It took me a week of research and tweaking to get my current mod list stable and that's only 200 mods. I had horrible problems with NACX and PRP on my last build so I avoided them this time. Now mostly getting 4K120 with excellent draw distances and very happy. Also: no grass mods. It's nice being able to see the beautiful ground textures and anything that gets dropped.
Looks like Pancuronium's finally doing what every modder aspires to do, actually play the game instead of modding it. Jokes aside, I'd be down to watch more playthroughs, hope this gets a decent amount of success
i think the blurry texture "bug" you saw was actually just the reason why BGS decided not to have dense foliage in the game to begin with. Too many draw calls. Remember, the game was made to run on a ps4.
I installed literally 1 mod, bricked my install so completely I had to manually search out & delete every file with 'fallout' in its name. Left it a little while after that
@@krischurch3763 I have literally no idea I used vortex & a lightweight FOV mod, this is basically the first time I've ever really modded anything & I may have done something wrong, not sure what though
@@krischurch3763 Yeah sounds weird that one mod would fuck up game that badly. On past month i have load something like 500 mods and having almost 400 active ones yet my game works really well.
i like how sardonic you are with these reviews and videos, and i think that's one of the main reasons i subscribed. all the meat, none of the extras (for the most part). keep it up - not that you need to be told, cause you're already nailing it
Big fan of this and would definitely watch more! It's especially nice because I know if I see any mods I'd like to try I already know they'll play well since you don't tolerate bullshit
Thoroughly enjoyable video! As always the matter of fact narration makes for a brand of dry wit that can`t really be copied. I normally don`t find playthrough videos enjoyable, but I think you swatted this one nicely outta Fenway Park. Really hope you will make another/more! Also, thank you for sharing the mod list.
Hey, you're one of the few mod reviewers I trust for their opinion on balance and compatibility of mods. I was hoping at some point to see you cover Chemfleunce and it's dependency Npc's Use. Your excuse to playthrough America Rising 2 was justified; I wanted to play it as well but had a multiple crashes on the oil rig. Would love to see more modded challenge content as well. Thanks for your time.
I more or less covered Chemfluence in my description for the AI mods video, although updates to Chemfluence may have made that writeup outdated. Regardless, Pack Attack should still be a better choice. For your crashes on the oil rig, make sure to get FGEP's latest Definitive Edition update as of February 4th, if you're using it. The oil rig is full of feral ghouls and FGEP was known to cause crashes before its update. Also, if you're using Classic Holstered Weapons, downgrade to version 1.04c. I haven't had any random crashes in areas with many NPCs since I downgraded a few weeks ago, and there seems to be no loss in functionality. Hope that helps.
@@PancuroniumB Woah, thanks for the quick response! I didn't realize that you had already covered it. Also thanks for the advice to fix the crashing because both of the mods you mention are in my load order and most likely the issues. Again thanks for the great content! Hope to see you do more modded challenge runs or modded let's plays in the future!
Further update: Thanks to you pointing out that FGEP had issues, I looked at my FGEP mods and disabled all of the and no more crashes. Then I reenabled the FGEP, FGEP scourge patch, and Scourge/FGEP 1.7x patch and tried again and it worked. So I came to the conclusion that Very Zen FGEP 4k textures was causing the issue and downgraded to the 2k version instead and have no crashes. Tbh, I really wasn't expecting a reply at all let alone answering or leading me on the right track to all my questions, especially the mod crashing one. Thanks a ton, you've saved 18 hour survival run. Now that my America Rising 2 is fixed, I am really looking forward to the potential part 2. 10/10 RUclipsr
Are you planning on making a Faction Overhaul soon? I would love to watch that video and also thank you for pointing out the long loading times bug. I've been trying to find a solution for that problem for 3 days now, and you're the one who helped me fix the issue.
Thanks for letting me know which mod was causing those texture issues. I had the same problems and couldn't figure it out for the life of me! Thank you!
The irony being that you can convince the Enclave to spare the ghouls (For a little while until the Senator shows up) It even gains you some points with mommy Whitehill
Please continue till the end of the game ! It's nice to see you do something a bit different and having fun doing it so please enjoy the game, after all it's why you make videos about it But if i'd have to make one complaint, maybe get more detailed about America Rising 2 Story's ? I didn't tried it yet cause i'm angry at fallout 4 being a bugy mess and i need a long break from it and if i have to be spoiled about AR2 plots i'd prefer to be "properly spoiled" ? Like hearing dialogs and maybe seing a bit more ? Any way it's just my opinion, do what you want it's your videos, it'll be great no matter what
