even better, a mod that allows you to kill him, but then punishes you with a ghost of him that follows you around. Dont know why that would be a good idea...
A note on the Companion Accuracy Mod: While everyone gets a bonus from vanilla, the size of the bonus depends on the particular companion. So Piper only gets a tiny bonus but someone like MacCreedy becomes the master marksman that he claims to be.
7:50 The animations for the 'improved' power armor getting in/out are actually vanilla, they just made it so it always happens. The usually only trigger when you're in combat, but the mod makes it so you're always doing the combat animation
No list of quality of life mods would be complete without one that allows you to increase companion affinity by killing Marcy. [Critical hit on Marcy Long] ka-ching! +2XP [Codsworth loved that.] Then, party fanfare and confetti falls from the sky. Neutral NPCs smile and wave. Hostiles NPCs greet you with a fist bump instead of attacking, and deathclaws purr like kittens. For three full days, the weather is all sunshine and rainbows, and peace, love, and happiness reigns all over the wasteland. ^-^
I've recently gotten back into fallout and done new playthroughs telling myself "railroad railroad RAILROAD" and I'm so devoted to BoS I just keep doing BoS playthroughs lol
i hear ya man, i was like i want to do bos this time instead of minute men, and in the end i am like omg these xenophobic guys are seriously starting to make my choice feel bad.
A tiny mod I really like is "moveable power armor". While in building mode it lets you move a suit of power armor around like a settlement object. It's a must have for me.
Especially if you use Do-It-Yourshelf and/or Dino's Decorations. Using them for about a dozen pieces alongside a few mostly undecorated buildings can easily fill up most settlement budgets.
Easy fix for consoles as well as pc. Although it is time consuming. You can increase the build limit by dropping armor and weapons on the ground. Then go into build mode and either store or scrap the items you dropped. When a game like this comes out and is buggy as hell, and the developers refuse to fix day one problems, I don't consider this cheating. Just using the game mechanics as they were given to me! Also their are mods that do this. And for pc, you can console command a larger build size that won't affect achievements.
I've pushed Sanctuary to the absolute limit and the only thing which caused it to crash was when I tried to mod Combat Armor. I found that it was because I had about 20 full suits of Combat Armor stored there ! When I scrapped it all, no more crashes.
Like one of those big SJW women with oversized layers of cloth as dresses, looking like she’s from Matilda-looking ass. Or like my profile pic...barbecue Becky.
i think Companions should have infinite ammo for their default weapon type Example Piper should have infinite 10mm ammo for any 10mm Pistol you give her
Settlers only need one ammo, it never leaves their inventory. Companions will use the ammo you give them though. If you give a companion a flamer, for example you'll find that four seconds later they've used all the fuel you have them and they'll switch back to their usual weapon.
I love the way you review mods. You show the vanilla, you show the results of the mods, and you explain what the mod does. Very informative and instructive.
That ammo / armour mod is a godsend. Since they can't hit anything with 200+ ammo, I was shocked to see that quickly, their ammo was gone and their power armour fell to pieces. They should have made durability for ALL gear or left it out of the game entirely. So, they can wear combat armor and go toe-to-toe with a deathclaw and laser barrage from a sentry bot and their combat armour is not tattered and destroyed, but a full suit of the best power armour + mods + mark VI and it falls to pieces in minutes?
This bothered me too, for such a long time! I mean, dont get me wrong, I like realism in my games, but there is this distinct point at which things become just realistic enough to be annoying. I mean, if we speak of realism, then why couldn't they repair their own stuff, loot their own ammo and actually pick up decent weapons? Like, its not even funny how ridiculously bad this is! A companion in powerarmor should always be taking care of it themselves or if thats too much of a hassle to programm, not need to repair it at all. It's mindboggling, how they managed to make settlers, much more useful companions than the actual companions.
Bugs aside people should support Bethesda in regards to making a game in the first place and putting so much into it. Bugs will always come with such large open world games. Bethesda just needs to actively update/patch the game after release something they are rather mediocre with doing
You can say what you will about it but without them there would be no game in the first place... also they hold the rights to it :/ Also never said Obsidian was not better. Obsidian fucking shits on almost all western companies in regards to making RPGs. Doesn't help that Obsidians competition is fucking retarded or dead in literally everything but the name (eg. bioware)
The animations for getting into and out of power armor quickly are just the normal animations for getting into and out of power armor during combat. The mod doesn't give new animations, it just sets it so that the animations used are always the during combat ones
In Skyrim companions are very accurate at high levels, have infinite ammo, and you don't have to repair their armor. Why they didn't carry this over into Fallout 4 is beyond me
I so love the unbreakable power armor and companion free ammo one, and I agree with it for the same reason you said... Plus, look at Paladin Danse. He is able to take care of his own armor, why can't everyone else?
Sometimes companions can surprise. I remember when I was still quite a low level and heading towards Croup Manor, I saw the two sentry bots on the bridge, freaked out, took a Rad X and jumped into the water. At the same time Valentine just kept going and without any help from me, took both of them down with his pipe revolver.
So I just watched this video, listened to it the entire way through, then I looked at the name. It took me a good long while to realize that this is the exact same oxhorn that I watched many years ago doing warcraft shorts and it made me really happy to know that he went on to do more things and is still thriving.
Yeah, it;s literally not there's to give. Besides most people strongly suspect Beth have a side deal with the UFO4P team, to take down their first UFO4P that didn't require any DLC. Which is the only thing that actually makes sense. So no, Beth doesn't want it. Keeping it strictly for all DLC, incentives buying their Season Pass, or GOTY edition.
