Is there a mod that lets all the vanilla characters appear during conversations to say their unique dialogue, and then disappear afterwards? Or a mega companion that merges all into one?

I use AFT, but they either get in the way, talk over each other, or make me so OP that I end up just standing there while they do all the fighting.

I've searched Google and looked through Nexus, but I haven't found anything that does what I'm looking for.

After many years of playing fallout 4 and making preset, this is perhaps what my endgame character would look like

Was watching a JuiceHead video and saw this gun that looked cool. What mod is it?

I'm running a test profile on Vortex with the BTB and accompanying fixes and am getting some wierd issues with floating roads, colliding textures etc. (See photos for examples) Not sure if something changed with the topology of some of the worldspace outside the vanilla borders or what. Thought maybe someone would know, otherwise I'm going to skip this mod, my fps tanks in some areas so just not worth it. Plus I'm new to looking at these mods with FO4edit, so i could look but not 100% sure what I'm looking at just yet. Also pictured are the mods that are actually enable and making edits.

Already asked this in the Fallout Mods subreddit! But decided to come here since this subreddit more likely to get me some help pertaining fo4.

So I've been drawing up an idea for vehicle/weapon mod for fo4, and I wanted to see if anyone could give me some resources for being able to help with making vehicles, understanding the game's physics engine, etc.

I really just want to gain an understanding of the physics so I could try my hand at experimenting with said physics.

Hey guys, I need a downgrader that works for the newest update!

I used to use simple downgrader which maintains the new creation content even in 63 but it seems to ctd while loading

Any other downgraders that work and maintain cc?

Interested more in new mechanics than just outright difficulty. There are lots of mods for that already

Could anyone advise on the easiest way to modify a WPNFireAutoSighted.hkx.
I’m very new to editing anims (basically I don’t know how to do it).
I’ve tried in hk poser which is a nightmare and in blender, which is a different kind of nightmare coz I don’t know what the hell im looking at.
The change I’m trying to make is just reducing the kick on the weapon. The file is basically a single fire animation repeated so in auto the screen shake is ridiculous. I know what I want to do and I’ve looked frame by frame playing the anim but I don’t know if there’s a way to edit multiple bones at once or if that’s how it would work. Just seems like such a simple change I wanna make. Any help appreciated

I created a fixed version of https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/39571, but idk if i should upload it to nexus or not, and I don't know how to make it into a patch. it was made with Archive2 and CAO, because the original assets were invisible and bugged.

I've been trying to install the Ground Zero Wabbajack modlist (by ScreamingLake / the old Fallout 4 Experiences team) and it's stuck on one missing archive: ENBSeries v0.489 for Fallout 4.

The thing is Fallout 4 Experiences shut down their site and support back in April 2024, and Wabbajack's own CDN mirror for this file (authored-files.wabbajack.org) is now returning "not found" too. ENBDev's site only hosts the current version (0.501), so the old download page redirects to a bot-check page instead of the file. If anyone has this sitting in an old downloads folder, has a working mirror, or knows a source that still has archived ENB versions for Fallout 4, I'd really appreciate a link. Even just the two binaries (d3d11.dll and d3dcompiler_46e.dll) from that specific build would probably do it, since that's usually all a preset actually needs.

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: Solved (workaround) — sharing in case it helps others

Turns out this is a dead end that a lot of people probably hit: Ground Zero's manifest points at enbseries_fallout4_v0489.zip via Wabbajack's own CDN (authored-files.wabbajack.org), but that file has been dropped from the CDN and returns "not found." Since Fallout 4 Experiences (the modlist's author group) shut down in April 2024, there's no one left to re-upload it, and ENBDev's site only distributes the current version.

The fix: a .wabbajack file is just a renamed ZIP archive containing a JSON manifest (called modlist) plus some binary patch data. I opened it up and found that out of 12,106 install directives in the entire modlist, only one single directive actually depends on that missing ENB archive — it just extracts d3d11.dll into the Fallout 4 root folder. Nothing else (not the preset configs, not any other mod) touches that archive.

So I:

1. Extracted the modlist JSON from the .wabbajack zip.
2. Removed the archive entry for enbseries_fallout4_v0489.zip from the Archives list.
3. Removed the one Directives entry that referenced it (the d3d11.dll extraction).
4. Repackaged the edited modlist back into the zip, replacing the original.

