Don´t expect as much support or as much community as in the old days. I have a baby now, people have moved on to other servers. I will try to support as much as I can, but it´s still early days, and things are likely to be broken. You´re invited to help out, it´s always been about community for me!
PAYPAL
If you´ve used this guide before, you know what you´re in for.
If you´re new. this is not a collection, will never be a collection. This is hardcore old skool modding, that will probably take you days to complete - beware! There are other more stable modlists out there.
I´m doing this for the challenge, for the fun, and for the community. Check out the newly resurrected Discord server here: https://discord.gg/mXpj4VJPqq
alpha 1 has seen no serious testing, it´s freshly baked and meant as a start for playtesting starting this weekend.
PS, yours have the Transfers Settlement (R5.5 Beta 4).
thank you for creating this extensive guide. I had a quick glance over your new R6 alpha 1 document, and your list has almost everything included what i like to see. There are some mods i don't see, like 'Flashy(JoeR) Advanced Needs 76' , but I might be able to add it myself. About adding more mods, at what plugin count (not eslified) are you already? ....And i didn't see any merges. Are there no mods which could be merged, or are You just not yet at the merging stage?
BTW coming from "MOFAM - An Advanced Guide and Modlist for Fallout 4" and having added A LOT OF MODS to that guide I am currently at 539 active plugins with already 250 esm/esp plugins, so I'm already really close to the limit.
But since there are a lot of updates of mods which require a new game, i'm really considering to start from scratch and go with your guide this time.Or maybe a combination of the two guides.
Praise FO4Edit, zEdit, ZMerge and Synthesis.....
AND...I'm not questioning your choices of mods, or the direction of your guide or your practice of merging or not merging. This is your guide, and you are the boss.
Firstly thank you to Ape for this incredible extensive guide, I can't imagine the amount of time and effort it took to create this, and the amount of people it has helped!
I'm trying this guide for the first time, as a semi-experienced modder (usually just through dumping mods into NMM) but I'm trying this guide with MO2 this time, which I used for FNV and managed ok with. And I want to better my understanding of modding in general. With that, I am having some difficulties on the texture sections, I tried to join the discord invite to ask there, but it says "unable to accept invite" not sure if it no longer exists or if it's a me problem. Anyway, without being able to post in there I wondered if anyone could help;
Section: TEXTURE OVERHAULS AND OPTIMIZATION
It states to "Extract the below texture overhauls into the “patched files” subfolder, overwrite when prompted."
My first question is, do I download all of the listed textures through 'Manual Download' or do I use MO2? (at present I have donwloaded them all manually and extracted the files into the "patched files" subfolder, but none of these mods exist within my MO2 profile, will that cause an issue?)
Secondly, it states that "After having extracted the texture packs into the PatchedFiles folder, you wll have 3 subfolders(Materials, Meshes and textures)", I hand picked out some of the textures that I wanted and left some out that I didn't want, and I am now only left with the following subfolders;
materials
textures
I assume the meshes subfolder would have come from a texture pack that I decided not to install?
This is what my current MO2 profile looks like at this stage of the guide. Should all the texture files be here also?
I hope I've been clear enough, let me know if I need to provide any other info. ?
Thanks in advance to anyone that may be able to provide some guidance. Apologies if this is a noob question, I've only just started to delve a bit deeper into modding so I'm still learning.
2) You only need the textures folder in your patchedfiles (page 27, it should look something like that)
Edit: 2 days now since I started following the guide so far, so good (currently at New Quests and Locations).
Hope my answers were clear or well, if you already figured it out, happy modding :)
I´m sorry if people were disappointed with this. I promised and couldn´t deliver. I´m trying to rectify that now.
This mod guide is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Tried my hand at it myself a while back and failed, but this reflects exactly what I wanted! Thanks for all the hard work!
I'm towards the end of the guide, though, where the community patches, conflict resolution, gameplay tweaks, and miscellaneous replacers are. Unfortunately, I cannot see them in the file archive. Is there any other way to access them?
