What are you favorite music mods?

I've been using the ZP suite of music mods lately, but I was wondering what other music mods people might use or enjoy and why. I have a few mods which add radio stations (Atomic Radio, Minute Men Military Radio, Cyber Jazz Radio, and Diamond City Radio Extended [thank god I saved that file]) but for immersion I turn them off while running around in the wild pretending the bad guys can hear it. (Isnt't there a mod that does that?) so mods which add really good background music are really important to me.

Downgrade Crash Severity 5

I must preface this plea with the unfortunate fact that I've scrubbed all my mods, alongside any "receipts" and other such useful info in order to till the "soil" that is my Fallout 4 folder.

Now, onto the issue: recently I've been suffering crashes on startup. Nothing new, and somewhat manageable. I used CLASSIC to scan my crash logs and found something I've yet to encounter before: a Downgrade crash.

It left me stumped. I do not believe my over 1000 mods had anything to do with it it. I had Addictol installed, I made sure to download files that only worked with Old-Gen, as I always downgraded using Simple Downgrader, or was compatible with all versions. But my memory is faulty, so I may perhaps be wrong.

I attempted to solve the issue the old fashioned method: disabling mods in sequences to identify the problem. This arduous method gave me no answer, however. I still crashed to desktop, even with no mods enabled. So I gave up and deleted everything, relegating the modification of Fallout 4 to another month or day.

If anyone has any insight into this issue that yet confounds me, I would appreciate a word of advice.

Companion Ivy Won't Start

I've been reading a lot that the Companion Ivy Mod, despite being from LL and a "sex mod" is actually really, really good. So, I went and downloaded it but it doesn't want to start. I can hear Ivy's radio and find her bunker, but the quest won't trigger. I'm trying to find the conflict in xEdit, but I'm not that experienced with that. Can someone help point me in the right direction?

Yes, I did add her to an existing game, I did see it was highly recommended to do a new game, but she could be added to a current game so I was hopeful. Any help would be appreciated.

Starting my modded game again. Got to 375 mods before I realized the game's max was 255! I'm cooked, right?

So many mods need a handful of other mods in order to work properly, so they add up quickly. 344 ESP files! They're all enabled in Vortex. Will the game just not read them?

Do I really have to go back and re-mod the game, keeping track of the ESP files? I mean, I will. I just don't want to.

I saw the suggested mod lists people put together for this sub, but few are current. All the repeated changes to the game suggest anything over a few months old isn't useful.

This game, I swear... The headaches of modding are a part of the recipe for me. I'd love to have a heavily modded game for settlement building that doesn't eventually break! I'm just too impatient to wade through the forum of every mod as I go.

Best mods for pre-built settlements?

Essentially, I don't wanna build anything except for a personal base with no settlers in it. But I want most settlements to already have something built into them to make the world more lived-in.

So far I've seen the following:

SS1 Conqueror: Outdated, seems to crash when generating the world often at the start of a playthrough.

SS2: This feature is marked as "coming soon" in the Nexus page, but it apparently does work according to some comments, couldn't find how though.

Settlement Transfer: Ungodly messy to set up, won't work properly.

If there's any other option, or if something I said here is wrong, please inform me.

FO4 May 2026 AE Build - need combat overhaul help

So previously I was using True Damage, Scourge, Munitions, etc and had a great build going on. Then the AE update detonated my load order like a nuclear bomb. 1/2 the mods received community updates, and the other 1/2 the mod authors were (understandably) like "screw that!"

So ok. I get it. Really I do. However now I'm left with the question of how to rebuild my combat overhaul? I'm NOT interested in downgrading, I'm staying on the AE engine (I don't use the AE content per se, just the build version).

True Damage seems like it works fine, but I either need an alternative for Scourge or a completely different combat eco-system.

So other than, "Stop complaining and just downgrade already!" can anyone recommend a solution that actually works for AE?

Help with clothing issues

I've had two problems that I've just been living with while playing this game but now i want to try to fix them. For context i have CBBE Skimpy Armor and Clothing as well as Armorsmith Extended and AWKCR.

First: some, not all, of the armor I get has an under layer of black beneath the clothes. This 88 overseer outfit and kellogg's outfit are pictured as a couple of examples of this.

Second: any outfit that is supposed to be a t-shirt and jeans set up just appears as the standard t-shirt and jeans. the settler in yellow hat that is cooking is wearing the actual tshirt and jeans, while the next two settlers pictured are supposed to be wearing a Slocum's Joe tshirt and jeans and a Bottle and Cappy tshirt and jeans, respectively. **note: regular tshirts act fine, ie the vault tec tshirt appears as normal. it is for some reason the outfits that are tshirts AND jeans together.

I have a feeling this is something I can fix in Bodyslide, but I rarely mess around in there bc I hardly know what I'm doing. If it isn't that, im sure its a conflict or load order issue

lmk your thoughts on how to fix this, if possible.

Does anyone Have any Military Vehicle prop mod recomendations?

Im starting a new save on Fallout 4 and I typically use a few military vehicle prop mods for my playthroughs, one of them being Modern Warfare 2 Remastered Vehicle Props but that mod was taken down unfortunately. I used that mod for helicopters and trucks with the canopy in the back. The only other mod I use is Oppressor's Military Workshop Pack - Workshop and it can replace most props except for the previously mentioned. Does anyone know any other mods that add helicopters or trucks? Let me know

How to read Addictol crash logs?

Fallout 4 nearly drove me insane today.

Vortex suddenly started disabling all my plugins over and over and i have no idea why. I am starting to get really damn tired of Vortex and its constant bullshit, but i dont want to have to reinstall everything yet AGAIN to switch to the Mod Organizer. Any way, eventually it stopped. But now my game started to crash when loading a save. Any save.

Eventually i fixed it by updating all my mods and messing around with my load order. Apparently the crashing was caused by the Previsbines Repair Pack update 81.8. Reverting back to version 81.5 fixed it.

But i still have no idea what was causing Vortex to act up.

I checked the Addictol crash logs, but i have no idea what any of that means. And provided of course that the crashing and Vortex screwing up are even related.

Every settler named "Blaze"

I'm having this issue where after the mission where we clear starlight drive in and set up a beacon there, every settler that comes there is named "Blaze",

and on top of that, sometimes a certain "Blaze" would have a exact clone of himself together with him.

there are so far 5 Blaze in my playthrough and it is very immersion breaking,

Blaze 1

Blaze 2

Clone of Blaze 2

Mod list -

- Homemaker

- Armorsmith Extended

- Better Settlers

- Scrap Everything

- AWKCR

- Unique NPCs

- Eli's armour compendium

Update - Ditched both "Unique NPCs" and "Better Settlers" and now all the blaze are back to being named settler

Getting back after about a year of not playing, what is the best way to downgrade? Also asking for some reccomendations.

Hello there. I really feel like getting back on Fo4 for my yearly month-long obsession. But there's been a few things I want to know.

  1. What version should I downgrade to (if I have to do it at all as I've heard the newer versions are fine?), and what is the best program to do it nowadays? I'm assuming MO2 is still the mod loader GOAT.

  2. What are the best new main story-altering mods? I know all about Subversion, Start Me Up, America Rising and others, but I wanna know if there's any developed since then that are worth checking out as well.

  3. What are the best gun mods if I just want customization. I love customizing guns and I want the most open, attachment-filled mods I can find.

  4. This is fairly minor, but if anyone could link a good tutorial on using looksmenu and bodyslide, that'd be nice, I could never get it to work properly on my game.

Thanks for your attention.
