Haha. Although I have to admit FO4 is more stable now than any of Bethesda's previous titles. I haven't had a CTD on my second play through yet and I'm level 25 now.
Yeah, well, give it time. I'm level 253 and the game CTD's about three times a day. No joke. I want this mod but I'm having second thoughts about whether it's a good idea, with that in mind. Maybe better just to self-impose a rule that I load no saves that don't have a mattress in the thumbnail.
After using this for a few days I have yet to get a CTD actually. The game seems really stable now, I'm sure you can make it less so if you use a crap ton of poorly written mods though.
So I'm playing as close to the Fallout 4 New Survival mode as possible. Not allowing myself to fast travel. Have a mod that doubles damage on survival: I do 2x more, they do 2x more.
Set out from Starlight Drive-In. Plan was to make to Graygarden. Explored Super Duper Mart... plowed through a bunch of ghouls. Picked up two amazing Legendaries: an assassin pistol and a wounding laser musket. In 300+ hours over several characters, I'd never seen such well-itemized legendaries for me. I get cocky. Plow into Lexington, shooting everyone I can find.
Get to a small raider community. Thinking I'm hot s#*!, I take half of them out... tracking the last two who were hiding behind cover. One steps out. Just as I'm about to shoot him, I see the rocket launcher. He hits me dead on with it, instantly 100-0ed me. My jaw slacks and I sit there for 30 seconds in shock as my character reloads back in Starlight Drive-In. No awesome legendaries. 30-45 minutes of work gone... I'd been so blinded by my good fortune, I'd forgotten that this all wasn't set in stone until I'd rested.
Moral of this story: THIS MOD IS AN ASSHOLE... and I endorse it.
And now do that with a playtime of 6 hours, without saving in a bed. I've downloaded and endorsed it only for the purpose that some ppl are faster as Bethesda. But the whole idea isn't something for me. (reminds me on Gothic times! I started a playthrough and died after 8 hours, without saving) The only good thing is, you will never f*#@ up a savegame with a large amount of mods. And you are able to replay without bad or unclean mods.
Works as advertised. Good preview of how Bethesda might implement this and good to get used to it before hand (I keep pressing the menu button and A out of habit and it no longer does anything.)
Already had a couple deaths that made me think and plan more tactically than I'm used to doing especially since I'm also using Immersive Fast Travel. Do I cross the river from my last sleepytime in Bunker Hill to get to Diamond City, or do I head toward Cambridge instead to cross there? It also makes you think in terms of "how much daylight do I have left?" because with Darker Nights, True Storms, and Arbitration you do not want to be caught outside in a storm at 1am.
Stability hasn't been an issue. In 500+ hours of playing this game I've had maybe 2 or 3 CTDs.
Huh. I don't have the balls to use this mod quite yet. I'd really hate to hit a bug and loose an hour of progress. Though I bet if you REALLY wanted to, you could put actual Bone Fires around the maps and every time you use one, it'll save your game but respawn all the enemies. Except boss types. The Bone Fires outside could be used as the only fast travel points too. Just a thought. That I would totally go for.
In my game I set the timescale to 1:1 and then set the cell respawn time to 1 hour so that sleeping actually respawns cells just like bonfires. Its actually really fun and honestly I have had no issue with CTD or losing an hour of progress since beds are more common than you think. Just clear out a house or small area every so often and you'll be fine. Also getting all the settlements helps a lot as they become free save areas.
Sorry i have a different opinion and like being able to save my game whenever i want i'll most likely wait for a mod that will allow me to save normally again to play the new update i think everything else is perfectly fine with it but never the less this is still a great mod for people that like that idea i'm just not one of them
Hey, you stealing job from Todd Howard's code monkeys, you just released half of upcoming massive update that they worked several month! [/sarcasm] Not my cup of tea, but good work, made me smile.

Good thing Bethesda games are famously stable and no CTD would ever interfere with seamless roleplay in this one.
Bethesda Games are never clean or stable in all.
