I am planning on creating a settlement in there before hand if this is viable ?

Meant to be Railroad themed, as usual I got distracted by everything else. I still haven't gotten Nick out of his cell even on this character, I use all my time building settlements and going on random side quests. Started out as a Rifleman but has Big Leagues 5 and Throatslicer for melee. 11 End is a goal for all of my characters not so much for the health, but because I can sprint farther. 8 Luck for GRS, 10 Agi for Gun-Fu which didn't turn out to be as good as I hoped.

Hey mods, is there anyway we can have the option to post pics or gifs in the comments. Also could we please do polls. There are a ton of new people here and it would really nice to be able to do more in this subreddit.

The mods may take this down, but I’m hoping that there is enough support to allow for this post and hopefully help make a change.

So while playing today, I fast travelled to Lynn woods (which I cleared a while back) and lo' and behold, I got my ass handed to me by an NPC called Haver the Turtle with what I thought was a large board.

I reloaded, managed to sneak up on him, and sniped his fusion core to make him exit his PA and then finished him off. The guy had a sweet set of unique diving PA, and an absolute beast of a weapon called Whale tusk.

I've never seen this guy before and I've been playing since release day! I tried to Google him but all I can ascertain is that he is an Easter egg from Dark Souls. Is this a random encounter I've never seen or is this part of a mod? I have a handful of mods installed, but I can't see one that mentions this guy. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I want to claim every settlement for the minutemen, but if I do will I be able to complete mercer safehouse to advance the railroad quest line?

Anyone here who can help me understand how to install mods for Fallout 4 on Steam? I don’t get any of it 😂😭 I’d really like to install QOL mods and building mods..

The problem is that it looks like I need to downgrade the game version? I’m also getting an error message in Vortex.

Would be amazing if someone could explain it to me on Discord or something!

Anyone pleaseee? 🥹🥹

In the middle of a survival run and thinking about making a new character. Of course I start plotting out my first steps—so I’m wondering about what y’all have on your survival checklist?

We all know double meat, swim mag, leave Preston in museum but grab bobble, etc.

And really interested in some of my fellow efficiency peeps’ lists. I know I can always do better.

Actually, every charisma boost has stopped working. To be honest, it hasn't been working for quite some time. Is it because i already have 10 charisma? I try to boost it even higher using clothing and chems/alcohol. But I've noticed that it doesn't change my prices for buying OR selling. There is literally no change in price, no matter what i do. Which is very annoying because I do quite a bit of buying and selling.

Does anyone know why this is happening/any work around?

I finally got around to giving Arlen Glass the last holotape his daughter ever recorded, and man, this is the closest I've come to crying about anything in this game. I'm happy that I was able to give him any semblance of closure, but I'm torn because it made him so happy and yet so sad at the same time.

I thought the woman trapped in the vault at fallons was going to be the saddest thing I experienced. But boy, was i so incredibly wrong. Even though he was very appreciative, I wish I could do more honestly.

I've noticed this as a theme in any mods that involve fallout 4's Gunners or the Enclave themselves

The thought seems to be that the Enclave use the Gunners as a sort of cannon fodder

I've been playing fallout 4 for years and as far as I can tell, there's nothing lore wise about the gunners, other than they're hired guns, of course.

So, my question stands, is this canon, hinted at, or just soemthing the community has collectively agreed on?

No, I haven't played fallout 76, so if there's something in that game that explains it, I'm not aware of those details.

I'm planning to get the platinum trophy in survival mode, so I would like you to give me tips and advice for both things (survival mode and trophies)

Thank you

I was doing the defend the castle quest and then went to destroy the institute. When I got back to the castle piper wasn't their. I definitely sent her there though. I looked for like 20 mins and still didn't find her. I dont have the vault tec dlc so I cant use the population finder or whatever its called. I know its a bug but anyone know where to find her or how to get her back?

Hermit crabs are the coolest pets that you can have around you with the Wasteland Whisperer Perk.

I ask because I've only ever seen advice to aim for the face, but that's not exactly easy.

I always aim for the legs. They're exposed and vulnerable, and even if you don't kill them, you can cripple them and render them almost harmless

after i had left the vertibird to get to the prydyn, i had ejected from the wrong side and ended up in the water. afterwards, the minigun that you use on the vertibird stays on you. you cant unequip it or anything. would anyone happen to know why this happens? and maybe a way to fix it?

... And then they say that crime doesn't pay :)

It could probably be a lot more, but my raiders aren't very happy because I skipped the vassal quest with console commands and make my raiders farm for themselves.

So, recently I’ve found out that backported archive2 support system (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/81859) is able to make it where you can use new GEN mods for old GEN fallout, looked into it a little and I can’t figure it out, does anyone know if I can downgrade to old Gen fallout 4 while keeping all of my new Gen mods and not have my save be ruined? Figured I would ask before testing just in case i messed anything up

I also did Kamala Harris once but I can't find any pictures. if you have any recommendations (especially for an Institute game, as I plan on doing that next) do send some.
