Fallout 4

[Moth]

Wow that looks beautiful. =O

Yeah, it does. It will also require a Titan X in order to run it at playable frame rate.

[Ruin]

It works just fine on a 980ti.
Problem is, there's other mods that do this more effectively. This is all one shade of green.

So how's everyone enjoying Survival mode?


I really love it. I decided to ignore the main quest and most sidequests because i don't want to play as the "Most important person in the Commonwealth" again. Unlike my other Character, Diana Cross.

The story is as follows, Five years before Diana Cross exited Vault 111, a wastelander David H tries to survive a cold winter in The Commonwealth along side his wife and pet dog.

Currently, David and his family reside in the Taffington Boathouse. He leaves his wife with the dog whenever he is out looking for resources.

I avoid all things that might ruin the timeline that i created between David and Diana. So anything that i did or will do on my main character, i will avoid with my survival character. This means i'm ignoring all the factions and most large settlements such as Diamond City or Goodneighbor.

I went to Bunker Hill but only to trade and do small favors in exchange for caps. I don't go around asking to much about everything, since my survival character isn't new to the Wasteland.
During David's story, General Becker of The Commonwealth Minutemen died recently. The Minutemen aren't as active as they were. The Brotherhood Of Steel are for the main part still in The Capital Wasteland, however there are traces of them here and there in the Commonwealth. The Railroad and The Institute are present but things aren't as heated as they will be in five years, after Diana gets involved.

David is just a regular wastelander trying to survive. There will be no traces of him or his wife in five years. His dog, Dogmeat will eventually find his way to Mama Murphy.

But for now, just survive.

I came across this mod by accident by clicking the guy's/gal profile to see what else they modded and they had a mod that changed the power armor frames and suit into a companion, and so you can have headless power armor following you around backing you up , haven't tried it out, I'm not into custom companion mods!..

I'm liking it so far, only two problems.

 

First problem is the damage you receive for being over encumbered, seems pretty silly, especially if you like to exit power armour when talking to people.

 

My second problem is the lack of information you're given about your current status. In New Vegas, you had sliders to determine how tired, hungry, thirsty, etc.. you were, kinda like how you check how much radiation you have. For example, in New Vegas you could have 200 H20, a bottle of purified water gives 100 H20, so you'd know that you had to drink two of them to no longer be thirsty. But in Fallout 4, it just tells you "Dehydrated", "Mildly Dehydrated" and then you have to consume water to get rid of it, but you don't know how much water as it gives you no numbers. I'm still not sure if alcohol or pre-war food helps your thirst/hunger because it doesn't give me any information, which is pretty annoying.

 

EDIT: Also, nice screenshots and what's the winter mod?

That's like Division agent

[Target13]

I'm using the Winter Season from Fallout 4 Seasons.
To give that Harsh cold winter feel, i used the console menu to change the weather to foggy. (fw 1c3473)
Screenshots inside Spoiler.

 

I personally don't like the sunny weather with this mods. It makes the environment look more forgiving and bearable.

I also tried the Nuclear Weather: Snow Only mod but i still prefer the vanilla fog.

EDIT:
For anyone wondering, The Prison Jumpsuit from my previous post is from this mod.
Raider Overhaul WIP v.9.2
EDIT2: For more immersion, play this in the background:

Seeing those photos makes me so excited to for mods on Xbox. That snow mod, and gear mods both looks sweet as hell man.

[Sir Michael]

I'd love to see a snow mod also, but I don't know if an Xbox or a PS4 can handle a retexture of that scale without having a performance drop. I could be wrong.

 

I would like to see a mod that gets rid of that weird character lighting. There's a console command on PC that turns it off, but it would be pretty nice to have the option to turn it off on consoles. It's pretty immersion-breaking to see people magically lit up in dark places:

 

 

Something so simple makes such a huge difference.

If it just replaces the textures and doesn't change the actual model and up the texture resolution, consoles should be able to handle it fine. Also yeah, that console command is pretty nifty.

