - Workbench
  • Install FallUI - Confirm Boxes
  • Install FallUI - Map
  • Install FallUI - Sleep and Wait
  • Make sure you have enabled archive invalidation
  • (Optional, but highly recommended) Increase your Pipboy resolution (Resolution comparison)
    Spoiler:  
    Show
    Open your fallout4prefs.ini (Note: If you use MO2, then your game ini is not in the default folder. But you can just use MO2 for INI edit). Change or add those both entries to the following:
    [Display]
    uPipboyTargetHeight=1400
    uPipboyTargetWidth=1752

    For gamepad users: Warning - If you apply the new resolution, the virtual mouse cursor in the Pipboy map becomes locked to the upper left area. So you should not use this. Possible workarounds:

    If you want to use it anyway, there is a possible workaround:
    1) Turn off gamepad
    2) Then open Pipboy map via TAB
    3) Turn on gamepad
    Then the mouse isn't locked to the map region. It isn't perfect, but at least you can reach anything again and have high resolution.

    Alternate workaround: You can use FallUI Map. That mod allows scrolling the map with the DPAD. So you can reach most even with the limited
    locked virtual mouse cursor area.
  • Install Mod Configuration Menu. (It works without, but you won't be able to configure FallUI in-game)
  • Done!

Load order

Important: This list includes optional mods in [Brackets] for completeness. These [mods] are no requirement. So if you don't have it, just ignore them.

  • [Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch]
  • [AWKCR]
  • [TruBy9]
  • [def_ui]
  • [VIS-G]
  • [HUDFramework]
  • [Horizon]
  • [Mod Configuration Menu]
  • [Icon Library]
  • [OLD FallUI Item Sorter Mod]
  • [OLD FallUI Item Sorter Mod - Extra: Radio Tags]
  • FallUI - Inventory
  • FallUI - HUD
  • FallUI - Workbench
  • FallUI - Confirm Boxes
  • FallUI - Map
  • FallUI - Sleep and Wait
  • [NEW FIS basic naming file or your custom Complex Sorter generated patch)

Always remember: There are two "load orders":
  • 1. The plugin/esp load order (right side in Mod Organizer 2, plugin order list in Vortex)
  • 2. The mod file priority load order (left side in Mod Organizer 2, managed by before/after-rules in Vortex).
Check both lists to prevent unwanted overrides.

Note: The FallUI series mods are built as conflict-free packages. So despite some rare exceptions (like the Item Sorter), they don't need a special load order. Just make sure, they don't get overwritten by other mods!

    您好制作人,首先,非常感谢您对 Mod 的质量改进,这极大地增强了我的游戏体验。我真的很喜欢它。但是我不知道为什么在我的游戏中使用这个模组时会出现错误。当我打开一个死人或柜子时,物品列表后面不可避免地会出现淡淡的绿色,覆盖了我的屏幕。但是,当我将鼠标移到对象上时,这种绿色消失了。我找不到解决方案,所以我想亲自询问并希望您能帮助我

      The most parts should be working in your language without any additional mods. For the MCM and FIS you need to install the corresponding translation mod. See the translation section on the mod pages to find those.

    Yes I have been using VIS-G and Def_UI together for as long as I can remember playing and modding this game, recently decided to switch to this so I did a fresh install and did the whole FallUI series instead. I gotta say, this is far better than I thought it could be! Thanks for all the work that went into this, amazing. I do have a question: with my previous setup I could see how much an item would heal me for in my pipboy inventory, like on the healthbar it'd show lightly how far a stimpak or food item wood heal me on the health bar. Can this same thing be enabled with this mod? Oh, one last thing, I am using the FallUI map and high res 8k satellite map, now all my computer screens in game are white instead of green, which I am not a fan of. I think I have the Pipboy FX disabled using that one optional plugin from one of the mods, so maybe that's why. These issues are minor and very tolerable though, just wondering if anyone knew or could point me in the right direction as to where to find these things/settings and somehow change them, IF possible? Thanks in advance, and thank you again for the work that went into this amazing mod!

      Just install the preset with your mod manager. The new layout should appear in the MCM menu for FallUI HUD in the Layout subsection

      No, sadly the quick loot list is limited to max 5 entries by the game engine.

      That addon is contained in the FallUI HUD installer. Just check it in the FOMOD installer!

      The message box should be upgraded by FallUI - Confirm Boxes. Check the mods installation and make sure no file is overwritten by another mod.
