even better, a mod that allows you to kill him, but then punishes you with a ghost of him that follows you around. Dont know why that would be a good idea...
A note on the Companion Accuracy Mod: While everyone gets a bonus from vanilla, the size of the bonus depends on the particular companion. So Piper only gets a tiny bonus but someone like MacCreedy becomes the master marksman that he claims to be.
@@tris7794 because u join nuka raiders, you crossed the line general. There some things i can't forgive. Before i do anything, There's another settlement that needs our help. I'll mark it on your map.
@@theskullicorn4588 my first time was a mixed bag, When i learnt that the deciples Have a grudge on the BOS i just killed them all. Hard 2 believe ik. I also have a mod and made an Eyebot named Vice Miami.
7:50 The animations for the 'improved' power armor getting in/out are actually vanilla, they just made it so it always happens. The usually only trigger when you're in combat, but the mod makes it so you're always doing the combat animation
A tiny mod I really like is "moveable power armor". While in building mode it lets you move a suit of power armor around like a settlement object. It's a must have for me.
I've recently gotten back into fallout and done new playthroughs telling myself "railroad railroad RAILROAD" and I'm so devoted to BoS I just keep doing BoS playthroughs lol
i hear ya man, i was like i want to do bos this time instead of minute men, and in the end i am like omg these xenophobic guys are seriously starting to make my choice feel bad.
No list of quality of life mods would be complete without one that allows you to increase companion affinity by killing Marcy. [Critical hit on Marcy Long] ka-ching! +2XP [Codsworth loved that.] Then, party fanfare and confetti falls from the sky. Neutral NPCs smile and wave. Hostiles NPCs greet you with a fist bump instead of attacking, and deathclaws purr like kittens. For three full days, the weather is all sunshine and rainbows, and peace, love, and happiness reigns all over the wasteland. ^-^
Especially if you use Do-It-Yourshelf and/or Dino's Decorations. Using them for about a dozen pieces alongside a few mostly undecorated buildings can easily fill up most settlement budgets.
Easy fix for consoles as well as pc. Although it is time consuming. You can increase the build limit by dropping armor and weapons on the ground. Then go into build mode and either store or scrap the items you dropped. When a game like this comes out and is buggy as hell, and the developers refuse to fix day one problems, I don't consider this cheating. Just using the game mechanics as they were given to me! Also their are mods that do this. And for pc, you can console command a larger build size that won't affect achievements.
I've pushed Sanctuary to the absolute limit and the only thing which caused it to crash was when I tried to mod Combat Armor. I found that it was because I had about 20 full suits of Combat Armor stored there ! When I scrapped it all, no more crashes.
I love the way you review mods. You show the vanilla, you show the results of the mods, and you explain what the mod does. Very informative and instructive.
i think Companions should have infinite ammo for their default weapon type Example Piper should have infinite 10mm ammo for any 10mm Pistol you give her
Settlers only need one ammo, it never leaves their inventory. Companions will use the ammo you give them though. If you give a companion a flamer, for example you'll find that four seconds later they've used all the fuel you have them and they'll switch back to their usual weapon.
Like one of those big SJW women with oversized layers of cloth as dresses, looking like she’s from Matilda-looking ass. Or like my profile pic...barbecue Becky.
The animations for getting into and out of power armor quickly are just the normal animations for getting into and out of power armor during combat. The mod doesn't give new animations, it just sets it so that the animations used are always the during combat ones
That ammo / armour mod is a godsend. Since they can't hit anything with 200+ ammo, I was shocked to see that quickly, their ammo was gone and their power armour fell to pieces. They should have made durability for ALL gear or left it out of the game entirely. So, they can wear combat armor and go toe-to-toe with a deathclaw and laser barrage from a sentry bot and their combat armour is not tattered and destroyed, but a full suit of the best power armour + mods + mark VI and it falls to pieces in minutes?
This bothered me too, for such a long time! I mean, dont get me wrong, I like realism in my games, but there is this distinct point at which things become just realistic enough to be annoying. I mean, if we speak of realism, then why couldn't they repair their own stuff, loot their own ammo and actually pick up decent weapons? Like, its not even funny how ridiculously bad this is! A companion in powerarmor should always be taking care of it themselves or if thats too much of a hassle to programm, not need to repair it at all. It's mindboggling, how they managed to make settlers, much more useful companions than the actual companions.
It would be nice to add in a mod with new clothing station, and clothes washing and bathing station (G - Rated) so settlers can clean themselves up, and automatically upgrade their clothing to new clean clothing. Sure, it's a broken world, but no excuse for poor hygiene and living in scrap clothing... Also they keep walking around in trash. The 'Scrap Everything' mod lets you clean up those textures as scrap, but the NPCs living in a settlement really should clean up all the loose trash everywhere - it's their new home, after all.
