There is a Wabbajack for FROST! FROST - Below Zero Fallout 4 Wabbajack Modlist The FROST - Below Zero Fallout 4 Wabbajack Modlist made by St1ck2k is also based on the Below Zero guide, and only is a plug&play version of the guide. No additional mods included. Perfect if you want to modify FROST to your needs and want to tinker around, or if you are happy with a decent but small setup.
A note about Nexus Collections: The Frost Development team explicitly does not endorse or recommend any FROST Nexus Collection!
We noticed that many people who tried to make a Frost Nexus Collection have no idea what they are doing, resulting in collections with broken, rendundant and conflicting mods and wrong load order, and even broken scripts. These collections have many conflicts and issues, performance problems and do not provide a balanced and well-thopught out experience. Additionally, none of them are actively maintained and they are often outdated.
If you want to make a Nexus Collection, please make sure that it follows all rules from the Below Zero guide!

Note about the "Next Gen" Update FROST only works properly with the downgraded version of Fallout 4, for the following reasons:
Many mod authors who made F4SE mods decided to only provide support for the downgraded versions
The Next Gen version of Fallout 4 has severe bugs, including FPS issues if mods are used that edit many NPCs. FROST edits many NPCs.
The general consensus among the modding community is that the downgraded version has the best compatibility with many essential mods
Many mod authors can not upgrade their F4SE mods properly due to engine level changes
This is a very simple explanation, it might lack some nuance, I don't want to post a wall of text here and go into more detail about the situation.
hey, i get fatal error during initial game loading screen. i have downgraded 1.10.163 ver. of the game. did every step from the guide. my load order- pastebin.com/ZkW4qzxt and bouffout log- pastebin.com/qzCiJTJz i have no issues with launching and playing the game without frost mods (so with bug fixes, important, ui and light mods mentioned in below zero guide). only red triangle in mo is under unnoficial fallout 4 patch (missing masters related with cc- deleting them was necessary to downgrade). uve said it is possible to play with downgraded version so thats probably not the cause. or is it? i somehow messed up that downgrade? but i have that 1.10.163 signature in main menu and can launch new game
Please read the sticky posts above: From what I can see in your description, you messed up, and that is entirely unrelated to FROST. We had other people downgrade F4 and it worked fine with the guide. Your " only red triangle in mo is under unnoficial fallout 4 patch (missing masters related with cc- deleting them was necessary to downgrade)." comment basically already shows that you messed something up here.
I do not give support or help for the time being because people will not downgrade properly, install the wrong F4SE versions, or do some other things that I can not possible debug without losing my mind.
Keep in mind that if you follow the guide, you have to download mod versions which were released before the 25th April. You clearly didn't do that for the UFO4P mod.
You are on your here, I simply do not have the time or motivation to help people. If you are unable to set things up properly because you don't know what you are doing, please just wait until the situation cooled down and the modding community (including me) updated everything you need.
Yes, that is possible, but this nexuspage is not the right place to ask for stuff like that as this falls under "general Fallout 4 modding questions", and we don't provide much help or support with that here. You could also have answered your question with a simple internet search btw.
If you downgrade your Fallout 4 instance, you can make a proper FROST setup.
We will update FROST and the Below Zero guide when the community has identified all quirks and issues of the update (there are quite a lot of them atm).
No, but we will update it. We don't know when exactly though, it depends on several other factors like the F4SE updates, xEdit updates and how long it will take to patch the new content of the upgrade.
hey naugrim04, would you fix some issue with FO:DUST, especially the dmg on power armor? in FROST, power armor is a bit OP but not OP if you know where to find one but in FO:DUST, power armor were rather not so tanky against small caliber round unless humanoid enemies shooting at you with .50BMG AMR or 5mm rounds. I feel like there is a lot of issue with DUST
Naugrim stopped working on DUST a long time ago, since then several community made add ons add new stuft, bug fixes and balance fixes.
Please contact the mod authors of those newer dust mods, they are still actively working in those mods. You can find the authors on the DUST section on the FROST Discord.
Do not contact Naugrim directly for such matters please, he doesn't work on DUST anymore.
That is not true. The claim that UFO4P breaks quests is a rumour, if if you experience issues with UFO4P in any modded Fallout 4 setup, than it is related to the order of your plugins or because you have a mod conflict between UFO4P and another mod that touches the same quests (or you broke your save file by for example removing certain mods mid-playthrough).
Additionally, FROST plays 5 years after the Great War, while the vanilla game plays 200 years after the Great War. For that reason, 99% of all quests have been deactivated in FROST.
As mentioned in the description, FROST is a freeform survival overhaul, with less focus on quests, and more focus on exploration, survival and gameplay difficulty.
There are some quests in FROST, and a lot of locations/characters/notes/journals/terminals that are connected, as well as visual story telling.
Damn what i would give for a mod like this but in Vanilla Style so that there is no incompatibilityes with mods and you could do side Quest and Have normall Diamond city and ability to claim Settlements like in Vanilla game. :)
A "vanilla version" of FROST would certainly still conflict with many other mods, conflicts arise from mods editing the same things. You would still have to deal with many incompatibilities with other mods.
You can also still claim settlements in FROST, I'm not sure why you think that this isn't possible.
Frost Plus also adds several quests with voice acted dialogue, and there are several small storyline told by notes and journals, you can usually follow clues mentioned in those notes to find other interesting locations.
