    -This is No longer a solo project, but a team effort.
    -We are Unpaid.
    -We do this in our spare time.
    -We share this because we love Fallout.

    I personally (Thirdstorm) have an insane amount of time in the rebuild and am directly responsible for 2/3rds of the new content, and effectively 100% of the ESP as it was rebuilt from scratch.
    There could be issues but it's been tested heavily.
    Short of long, the bug stops with me when it comes to errors, but we are a team.

    If you find issues, post comments, include details, and we will address them.

    -The Flame Animation will not trigger for 2 weapon upgrades, it's on the To-Do list, but rather than cut it and never fix it, we left it and will get around to it, but holding up the mod for it would have been silly

    -Brush Axe upgrades are coming, small hiccup in final production, but we decided to go ahead since so much was ready.

    -How should I update to SMR 2.0?
    Spoiler:  
    Show

    The same way you should update ANY mod with a name change / major update warning of incompatibility with previous versions...
    Fully Uninstall SMR 1.x
    Load Fallout 4
    Make a Save
    Exit Fallout 4
    Install SMR
    Load Fallout 4
    Win.

    -Is the patch from mod XXXXXXXXXX compatible....

    Show

    For the 17th time, unless the patch was created after 08/19/2018, using SuperMutantRedux.esp as it's foundation, no, it is not.

    The rear head is missing from the SuperMutant, WTH!?!?!?
    Spoiler:

    What part of none of the patches or mods touching Supermutants before did you not understand?
    Ok, let us break it down for you.

    Part of what significantly improved the performance of SMR was rebuilding the NPC's from scratch, and while doing so, Exporting their "Facegeometry" which is effectively "PreCombines" for NPC's.

    We broke off the "Rear head" from the SuperMutant body, to make it easier to build and export FaceGeometry, and also make different and unique skin textures (some are still coming) and do it without impacting the Exported NPC faces.

    This means there is a NEW headpart on every "Traits" NPC SuperMutants pull their data from.

    If you have an NPC Edit below SuperMutantRedux, that looks like this...

    you have a problem, and will likely see SuperMutant's missing the back of their heads (and you'll also likely have some performance issues...

    OMG there is a SuperMutant Triggerman, FIX THIS BUG!!
    Spoiler:  
    Show

    For God(s) sake if you bloody read the FAQ and the Change notes, as I've asked Dozens of times, or bothered reading other comments you'd see this was intentional.
    And FFS it's lore friendly, so stop complaining about it... SuperMutants have been Mercenaries in the past.

    OMG Behemoths don't instantly attack me.... What the hell ?!?!?!?!?
    Spoiler:  
    Show

    Please... Please take the time to read the articles and change logs, we write them for good reason....

    Short of long Behemoths are SIGNIFICANTLY harder now, as they should be... In other Fallout Games they were end bosses or entire BoS Squads in Power Armor would take them on, and take losses... in Fallout 4 some SuperMutants were tougher than they were...

    To balance the increased difficulty, they start Neutral, as you are beneath their notice, but are Allied to SuperMutants..
    Attack them, and they will respond in Kind, and Likely turn you into a fine red mist if you don't use tactics..


    How do I format the Nexus posts like you? (Links inside words, Spoilers, etc:


    -Load Order?
    Spoiler:  
    Show

    Downside of Fallout 4 is no 2 load orders will be the same but let me start with a couple thoughts...
    -DO NOT DEPEND ON LOOT, MOD ORGANIZER etc to sort the mods correctly
    -DO NOT LET MOD ORGANIZER make a patch for you, IT WILL BE INCORRECT

    Beyond that I suggest checking out the two links.
    1)FO4 Load order and enhanced performance by Cybertard
    Good tutorial, it's one of the resources I used to learn the game.

    2)Armorsmith Extended by Gambit77
    Even if you don't use ArmorSmith Extended Gambit77 usually had a well sorted and tested Load Order.

    Last... Specific instructions...

    Which Version should I download.... Standard Def or HD-DLC???

