(Note that all fixes are retroactive unless otherwise noted) Frequently Asked Questions - BUGS Frequently Asked Questions - About the Project Mods Made Obsolete by the UFO4P Official 1.10.980 Patch Update Reconciliation Merged change in Heavy Flamer with the position fix for the toolbox so that it will properly require the Keeper's Toolbox Key. Forwarded the location data added by Enclave Remnants to GlowingSeaPOIJS02. UFO4P Fixes workshop_co_SleepMattress is an inaccessible recipe and therefore the edits to it are unnecessary. (Bug #32786) [Note that it being duplicated in the menu is NOT a vanilla or UFO4P bug. It is something triggered by Buffout and needs to be fixed on their end of things.] workshop_co_BedMattress formula has been adjusted to use less steel so that it makes more sense in line with beds that have actual frames. (Bug #33040) Crashes for users with nVidia RTX cards who attempt to open the Graygarden workshop menu have been resolved. Glitchfinder has provided us with a mesh that eliminates the problem. (Bug #33066) [meshes\Workshop\WorkshopBorderGrayGarden01.nif] An error in script DLC03:TrapBear causes actors without the Lightfoot perk to fail to properly trigger traps using the script. (Bug #33086) 03043A2D: Rifle that had its placement adjusted at some point but then somehow ended up sitting upright with improper rotation values. (Bug #32959) Gunslinger level 5 had the weapon checks on the wrong perk entry tab from our fix in UFO4P 1.0.1. (Bug #33846) The useless Nukalurk Eggs have been removed from the spawning activator. Reverts 27393. The item itself as created by UFO4P will remain to prevent possible CTDs. Go sell the useless eggs or something (Bug #33834) Modified the fix in stage 101 of Reunions [MQ106] so that the Command Center door is not set into a bad state which may then lead to breaking the arrival of the Prydwen. (Bug #33695) December's Child weight decrease was applied incorrectly resulting in it being heavier instead of lighter as intended. [DLC03_mod_Custom_Weapon_M4] (Bug #33931) 0724DB6F: Fog Condenser added by UFO4P was not linked to its jug. (Bug #32769) Actor Fixes DLC04_LvlGang_Operator_Boss incorrectly drew from generic raiders which would sometimes result in choosing a Disciple instead of an Operator to fill the template. (Bug #33772) MQ302Minuteman02 had incorrect face morph values due to being switched from female to male without a proper facegen update. (Bug #33000) Old Longfellow is missing the ability that controls the Live & Love perks for companions. (Bug #33938) LCharMoleratLegendary and LCharMoleratAmbushLegendary incorrectly spawn ordinary Mole Rats between level 7 and 13. The Mole Rats themselves also lack their appropriate skins and material swaps. (Bug #33935) Caged versions of Glowing Mole Rats and Mutant Hounds did not get the fixes that were done for the non-DLC versions. (Bug #33933) Deathclaws permanently mark a target to dismember on death due to the effect wrongly being set up as an ability. [abDeathClawClawsSpell] (Bug #33920) Following Last Voyage of the U.S.S. Constitution, the Lookout does not go with his shipmates if the quest ended with the ship crashing into the Baxter Building. [DialogueMS11 - New Alias AI Pack added] (Bug #33139) After completing "Out of the Fire" [DN121] Saugus Iron Works respawns a leveled raider boss to fill the leader position. This leader should not have been spawning in using Slag's specific version of raider power armor. [LvLForged_Boss] (Bug #32871) Guard settlers are not using the correct template reference for their inventories. Rather than using EncWorkshopNPCMaleFarmer01Template they should be using EncWorkshopNPCMaleGuard01Template. (Bug #33957) Synth Refugee [DLC03_Loot_CorpseSynthRefugee] and its female counterpart lack a Synth Component on their bodies, as is found on other dead synths. (Bug #32555) Item Fixes DLC03_LL_Armor_Trapper_Coast_Underwear had an invalid form in the list. (Bug #32989) Fancy Plaid Suit & String Tie [DLC04_Armor_Operators_Underarmor_02] was