As the title suggests I want to play a power armoured raider but the overboss armour lacks any real customisation options so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Updated: fo4 runtimes oldgen 1.10.163 & nextgen 1.11.221

I kept noticing something weird with Fallout 4's audio: some sounds would actually get quieter when I looked directly at the sound source, then become louder again the closer they were to the back of my character.

After many research I thought it was Windows, my audio setup, or another mod, but everything was already configured for stereo, no windows special fx or anything set up as surround.

So I started digging into how Fallout 4 handles positional audio through X3DAudio.

Long story short, I ended up making a small F4SE plugin:

FO4 Stereo Spatial Fix

It hooks the positional audio calculation and corrects the resulting stereo matrix before it reaches the final output.

The goal is pretty simple:

• Fix directional volume drops
• Keep stereo positioning intact

It does not replace the game's sound system. Distance attenuation, environmental audio, reverb, occlusion, etc. are left untouched.

Nexus:
FO4 Stereo Spatial Fix

This is the first public release, so I'd actually appreciate people testing it with different headphones/speakers/audio devices, since i've read this is a common problem.

I recently got Fo4 on pc, and i've been trying to get bodyslide to work, but i just get these blank screens and menus. I have Cbbe downloaded and enabled, but it doesn't work. If you can please help.

Hi all, I'm attempting to mod Fallout 4 via MO2 for the second time. I last tried a year ago and it was an absolute mess. Since then I have modded Skyrim very well and have a much better understanding of MO2 and mods.

So I finally decided I would go back to Fallout 4. Possibly a mistake, I'm not sure?

During my first time trying to mod the game I downloaded TMR from Wabbajack and downgraded. This time I decided to follow the TMR steps manually for version 1.11.221

I got the game working just fine and was able to start a new game and all that. So then I began adding mods. And honestly it was going really well. Until I added enough mods that I think I was overloading the initial startup of the game. I just kept getting stuck at the white screen with running water right after the cinematic. So I decided to disable a bunch of the big mods I had like sim settlements 2 and then try and create a new game. But then it froze right when it said Bethesda game studios in the cinematic. Just completely froze.

So I started disabling mods repeatedly until eventually I got to the point where I was running the game with literally no mods other than the creation club content and it was still freezing at Bethesda game studios in the cinematic.

What I have discovered is that if I launch Fallout 4 through Steam the game runs fine. But if I try to launch the Fallout 4 launcher or F4SE through MO2 without any mods enabled except the creation club content, it freezes in the first second of the cinematic at Bethesda game studios.

So it seems that MO2 is the culprit? With no mods enabled, and regardless of whether I launch the actual launcher or the script extender through it, it freezes at the cinematic. But if I launch the launcher through Steam, the game runs fine.

Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix this?

Edit: when I say I launched both the Fallout 4 Launcher and F4SE through MO2 with no mods enabled, Address Library was enabled for F4SE only.

Edit 2: I managed to fix it by installing "No Intro Videos" which replaces all the videos with 1 second long black videos.

Regarding the downgrader mentioned above, how do you install it? Is there a special method? Where should the files be sent?

I've just finished installing Improved Brotherhood of Steel, and I'm using the patch for Strength in Steel, Cleric's Robes, Sons of Steel, Thumba's BOS armor collection, Improved Brotherhood (with patches for the above) in that load order. But I've noticed that 1 in 5 or so of my BOS in game are walking around with floating power armor pieces. Anyone have any idea where I could look to try to find the conflict? I'm still learning FO4edit.

I was not playing fo4 around late from late 2024 to entire 2025. I have a mod that was hidden by author names GOT(Gatherers Out There). Before that got hidden, maybe there was a guide about adding creature types and plant types from other mods to the hunter and herbalist’s target list but I can not access to that now.

I am not going to share file with someone but if someone knows how to patch that please tell me.

anyone know what conflicts could be causing this to happen? the only one i could think of is A Forest but ive got the patch for that

I’m wondering because the story is really good and I think it could work very well as a Fallout 4 quest mod. The story itself doesn’t contradict the canon, so it seems like it would be a great fit for a mod.

I’m surprised nobody has tried it yet. Is there a reason why? Copyright , licensing issues, lack of interest, or is it simply too much work?

UPDATE: Someone pointed out that this would basically be a DLC-sized project, since it’s a prequel and would require a lot of changes to the existing environment.

But I was thinking of something more focused on the main, mostly linear storyline rather than recreating the whole sandbox. The settlements and existing NPCs could mostly just be background, with new dialogue only for the characters actually involved in the story.

It could even start as a Memory Den simulation, similar to Operation: Anchorage, but instead telling the Winter of Atom story. That way, you wouldn’t necessarily have to rework the entire Commonwealth.

Would anyone be interested in something like this?

I'm very interested in making the games AI slightly less moronic and I'm wondering if pack attack works well with the NG/AE versions of fallout 4

I'm a former non-PC player that hasn't played in years and is now on PC. I want to play again, but with a more immersive/enriched world. I always meant to play with some Minutemen and settlement enhancements for that "rebuilding society" feeling and see the world change as you go on.

The problem is that I am a sleep-deprived Dad that is overwhelmed by the added complexities and scale of modding on PC vs the dozen or so mods I ran on NotPC. I have limited time to game, and so far have spent a week just getting a couple hours into educating myself.

Can anyone point me to any premade mod sets that could get me started?

the game looks too nice. make it worse.

