This mod organizes and patches many coexisting mods for the Fens area:  Hangman's Alley Expanded, Hangman's Alley Interior Apartments, Wasteland Illumination, Diamond City Outskirts (The Hole), DC Enhanced Security, DC Guards Redux, Fens Sheriff's Department, Crime & Punishment, Fourville, Great Green Jewel, Diamond City Expansion, + Interior mods

Warning
  • Load Order is critical for this list to work.
  • 99% of Vortex users can't run this modlist - LOOT dependent users can't run this modlist.
  • This modlist does not use PRP - it will conflict unless you can control your load order and load it above these mods.



NOTE:  Do NOT use any "Performance Optimization" mods which precombine these mods.  They will create huge load order and previsability culling issues.

Please visit us on Discord:



LOAD ORDER IS KEY.  Well, mod selection helps quite a bit also.  Even though all of these mods are not required, the Load Order must be preserved.  Don't even attempt this list if you can't make your mod manager use this specific load order.

Reference my personal WIP Modlist Spreadsheet to see specific mod separators and load order placement if desired.  ** Warning: Not a Guide. Plus, it can make your head swim.  Color legend is in the upper right.

Those who do not run FSD but prefer to instead run only The Great Green Jewel, DCIR, or Old Bleachers should use my Previous DC Mod Page


Mods that are Higher in Load Order than the main DC/Hangman's group:


00. Tales from the Commonwealth (3.01 in my case) - top of my Quest Mods section.
- DLC Commentary for TFTC v2.5 and up
- CBBE Version of Lola's Dress by Oussebon

1. The Fens Sheriff's Department This mod uses an ESM so it loads very high.
1.1  Download The Fens Sheriff's Department - Main and Plugin
1.2  Download
The Fens Sheriff's Department - Textures - Manually download and manually install the single ba2 version.
1.3  Optional - The Fens Sheriff's Department - Random Encounters Patch
1.4  Optional - The Fens Sheriff's Department - Offensive 4th wall breaking comics


2. (Optional) Crime and Punishment - loaded mid-modlist.  I don't currently run C&P but it is a very popular mod.
2.1 4estGimp - FSD Crime and Punishment - Note: Crime and Punishment can be too script heavy for some load orders. This patch Fixes the DC Security Office front desk area for Crime and Punishment.
       - Optional install FlashJoer's Mojave Manhunter patch if running the CROSS Mojave Manhunter mod.
- Complex Sorter users have an .ini file available:  Mojave Manhunter Complex Sorter .ini

3. Eli's Armour Compendium - breaks precombines in the DC area and conflicts with leveled lists
3.1 4estGimp - Eli's Armor Compendium Edit - fixes precombines and uses Leveled List injection

4. Crimsonrider's Convenient Resources (Food-Water-Power) . Adds a lot convenience for settlement builders at Hangman's Alley.  It has several functions which are all nice but I especially appreciate power radiation from terminals being doubled and powered turrets don't require wires. It's is installed quite a bit higher than the DC mods.

5.4estGimp - Diamond City Outskirts (The Hole Redux) Edit- Stand-alone mod.  Do not install the original. Yes, we are loading it high intentionally.
5.1  4estGimp - Outskirts FSD DC Security Office Door - Moves the DC Security Office wall and door from Diamond City Outskirts to work with The Fens Sheriff's Department or Great Green Jewel DC Security Offices.
6. Boston FPS Fix - AIO
- Loaded about 75% down my Load Order.  PRP does not work with this modlist.
6.1 Boson FPS Fix - PRP Edition - has PRP backports and bugfixes applied
7. Wasteland Illumination - This is installed at the bottom of my Weather and Environment section just below Boston FPS fix.
8. Tales from the Commonwealth Visual Fixes - FOMOD > FIxes and Pre-combined Meshes > ESL Plugin.  It installs the plugin 3DNPC_FO4-Patch.esp
9. Tales from the Commonwealth - Patch Previsibines - installs the plugin 3DNPC_FO4[Previsibines].esp .  It is the conflict winner over Visual Fixes as necessary.


10. Diamond City Ambience - This is loaded with other audio mods a few sections higher than DC mods.  it would be a good practice to quick auto clean this mod in x-Edit.  On my previous DC page this could lead to issues but it does not now.