accidentally left out of the Operators underarmor list. [DLC04_LL_Armor_Operators_Underarmor] (Bug #33849) DLC01LLI_Vendor_BotMods_Basic_Armor erroneously contains a useless component for Mr Handy Bottom Armor that doesn't have a craftable recipe, nor does it have a craftable modification for it. [miscmod_DLC01Bot_Torso_MrHandy_Armor_Standard_Bottom - removed] (Bug #33848) DLC04_NukaWorld_Meat75 erroneously offers up Flying Ant Meat which is never used in anything and was apparently cut from the game. (Bug #33847) MacCreadyOutfit erroneously includes an unplayable set of Road Leathers [Armor_MacCready_Raider_Underarmor] which he cannot use due to his duster conflicting with the biped slot. (Bug #33918) Basketballs for the Nuka-Cade should cost 4 rubber instead of 2, or the player will be capable of an infinite rubber exploit. [DLC04workshop_co_NukacadeHoopShotBall] (Bug #33842) Prewar_Locker_01 was missing its open and close sounds. (Bug #33841) Acid Soaker ammunition only crafts a single round instead of the 20 it was supposed to be. [DLC04_co_Ammo_AcidSoaker] (Bug #33840) The Gatling Laser Overcharged Capacitor mod incorrectly requires Gun Nut level 2 when energy weapons are always governed by the Science! perks instead. [co_mod_GatlingLaser_LaserReceiver_MoreDamage3] (Bug #33839) Vault-Tec Deep Pocketed mod has no crafting requirements. [co_mod_armor_VaultTec_Lining_Torso_ImprovedCarryCapacity2] (Bug #33838) Overboss Power Helm [DLC04_Armor_Power_T51_Helm_RaiderOverboss] is missing the default raider headlamp in its template. (Bug #33836) MeatBag_Floor001 and MeatBag_Floor002 had wild edits applied by the Wasteland Workshop DLC that serve no purpose. (Bug #33945) mod_InstituteLaserGun_Scope_ScopeMedium, mod_InstituteLaserGun_Scope_ScopeMedium_NV, and mod_InstituteLaserGun_Scope_ScopeShort_NV are all set to the wrong zoom value for the type of scopes they are. (Bug #33944) mod_armor_Combat_Lining_Torso_Lighter and DLC03_mod_armor_Marine_Lining_Torso_Lighter should both be providing 5 AP instead of 2 since they are for the torso slot. (Bug #33943) DLC04_mod_HandmadeGun_Receiver_MoreDamage3 errneously has dn_HasReceiver_Converted applied even though it's not changing the ammo type. (Bug #33942) DLC04_TrashObjectBurgerbox01, DLC04_TrashObjectCup02, DLC04_TrashObjectCup, DLC04_TrashObjectPizzabox01, DLC04_TrashObjectCupGroup, and DLC04_TrashObjectHotDogbox01 all have abnormally high weight for miscellaneous trash items. (Bug #33941) holotapeLadiesAux01, holotapeLadiesAux02, holotapeLadiesAux03, holotapeTheControl01, holotapeTheControl02, and holotapeTheControl03 all had a weight of 0.2 when holotapes should have 0 weight. (Bug #33940) DLC04_Ammo_PaddleBall lacked a short name, causing it to display as blank in the UI. (Bug #33939) PA_Legendary_Any_Unbreakable, PA_Legendary_Any_Low_Weight, and mod_Legendary_Weapon_RadiationDamage were missing the setting to raise their value by 4x normal. (Bug #33936) Daytripper should last 10 minutes as its description says instead of 5. (Bug #33932) Laser Muskets can spawn with Laser Gun parts due to a misconfigured set of object mods. [modcolgroup_LaserMusket_LongBarrel_ExtensionWithBracket_AND_Camera, modcolgroup_LaserMusket_LongBarrel_ExtensionWithBracket_AND_Focuser, modcolgroup_LaserMusket_ShortBarrel_ExtensionWithBracket_AND_Splitter] (Bug #33929) Poisoned Caltrops should not be setting off explosions when used. [DLC03_ThrowingCaltropWeaponPoisoned] (Bug #33923) Melee weapon mods do not actually provide bonuses for cripple chance or extra limb damage because the effect data for them was never created. (Bug #33930) BaseballGrenadeProjectile, BehemothBoulderProjectile, MolotovCocktailProjectile, SynthTeleportGrenadeProjectile, DLC04_LuckyRabbitsFootProjectile, DLC04_LuckyRabbitsFootProjectile2, DLC04NukaCherryGrenadeProjectile, and DLC04NukaQuantumGrenadeProjectile all have explosion effects that incorrectly default to the one for frag grenades. (Bug #33927) MS09JackRadiationGunProjectile, and GammaGunProjectileLarge