Bugs aside people should support Bethesda in regards to making a game in the first place and putting so much into it. Bugs will always come with such large open world games. Bethesda just needs to actively update/patch the game after release something they are rather mediocre with doing
You can say what you will about it but without them there would be no game in the first place... also they hold the rights to it :/ Also never said Obsidian was not better. Obsidian fucking shits on almost all western companies in regards to making RPGs. Doesn't help that Obsidians competition is fucking retarded or dead in literally everything but the name (eg. bioware)
Snapbeds - lets you build 2-person beds in your settlement, whether the side by side type like you find in Covenant, or bunk beds which you can find all over the Commonwealth. Halves the space beds take up so you can use space more efficiently. Scrap dead things - lets you compost the bodies of things that attack your settlements. Nothing goes to waste. I can't find it in my download history, but it's called something like "Scavver's toolbox" that lets you break down your junk items into components while on the go, like how you can do so at workbenches in 76, to reduce carry weight (doesn't work on weapons or armor though)
Sometimes companions can surprise. I remember when I was still quite a low level and heading towards Croup Manor, I saw the two sentry bots on the bridge, freaked out, took a Rad X and jumped into the water. At the same time Valentine just kept going and without any help from me, took both of them down with his pipe revolver.
I so love the unbreakable power armor and companion free ammo one, and I agree with it for the same reason you said... Plus, look at Paladin Danse. He is able to take care of his own armor, why can't everyone else?
So I just watched this video, listened to it the entire way through, then I looked at the name. It took me a good long while to realize that this is the exact same oxhorn that I watched many years ago doing warcraft shorts and it made me really happy to know that he went on to do more things and is still thriving.
In Skyrim companions are very accurate at high levels, have infinite ammo, and you don't have to repair their armor. Why they didn't carry this over into Fallout 4 is beyond me
honestly i agree, in fallout 3 super mutants had conversations with each other, it would be nice to have settlers have conversations. but no Bethesda would rather make sure you can walk around with the name fuck face, and have codsworth be able to speak it. i mean seriously i would love to see how that conversation went down at bethesda, you know what we should do. make a wider range of names codsworth can speak. yeah i agree, but you have to have codsworth call you mr fuckface or mr fucker.
The most subtle mod to fix something is making the Hunting Rifle right handed. The Vanilla version has the receiver/bolt on for left handed peeps. There are 1 or 2 guys who fixed it and also added some nice animations to go with it.
Yeah, it;s literally not there's to give. Besides most people strongly suspect Beth have a side deal with the UFO4P team, to take down their first UFO4P that didn't require any DLC. Which is the only thing that actually makes sense. So no, Beth doesn't want it. Keeping it strictly for all DLC, incentives buying their Season Pass, or GOTY edition.
@@AIIEYESONME GOTY edition has been cracked for years, they're only screwing themselves out of sales with that attitude. I'm not gonna pay for the copy I play on PC because I've already bought on PS4 and it DOESN'T WORK.
Awesome mod list! Fixes a lot of things I didn't even know I had problems with. One of my personal favourites lowers the volume of generators (think it's called 'quieter settlements') which was a godsend for me.
Great selection! There's one that you missed that orders your keys and security cards in a single inventory item, the keychain. Less inventory clutter is always nice, that mod was awesome for quality of life for me
Here are 8 more I consider quality-of-life mods or anti-frustration mods : - Provisioner Supply Containers : surprised you missed that one. Especially awesome to anyone who plays the Settlement game and tries to gear all their settlers. Seriously a must have. - ShelteredBeds : if you play the Settlement game, trying to figure out which beds are deemed un-sheltered by the game (often the vast majority of them) is insane! -20 Happiness for... what is basically a Bethesda bug. - Valdacil's Item Sorting (and related sister mods) : it makes items better sorted / categorized in the Pip-Boy. - No offscreen settlement attacks : as the name says. I refuse the random dice roll, so the actual defense and set-up is played. Needs more testing though. The game is quirky with those things. - QuickTrade: open trade with Settlers and Companions instantly with one key! www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/16229/? - Quest Tags : mostly useful for newer players. - Vertibird Beacon : you radio call in a lift. No un-immersive smoke signals which do not make that much sense. No need to craft more. - Full Dialogue Interface: www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1235/?
Woah, I just had tge weirdest timing and ad to play for me while watching this video, one of the new 'Series of Unfortunate Events' commercials. "... So you open up the door to Home Plate to find that-" * commercial starts * "Your parents have died in a terrible fire." Boy, that escalated quickly.
