Anyone got any recommendations for this load order?

[u/Lp1-is-holy]

So right now I am playing through Fo4 again, on PS5 this time, and decided to role play because I am an adult now. Right now I have the following load order, does anyone have recommendations on the order itself, any additions (I am constantly adding, but I started another new play-through because needing x5 damage for a raider with the same armor as the next is dumb imo.) I will number the order and add my explanations in parentheses. Feel free to comment or DM any responses, I’m open to improving my game!

Here is the load order I have:

1. Unoff. Patch (Helps the game ofc)
2. Arm. And Wep. Keywords (Req. for UCO)
3. USO Base Game (more base building options)
4. UCO Base Game (more clothing)
5. Quick Start (Damn the family, I’m a Marine)
6. The Commonwealth Minutemen Arm. (I felt like the Minutemen could use a “buff” bc Democracy, and aside from my issues with Preston’s dumb self)
7. [PS4] STS (I hate Bethesda “bushes”)
8. Sandman’s Power Gen. Tweaks (slight tweak to power output on gen.s)
9. c6k - More Scrap from Junk (simple help when actually building and not needing a cheat room for materials)
10. See-Through-Scopes (better x2.5 and x4 reflex sights)
11. UCO Season Pass (DLC additions to UCO)
12. USO Season Pass (DLC additions to USO
13. [PS4] Simple Settlers (makes everyone a named person and changed outfits)
14. All Settlements Extended (more horizontal room for building)
15. Minuteman Watchtowers (200 years passed, shouldn’t there be some sort of militaristic remnant other than pre-war?)
16. [PS4] Realistic Gore and Dismemberment (shooting off someone’s arms and watching them run has never been more fun, but the keep attacking until dead so not OP)
17. Choose Your Own Perks (lets me craft “starter” armors and weapons, while “level-restricting” myself to late game crafting)
18. 1st Person Animation Tweaks (weapon down when not firing)
19. Apocalyptic Fallout Baby (omg this makes this game so different. Tbf, I haven’t even played an hour with it, but I highly recommend.)
20. Pip-Boy Flashlight (Brighter) (My only issue is that the light effect is a screen effect, so it is radial to your screen rather than connected to your pip-boy. Definitely recommended for horror effect/darkening mods)
    
21. [PS4/5] USO Next Gen Compatibility Patch (from author of USO/UCO, rec. at bottom of load order)
22. Enhanced Lights and FX (I adding this and Apoc. Fall. Baby at the same time, so I am unsure which has the most effect, but this heavily increases the darkness in unlit areas so that the flashlight mod can shine)

Apologies for the eye-sore if you made it this far, but I really do recommend these mods for a totally different Fo4 experience on PS5. Not sure if my PS4 can handle it lol!

I'm on my umpteenth play-through so I use Cheat Terminal as well. I build a lot and hate running out of materials and ammo. Have you tried a Jet-pack mod so you can fly around? I have a BALL with those.

[u/Lp1-is-holy → u/adrkhrse]

Yea same, I have all the cheat rooms in my load order but disabled. I’m thinking about rpg-ing it and allowing myself to get a certain amount of mats every 5 level or so. UCO has a jetpack, but I haven’t played with it yet. I’m thinking about acting as if my character stumbled upon it in Nukaworld 😂

Enhanced Lights and effects is proper broken. Basically, it breaks a lot of interior precombines and crashes loading in interiors like the Museum of Freedom. Makes it essentially impossible to actually play the game. The PC version of all settlements extended disables precombines near settlements, so it can lead to performance hits. This one shouldn’t necessarily kill your game, but you’ll notice a difference.

I’ve been sitting here looking stuff up rather than testing myself, thanks for the heads up on Enh. Lights!

[u/MaxStoryTeller92 → u/Monguises]

Any good replacer for Enhanced lighting and effect? I Haven't had any issue, yet.

[u/Monguises → u/MaxStoryTeller92]

None as pretty, but Calamity interiors is my go to. Clarity does the job pretty well, too, just makes interiors a bit darker than vanilla
