This is beautiful looking work and your vision for it is lovely. I went through and fixed what I could. I literally learned how to use the CK fixing this, so it might have its own issues. Nuka World and Far Harbor required. The crash in the Dugout Inn should be gone, all deleted references and navmeshes were taken care of, the navmeshes themselves were flattened where needed and missing door references should all be fixed. The pre-culling you'd get when looking through the lattice/railings should be gone. Shimmering walls in the Schoolhouse now with 95% less shimmer. I noticed that, in-game, all the hanging clothing in Fallons were in the floor. I edited those meshes to fix it. If you find they are floating now instead, replace the Clothesrack folder with the one from the original mod. All precombines and previs information were regenerated. The whiskey and fan in the Mayor's office refuse to move for me, maybe they'll fare better for you. The leather jackets hanging above the racks in Fallon's disappear at certain angles. Testing was limited to me dragging Piper around a game with just the DLC and unofficial patch. I get about a 12 fps drop staring into the heart of DC (which was already about a 15 frame drop in vanilla). Any other angle nets a sold 60 FPS.
I set it aside for the moment, while I try to get the CK to play nice. I'll take a second look today and see how it behaves. If and when I get it to work, I'll post here.
Thank you so much for this. I always wanted to use this overhaul but the bugs scared me too much to use it. I know there still are issues but at least much less than before.
I have extensively fixed everything too and made a bunch of changes to boot. Don't forget to remove the pile of trash in the water at Sheng Kawolski's place in order to make his quest completable or just move the miscellaneous item buried in it (don't delete, it's a quest item). Also there is a dude stuck in the wall beside the bar in the Dugout Inn - move him too if you haven't already.
Note for the mod author: Never. NEVER modify base items as it effects EVERY instance of that item in the entire game. Either duplicate to your own unique forms OR add properties to each of the references that you intend to modify. This is especially apparent with material swaps used on walls and paintings, found mostly throughout the Dugout Inn, which now appear on every game reference where an override doesn't appear on the instance reference.
@Mycenia: You should not need NW and FH though - unless you have added objects from those DLCs? Regarding performance, in the CK, go to the World menu and precombine geometry for the Diamond City world, then save the plugin and rebuild precombine visuals. Interior cells usually do not need precombined visuals (just regular visuals) but the geometry relates to the physics records - some of the existing ones are bad and may need to be manually deleted when checked in xEdit. Also make sure the Home Plate exterior trailer and exterior balcony area are navmeshed.
Sorry for lots of edits. Bad pain day and I am still half asleep.
Good stuff, you saved my broken save game. Advice for people who are getting missing textures, install the main mod and then apply this patch over it in the data folder.
Hi LONEzy, great work on this mod. Would you allow me to port it to xbox with all the proper credits and pleasantries? Really want to see if it can be stable alternative for the console crowd.
First off, I love this overhaul and want to keep it. However, I was wondering if anyone one else experiences things disappearing at certain angles and/or distances? For example, trees, chairs in the bleachers, the entire back of diamond city (Meaning houses behind all the shops and water area), and random clutter (which I like) designing the buildings.
I love that this makes DC feel like a long established settlement. Vanilla DC feels like it was just built months ago, with piles of trash everywhere and pieces of wood slapped down to make walkways. Would love to see a modern rebuild of this mod.
It's a shame this mod is not being developed any more, or at least fixed. It has great potential, but is extremely buggy. Diamond City itself is okay with the patches, however the surrounding area, The Fens is completely glitched. Oh well
Only problem now is compatibility with The Bleacher's - A Diamond City Story (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/40267?tab=description) whereby the caravans are blocking the walkway up. Can't disable them via console either, if someone could make a patch that would be much appreciated!