“Nature takes over”. I’m all for it. But not when I’m the only one hindered. Same with fog. Visually stunning, but I’m the only one in the soup. I feel your pain about finding the bodies. It’s hard enough in Vanilla.
Great video thanks for showing many of your viewers how much of a ball ache some 0f the mods are and which need to be removed permanently. I guess it’s no fun to die constantly it takes the fun outta playing for some. I do love games where you have to fill bottles and eat to survive but your right we spend more time creating mods than playing the game I don’t remember what it’s like to play anymore. Importantly on the discord subject if you open up a discord you’ll never be the lone wanderer again. But I guess when there’s a town full of drama you can hire soldiers
Sure someone likes but i dont get it how something like maim mod makes game fun when you have blurry vision while your monitor is so red that you cant see nothing.
@@lartza_85 Agree it depends on how real you want your experience to be. If you follow Pancuronium’s track record he’s usually against things that are annoying. Which is why I tell people NAC and NAC X ain’t worth the moths in ya wallets. But hey that’s just me and I don’t play anymore, too busy making mods. It’s all you players out there who’s opinions and feed back really go a long way. If we have time to listen. What’s good about these creators is they give you a glimpse in things they try out and in this case genuine personal opinion and at least you get a try it before you buy freebie
@@jmurray2018 Yeah but if we actually are looking for realism mods like maim are far from that. But it still seems many peoples try to covert fallout either being hardcore survival game or try to make it real fps game. And im on same boat that im usually against things that are annoying, best example for this was on my last playthrough where i was building settlement on far harbor when i got so annoyed constant raining, fog and storming that i installed mod that makes fallout all sunshine, is that realistic? Hell no but if have made playing so mutch more enjoyable.
@@lartza_85 yup I used to stick to vanilla or console cmd weather. Combat mods don’t change the way the game works just tweaks the effects it’s only when you inject scripts then it becomes messy it’s scripted mods that change the game. So in reality combat mods don’t really change the game, they just change the path of the journey which ends up in the same place as it did before.
Good mod list, not too hard but not too easy either, damm apocalipse would have made this insanely harder lol, but it is fine, i too like to have a vast ammount of loot, i even use simply more ammunition to keep myself from running out of ammo too often. Getting a supressed pistol or rifle and going full on sneak is a must for MAIM, i would also reccomend a lot True damage. With the scourge player module you would be looking at about 100 health anyways so it is best to count as if every shot is lethal, use scourge to halve the enemy health and boom, perfect tactical shooter/stealth game. Also, Turret override is a very good thing to have early on when assaulting raider camps, override their turrets and snipe them while they deal with them, delicious.
Another early game masochist mod is Creatures of the Commonwealth. Because it spawns dlc enemies anywhere in the commonwealth at their normal levels, ie, level30 or above.
I know this is late but the long loading times fix blurry texture glitch can be fixed by going into the mods ini and changing quickload from false to true
most the mods i see on the list are the ones i been trying for 2 years. I like my fallout 4 Vanilla Enhanced and Fixed. I suggest Infinite Survival Mod for Saves or console commands just in case your Save gets corrupted
maim is always the right choice. you just have to adapt to tarkov playstyle to make it. go with polluted climate on the next run. youl enjoy it alot better than vivid
7:07 do u still have vivid weather here ? I like this specific weather I hated other everything about vivid and other weathets and end mods except true storms cuz is just feels generic somehow and not wow By the way forgive about this but if u continue with this mods set u r a huge masochist
If you're doing a challenge run of the game, invest heavily into Endurance. Higher your Endurance, the higher your HP goes up per level and take Life Giver as soon as you can. At a 10 Endurance, your HP only goes up by 7.5HP per level. Life Giver gives you a flat 20hp and auto regen at 3rd rank.
>people who spend so much time ... trying to craft the perfect load order that they never get a chance to play the game We all know how much pure pain these words describe, I guess. I remembered the time I tried to mod FNV, but at some point the game became just broken and needed a fresh reinstall, which was extremely time consuming with my old laptop, resulting in giving up and not playing the game at all.