are incorrectly flagged to penetrate geometry despite being beam weapons. (Bug #33919) Robot and Metal armor pieces incorrectly have Universal linking keywords attached to them which results in the "Dense" mod being applicable to more than just torso parts. [Armor_Metal_ArmLeft, Armor_Metal_ArmRight, Armor_Metal_LegLeft, Armor_Metal_LegRight, Armor_Metal_Torso, DLC01_Armor_Robot_Torso, DLC01_Armor_Robot_ArmRight, DLC01_Armor_Robot_ArmLeft, DLC01_Armor_Robot_LegRight, DLC01_Armor_Robot_LegLeft] (Bug #33835) Deliverer should have the WeaponTypePistol keyword on the actual weapon instead of by way of adding modifications for it. [mod_Deliverer_Grip_Standard, mod_Deliverer_Grip_Better1, mod_Deliverer_Grip_Better2] (Bug #32839) Fortification effects for Ultra-Jet, Psycho-Jet, and Buffout need to be reduced from 15 duration to 5 duration due to the fact that the durations are incorrectly extended due to the slow time effects. (Bug #32932) The Marine Armor Chest Piece [DLC03_Armor_Marine_Torso] incorrectly referenced leg armor materials in its Epic variants. (Bug #32809) Several Rust Devil Robot mods list "Reduces Carry Capacity" as an effect for the object mods. This effect was left off of many of them. See ticket for the complete list. (Bug #31630) Exemplar's T-60 Torso is always labeled as "c" but it should be "b", "d", or "e" based on which level is rewarded to you by Kells. (Bug #31517) Plasma weapons should now work properly with the Penetrator perk. [PlasmaProjectileLarge, PlasmaProjectileSmall, PlasmaProjectileSmallFast, DLC01LightningGunProjectile] (Bug #23322) Curie will now give Curie's Healthpaks to the player instead of ordinary stimpaks. Curie's Healthpak [ALCH 0019c0d9] does exist in the game files already, but it was nowhere used (Bug #32937) The combat rifle mods mod_CombatRifle_Scope_SightsImprovedGlowIron and mod_CombatRifle_Scope_SightsImprovedIron were using the same loose mod. The combat shotgun mods mod_CombatShotgun_Scope_SightsImprovedGlow and mod_CombatShotgun_Scope_SightsImprovedIron had the same problem. Two new loose mods were created and have also been added to all relevant leveled lists and form lists. (Bug #32641) Location Fixes Several issues with the setup for the Caravan encounter in Automatron have been corrected. (Bug #33074) MassPikeInterchangeExt03 had a Nuka-Cola machine with navmesh under it that should not have been there. The navmesh has been adjusted to account for the machine being in the way. (Bug #32858) The Walden Pond Gift Shop Basement [WaldenPond01] was missing the "Has Water" flag. (Bug #33816) Fixed an elevated navmesh vertex at the back entrance to Hardware Town. (Bug #32812) Mesh, Material, and Texture Fixes Plasma Guns, Laser Guns, Laser Muskets, and Lever-Action Rifle all have an unnecessary generic collision block around them which makes it place awkwardly in several situations as well as having the wrong material sounds attached. (Bug #33064) [Meshes/Weapons/HuntingRifle/HuntingRifleDummyParent.nif, Meshes/Weapons/LaserMusket/LaserMusketDummyReceiver.nif, Meshes/Weapons/LaserWeapons/LaserWeaponDummyReceiver.nif, Meshes/Weapons/Plasma/DummyReceiver.nif] Warehouse roof piece with a transparent ceiling. [Materials\Architecture\Warehouse\WrhsRoofPlywood01.bgsm] (Bug #33191) The bounding boxes on 3 workbenches and one trash bin have been corrected so that parts of them no longer disappear at certain angles. Fix provided by Pra. [meshes\furniture\workstations\workbencharmor\WorkstationArmorB01.nif, meshes\furniture\workstations\workbenchweapons\WorkbenchWeaponsB.nif, meshes\furniture\workstations\workbenchweapons\WorkbenchWeaponsA.nif, meshes\setdressing\trashbin\TrashBin01.nif] (Bug #32894) Assaultron Claw Hands do not have a material flie specified. The material file that should be used also has the incorrect grayscale texture set. [meshes\Actors\Robot\Parts\HandLeftAssaultronClaw.nif, meshes\Actors\Robot\Parts\HandRightAssaultronClaw.nif, Materials\DLC01\Actors\CreateABot\DLC01AssaultronBladeHandsRemap_base.bgsm] (Bug #29367) Nuka-World Assaultron space paint material references the wrong normal map. [materials\Actors\DLC04\BotColors\DLC04AssaultronTorso.BGSM] (Bug #29367) Papyrus Fixes SentryBotFaceLightScript: Removed the IsBoundGameObjectAvailable() check in the OnEffectFinish block of the script as this appears to cause an issue with the light remaining on even though the game throws a Papyrus error. (Bug #25355) Default2StateActivatorScript: A few edits were made to this script as part of the fixes related to various doors in Fort Hagen: the handling of disabled references was improved and redundant code has been removed. (Bug #33695) SpotlightScript: This script was missing code for handling the light sources of spotlights that are initially disabled. (Bug #32995) UFOActivatorScript: Added a sanity check for invalid sound instances. (Bug #32545) WorkshopParentScript: The top level vendor globals were not properly updated when a top level vendor store was removed from a workshop. (Bug #32686) Perk and Stat Fixes The Bloodied perk [ModLegendaryWeaponsDamageInverseHealthPerk] has errors in how it checks the conditions for the player's health. (Bug #33851) RRTheHeavyPerk and ImmuneToRadiation should both be hidden due to having no UI elements to show the player. (Bug #33850) The bonus application for Black Widow and Lady Killer were inverted. The global properties should be negative values due to how the actual formula calculation is done. (Bug #33843) Endangerol Syringes do not actually work the way the game describes, instead causing the target to reduce the effectiveness of everyone else's armor. To mimic the intent, the perk associated with the item now does 25% extra damage to the target. Text descriptions have been changed to reflect this as well. [EndangerolPerk] (Bug #33845) Energy Weapons Bobblehead does not affect Gatling Lasers and Alien Blasters. [PerkBobbleheadEnergyWeapons] (Bug #33934) The Rad Powered legendary perk has a messy implementation that would result in showing multiple individual strength buffs in the UI instead of a single one with the correct buff amount. [DLC03_ench_mod_Legendary_Armor_RadsIncreaseStrength] (Bug #33928) Calmex incorrectly blocks its effect if the player has Ninja level 2 despite the chem and the perk having nothing to do with each other. [FortifySneakAttackBonus2xChemPerk] (Bug #33926) Repair Bobblehead has an unnecessary check for whether the player is wearing Power Armor or not. [PerkBobbleheadRepair] (Bug #33925) Quiet Reflection is missing it's UI animation. [QuietReflectionXPBonus] (Bug #33924) Pain Train 3 does not actually improve impact landing damage due to the effect not being assigned. [PA_ImpactLandingAggroDamageSpell] (Bug #33922) Sniper level 1 has an unnecessary condition check for Iron Sights which causes a stutter when aiming the weapon. [PerkSniperAimStability] (Bug #33921) Sneak level 5 is not applying its invisibility component properly for distant enemies. [PerkSneakInvisibilityEffect, PerkSneakInvisibility] (Bug #32931) Mister Sandman needed to have its perk priority adjusted to prevent it interfering with sneak attack value bonuses from Ninja and Cloak & Dagger. (Bug #31307) The Piezonucleic Lining mod for Power Armor does not do what the description says. An actual perk to produce the proper effect did not exist and had to be created for it. [ench_mod_LegendaryPA_RadsCoreHealth -> changed from using LegendaryPA_RadsCoreHealthEffect to UFO4P_PiezonucleicEffect] (Bug #22529) Quest and Dialogue Fixes Curie's pick up lines were not flagged to require player activation and would instead be pulled as random dialogue you could not avoid. (Bug #32908) When asked to tell stories for the class in Vault 81 [Short Stories - V81_04] Katy's dialogue references completing MQ102 instead of Min00. The story you tell is about killing the deathclaw, which happens in Min00. (Bug #21305) "Object01 - Radio in a junk pile" [REObjectDL01] incorrectly marks 2 of the spawned objects as temporary. This leaves the rest