Tbh, what you are describing sounds like you just want to play the vanilla game, because you don't really mention any aspect of FROST that you want to see outside of FROST xD
There are several damage and gameplay overhauls, as well as snow texture mods, that you can use to make a experience similar to FROST, with all the normal vanilla quests.
Yes but as far as i know mods that enhance settlements with stuff to create or mods like SS2 are mostly incompatibille though im not totally sure. I was thinking something like Vanilla Survivour sandbox and remove only main quest which is totally boring. As im somone who enjoy settlement building and exploring,survyving. Also that a lot of weapons are not compatibille is a bit of dealbreaker to me. But i will still give Frost a try so far i did die in first encounter to a stupid wolf which may be discourage to new player.😀 Also i belive that if only main quest would be remove than the compatibility would not be as such big problems as it is in frost sence Frost changes dmg and lot of other stuff or atleas it would be easier to create compatibility patch for such mod. I will still give Frost a try though i do like the idea but it looks hard from what i played first.😆
There are Alternate Start mods for that already I think.
There are tons of weapon patches: https://redawt.github.io/f4-frost-guide/weapons.html FROST is set 5 years after the Great Nuclear War, the vanilla game is set 200 years after the Great Nuclear War. FROST does not only just remove the main quest, it changes the setting completely.
Yes i know that but i have to ask what about compatibility with mods which adds stuff to build in settlement mode. I mostly mean mods like renovated furniture or mods qhich adds more type of reasources to the workshop. Are these ok to use or i shoud be consern about them ? I have not seen a topic on this anywhere around frost so im not sure here. Also sorry i did not lnow that the patches are somewhere on Github i would have never find it out on my own.🙂
Settlement mods that only add new settlement objects are usually compatible, but not balanced for FROST (=they add items that allow to get certain things too easy, like water and food). FROST has a schematics feature, which means that you have to find schematics in order to build certain settlement objects (like generators). Unpatched settlement mods often add such similar objects which you can then built without schematics, which is a balancing/progression issue.
Settlement overhauls, like SS2 or mods that change settlement scripts are often incompatible or need a patch. SS2 is too big to properly patch, and should not be used.
Ok thanks i was not sure about it. I dont mind if something gets build a bit easier at the end its mostly only furniture and decorative stuff and i do play SS2 on my normall profile so that is quite fine for me. Also yes you are right i did find 2 mods which try to do Vanilla like sandbox survival. But 1. Change every Human NPC to ghouls so you have no traders and Diamond City is full of ghouls and not have even a side quest. Totally pointless mod. 2. Is mod which yes delete main quest but it is pretty old and Requires start me up original and people do report a ton of issue with that so i do rather stay away from it. So yeah beside Frost there is no Vanilla like survival sandbox mod which would be actually good and would not touch things like damage and would not adding other stuff on top. Though im still now in on how you are forced to use malle build in Frost its totally annoying im the gun guy :D
I also think you missunderstand the term "survival sandbox". Fallout 4 is by default a survival sandbox already.
Maybe you should join one of the modding discord servers or other online forums, this isn't really the place to ask for vanilla-ish survival mods xD This comment section is about FROST after all.
Anyway, good luck finding the mods that offer you the experience that you want! :D
You dont get me i do know about Start me Up Redux. But that one mod that uses it use old version of it which is requaried. And yes i did join other servers no need to make an idiot out of me.😆 I do modding from the time when Skyrim was realesed. And yes i onow we didnt had to talk about it here.😀
Hey, the mod was cool but not really my style, I felt that fo4's clunky game mechanics didn't lend its self to precision melee very well or precise shooting for that matter. however the time i did play it was entertaining to see all the new armor and items added. Anyways finally to my main point is there a separate mod for just the armor that adds it to vanilla leveled lists. If so, plz drop a link I've looked and came up empty handed
About the melee: It isn't that hard once you learn to move accordingly and to observe NPCs properly. About gun accuracy: You need accuracy perks like Rifleman to use guns better.
There are around a 20 armor mods integrated into frost and its official development, so you neee to be a bit more precise about what armor you are talking about. Keep in mind that some of the mods might not even be available anymore.
Some of the armors are from Raider Overhaul, Winterized Gunner Outfits and the Raider Gasmasks mod. Tou can also check out the credits section and go look up the mod authors that are mentioned there

It seems Bethesda liked the concept, gave it a little pinwheel to spin and called it WINTER OF ATOM, the Fallout 4 prequel
Wish it was a real game instead of a D&D-style shite roleplaying rulebook, but the lore dump was unreal

and bouffout log- pastebin.com/qzCiJTJz
i have no issues with launching and playing the game without frost mods (so with bug fixes, important, ui and light mods mentioned in below zero guide). only red triangle in mo is under unnoficial fallout 4 patch (missing masters related with cc- deleting them was necessary to downgrade). uve said it is possible to play with downgraded version so thats probably not the cause. or is it? i somehow messed up that downgrade? but i have that 1.10.163 signature in main menu and can launch new game

The load order checker of the guide also checks for know incompatible mods and warns you, so I recommend letting it check your load order if you plan to add mods on top of FROST: https://redawt.github.io/f4-frost-guide/normallo.html#automatic-load-order-checker
I dont mind if something gets build a bit easier at the end its mostly only furniture and decorative stuff and i do play SS2 on my normall profile so that is quite fine for me.