Is there a mod that allows you to still get achievements while using mods? I wanna finally get some mods in, but still have some achievements to go, and I heard once you turn mods on it will create a new save so that you can't just turn off mods and get achievements again.

Here you go: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12465/?

 

Just a quick note it requires F4SE which I personally haven't downloaded yet but I have used previous iterations for other games such as Fallout 3, New Vegas, and I think Skyrim. http://f4se.silverlock.org/

[chronic lumbago]

Just letting you know, on betesda.net you can already favorite the mods you wanna play so youcan download them on console when the mods update comes out.

[Craigsters]

The modder of frostfall for skyrim Chesko has moved over to Fallout 4 and created this for Fallout 4 Conquest - Build New Settlements and Camping by Chesko

 

 

His mod is competing for file of the month at nexusmods as well, you're able to make up to ten additional settlements, the names of the settlements where chosen by the mod author unfortunately, you can't name them!..

Yeah, added it to my favorites along with about 25 other mods. There are 500+ mods available on the bethesda website.

It cant be that easy can it I never would've expected that console players will be able to play with mods.

[luisniko]

Queued myself the Ballistic Weave mod. Not sure if it makes everything BW-able because the point of the mod is to make the game has 2 ways to get that feature.

[Shadowfennekin]

So, I decided sometime after Far Harbor comes out and I complete it fully.

I'm scrapping my BoS character, and remaking him in Survival Mode on my Xbox One.

And I'm going to have my character act like a BoS member, hating Synths and mutations. And choosing anti-Synth options of dialogue. It's going to be hard being mean to Nick as he's my favorite companion.

Plus the Vertibird grenades are a crucial part of Survival Mode. Can haul you around from one corner of the map to the other with fast travel disabled.

And shoot the Railroad on sight once I find their hideout. I heard you can actually do that and complete the Railroad decoding thing anyways so I'm going to do it! After saving in Bunker Hill first cause Glory has a minigun

[Craigsters]

Owe I seen this the other day SuperMutantFurniture by m150 the modder said he's from Japan, and he doesn't speak English, his AutomatronSecuritron mod is doing good to at nexusmods site too

If it ends up being Catherine (Nadine's mother) who sends us there, I won't be surprised. The plot sounds very similar to Point Lookout's.

Looks great!

But I literally groaned when "Please find my daughter!" was said......

 

 

 

So the Children of Atom will be playing a big part of this story

 

Hoping we still get more companions, to take home with us. None of that limited edition crap where you only have them for awhile

[Ciaran]

Fallout's 1.5 Update is also expected to be released this Friday for PS4 & Xbone.

Fallout's 1.5 Update is also expected to be released this Friday for PS4 & Xbone.

My 1000000000 rounds of ammunition are ready for the new survival mode

HELL YEAH!!!

 

But am I the only one here who thinks the island looks Commonwealth-ish? I was expecting it to be more greeny and bluish.

In case anyone looking for the freaking date they didn't put in the trailer. They have it on the Youtube page description.

Hey look, we're looking for another child! Bethesda writers must've had some real parenting issues.

[chronic lumbago]

Hopefully we can ignore that whole daugher thing. And also I hope we can take any companion from Boston with us to see different responses to the new quests and world. So far, Nick and Dogmeat are pretty much confirmed,

[Sir Michael]

Looks interesting. Might have been a sea monster, but it looks like there was a gecko in the trailer at the :52 second mark. I'm assuming XB1's mod support is either coming this friday or with Far Harbor since there's no official word on the subject other than "coming in May."

They have a real itch with protags finding family members. I guess it's not as odd as a 19 year old looking for their dad.

[Craigsters]

I tried to make camp with Conquest - Build New Settlements and Camping by Chesko inside the U.S.S. Constitution ship, but the campfire wouldn't place indoors or inside the ship, so I guess my plans to make the U.S.S. Constitution a settlement are not possible, I tried doing this after completing Last Voyage of the U.S.S. Constitution quest of course!..