THE MODS BELOW GET PLACED AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR LOAD ORDER.  ONLY PATCHES GO AFTER THIS GROUP.
11. Location Cleaning Mods - We use the location mod Hangman's Alley Optimized which is near the end of this list.  I no longer run settlement cleaning mods globally but rather pick and choose the locations which matter.  The Deep Clean series has the best features and least conflict of the various location clean-up mods. I use Sanctuary Deep Clean and Remodel plus Red Rocket Deep Clean I then add Settlement Blueprints for those locations.  Users of the full Commonwealth Deep Clean and Remodel Collection should remove the Hangman's Settlement.  It will probably break the location but I have not yet tested it. 
12. Fourville
12.1 4estGimp - FSD Fourville.esp Relocates the Fourville Diamond City Security office strongroom door to work with FSD.
13. Diamond City Auto Close Gate

14.  AWARHERO's Great Green Jewel from his Wix site.  These interiors are amazing.
 4estGimp - AWARHERO GGJ NoDCOffice NoExterior - in files here.  A replacer file to remove Most of the Worldspace group and the DC Security Office.  This makes it compatible with DCE and FSD.
15. - Valentine Detective Agency Clean Up.
16. - Diamond City Vendor Clutter Choose "No Thanks" to the 4 options in the FOMOD installer.

17. Diamond City Expansion
 - - Also consider the Optional Lower Volume patch
     15A. Optional Nude Stripper (choose one) - Diamond City Expansion - Female Body Replacer - regular
     15B. Optional Nude Stripper (choose one) - Diamond City Expansion Nude Strippers (CBBE)
18. The Fens Sheriff's Department - Diamond City Expansion Patch - Links up Grand Junktion with the service chase in the Sheriff's Department. Door must be unchained from Sheriff's side after the quest "Green Zone".
19. 4estGimp - CR-DCAmbience DCExpansion - In Files here.  For Diamond City Ambience users - patches audio regions into DC Expansion worldspace records.
20. Kelloggs Mercenary Home - Reborn
21. 4estGimp - Kellogg's Merc Home - Reborn - Fixed
 - - - Usage note:
 - - - - Make Nick your companion before traveling into Kellogg's home.  Casdin is fine to keep as a second companion.
 - - - - The companions won't immediately follow a player out of Kellogg's home.  Go into Piper or Nick's place for them to appear.

22.  4estGimp - DCES No Security Office Cell - In files here.  A standalone replacer DCEnhancedSecurity.esp from the hugely underrated Diamond City Enhanced Security.  It removes the DCES DC Security Office Cell entries.
     22.2  4estGimp - FSD DCES Catwalk Patch for users of The Bleachers II - Fens Sheriff's Department.  Removes a few conflicting walkways and gets stairs out of a Patio Chair.
    22.3  4estGimp - Outskirts DCES Stairs Patch - In the files section here.  Gives DCES new front stairs to work with Diamond City Outskirts.
23.  4estGimp - FSD DCES and DC Guards REDUX - Intended for use by those who want Diamond City Guards REDUX (DCGR) integration for Diamond City Enhanced Security.  It is a full DCGR replacer file, Diamond City Guards REDUX.esp from Diamond City Guards REDUX to add better stats, weapons, and armor variety to the DCES Vanilla+ Guards.  Future patches will flesh these guys out further. The Diamond City Security from this patch are named "Diamond City Guard".

24.  4estGimp - FSD NPC Records - It patches all the DC Security NPC which FSD uses, back to FSD settings.
** Consider this to be a Fix for any mod which changes the DC Guard records used by FSD such as Great Green Jewel or Biraitbec's Merged Mods - Appearance which contains Varied Diamond City Guards.


25. Hangman's Alley Interior Apartments with Crafting - V2
26. Hangman's Alley Optimized - The MA worked some magic in Hangman's Alley.  It's huge, it's clean, and it can hold a massive settlement at 60 FPS.
27. 4estGimp - HAO WI Street Lamp Restore - In files here.  Restores the Wasteland Illumination lamp posts and lights removed by Handgman's Alley Optimized.
28. Hangmans Alley Optimized - HAIA With Crafting - Patch - from the Hangman's Alley Optimized Page
