    Don't forget to endorse!!
    Do NOT scan further ahead on the document than you need or you may spoil it for yourself!

    4estGimp's Random FSD Patches to help compatibility between FSD and your second favorite mod after FSD

    Total cheat fun stuff: 'coc aaMStoys' for some cool mod-only weapons and armor. 'coc aaMT' for my FX testing room.

    A few rules for the comments section:
    1) No spoilers!! -
    Spoiler comments will be summarily deleted without warning or explanation.
    2) No unconstructive criticism -
    Those comments will likely get deleted as well, maybe, depending on how dumb they are and how much they make me laugh.
    3) This comment section is mainly for mod help.
    Critiques that turn into a long grievance listing exactly what was in the content warning and take over entire f'ing pages of the comment section will be removed (or even overly long favorable critiques). I'm tired of legitimate requests for help getting buried under novellas. This is getting old. Keep it short, sweet, and constructive. Give gamers a good name: be polite, especially to the VAs.
    4) Unconstructive criticism of VAs will be deleted and the author blocked from this mod - I can take your abuse to a degree - god knows some of you guys are really testing the line, but I won't abide toxicity towards those who freely donated their time to the completion of this project.


    IN CASE YOU MISSED IT IN THE MOD DESCRIPTION, HERE IS ANOTHER WARNING:

    FSD CONTAINS "THE BLEACHERS"
    YOU DO NOT WANT BOTH INSTALLED SIMULTANEOUSLY!!
    For those who have never had Bleachers installed on current game:


    Install away like you would any other mod. See the "Quest Start" section for just that. Skip "A Diamond City Story" with the holotape in your inventory if you would like to get right to FSD

    For those who have Bleachers installed but never finished it on current game:

    
    I know a lot more now about quest writing and programming than I did when I started "The Bleachers: A Diamond City Story". I have changed some of the earlier data in those quests to improve stability. Quests do not like having certain types of data changed mid-run. So before you update you either need to finish the Bleachers organically (running through the quests), or finish The Bleachers by using the holotape shortcut. Then you can safely uninstall Bleachers and install The Fens Sheriff's Department.
    If you made a mistake, updated too early anyway and baked it into your savegame:
    Use the FSD/Bleachers holotape to skip 'The Bleachers' and start the 'Fens Sheriff's Department'

    NAKED GUARDS?
    They probably spawned before you installed FSD.
    Load an old save created before ever traveling to Diamond City or start a new game.


    How to Download and Install the Textures Manually

    Click on Settings and the Download tab to identify the path to the Vortex Downloads folder.
    Download to the mod file to the download folder just identified.

    A time-stamped vid for Vortex user: General Install Instructions

    MO2

    Go to the folder where the mod was just download and select it.

    * Be sure to activate the mod in your Mod Managers after installing them.


    Here are some basic installation instructions: General Install Instructions

    How to Turn in Bounty Heads
    Using the button outside or using the holotape elsewhere never worked for me, I thought at first maybe it was a time based thing, but time didn't bring back the bounties either. What I found worked was going inside, where you deposit the heads, and then using the holotape to reset the bounties. This made the heads inside disappear, and upon exiting the clipboards were once again filled. Hope this helps someone!
    -Cloud665

    Also - there is now an option in the holotape if needed.

    How to Equip PA if an NPC is Only Using a PA Frame

    1) Face the NPC.
    2) Open Console and click on the NPC.
    3) Type "openactorcontainer 1" to open their barter menu.
    4) Click on any piece of PA armor not worn and press the "T" button to equip it.

      I'm a big fan of the companion, but I'm biased. I'm glad you're having fun outside of the mod. I'll send this comment to their VA - it'll be appreciated.

      I hope people start to realize just how much content the companion has for the vanilla and DLC quests/locations.
      *cough*

    Hi there, mod author here.

    Users have successfully managed to make me avoid the comments section of this mod for weeks on end, even months. You should be congratulated for that - particularly the repeat visitors. I get it, you dislike the mod so much you keep coming back here months later to smear it again and again and again. Thank you. The only reason I'm not locking the comments section is because Pickysaurus convinced me it was better for engagement.

    I've been drawn back into this cess pool by people JAQing off, inferring I've placed SS insignias in the mod. This mod has been accused of being 'woke', 'fascist', 'right wing' AND 'left wing'. Make up your god damned minds people - this is why online discourse is and should be roundly mocked.

    Anyone who knows me online in the unvarnished mod auther servers knows a) I'm as antifa as they come - I'm straight, I LOVE rainbows and girls with short purple hair, and b) Your repeated negativity in this section has ensured there are no more Munky mods coming. That being said, now that I've been forced to bring my politics up, I'm ramming them back down into the depths and isolating them from modding and the people who actually like my mods as I always have. Apologies to anyone who didn't want to or need to read that.

    Either make your accusation OUTRIGHT and UNAMBIGUOUSLY with screenshots AFTER you look at the AC/DC band logo, or stop the JAQing off about your perceived antisemitism in the mod.

    The Fens Sheriff's Department - Diamond City Expansion Patch causes game to crash when trying to load any save. i Loaded a new game save after exiting game and it CTD. I loaded an older save with it CTD.

    Am I allowed to ask for hints on the Book Fair quest? I've used the FSD holotape, and while helpful still leaves me with a lot of questions. So far I've only got Fens Sheriff Comic # 1, 2, and 4.

    Firstly, absolutely loving the mod. I had been this invested in a story/quest mod since New Vegas Bounties 1-3, and looking back at it, this mod is way more fleshed out and sensible than New Vegas Bounties ever was. Anyways, I'm trying to do the Book Fair quest for Luna but I can't for the life of me find the Glowing Ghouls comic or the Turrets manual. I've searched 15+ areas with glowing ghouls and haven't found it. Same goes for turrets. At this point, I wouldn't mind a hint or just an outright answer for where they are. Thanks.

      Search the Ghoul-filled house in Fairline Hills for the Glowing One book. And for the turrets book, it's in Barney Rook's bunker in Salem.

    Anybody got a guide to finding these books? Also can you finish Doctor P's Nuka World sidequest if you already finished Viva Nuka World? That changes the interiors.

    Hello,
    This mod is killing my fps. I have average 100 fps, with this mod on I have 30-40 fps in Boston downtown...

    Am I doing anything wrong, or could it be a loadorder issue? or something. Is it normal, that his mod is tanking the fps...??

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Not sure if anyone else has had this happen but while doing Shishkebob quest 4(One at slog) there is an issue where the synth component is not on the body. also when I go to turn in Shishkebob 5 Delano seem to be missing. Using set stage got me past both issues easily enough but figured i would mention them anyway

      You're probably using diamond city expansion. Open console and press tpc to enable pre culling

      NO - do not toggle TPC as a "fix".  That should only be used as a diagnostic plus disabling preculling hits your FPS.  DCE works fine with FSD.  You do have some load order issues within DC though.

    Hey monkey and team. Thank you guys. I love this mod, and Lilly. I enjoyed the story a lot, and came to enjoy spending time with our chars. I hope one day we see another mod from you, sorry about the bad apples, and know you all did a great job.

    Would love to check this mod out, how well does it work with America Rising 2? Endings could conflict, don't know if anyone has tested the two out.