hovering above the ground when the player returns later. The "garbage pile" object will also throw visual anomalies because the script is trying to move a static object during setup. (Bug #33585) [NR] The random encounter for Dreth could become broken and leave the player unable to trade with her again on subsequent meetings. (Bug #25994) The random encounter with Stash could end up broken because her forcegreet was flagged as Say Once. (Bug #26734) Technical Documents, Viable Blood Sample, and Reactor Coolant [currently unused] will no longer get spawned if the player has become hostile with the Brotherhood of Steel. (Bug #33091) Settlement and Workshop Fixes Egret Tours Marina, Outpost Zimonja, and Taffington Boathouse could have attack markers moved to where the player wanted a fast travel marker. This could result in attacking NPCs being right on top of the settlement instead of at the designated edges. A new marker has been placed in each location, linked to the map marker, and then positioned to where the edge marker is currently at since the edge marker is what would be used for the FT target. The edge markers are then relocated back to their default positions in the CK. (Bug #33906) Hangman's Alley could pick up the wrong map marker for the Workshop data. (Bug #33871) Power Armor stations should no longer cause Encumbrance damage when using them in survival mode. [HC_EncumbranceEffect_OverEncumbered] (Bug #33844) Placement/Layout/Ownership and Other World Fixes 0100FFA9, 0100FFAA: Eyebots generating static when disabled. Fixed by attaching a new script provided by Glitchfinder. (Bug #33776) 000ED0DD: Locker clipping through plumbing. (Bug #33143) 000ED126: Desk clipping through wall column. (Bug #33143) 00043AE9: File cabinet clipping through a wall column. (Bug #33112) 000AB84D: Metal box clipping into the one next to it. (Bug #33111) 0704E648, 0704E649: Wall segments added to Combat Zone exterior to cover up gaps. (Bug #33178) 0008212b: Dead Minuteman that despawns before being able to loot it before the end of "Out of Time". (Bug #33098) [NR] 0005698F: Wooden box intersecting with a spawn marker. (Bug #33095) 0023D2F1: Unused door viewable outside the playable area in Shamrock Taphouse. (Bug #33094) 06048D2C, 06048D2D, 06048D2E, 06048D2F, 06048D30, 06048D31: Nuka-Cola bottles spawning outside of the associated vending machine. (Bug #33088) 00228A79: Dead turret had a Havok script it didn't need which would cause its physics to go crazy when touched by the player. (Bug #33075) 0011AC0C: Nuka-Cola machine too close to a wall, causing its door to clip. (Bug #33060) 03010466: Activateable door placed under rubble that should have been a static version. (Bug #33059) 06053544: Operator's rifle spawner is picking from the wrong leveled list. (Bug #33037) 00110E11: Fire barrel at Boston Airport which should only be enabled once the BoS take over. (Bug #33026) 001843EC: Light source above a fire barrel at Boston Airport which should only be enabled once the BoS take over. (Bug #33025) 00090875: Spotlight source at Boston Airport which should only be enabled once the BoS take over. (Bug #33024) 0602991E: Dead turret occupying the same space as a live turret. (Bug #33019) 000E515E: Stool clipping into a desk. (Bug #33004) 060459AF: Crate assigned to an invalid reference group object. (Bug #32997) 00221C5D: Locker door which should have been a static version. (Bug #32971) 001A0C49: Workbench clipping with a barrel. (Bug #32968) 0023A60C: Cabinet clipping with a wall. (Bug #32962) 00110DA1: Fire barrel clipping with its neighboring barrel. (Bug #32938) 00205603, 00205621, 00205629, 0020562A, 0020562B: Floating Nuka-Cola bottles. (Bug #32912) 001B9EE7: Wall lean marker sunk too far into the ground. (Bug #32912) 001FEFE1: Water plane that was not large enough to cover the area it's in. (Bug #32912) 001B9EEB: Patrol marker embedded too far into a wall. (Bug #32912) 00077CAB, 00077CAC, 000939BF: Misplaced frag mines. (Bug #32911) 0604AD62, 0604AD63, 0604AD64: Crops owned