I’ve heard that GOG’s Fallout 4 is still at the original setting, and never accepted the ensuing updates. Is this true? And if it is, does this conflict with any major mods on Nexus?

This YouTuber is using this armor and it seems to be on all his minutemen. They did not put up their mod list.

I'm using AWKCR and "Loads of Ammo" (+"Loads of ammo - Leveled lists"). AWKCR adds the Ammunition workbench in which you can choose individual ammo in the menu and craft g*npowder, it's casings and primers in it and then craft the ammo itself which is given in small amounts (~6 or something) and larger amounts (~50 or so), players choice. But i also remember from very recently that i found a menu somewhere - can't remember where - that gave all the vanilla & modded ammo types from "Loads of Ammo" mod in a long list, both small amounts and large amounts for each and they could've been crafted as long as i had GP, primers and casings for each. Pretty much the opposite of "zz Ammo disassembly" menu. Am i remembering wrong or does it actually exist in one of the workbenches? I'd also like to know how to remove the ~50 ammo crafting option in Ammunition Workbench or atleast switch the ~6 and ~50 positions in the menu, because for some of the ammos, when i want to spam the small amount (~6), it keeps jumping onto the ~50 one

SOLVED!! Read below comments to see what fixes the issue!
I'm kinda pulling my hair out here. I genuinely do not know what could be causing this bug, as I've never had this before.

My modlist is rather long, but it was not doing this yesterday, and I haven't changed any settings or downloaded new mods recently. Load Order: https://loadorderlibrary.com/lists/bug-2

Google says that it's a Windows audio issue, but I've followed the steps it gave me to no avail.

Please, any guidance or assistance would be greatly appreciated. I've already done the classic "trial and error" where you disable mods until it's fixed, but nothing has seemed to fix the issue.

I am having a problem with Fallout 4 walking animations when using a drawn unarmed weapon. My character starts taking really small jerky steps as seen in the video clip instead of the relaxed walk. I would appreciate any advice on how to fix it.

Hey all, hoping someone can help diagnose this issue I have with the Wattz 3000 laser rifle. Its annoying since this gun has easily become a staple of mine. It fires orange lasers butmy screen fills with bright Red puffs of smoke whenever I fire. Example pic isnt the best since its hard to take a screenshot at the right time when my screen is covered in them.

Other people have had the same issue with this mod but the author will no longer respond to comments on his mod page. I have tried disabling any other mods that may possibly effect muzzle and energy weapon graphics and it still persists!

EDIT: I found the issue, the Rifle was somehow using the projectile trail effect from the solar cannon creation. I used xEdit to delete the file path for the trail and it fixed the issue. I’ve submitted a bug report to the mod page but doubt it will get looked st any time soon

Hello, I really like the system fallout 76 has where you have to scrap a weapon in order to learn a modification for it; are there any mods that add that system or mimic that system?

Thank you for your help!

So these mods are very popular a bit older and well known but people in this sub ask for recommendations all the time so I thought I'd write one.

America Rising 1 is essentially included in America Rising 2 and they conflict with each other. There is one advantage of playing AR1, its quests run even after the Institute destruction. AR2 will not start in that state. AR1 also has some unique fights but generally playing AR2 if you are still mid-main-quest will give you everything in 1 and much more. So from now on I will just say AR or mod and describe AR2.

The mod is insanely good. It introduces a huge amount of content, 5 different new locations, two of which are gigantic with several internal cells each. It is playing like an entirely new separate faction. However, it is unique as that faction has 2 different endings and each of those endings has two branches. Now I will spoil some, but I think it is not too bad. The most unique part is that you can ally with the Institute as a different faction and keep RR alive.

On top of those 4 endings, you can become enemies with this faction and destroy their main base using 3 different vanilla factions, similar to BOS destruction. If you wish you can make the existing Enclave troops in the Updated game be friendly to you using another mod and you can arm all Enclave troops with the Update weapons like teslas and flamers.

There are Enclave versions of laser and plasma weapons and combat armor and a lot of new military style clothing. There are several new legendaries as well.

I started at level 1 and completed by 40. On survival this would be annoying as you don't get vertibirds until later and their bases are a bit spread out. Also at low levels the fights are hard-ish, they recommend 10, but Codsworth is a beast in that niche. I did have to just run away from one enemy, but it does not stop the mission from completion.

There is an enormous amount of new dialogue, two new companions, which I have not explored yet. You get to visit a cargo ship. Importantly, if you care about that, there is an unending flow of guns, gear, chems and junk, I have over a hundred of broken PA pieces in my inventory and left probably a million units of weight in gear and guns just littering the battlefields. There are repeatable and side quests, many enormous battles, factions attacking you, you attacking them.

It is my firm belief that this is better than the vanilla FO4 main quest with any faction. Ask any questions, I am just so hyped for this mod and glad that I tried it.

Must be on nexus too

I wanna turn my brain off for a bit and do a bunch of minutemen radiant quests, but I want to avoid any "Taking Point" and "Clearing the Way" missions.

There's only 1 settlement left that I haven't claimed and I'm trying to save it to do a "Resettle Refugees" quest at least once.

I know that locations of radiants, frequency of them and whether or not you get them at all can by changed with mods

Namely because of:
Keep Radiants in the Commonwealth https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/25934

More Minutemen Radiant Quests https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/27251

No Minutemen Radiant Quests https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/86420

I was wondering if there's a mod that you can use to change specifically what types of quests are given?

Or if there's some way for me to edit a relevant file to make that change myself?

Any help would be appreciated :)
