My group is stable because, I have for the most part ,been working that list for 3 years, pruning and trimming, being selective about authors, cleaning up places where there are conflicts using FO4edit, and putting my mod order together without relying on just loot.
i see, thats why u have many mods which already included in newer mods for ex "auto doors" is included in workshop framework (required for SS2).
but, as long as "it just work" then its fine, i guess.
Other than the occasional script lag (Due to PANPC mostly) I can run 3 to 4 hours or more at a time with no crash. SS2 is very clean for a new mod, particularly for its size, but the dialog mods seemed to me to cause the most issues. Though its not wholly clear, to me, as to why the interact the way they do.
this is exactly my concern right now, and this is what i mean.
its quite hard about PANPC, at first i barely notice the difference it make, but when i do another playthrough its become clear, vanilla AI quite ...., it just charge u whatever the situation. so this will be "must have mods" for me.
yea u right, thanks to the new SS2 (+ using baka scrapheap) it went smooth on my previous playthrough without crash, but im worried about the future when my settlement became big (just manage few small settlement).
maybe someone can share experience with those 2 mods and already have big settlement (especially "the triangle of death" settlement).
I appreciate your confidence, but I work in IT support. I am not entirely sure I want to spend my weekends "playing" support too.
very nice of you sharing tips and trick.
About 100. I could probably purge a few more with no noticeable effect of my gameplay (clothing or settlement objects mods I don’t use but have just in case). I recently did a purge based on posts here of mods that break precombines (or are likely to) with some noticeable improvement to my FPS. On the lookout for green mods next to add, although I’m sort of hanging out for FLORA to come out at some point
if you want a "green" mods, i thinks fallout seasons is good in my experience. not really change the commonwealth into forest, but its reasonable green i guess. the most important thing is it quite friendly about fps loss.
My problem with loose files is no matter what Mod Manager I've used (NMM, MO, MO2, Vortex) I always end up having stragglers if I disable a mod for a new play through, or change profiles. I've not knowingly had that problem with archives.
this is really the downside about "loose", usually i just reinstall/use backup.