by the wrong NPC/Faction. (Bug #32909) 07000001: Sidewalk segment added to cover up a gap. (Bug #32905) 07000002: Wall piece added to cover up a gap. (Bug #32094) 001D6117: Car that gets thrown skyward due to bad placement across a cell boundary. (Bug #32852) 001EB3F4: Port-A-Diner that was missing the property to link it to the container's door. (Bug #33837) 00072283: Nuka-Cola vending machine door out of position with the rest of the machine. (Bug #32807) 01000998: Mechanist Master Control Terminal was sunken into the server rack and was hard to access. (Bug #32838) 074D81E2: Light source for ceiling lamp that lacked one. (Bug #32816) 00135A89: Ownership set for Abraham Finch. This prevents "Out of the Fire" [DN121] from stalling due to another NPC commandeering the marker. (Bug #32887) 074E4ED3: Sandbox primitive added to Vault 88 because settlers won't sandbox beyond the first chamber otherwise. 001F41E1: Suitcase too far underwater to access. (Bug #32582) 000EAC12: Fallen door not covering the gap well enough to cross it. (Bug #32571) 060502BE: Clint's Power armor, which should be unique, was placed in a random Gunner camp in Nuka-World. It has been replaced with a generic Gunner's type Power Armor. (Bug #32546) 002133c2: Grass moved away from a metal box because it was somehow blocking access to it. (Bug #33003) 00046379: Door that should have been a static version since it opens through a static cabinet. Also moved a first-aid kit from the other side of the door that would have become inaccessible. (Bug #32966) 002287B7: Power Armor not owned by the Gunners when it should be. (Bug #32520) 074FE8B8: Sandbox primitive added to The Castle because settlers won't sandbox the full build area otherwise. (Bug #22113) Text Fixes NatDoorSM01: "Door" -> "Bulkhead" [Inconsistently named, other 4 with the same model are named "Bulkhead"] (Bug #33780) FortuneFinder04: Corrected text to indicate what this level of the perk actually enables, since it does not increase the number of caps you get from containers. (Bug #32892) OfficeFileCabinetEmpty01: "File Cabinet Drawer" -> "Empty File Cabinet" (Bug #32884) The complete changelog for PC and XBox One is available here.

A few days ago, I started receiving this error whenever I try to launch the Fallout 4 version of Wrye Bash. I will also post it on the Discord server. The version of WB I am using is 312.1. Wrye Bash encountered an error. Please post the information below to the official thread at https://afkmods.com/index.php?/topic/4966-wrye-bash-all-games or to the Wrye Bash Discord at https://discord.gg/NwWvAFR Traceback (most recent call last): File "bash\bash.py", line 425, in main File "bash\bash.py", line 517, in _main File "bash\basher\links_init.py", line 143, in InitStatusBar File "bash\env\windows.py", line 1120, in init_app_links AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'exists' I also just tried to launch the game and it froze. So I re-validated the game files on Steam and 5 files will be re-acquired. Maybe I have more than one problem going on right now.

Updated my 2 mods for the most current versions, safe to update in current playthrough.

Hello expert modders. I am not nor do I aspire to be manually modding games. I need everything having to do with modding be done automatically when possible. I'm liking MO2 and I allow it to auto install mods for the only game I'm playing now, which is Fallout 4. By some miracle, I was sucessful in manually installing F4SE into MO2 and I suppose I must have also learned how to manually install LOOT into MO2 bc I just noticed that MO2 will not auto instal LOOT, so apparently I'll have to re-learn how to do it again. I see that my version of LOOT is 0.16 and I found there's a newer version 18.5. My LOOT 16 is doing it's job but should I go ahead and update it? Is there maybe a link to a utility that would update LOOT for me? If I have to update it manually, will I need to first uninstall my old version 16 first? Please help a dumbass out over here. Thanks!

