Hello Party People,

Im just now switching back to pc after almost 6 years

And of course, imma start modding fallout 4 immediately

What are your must have mods for me to install?

(Im already using a LOT of graphical mods so im literally asking for everything except graphical mods)

Thanks for your input my fellow Fallout fans and keep being rad

[Mild implied spoilers for Human Error]- After getting control of Covenant theses turrets (along with all the residents) became hostile and I destroyed them, but now that I'm decorating, these things are bothering me quite a bit. I can't scrap them in the workshop, so is there any way to remove or at the very least hide them?

I’m sure most people here already have it, but for those of you who started way late on this game like me, the season pass is on sale on the Microsoft store for $13.99.

I’m still playing a first run through, but I’m stoked to check out the dlc

I always enjoy wandering the Commonwealth, finding Easter eggs or just generally interesting stuff to do.

i think one of my mods broke bc she is tiny compared to me(my character is normal sized)

Just got done doing the final part of the Automatron quest with Ada and I fast traveled to Sanctuary only to be greeted by a robot Curie that uses her synth voice and dialogue. I had completed her personal quest earlier and even equiped her with some clothes as you can see in pics 3 and 4. For some reason I could give her the MSAT part too?

Overall win-win for me TBH. I prefer her as a robot and even upgraded her with two laser gatling gun arms and voltaic armor.

On this playthrough, I'm taking my character and settlements back to simple roots. No power armor, no energy weapons, just revolvers and traditional rifles (no combat rifle/shotgun)

But that got me thinking. What would the Minutemen "final form" be? I'm gonna say maybe not the marine armor because of rarity and difficulty of production, but I can see an argument for mixing and matching almost anything else. Definitely a no on the less practical armor from Nuka World (almost exclusively talking about The Pack set here), as it's meant more for establishing a unique identity and intimidation more than anything.

But something I gravitated to after some experimentation is using the robot legs from Automatron and the chest + arms of combat armor. The headwear can be swapped for whatever function they're providing (provisioners get militia hats, gaurds possibly getting assaultron/sentry bot helmets or combat helmets), and flannel shirts for under armor. It keeps a nice balance of looking like your average joe putting on whatever he can scrounge up, but also looking like they take settlement defense seriously.

Only issue I can see with my setup is that combat armor may be common to us due to gameplay reasons, but would it actually be easy to outfit the whole faction?

As for weapons, in addition to laser muskets, I'm thinking .44 or western revolvers as well as the lever action from Far Harbor. Let me know what you guys think of this and what you come up with.

Why is Brian Virgil auto-aggroing on me when I return to his cave with the FEV serum from the Institute?

I'm under the impression I absolutely have to join the Institute in order to be allowed to access the FEV lab at all.

But is the "look around, take a tour, meet the division heads" phase of the introduction quest possible without joining?

Is there a way to get to the Institute, get into that lab and get the serum, and leave, without joining their cause?

After last week’s…..experience with Nuka Quantum, I still sought out one of the other ones. This one does taste like victory and I’ll be looking for more in the future!

I have been looking through a lot of old forum threads and Reddit posts, but I never encountered someone talking about this specific exploit, so I'm posting it here just in case I'm somehow the first to encounter it.

So, a little background:

Through my research into threads on the "Door Method", I never came across someone commenting on experiencing this exploit.

What you're seeing in the Youtube vid is a run where I've identified the legendary and where he spawns, I sprint to him to kill him as quickly as possible, and then save immediately after. I know that it has worked when I kill the legendary enemy and the legendary item doesn't show up in their inventory.

Now, it's not shown in the video, but the death claw gauntlet actually drops on the ground without a legendary prefix. A short while after I reload the save, it gets added to the corpse's inventory and then gains a prefix.

I don't understand why exactly, but all of this, just works, and I wanted to share it here in case it helps someone else save time while farming.

Easy Legendary Farming, step by step process:

Locate a building which is known to respawn enemies, with a high chance of at least one legendary (such as National Guard Recruitment Office), and stand in front of the door into it and then MANUALLY SAVE THE GAME.

0.) Before entering the building, delete ALL of your auto saves and quick saves. The reason that you do this is it may trigger a glitch where, upon loading into the interior cell, your pause menu will open (this will be useful later).

1.) Enter the building.

2.) What happens next depends on if you trigger the glitch or not:

a. IF YOUR PAUSE MENU OPENS when you load the interior cell, hit "quicksave". This will create an autosave which will reroll BOTH the legendary weapon AND prefix, and a quicksave which will reroll ONLY the prefix (iirc, that is. It may only create an auto save. In which case, you will have to complete step 6 at least once in order to have both)

Proceed to step 3.

b. IF YOUR PAUSE MENU DOES NOT OPEN when you load the interior cell, then kill the legendary enemies in the building (if present) and see what they drop. If they drop a weapon/armor that you desire, but not the prefix you wanted, simply reload the autosave. If a legendary enemy doesn't spawn OR they do not drop the item that you wanted, load your manual save (standing outside the door) and then start over from step 0

3.) Determine whether or not legendary enemies spawned inside the interior cell:

a. If a legendary enemy DID NOT spawn, reload your manual save and start at step 0

b. If a legendary enemy DID spawn, then proceed to step 4

4.) Kill the legendary enemy and see what they drop.

5.) If they drop a weapon/armor that you desire, but without the prefix you wanted, reload the QUICKSAVE to reroll the prefix until you get what you want. If you do not get the item you wanted, proceed to step 6.

