Simple enough fix for that. Just Bethesda being Bethesda.

r/fo4 - New Fallout 4 Patch requires workaround to use mods.

So freaking annoying.

I agree with you. After 200 years at least some areas should be almost overgrown with greenery. Someone will make that as a mod and when they do I will gladly install it.

Already exists.

Indeed. I think this should be the case after a much shorter time. The world wasn’t actually killed, and plants are more resistant to radiation than animals. Except where humans have intervened or where industrial waste is super-toxic, pretty much all of the region should be under dense forest cover with the occasional lush meadow or overgrown bog. Even 10 years should be enough for weeds cover everything except major structures and large concrete expanses.

Yes, completely ignoring the 200+ years story beat solves so many thematic and narrative problems.:-)

That’s been my approach. I just assume everyone I’m talking to are radiation addled idiots having a bad day, and we all know bad days seem to last 10x as long as a good one. So yeah, I’ve been in cryo for about 20 years, not 200.

Hope it isn’t a spoiler to mention you get sweet sweet artillery fire after you free a certain settlement. The cool thing that makes settlements way more useful is that the artillery has a limited range. So if you want fire support in downtown Boston or back near Sanctuary or whatever, you must build artillery in some other settlements. I thought that was really cool, and makes settlements way more valuable now. It also makes you wan to staff and defend those settlements. Great to see this little gameplay device in the game. I’m having fun making fire support bases. The artillery crews are the cream of the crop of my settlers, they get laser weapons and suits whenever I find some in the wasteland.

Also loving that you need ceramic, copper, screws, aluminum and other commodities. It’s a little thrill to come across a bunch of dirty ashtrays and coffee mugs in an abandoned break room and see all the little magnifying glasses on everything.

I just wish the broken quests would be fixed. I have two I can’t get rid of from my log, one with two items I can’t get rid of (can’t drop or scrap or store), and then there are the phantom quest markers on the map that won’t go away. Minor annoyances mostly but still annoyances.

OTOH, some of the little questlets are funny.

Heard it causes some issues with mods and since mods fix more major bugs than this mini patch does… Well, it is steam so i probably don’t have any choice i guess.

Really, why could they not fix something like the melee rank 5 perk? It seems so simple and it was for fans who fixed it almost immediately.

Thank you but I am looking for something that turns the world a bit more green.

Gordon_Bleu · 2015-12-07T13:14:07.000Z

I have a quest where the NPC did not show up. There’s just a marker. Maybe she was killed on the way over. Poor Ness.

Did you not look at the pictures?

How do you get them to wear new stuff? I see how can do that on named settlers (you can tell them to use something) but not the generic “Settler”. Or am I missing something?

When the mod can impact trees then I will be more interested. Currently seeing a few green bushes in the middle of a group of dead trees does not have much appeal.

That took me a bit to find out. Trade them the items, then mouse over the item in their inventory and press “T” to have them equip it.

For most folks, they wear full-suit gear, so if you have them equip a leg piece, it will unequip their “Wasteland Farmer” outfit, leaving them in underwear and a shin-guard. Things like harnesses and uniforms (fatigues, for example) will stay on and equip the armor over it. Plan accordingly.

Ah, ok, companions show that as an option on the inventory transfer screen but the “settlers” don’t so I didn’t know you could do that for them. Thanks.

The armor system is ludicrous, with the propensity for nearly naked people with bits of leather strapped on them. Hmm, now that I think of it, are we sure this isn’t the “Fifty Shades of Grey” mod?

Not sure what you are talking about. There are “outfits” which cannot have armor added to them. Then there are other items like the Vault Suit that can be modded. That’s hardly “ridiculous”. If it really bothers you, there’s a mod that allows you to use armor mods/enhancements with any article of clothing.