I'm adding some new signs to my signs and posters mod for an upcoming release, and one of the things I'm adding (prompted by a user request) are some religious signage. The request was for one specific one, but I like to be inclusive, so I was looking to add others. But while I was researching distinctive religious signage in the Boston area, I noticed something that raised a question for me. We know that as of 2077 church buildings still existed, because the ruins of some of them are prominent sites in the game. However, real-world Boston has some extremely distinctive non-Christian/Catholic religious structures, and not a one of them made it into the game. We know from prior games that Christians still exist (ex: St. Monica's Church in Rivet City, Abbey of the Road somewhere west of the Commonwealth), and that the Mormons were still around (Honest Hearts). We know that various cults exist (Children of the Cathedral, Children of Atom, Bright Brotherhood, etc.). There are even some Lovecraftian cults out there. But there's no sign that I've seen of Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, or other non-Christian, real-world religions. So, my question is this. Is the lack of any reference to any non-Christian/Catholic real-world religion simply a matter of omission (they exist, but just weren't featured in the game), or is an aspect of the locked-in-the-1950s culture of FO4, or some other lore-related thing, that the construction of the distinctive buildings for other religions, or perhaps even the overt presence of those religions at all, did not happen? I'm wanting to stay fairly lore-friendly with these signs, and I'm trying to decide between having larger signs with more detail and graphic elements, or small, somewhat inconspicuous signs where they were wanting to self-identify, but not draw undue outside attention. So, if anyone can refer me to something that discusses this from a lore perspective, or can give insight into this, I'd appreciate it. Just a note, I'm not interested in any discussions on the validity of religions, or anything like that. I'm just looking for the lore regarding them in Fallout. Thanks!

A thread to post about your thoughts on Fallout 4. Such as likes/dislikes, the story, game play, favorite factions etc.. Some of mine to start: Far Harbor was my favorite DLC. I like the Nuka World location. But never played as a Raider. (Except for a test when the NW was new.) I have thought for years that the option to be a raider should have been in the base game. Nukaworld's quest should have been for everyone. Like Far harbor's was. My secret to enjoying Fallout 4 is to tell my own story, make some mods and build settlements. Expecially modded settlements filled with synths. :-) I think the two factions that didn't allow your character to become leader were the two most 'thought out' factions quest wise. They both had longer quest lines. (I think when the game was being written , Bethesda thought most players would side with either the BOS or the RR.) The Institute is my favorite faction, but its questline was very ordinary in places. I didn't mind being made Director, but there was nothing to do. Who did 'Wallace' (recruited by the Institute) work for and where did he get his knowledge?. The companions were generally well done. Sometimes I do wonder why there were so many blokes?

Is there a way to require you have something available as a component to build something, but not consume that component in the process? Or alternately to have the crafting create multiple objects at once so that I can add in the crafted item, plus replacements for all of the consumed components? I'm wanting to require paint cans for crafting graffiti, but not use up a full can of paint for each color in each item.