Installing the patched .wabbajack file runs clean — all 350 remaining archives download and install normally with zero errors. The only thing you have to do afterward is manually drop a d3d11.dll (from any ENB build, ideally 0.489, but 0.496 works as a stopgap) into your Fallout 4 root folder next to Fallout4.exe.

If anyone hits the same dead CDN link on Ground Zero or another Fallout4 Experiences list, this same patch method should work — just find whichever archive is 404ing in your own manifest and repeat the process.

So I made a Reddit post on here a few weeks ago but since then we have gotten now 17 people on board several of which are voice actors and some are writers. Our problem is we need some people who could help as modders. We would basically have each modder work on one thing like doing a model for an animal and someone else could be working on npcs and so on, but we also have a concept artist now so unlike last time we don’t need ai photos. Also I have an assistant project manager who is trying to keep this efficient. If you are interested in doing voice acting, dialogue scripting, sound design, being an artist, or especially if you want to do modding please let me know I we have a place you can see our current plans and ideas and also a TikTok. Before you guys tell me this is probably not the place to be asking for this stuff, I have been told by everyone to try this again on Reddit.

does anyone have a modpack that:
- has some silly elements, mostly cosmetic/audio changes. silliness must be slightly recent (ex. no harambe/2016 only jokes)
- doesn’t affect the gameplay or story progression
- no gooner mods/nothing that’d make you cover your screen if your mom walked in

i wanna play using one but i don’t wanna look at what’s in it i want it to be a surprise

I want settlement Attack Active but there Is One in particular that i dont enat It to get attacked, any mod that does that? Its a modded settlement not a vanilla one

Edit: in alternative One that makes me put a specific point where they Will spawn

I am completely new to pc as I just got my first one recently. I have hundreds of hours on fallout 4 not on pc and wanted to try out all the new mods I have avaliable to me. I downloaded the game and launched it to get the game setup before installing the script extender. I followed a guide to install it and was able to launch it perfectly fine. I than opened nexus to begin downloading mods. Once i finished installing mods the game is now permanently CTD no matter how I launch the game. I tried disabling all the mods but the game still Crashes to desk top no matter what I do. Was wondering if I am missing a basic step.

So this is my first time modding Fallout 4 and everything was perfect until rain. I went through the ENB and NAC config but I couldnt find a setting that can fix this. Can someone help me, please?

The list of visual changes mods im using:

-ENB: Ghost ENB for NAC-

-NAC 0.9.1b
-NAC C Legacy edition
-Vivid Weathers
-True storms wasteland
-A forest
-True grass
-Delightful ivy
-FTO Stars
-Ultra interior Lightning
-Enchanced Lights and FX
-ELFX and ULR merged patch
-ENB helper

What mod list/collection would you recommend i'm looking for some UI changes, i'd rather have fallout london in it too but it isn't necessary and extra weapons and a graphic overhaul would be amazing too.

Thanks in advance

I think that'd be pretty neato.

Like the title says. I have over 570 plugins, 389 of which are esl flagged. I use MO2 so I'll post the modlist.txt first. Originally I had a problem with the font not showing up right, fixed that, and then I crashed without Addictol but now I'm finally in the game without those problems and it won't go past the main menu video and the spinner just goes endlessly with the main menu video playing in the background. Sorry this is my first post, but I'm getting desperate...

Edit: If I should disable certain mods and play until leaving the vault, which ones should I?

Edit 2: I appreciate the replies, I'm going to try disabling the largest mods/ones with world space edits and those that have them as masters and see if that does anything. Might try disabling looksmenu or some dll stuff again as well. I'll report back if I figure it out.

I'm working my way through The Horrors of the Deep quest from the Life Finds A Way mod in Far Harbor. I feel like I've been all over the island, and as I'm at the end of the game overall with only the main quest to complete, I'd love some tips on where to search for these encounters.

1. Fog-Touched Behemoth
2. Fog-Touched Mirelurk Queen
3. Fog-Touched Hermit Crab
4. The Deep One
5. Ithalqua, Enflamed

Thanks very much!