0:48 "It only took about five or six hours to get the mod list together"
Seems about right for the average F4 modder
Get a mod manager lol

oh yea? my modlist so far has been in the works since december, thats 9 whole months of just downloading and tweaking mods
It takes more than 10 hours bro
its bin almost a decade, I never noticed Kellog's revolver made the sound of a shell falling until now. And now I cant unhear it, so thanks for that.
Bethesda sucks at guns.
Looks like Pancuronium's finally doing what every modder aspires to do, actually play the game instead of modding it.

I find your monotone expression in the face of the weird things that happened to be enjoyable.
agreed
I"m pretty sure it's youtubes AI voice over thing they rolled out a while ago. Noticeable when it says charisma at 1:56
I legitimately thought it was TTS
very mitten-squad imo, I love it
i think the blurry texture "bug" you saw was actually just the reason why BGS decided not to have dense foliage in the game to begin with. Too many draw calls. Remember, the game was made to run on a ps4.
That, plus BGS cant optimize their shit
Just the garbage engine they use, guarantee if they switched engines their games would be so much better.
@@voxsqyeah but also kill modding. The amount of shit this engine can take without crashing is actually unreal.

I installed literally 1 mod, bricked my install so completely I had to manually search out & delete every file with 'fallout' in its name.
Left it a little while after that
@@NM-wd7kxhow? Not looking for a full detail but how did 1 mod fuck it up so bad?

Love this kind of content. Please do more.
Wow, this is great content. You're a bit of a hidden gem. Hope to see more like this!
This was like having cake for breakfast.
You should definitely do a population mod battle between mods that add in more npcs
This was really fun to watch
3:07 That's a scary ladybug.
I really liked this :)
I like the idea of new content like challenges.
Is this where the real (brutally difficult) game begins?
babe wake up I found a new good fallout youtuber to watch every night
Give me more of of this, encore, encore! Or is that "Enclave, Enclave !" LOL

20:29 it’s probably because of the laser pistol/rifle sitting in front of it, preventing it from closing.
You should totally get someone to make this into a mod-pack for easy download because i would 100% do it.
My fav fallout 4 creator❣
That mod turns the game into a completely different game
Least modded Fo4 playthrough.
I Swear Kellogg should've made a band called "Kellogg and the Cornpop's" instead of being a hired gun
15:48 fair enough but does the mod affect settlers 🤔
What trees, grass, plants mods did you use? Thanks!
Only Commonwealth Reclamation Project. Some plants are from Mutant Menagerie.

I miss Fallsouls. listening to a holotape bricked my entire game folder though.
recommend you check out scrapper zapper, literally the best settlement scraping mod on the nexus. also this video was very enjoyable, keep it up!
Another early game masochist mod is Creatures of the Commonwealth.
Because it spawns dlc enemies anywhere in the commonwealth at their normal levels, ie, level30 or above.
Btw, you can still be level1 with level30+ enemies with that mod.
That’s what makes it hard.
a maim/directhit run! I use PANPC too. This is a good mod list!
Edit: just listened to your thoughts about MAIM lol. Its definitely hard.
I know this is late but the long loading times fix blurry texture glitch can be fixed by going into the mods ini and changing quickload from false to true
Wait a have a name suggestion could you do yourak hunt

If you do another challenge, I'd love to see you do one that's new vegas,fallout 1,2,and 3 themed (not all in one)
How did you manage to get maim and mutant menagery to work together? Did you have propper headshot kills?
Probably not, now that I think about it.
Welp there goes my hope hahaha could find out how for the life of me
ooga booga y did you use the worD neadethal that is so afensev
is that a little CRP going on? i like and impressive modding..

maim is always the right choice. you just have to adapt to tarkov playstyle to make it. go with polluted climate on the next run. youl enjoy it alot better than vivid
A fallout game on the souls ai level
True Storms is superior to Vivid Weathers not just because of visibility improvements it also helps your stealth in dark and foggy weather.
I’ll watch part two if you make it
Review some backpack mods?
7:07 do u still have vivid weather here ? I like this specific weather I hated other everything about vivid and other weathets and end mods except true storms cuz is just feels generic somehow and not wow

Yeah I was still using Vivid Weather then, with the Autumn preset.
Why did you not have the full dialogue interface mod?
What mod do you use to lean at 12:45?
Uneducated Shooter - QE Leaning and Gun Inertia.
Nice