Fallout 4 - Known Engine Bugs The following is a list of known engine bugs as of the official 1.7.15 release. These are things Bethesda has to fix on their end otherwise they impose undue limitations on the ability to mod the game. Power Armor Resets In Settlements As described so far, power armor brought to a settlement area will be reset to its default configuration when the settlement location is next called for a cell reset. It appears that the cause of this is any attempt to change the X/Y/Z dimensions of the buildable area for a given settlement. PC Workaround: None known thus far, other than not trying to change settlement dimensions. XB1/PS4 Workaround: Uninstall any mods which cause this to happen. This issue has been confirmed by Bethesda and a fix is pending: https://community.bethesda.net/thread/13747 Editing Actors Turns Them White, Loses Facial Features Editing information on an Actor record results in their skin color changing to white (caucasian) and the loss of facial features such as freckles or scars. This is an old engine bug that has been around since Fallout 3, that somehow skipped over Skyrim. The cause has never been identified. Preferred Workaround: Check the "Is Chargen Face Preset" flag in the Actor record. Alternative Workaround: Change the mod to operate as a master file. This is not recommended though, due to the next bug... This issue has been tested and confirmed to be fixed as of Official Patch 1.7.15. Their changelogs do not note this though. User Generated ESM Files Load Before Official DLC When using the official Mods menu in the UI, user added mods are the only things displayed on the Load Order list. Upon saving you will find that any user generated ESM files are now listed in between Fallout4.esm and the official DLCs. The underlying cause for this is not known, but it's obvious Bethesda is incorrectly prioritizing the official DLC master files. This issue has been fixed as of Official Patch 1.6.3.0. Weapons Dropped By Actors Killed in Combat Never Clean up When Cells Reset [Fixed - Patch 1.6] Killing an NPC generally causes their weapon to fall away from the body as a separate object. These do not reset when the cells reset. Eventually, after a long enough time, the save will bloat up with leftover weapon forms lying around all over the place, and if you played heavily for long enough, you could exhaust the pool of generated form IDs in the FF range because they aren't getting cleaned up. The internal cause is unknown, but was also a huge problem in Skyrim that was never fixed. This issue is now fixed as of Official Patch 1.6. Bethesda's changelog does not note this, but it has been confirmed. The workaround in the UFO4P has been removed as a result. Cannot Reposition Scrappable Static Objects There are a number of objects in the game that can be moved around in the workshops menu that are already present in a settlement. Obejcts such as grills, patio furniture, etc. If a scrap formula is created for these objects, they can no longer be repositioned. They can only be stored or scrapped. Make enough scrap formulas and you could end up being unable to reposition anything in your settlements. The exact cause is unknown, but is likely a UI related bug as it seems to be related to UI filtering of some sort. The UFO4P initially caused this issue to show up for radios, but information came to light that adding the 3 craftable radios to the workshopScrapRecipe_Radio was causing this. Removing those 3 radios from the list restored the ability to reposition radios in general. This issue has not yet been acknowledged by Bethesda. See thread: https://community.bethesda.net/thread/10250 Edits to *ANY* Cell Records Can Block Mesh Overrides If you are editing any cell, whether exterior or interior, your edits may end up blocking the ability for the game to use a mesh or texture override even if that replacer does not contain an esp file of its own. It is difficult to diagnose because WHAT you edit matters rather than WHERE you edit. Flipping your mod to an ESM flagged file does not help. What the underlying cause is is not known at the moment, but the basics of it are that each cell record has a list of Precombined meshes stored in a lengthy XCRI subrecord. As long as the reference you are editing is one of these in the list, you will have no problems and straight file replacers will work as expected. If what you edit is NOT in this list, nothing you do will get the game to load the replacer. Workaround: Make a small edit to one of the references in the XCRI list. This will then allow the cell to behave normally as though nothing was wrong. Finding a reference that's appropriate to edit requires the use of xEdit though since these lists are not available in the CK. If the reference you are editing was already in this list, you have effectively used the workaround and all consequences of editing it that go with that. This workaround comes with a price though. It disables the precombined mesh system in that cell, which will result in a performance drop. Rack up enough of these over enough cells and you're going to be in trouble even on higher end machines. This issue has been acknowledged by Bethesda. Reported here: https://community.bethesda.net/thread/13241 (Credit to VIitS on Nexus for explaining it) The above issue has been unfortunately confirmed to be how their system is intended to work. This has the potential to be severely limiting to any mods editing cell data whether it's an exterior or interior. Further updates on this issue. Apparently SOME of it isn't intended after all and an "upcoming patch" will be addressing it. As of Patch 1.6, this problem is now SUBSTANTIALY WORSE than before. If a mod, whether flagged as an ESM or not, edits ANY reference in a cell that's part of a precombined mesh, all of the other references which are also part of that will simply not load when approached on foot (and presumably via fast travel). No collision, nothing. Just void space with Havok objects flaoting in the air that fall to the ground once touched. Removing only those edits which touch a precombined mesh resolves the problem, but that's not going to be feasible in a lot of cases. Disappearing buildings are confirmed fixed as of Official Patch 1.7.7.0. It is still unknown if this has corrected the greater problem of disabling precomb in a cell.