    Ok... Quick Breakdown..
    HD-DLC requires a different sized texture for "FaceGeometry", the Exported Face files that act as "Precombines" for NPC's.
    Do not download the HD-DLC version. if you don't have the HD-DLC installed

    FYI After uploading an ESP it can be more than 2 hours until "Download with ModManager" is available. Don't be a Noob and post "I can't Download"...
    If you can't wait, click on "Manual Download" at the top right of the page.

    A small heads up, in case anyone did the same mistake that I've done:

    I've made a clean save to update for the new version (or so I thought), but I've forgotten to remove a Super Mutant Axel Helmet from my inventory before updating the mod. So, after the not-so-clean save, the helmet would only appear at the Armor Crafting Menu, or when transferring items from a Container, also, the helmet wouldn't be removed at all from my inventory (trying to scrap it wouldn't dismantle the item, and I would still receive the crafting materials, trying to transfer it to any container wouldn't do anything, no item would be transferred, also, if I renamed the Axel Helmet, a new version of it would be created at my inventory, while the old version would be multiplied by millions [no kidding, it would appear that I had over 4 millions weightless axel helmets on my inventory]).

    Using player.inv or player.showinventory console commands to try and see the item ID to delete it via player.removeitem would cause a instant CTD. Using player.removeallitems would work, but would remove many important items on the process (quest items that can't be removed from the inventory). I even tried player.removeitem with the overall ID of the item (by using help axel 4 armo), but it wouldn't work.

    So, I've seen a tip from someone with the same bug on a very different item, and it worked:

    1. I've spawned a new Super Mutant Axel Helmet with player.additem ID 1 (when using help axel 4 armo, two different ID's would appear, one would spawn a S.M. Axel Helmet, the other would spawn a Light or Heavy Axel Helmet, the later was the correct one to spawn)
    2. I then went to a container, and transferred the newly console spawned Light Axel Helmet to it
    3. The older bugged Super Mutant Axel Helmet disappeared once and for all, the new Light Axel Helmet was transferred correctly to the container

    Hope it helps anyone! Remember kids: do a proper clean save, I thought I was 100% clean, but forgot about a single helmet on my inventory.

    This mod has some really cool aesthetic additions for the super mutants and hasn't given me any real technical issues so far, but the damage sponging might seriously put some people off. I ended up going back to vanilla muties for the sake of not feeding them bowl after bowl of ammunition. The additions really are cool tho, it's just a shame that every fight with them feels like a chore and just isn't fun on the harder difficulties. In short, bullet sponging doesn't equal better enemies but the Nightkin do look badass so I guess its not all bad.

      A reasonable solution for sure, but wayyyy too complex and impractical for the average user. It's just super intimidating to open up a program like that and see so many values. Looks like you could break your game with a few wrong adjustments and then not know what you changed or how to fix it = Delete your whole install and reinstall the whole game and your mods from scratch. That's a big no-go for most.

      It's all fun an games until you find 5 standard super mutant with 250 armor and not even the armor piercing ammo from DTF takes them down, they still die from a single headshot if they dont have any helmets (assuming you have BLD installed anyway), but they are sure waaaay too tanky even in high level

      I have my config setup so that enemies do 4x to me, and I only do normal damage back, and even with 150+ weapons the NORMAL super mutants were still tanking shots as if I was firing sub-20 damage pea shooters.  I had to uninstall the mod because of how immersion breaking it was.

      The developers needed to sell a product and make sure their creation was balanced across millions of items.

      In comparison, this mod is a tiny change to the game and breaks some balance.

      But yes, it beats the original.

    Hi.

    Is there a way to make the Mutants armor loot free?

    I hate the fact that I at lvl 1-3 am able to kill a mutant, taking his armor, that’s too big, dressing me up looking like a barrel, and having +50 in armor right away. 
    So many mods, both here in FO4 and in Skyrim, is in my opinion destroyed bc of to much good loot early in the game. What’s the point to struggle with Armorer perks when you can kill a Supermutant, loot his armor and getting armor that has better armor defence than you normally have at lvl 50?

      This is what made me come back to this mod page. The loot is asinine. Was looking forward to this mod too