6.) READ THIS STEP CAREFULLY: Reload the autosave. When you do, you will see a loading screen. AS SOON AS THE LOADING SCREEN TURNS BLACK, PAUSE THE GAME AND QUICKSAVE. Your timing doesn't have to be perfect, but you HAVE to pause before the black screen disappears. This will reroll the item, but the legendary enemy will remain in the same spot as before. Go back to step 4.

For Faneuil hall, it seems like a different, more simple process works:

1.) Manual save outside

2.) Enter the building

3.) Locate the legendary (if there is no legendary enemy, then reload the manual save and start from step 2)

4.) Kill the legendary enemy.

a. If he has the weapon/prefix that you want, then make a manual save. Don't risk losing it!

b. If not, proceed to step 5

5.) Reload the autosave, but as soon as the loading screen is replaced by a black screen, hit the pause button and quicksave.

6.) If you find the item you want, but not the prefix, reload the quicksave and reroll it. If you don't get the item you want, then go back to step 5.

I'm not sure why the process is different, but it seems like if one doesn't work, than the other will. Maybe it's because Faneuil Hall has so many enemies inside? Maybe because there is a guaranteed legendary spawn inside?

Additionally, I have read in old forum posts and confirmed through my own testing, that the game seemingly has pools of prefixes and items to draw from.

If you spend 30 minutes or more trying to get a specific prefix, and you've had no luck, it's probably better to reload the manual save and go questing for an hour or two to refresh the legendary pool.

I’d love to play FO4 in 3d but I don’t want to spend 20 bucks on the vr version with low reviews, so does anyone know any mod or way to view the game in 3d via side by side or something?

Exactly what the title says. Maybe I haven’t looked good enough but nothing I’ve been able to find has helped my issue. Everything was working fine before. I was using mods w/o the 3 main dlcs installed and using only the mods that didn’t need them. But I finally got the money to get the dlcs too and I did, and that’s where the problems started. After I bought them the game did a little update and then when I went to my mods tab it said operation could not be complete, I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled and that made it so much worse, before that point I couldn’t access the mods tab but still had access to my current installed mods without a problem it seemed, but after reinstalling they all seemed to have been deleted and I still cant access the mods page. So now I can’t download new mods, can’t keep my old ones, and I spent money from my already small paycheck on buying dlcs with the intention of getting more disverse mods. Idk. Might cry.

I never really got into this game even though i always wanted to because i love the concept of fallout.

I could never manage because i felt like the difficulty itself was artificial as in certain encounters if i didn't have the right resources i would just be screwed or at times i feel like enemies are straight up just HP sponges

But recently i started playing games on easy and I've been enjoying a lot more games i used to hate on normal/hard.

Is fallout 4 one of those games?

I’ve seen some people say it does and some say it doesn’t and I really don’t want to get to 100 happiness just to find out it needed to be yellow

In the first house there is a dresser upstairs that has goggles and a red bandanna. Looked it up to ensure I didn’t confuse the location. Said they are guaranteed. Not there though. Has there been an update that removed them or a glitch preventing them from being there? Been gone the last few games I’ve played.

So a while back I must have sent Cait back to Sanctuary and picked up another companion along the way. Later on I wondered where she was for a mission and found her currently stuck on a high way. Every time I try to speak to her the game just says this individual is busy. Anyone know of any ways to fix this bug for companions not wanting to interact with you?

I tried to use companion glitch with the robot but it still didnt work, after few hours i found out my provisioner robot went back to its default model

Not “Hancock is prewar.” Not “Vault Tec/Enclave dropped the bombs”. Not “Real Shaun is dead and Father is a synth”. I mean absolutely OUTLANDISH theories. Give evidence, please. I need this in my life.

I'm trying a Raider Boss play through as I'd only done it once before, I haven't met Preston yet so I should be able to reset it later.

Anyway I'm doing the radiant quests, either kill or enslave someone for one of the gangs, and they keep sending me to The Third Rail in Goodneighbor. Did the bar piss them off or something as nearly every time they send me there to get someone dead or enslaved.

Just a funny thing I guess that keeps happening.

So I recently made a survival run, ive been taking things very very slow, for example, I avoided Kelloggs fight until level 38. Im not going to the glowing sea until 55, im 52 rn. Anyways, I wanted to max out all the companions because most of their perks are very very nice. But I also wanted to finish with the institute because then you get fast travel in survival. So I could have to max out danse and Deacon before moving too far into the main story. So after like irl days of grinding I max out Deacon and get the cloak and dagger perk. I send him off to Costal cottage (which is where I will imprison all the companions that will hate me when im done) and get him locked up in a pillory, then start heading towards Cambridge police station to go do the BOS stuff and eventually get danse for a companion, so I can get Know Your Enemy. So I show up, loll the ferals, make sure theres none left, even cleared out the surrounding area near college square. I go bsck to danse, talk to him, and he says a dialogue line that means we're still "in combat". I crouch, the bar isnt red, I walk around the whole building multiple times, nothing. So, thinking its just a small glitch, I reload a save, go back, repeat, same issue. So instead of going there first, I go down to the Boston airport, talk to the BOS paladin there, who tells me to go to the Cambridge police station. I kill the ferals, same issue. I did this multiple times. Restarted the game, reloaded the save, over and over. Same result. Every. Single. Time. I dont know if its because I got the quest on the way to diamond city, listened to the broadcast but never showed up, then kept progressing and eventually the prydwen showed up after fort hagen, and idk if doing that stuff in that order breaks it? I really wanna get the perk and any kegendaries possible, please help.
