READ the Description; I know it's long, but there are many details of note.

Changelogs
BLUF: No affiliation with Community Fixes Merged; is inspired by the mod though, hence the name. 
Although in comparison, this mod (CTM) may feel more like duct tape solutions for some "fixes" :) 
Many aesthetics from CTM have been moved to: Lightweight Lighting Extended instead. 
Many retextures from CTM have been moved to: Targeted Textures Extended instead. 

Introduction: 
---------------------------------------------------
  • Why? Streamlines 70+ mod downloads, with less headache, BA2s, loose files, and conflicts. 
  • All of the mods imported have either open permissions or a direct request was approved. 
  • In addition, I've made a decent amount of fixes and tweaks of my own across the board. 
  • Due to the nature of this mod, it will NOT be opted into Nexus' donation points system. 
Compatibility: 
---------------------------------------------------
  • Many of CTM's features are delivered via Robco Patcher... 
    - However, NextGen Robco Patcher is not currently stable... 
    - Run CTM on OldGen or downgraded NextGen via Simple FO4 Downgrader. 
  • Load this mod after Leveled Item Fixes (LIF) and New Equipment Overhaul (NEO).  
  • Always run this before PRP / PRP Lite / Boston FPS Fix / Previs mods in your load order. 
  • Is compatible with LIF, otherwise possible conflicts with changes to vanilla Leveled Items. 
    - Such as these mods: Capped Out, Loot Logic, Looted World, many Loot "overhauls".

- Removed unnecessary Local Leader 2 requirement to build Crafting stations 
- Simple edits to make collectable Model Robots placeable on Bobblehead stands 
- Unlocked the Vault-Tec guard posts (3) since the base game only has 2 options 

Game Settings / Global / Interface:
- Artillery ranges MinArtilleryRangeMinimum (0.5X) and MinArtilleryRangeMaximum (3X) 
- Console menu enabled during Survival Mode; necessary for issues and "stuck" moments 
- Jetpack movement slightly improved, can go on longer (no animation issues identified) 
- No DOF from aiming down sights via Game Setting (fIronSightsDOFStrength=0) 
- Power Lines adjusted via Game Setting (fWorkshopWireMaxLength=11000) 
- Terminal Display Rate adjusted via Game Setting (iTerminalDisplayRate=1200) 

Ingestibles / Misc Items:
- Damn Apocalypse's empty chem containers (and only those) for immersion purposes 
    * Includes an optional plugin, "Immersive Crafting": crafts to require empty containers 
- Give Me That Bottle Rehydrated by SoleVaultBoy - as a framework, with return adjustments  

Leveled Items: 
- Adjustments to the following align with what they should actually contain:
    * Cash Registers, Chem LLs, Component LLs, Explosive LLs, Food LLs, Footlockers, Fridges, 
    * Junk LLs, Mailboxes, Medkits, Mirrors, News Stands, Safes, Toolboxes, Trash Bins 
- Creature LLDs (death items) will only drop what makes sense for wild creatures 
- Gunners, Minutemen, Raiders, Settlers have a much wider range of clothing in LLs 
- Ingestible LLs adjusted with more options, better logic, and balanced appropriately 
- Lunchbox rare LLs will drop Robot Model [Activator] variants for some small immersion 
    * Credit to Glitchfinder for helping me verify this wouldn't cause potential issues 
- Mini Nuke parts (4) from base game records and added to safes and steamer trunks 
- Robot LLDs (death items) have been extended to drop appropriate ammo and junk 

NPCs / Quests:
- Adjusted signal range of transmitter for Fire Support quest (start trigger) down to about 1/3 
- Another Vault 81 Molerat Disease Cure by DoubleYouC 
    * Reason: it makes no sense that you can't find multiple cures or develop the same cure again 
    * Additionally, if you're in Power Armor while going through the quest, you won't get infected 
        - Must have ALL Power Armor parts equipped, or the disease can still happen 
- Cats, Dogs, Robots (Buddy/Deezer/Goodfeels) give Settlements bonus Happiness 
- Knight Rhys and Scribe Haylen Dialogue Redux by Parabellum1901 - Quests partial-formed 
- More Locations from Wasteland Survival Guide Issue 5 by Temetra

- "Treasure Hunt" Random Encounters removed due to game-breaking bugs and lousy results 

