Stumble across your video after deleting all my mods and realizing I could have done this and kept them.

Not only that but I already had all of these optimization mods except memory extender. As someone who mods a lot of other games I know how important something like that is. Thank you for your work.

I've been converted ESPs to ESLs in Vortex for a while now. I've never had any issues, but I recommend keeping notes of every mod that you convert from ESP to ESL to make it easier to backtrack and fix an issue just in case something doesn't work.

Merging plugins does not fix inherent load order problems, and they are a pain in the ass if you want to merge complex weapon/quest mods. Bigger pain in the ass checking for errors and again, dealing with the load order. GPU graphics do not affect the game's engine limitations.

I stumbled upon this video from watching a bunch of your other mod highlight videos you've made and this one is definitely an eye opener. I tried to install Buffout 4 but that didn't work for me so i left it in a "disabled" state in Vortex. What i probably missed was manually installing the TBB Redistributable files in Fo4 directory. Also the additional Baka Scrapheap and High FPS Physics Fix look to be an interesting mods to look at. Thanks again for the video and keep up the good work~

@PanicLedisko 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah this is something that pissed me off, when I downloaded Buffout it didn’t come up with that window showing everything I needed so I totally missed downloading that TBB file too! And I’m somewhere with no wifi either so I’ve gotta wait to download ugh lol its been killing me!

I just hit my limit of 255 mods a few weeks ago and FUBARed my game since like 90 of the mods were out of date and conflicting with each other and all that.

Recently came across this video - Thank you! I've previously come across most of the mods you featured but didn't install them due to all the supposed bugs that had been reported. Followed your guidance from start to finish - Wow! Didn't know FO4 could run so quickly and stably. Cut my 255 esp count to less than half. Had memory CTD problems but couldn't ferret out the cause. Buffout 4 flagged a problem with the Better Stores mod that I fixed with FO4edit. Problems over. Loading screens duration were slashed. Liked and subscribed. Again, thank you! Off to hunt for more mods...

Anyone wanting to take it further, you can merge mods with zEdit, and other similar programs, I just googled this to see if a way to lift the limit was found yet. It's also been theorized that you can flag any non eslable plugin as an esm, and bypass the limit of 255 esps, but you would then have to do it for all esps in your load order, and any other esp you decided to add after that.

I'm so addicted to this game that I started an Excel spreadsheet to track every single thing I do to the game. Every mod installed, date and time installed,when, pertinent locations in the Commonwealth, name of the d-loaded file, name of the esp, etc. I also enter date and time of each CTD or bug or distorted graphics, etc. This way, I can more easily narrow down the mod the mod that caused it, disable it in Vortex, and try to fix. I keep the spreadsheet open always when I'm running F4.
