Safe Mid-game

31/8/24

Safe Mid-game

Bug Fixes

  • Added an Extra Fixes section for the smaller mods.
  • Switched to the ESL version of Hostile NPC Respawn Fix and Companion Jump Fall Pose Fix so that users don't get confused and instructions are easier (since the ESL files are ordered first).
  • Removed the following mods:
    • Outfit ReDress Fix, the bug it fixes is rare and you might not ever see it while playing TMR. The problem is that the mod creates a far easier bug to see with Paladin Danse's helmet equipping animation.
    • Long Save Bug Fix, not necessary anymore thanks to a Sim Settlements 2 update and it might cause performance issues in edge cases.
    • Fixed Protectron Textures, the same fixes are partially covered by UFO4P and the only one missing can barely be seen.

    • Moon Rotation Fix
    • Weapon Rack Fixes - WRR

Gameplay

22/7/24

NOT Safe Mid-game

Bug Fixes

  • Removed the following mods:
    • Hostile NPC Respawn Fix, it currently causes a respawn bug in certain locations. It'll come back once fixed.
    • Marine Combat Armor Material Fix and Marine Wet suit Material Fix, they share file name making things confusing during installation and their changes are too subtle and specific to warrant 2 spots in the already massive list of fixes.

21/7/24

Safe Mid-game

Gameplay

  • Removed the Ironsight Fixes - RAW INPUT Patch because it's no longer needed with 0.94-beta and up.

13/7/24

Safe Mid-game

Gameplay

  • Removed the Loot Logic and Reduction - UFO4P Patch because the CFM one (1.0.1) makes it redundant. The patch will stay on the Hub for people not using CFM.

9/7/24

NOT Safe Mid-game

Introduction

  • Re-added VC++ Runtime Libraries installation steps as a fallback to mysteriously missing libraries from MO2's installer.

Utilities

  • Removed the following mods:
    • Private Profile Redirector, it provides minimal performance benefits and its removal allows simplifying the installation of Buffout 4 NG.
    • Baka MaxPapyrusOps, Buffout 4 NG >=1.33.0 replaces it.

Bug Fixes

  • Switched back to Buffout 4 NG.
  • Removed the following mods:
    • Interior NavCut Fix, Buffout 4 NG >=1.34.0 replaces it. Mac and Linux users will need to disable this fix in Buffout and use the No Multithreading version of the original mod, steps are provided in the guide.
    • Combat Shutdown Grenade Fixes, it causes strange NPC behavior in combat where they just randomly flee for a split second and then snap back into it.
    • Jet Script Bug Fix, UFO4P includes the same fix.
    • Energy Weapons Fix, it has major balance implications and causes VATS to incorrectly report expected damage.
    • 3rd Person Behavior Fixes, it causes a bug where reloads get cancelled in third person.
  • Added the following mods:
    • General Atomics Galleria Speaking Guard Gutsy Voice Fix
    • Companion Shoots At Player Fix - F4SE
    • Empty Vendor List Bug Fix - F4SE

2/6/24

Introduction

  • Removed VC++ Runtime Libraries installation steps, as the Mod Organizer 2 installer now handles it (2.5.1rc2-ML1.3 onwards).

22/5/24

LOD

  • Added steps to downgrade the BA2 header version for compatibility with TexGen until it gets an update.

6/5/24

NOT Safe Mid-game

Whole Guide

  • The guide now uses 1.10.163.0 code and 1.10.980.0 assets, this means that GOG copies are no longer supported (they don't have the new assets). On the other hand, staying on a full downgrade would mean outdated fixes for everyone.

Bug Fixes

  • Added Melee Sneak Locomotion Animation Blending Fix.

Visuals

  • Added Diamond City Supplements.

29/4/24

Safe Mid-game

MO2

  • Switched to the MO2 installer over the archive download in order to prevent missing AV exclusions.

27/4/24

Safe Mid-game

Setup

25/4/24

Safe Mid-game

Utilities

24/4/24

Safe Mid-game

Utilities

  • Improved the High FPS Physics Fix intructions with extra information and by differentiating the best FPS limiter setup based on VRR and fixed refresh rate.

Bug Fixes

    • Companion Jump Fall Pose Fix - F4SE - Garden of Eden SE
    • Combat Shutdown Grenade Fixes - F4SE - Garden of Eden SE

23/4/24

Safe Mid-game

Utilities

  • High FPS Physics Fix AllowTearing is now part of the instructions for any setup and not just VRR ones. A note with details is included.

Bug Fixes

  • Added Godrays Performance Fix Redux - ESPless and bundled it with Weapon Debris Crash Fix in a Nvidia-only section of the page.

21/4/24

NOT Safe Mid-game

MO2

  • Streamlined and corrected BethINI instructions.
  • Removed the Custom INI because its features are available through BethINI Pie.

Utilities

  • Switched back to High FPS Physics Fix FramerateLimitMode 0 in VRR because of awful frametime consistency in mode 1. Also changed PostloadingMenuSpeed to 3 to avoid enemy AI engaging in combat before the player gains PC control after fast travel or loading.
  • Removed Long Loading Times Fix, its loading time improvements are marginal once High FPS Physics Fix is configured properly and there's the chance of introducing more issues without extra configuration that someone might miss.

Bug Fixes

  • Added clearer instructions for PRP 74's extra plugins that can't be used by the guide.
  • Added the following mods:
    • Hostile NPC Respawn Fix

User Interface

  • Updated MCM Settings Manager - TMR Configuration.
  • Removed the following mods:
    • HUDFramework, it is no longer needed
    • MCM Booster, the amount of MCMs in the guide is too low to need any caching
    • MCM Categorizer, same reason as above but for categories
    • Less intrusive tutorial, beginners are better off with the more invasive tutorial so that they have time to read. BethINI Pie exposes the option for those who want to disable it
    • Grab and Eat Revisited - Quick Use items, too many user reports and requires extra patching

Gameplay

  • Removed the following mods:
    • Complex Vendors - UFO4P Patch, no longer needed.
    • NPCs Use Items, this can get spammy and incredibly annoying especially if playing in Survival difficulty like the guide suggests
    • DirectHit, damage in VATS doesn't reflect the mod's mechanics
    • Bastion - A Power Armor Overhaul, vanilla power armor is already quite a strong buff
    • Thrive Redone, some of its rebalance might be too stark
    • Weapon Scrapping Redone, returns an excessive amount of materials
    • Clothing Scrapping Redone, same as above
  • Added the following mods:
    • Molotov Cocktail Nerf, they are incredibly overpowered (against the player) especially in survival