Projectiles:
- Blaze - An Immersive Molotov Overhaul by DeathByPewPew - using Robco Patcher 
    * This mod nerfs Molotov's initial damage and adds durational damage to balance them 
    * Also, I further adjusted damage of this mod import; reduced by approximately 1/4 
    * Instead of a fear effect to humans, I extended the list to also affect small DLC creatures 
- Blinding muzzle flashes for Lasers and Plasma weapons have been removed 
- Grenade Sound Options by DoubleYou - using Robco Patcher 
- Fixed and overhauled all throwables: Explosions, Projectiles, Sounds, Weight references 
- Maximum range and speed of projectiles have been adjusted accordingly to the type of firearm 
    * EX: Shotguns with the lowest, most with mid-range, rifles high, lasers/plasma highest 

Community Tweaks Merged (Full version): 
---------------------------------------------------
Spoiler:  
Show

Aesthetic edits, which are intended to be Vanilla friendly: 
- Cappy's Cafe Corpse Cleanup by tenhats - no gore & clutter - PRP friendly 
- Cola Machines - Working Fans by robotized - aesthetic fix 
- Diamond City Lights by Donskie62 - spotlights visible from far distances 
- Fallout 4 - Hot Coffee by MunkySpunk - aesthetic fix 
- Gloomy Glass - All transparent materials revised by SpringHeelJon 
- Visible Sun Flare by CrunchyBiscuit007 - aesthetic fix 

Gameplay edits, which are intended for Balance / QoL: 
- Marowski's Chem Lab Stash by mooglechick - quest / location enhancement 
- Proctor Teagan sells more Brotherhood Armor by Zorkaz - Cell was partial formed 
- Prydwen Food Vendor by Macrophobic - no chef hat; Cell was partial formed 
- Versatile Balanced Ballistic Weave by zowrath - some adjustments + MK4 Ballistic/Energy 
- Weave requirements are completely removed, as it's an inconsistency to equipment progression 
- TL;DR -- better aiming, gamepad compatibility, less sprint stutter, smoother mouse sensitivity
    * Merged variant of the Movement Type Form record fixes and tweaks from:
    * Congruent Sensitivity by HellFrozenRain - included all changes 
    * Gamepad - Input by Anro19 - only the INI settings for Gamepads 
     * RAW INPUT by IceKK - can optionally install for the sensitivity FOMOD options 

Annoyance / Removal / Subjective edits: 
ALL of the mesh "performance" changes point to an empty mesh... 
NONE of this affects precombined meshes, so this is vanilla / PRP friendly   
- Fog Remover - Performance Enhancer II by Glass1411 
    * I didn't use the Cell record changes as those edits cause conflicts with other mods 
    * But, I did use record changes such as: Art Object / Moveable Static / Static 
    * Instead, I recommend: No Interior Fog by GELUXRUM; F4SE-based / won't override Cells 
    * I kept animated leaves, steam, and unique smoke effects as those thematically make sense 
    * A verbose explanation of what was removed in detail without touching Worldspace: 
        - all distant object 'clouds' that appear in front of distant landscapes 
        - all distracting fog effects that appear/disappear with camera movement 
        - all variations of dirty footstep dust from all creatures of all sizes 
        - most fog / mist / smoke effects that appear around water, coastlines, and Cells/Worldspace 
    * NOTE: I did not remove Far Harbor's or Glowing Sea's fog effects, just minor adjustments 
- Glass was removed from cars, with the idea that glass succumbed to various forms of weathering 
    * To complement the idea, I recommend: FlaconOil's Complete Retexture Project 
- Glass was also removed from the following: 
    * Capsule windows, Diner windows, News Stand, Parking Meter, Park Saucer, Subway windows 
- No Door Animations - Instant Doors by Bunslinger 
- No More Barnacles by Aurelianis -- very buggy nuisance 
    * Barnacles in settlements can kill settlers randomly, as well are buggy all around 
- No More Halloween Decorations by GoldenS -- clutter/eyesore/nonsense  
- Removed dirt/gross stains and 'fake' puddles via 'Texture Set' records 
    * Credit: Yet Another Cleanup Mod by Aurelianis 
- Stop The Fans by 5133p39 -- as stated, stops nonsensical fans with no power