For me, there's also the lever-action rifle reload fix. And my two favorite, currently, that are the bright green with bright pink heads ghoul retexture and Sponge Bob's Chocolate dude ghoul sound replacer.
Great video Oxhorn, this really helped me out to make my playtrough much more enjoyable. I also suggest these Longer Power Lines Darker Nights Scrap Everything
I use Better Companions instead of Inf Ammo & Pwr Armor. It seems to be a lot more compatible with other mods and also fixes things like sneaking (no more dogmeat setting off ever mine in the commonwealth) and gun accuracy as well.
I have defended my settlement from supermutants before and was in a rush because someplace else was being attacked. Apparently there was another one or two extra supermutants I had missed, "Failed: Help Defend Sanctuary"
I chose to use the Modify Companion Weapons mod instead. It lets you upgrade the unique weapon that they come with, which has infinite ammo. However, any other weapon needs ammo. I give all of my companions a backup melee weapon for those enemies that rush right at them. It works great. The only thing is the author didn't update it for Nuka World, so you can't upgrade Gage's weapon.
The last two mods were honestly a must download for me (I have the unofficial Fo4 patch) I always found it annoying how companions couldn't hit anything and that they didn't have their own ammo. Thanks Ox :D
You should try the "Better Companions" mod by techprince. www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/18547/? It not only increases the accuracy of most companions from 60% to 75%, and gives them unlimited ammo and unbreakable power armor, but it also makes them immune to fall damage. I like how it makes companions specialized in certain weapons. They can still use any weapon, but when using their specialized weapon, they deal 20% more damage. Their specializations also fit them.
At the very, very start of the video, when oxhorn says best quality of life mods, Solomon says high quality chems, meaning drugs.... that was amazing timing, oxhorn.
man, I remember the days when Boone could snipe a deathclaw from 18 light-years away. it's kinda sad that most companions can't aim. really glad that mod brings it all back.
For me it's piper, I send her to sanctuary, which is also my main base. So I go to the crafting station and what does she do? "folks are just looking for a hand, all we have to is offer" I can't even remember how many times I've heard that line, it's fucking haunting at this point. It got so bad I don't like her as a companion, so she just chills in diamond city.
Shell Rain and Visual Reload are both kinda nice. The former causes shell casings to persist for longer, while the latter drops physics enabled magazines every time you reload. It doesn't sound like much, but it adds a bit more detail after any prolonged firefight.
Cheers mate! I did download those "Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch", "Loot Detector - Scrapper Corpse Highlighting" and "Faster Terminal Displays" - mods. Those mods came with great help! :) Keep on doing the good work of yours mate!
I'm surprised Don't Call me Settler didn't make the cut. Yes I'm aware that it's been set to hidden on the nexus but you can find the last working version if you look around on the net....
From what I recall it was only the scripts like Burn, Baby Burn that was causing the damage. So long as you disable those it works pretty well without damage. There was a article about it on the Sim Settlements page, the naming and settler spawn rates don't seem to cause any save damage.... Still there is a new alternative available called "Immersive Settlers" that takes care of the naming issue.....
During the bunker hill battle i heard a legendary synth die I never found that corpse But I still got the last laugh I finished bunker hill without firing a shot nor making any faction mad at me ^_^
If you back out of the "Send Companion To" window instead of selecting a location then they'll go to the place you first recruited them (Publick Occurences, Valentine's Detective Agency, Combat Zone etc) IF you've never sent them somewhere else. Some companions default to the Red Rocket (like Strong)
I have set strong as my companion and He freaking Keeps babbling stuffs all the freaking time "Strong Hugry want some... Blah blah" "Strong wants to do more fight blah blah"
Oxhorn hey oxhorn do you think it is lore friendly to use guns from fallout new Vegas in fallout 4 cause I have a mod that gives me guns from new Vegas
I'd like a mod that changes Dogmeat's Ai so he don't run ahead of you. Especially when you're shooting a car or lobbing a grenade. or when you're going to shut a door and he runs through and opens it right back up because it's in front of you. Dogs can't open doors.
I love the "move power armor in the workshop" mod. Saves so much time when trying to organize your collection. Only downside is it only works for vanilla armor, so all the DLC power armors like the Vim! suits and Nuka Cola suits can only be moved the old fashioned way.
there is a mod: start me up, that allows u to start wherever and whoever u like, and slightly tweaks main quests so that it make sense to do them if u r not shauns father
ive noticed a lot of variance in the folower accuracy, like the railroad dude hits em everytime more or less and i love his dorky undercover act anyways (like he changes his outfits sometimes like going into vault 88 he puts on a vault suit and what not
Had my character just short of level 100 when the game started freezing every time I went to a craft or repair station. Thanks to Bethesda's lack of support I found the only solution was to completely uninstall, then reinstall and start the game from the very beginning by making the run to Vault 111 all over again
Tip/Request: I love that you make it clear which mods you're talking about ... But I don't want even half of these. That being said, what you can do to make it easier for people (like myself) that pick and choose their mods carefully, not just before, but ESPECIALLY AFTER, you mention each mod and showcase it ... Mention the name one more time - even if just verbally and real quick. I have to rewind after each mod that I actually want to recall the name again. Thanks again for the great vid!
My Vanilla curie is actually pretty damn deadly... She started off a pretty poor shot, but over time has become utterly deadly with the fully modded laser rifle I gave her.. So much so that I'm having to be quick to get any kills..
When you said to watch Preston as he takes down twenty raiders, I thought you'd be joking and that he'd be down in seconds. But nope, actual badassery. Good shit. Getting that one for sure.
1- Full dialogue interface mod 2- Mute voice mod 3-Turn off dialogue camera 4-Experience Fallout's purest magic of imagining your characters perfect voice.
I built a Vault with the Vault-Tec workshop DLC. It took me about 2 hours to build the structure and a third of the decorations and interior. My game crashed without obvious reason and I didn´t safe/quick safe... So much time wasted.
yeah i was doing the quest for the unstoppables home base, cleared it out, and just as i was about to save, the game utterly has a brain fart and dies. that really turns me off wanting to play.
Old video but still good mods - he neglected to mention that he's clearly using All Settlements Extended since that's the only way to build where he is in Hangman's Alley and it also looks like maybe Sim Settlements since that's how you'd get garden plots on a roof.
We'll at least it does for us, making money off a cheap, outdated game engine we don't have to spend time or money on, anyway: Also Bethesda. Would you like to buy the Ultimate Edition, it comes with a Hefty Trash bag?
Absolutely killer video Oxhorn. It should be one of the first and foremost modding videos presented to any Fallout 4 player. Can't believe I've gone over a year without it.
here are a few of my favorite/must have mods: "better mod descriptions, valdacil's item sorting, 10mm smg(the 10mm smg from fallout 1), raider overhaul, companion status, true storms, realistic lighting, vivid weathers, salvage beacons and the various patches for said mods.
Junk master this mod is amazing also BS Defense cause it makes all your turrets and defenses actually capable of protecting your settlements without you having to go there all the time
i would have loved to see bethesda put in the junk everything that they did with 76, like seriously if it's all junk, just let me break it down to it's base material.
Yes! I built a lovely marketplace in the subway station in Vault 88, near the manhole cover exit. Imagine my unpleasant surprise when all the shopkeepers and guards I assigned to that area refused to actually man their posts, instead wandering around the main cavern as if they weren't employed at all. (I mean, I could trade with the traders, and the guards did produce defense, but you wouldn't know it by looking at them.) I am definitely getting Settler Sandbox Expansion.
Hahaha, but your point is failed a bit since its not really required... just Oxhorn's channel is focused around story but also settlements and mods ext.. so he expects his viewers to be intrested in that ingame and probably have it. Ofcourse you don't need any settlement perks if you don't build settlements. But your point works with other things.
Cheat Terminal (the holotape) can be used for better immersion. After I visited Virgil in the Glowing Sea i used "change appearance" to turn my skin a reddish shade and add damage to my face, removing it later after time and a doctor visit. I also use CT to tweak my companions over time, Piper would get too hot in that big coat in warmer months. Basically I make everyone look like our circumstances dictate. I also can change all the bugs so they dont fly long distances to bite me when they've got other animals to bite right next to them. Cheats have their uses, especially if you're making video or picture stories for posterity :) I do the same in Skyrim and GTA V.
Another huge benefit of the X-01 flashlight removal is it actually removes the flashlight effect from the center of the X-01 helmet, so when you're talking to people you don't see a massive flashlight glare effect in the center of your forehead. Why someone at Bethesda thought "yep, that looks good" is beyond me. Another mod I highly recommend for the X-01 is "Talking heads retexture" by Castell. Easly one of my all-time favorite texture mods. It always upset me that Bethesda made this awesome looking recreation of the iconic Enclave power armor from Fallout 2, but they didn't give it orange eyes. Seriously, what the hell, Bethesda? It's the fucking boxart for Fallout 2. How can you mess that up? "Talking heads" gives the X-01 a very accurate looking retexture to make it look just like the Enclave armor from Fallout 2.
Just a heads up the mod " Shaikujin's Better Warnings for Settlements Being Attacked " is now called " Shaikujin's Better Settlement Alerts" on Bethesda...