@@AIIEYESONME GOTY edition has been cracked for years, they're only screwing themselves out of sales with that attitude. I'm not gonna pay for the copy I play on PC because I've already bought on PS4 and it DOESN'T WORK.
The most subtle mod to fix something is making the Hunting Rifle right handed. The Vanilla version has the receiver/bolt on for left handed peeps. There are 1 or 2 guys who fixed it and also added some nice animations to go with it.
Woah, I just had tge weirdest timing and ad to play for me while watching this video, one of the new 'Series of Unfortunate Events' commercials. "... So you open up the door to Home Plate to find that-" * commercial starts * "Your parents have died in a terrible fire." Boy, that escalated quickly.
Here are 8 more I consider quality-of-life mods or anti-frustration mods : - Provisioner Supply Containers : surprised you missed that one. Especially awesome to anyone who plays the Settlement game and tries to gear all their settlers. Seriously a must have. - ShelteredBeds : if you play the Settlement game, trying to figure out which beds are deemed un-sheltered by the game (often the vast majority of them) is insane! -20 Happiness for... what is basically a Bethesda bug. - Valdacil's Item Sorting (and related sister mods) : it makes items better sorted / categorized in the Pip-Boy. - No offscreen settlement attacks : as the name says. I refuse the random dice roll, so the actual defense and set-up is played. Needs more testing though. The game is quirky with those things. - QuickTrade: open trade with Settlers and Companions instantly with one key! www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/16229/? - Quest Tags : mostly useful for newer players. - Vertibird Beacon : you radio call in a lift. No un-immersive smoke signals which do not make that much sense. No need to craft more. - Full Dialogue Interface: www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1235/?
Awesome mod list! Fixes a lot of things I didn't even know I had problems with. One of my personal favourites lowers the volume of generators (think it's called 'quieter settlements') which was a godsend for me.
honestly i agree, in fallout 3 super mutants had conversations with each other, it would be nice to have settlers have conversations. but no Bethesda would rather make sure you can walk around with the name fuck face, and have codsworth be able to speak it. i mean seriously i would love to see how that conversation went down at bethesda, you know what we should do. make a wider range of names codsworth can speak. yeah i agree, but you have to have codsworth call you mr fuckface or mr fucker.
Great selection! There's one that you missed that orders your keys and security cards in a single inventory item, the keychain. Less inventory clutter is always nice, that mod was awesome for quality of life for me
Great video Oxhorn, this really helped me out to make my playtrough much more enjoyable. I also suggest these Longer Power Lines Darker Nights Scrap Everything
I have set strong as my companion and He freaking Keeps babbling stuffs all the freaking time "Strong Hugry want some... Blah blah" "Strong wants to do more fight blah blah"
I use Better Companions instead of Inf Ammo & Pwr Armor. It seems to be a lot more compatible with other mods and also fixes things like sneaking (no more dogmeat setting off ever mine in the commonwealth) and gun accuracy as well.
For me it's piper, I send her to sanctuary, which is also my main base. So I go to the crafting station and what does she do? "folks are just looking for a hand, all we have to is offer" I can't even remember how many times I've heard that line, it's fucking haunting at this point. It got so bad I don't like her as a companion, so she just chills in diamond city.
At the very, very start of the video, when oxhorn says best quality of life mods, Solomon says high quality chems, meaning drugs.... that was amazing timing, oxhorn.
I have defended my settlement from supermutants before and was in a rush because someplace else was being attacked. Apparently there was another one or two extra supermutants I had missed, "Failed: Help Defend Sanctuary"
For me, there's also the lever-action rifle reload fix. And my two favorite, currently, that are the bright green with bright pink heads ghoul retexture and Sponge Bob's Chocolate dude ghoul sound replacer.
The last two mods were honestly a must download for me (I have the unofficial Fo4 patch) I always found it annoying how companions couldn't hit anything and that they didn't have their own ammo. Thanks Ox :D
You should try the "Better Companions" mod by techprince. www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/18547/? It not only increases the accuracy of most companions from 60% to 75%, and gives them unlimited ammo and unbreakable power armor, but it also makes them immune to fall damage. I like how it makes companions specialized in certain weapons. They can still use any weapon, but when using their specialized weapon, they deal 20% more damage. Their specializations also fit them.
I'm surprised Don't Call me Settler didn't make the cut. Yes I'm aware that it's been set to hidden on the nexus but you can find the last working version if you look around on the net....
From what I recall it was only the scripts like Burn, Baby Burn that was causing the damage. So long as you disable those it works pretty well without damage. There was a article about it on the Sim Settlements page, the naming and settler spawn rates don't seem to cause any save damage.... Still there is a new alternative available called "Immersive Settlers" that takes care of the naming issue.....
Had my character just short of level 100 when the game started freezing every time I went to a craft or repair station. Thanks to Bethesda's lack of support I found the only solution was to completely uninstall, then reinstall and start the game from the very beginning by making the run to Vault 111 all over again
During the bunker hill battle i heard a legendary synth die I never found that corpse But I still got the last laugh I finished bunker hill without firing a shot nor making any faction mad at me ^_^
man, I remember the days when Boone could snipe a deathclaw from 18 light-years away. it's kinda sad that most companions can't aim. really glad that mod brings it all back.
Cheers mate! I did download those "Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch", "Loot Detector - Scrapper Corpse Highlighting" and "Faster Terminal Displays" - mods. Those mods came with great help! :) Keep on doing the good work of yours mate!
1- Full dialogue interface mod 2- Mute voice mod 3-Turn off dialogue camera 4-Experience Fallout's purest magic of imagining your characters perfect voice.
Another huge benefit of the X-01 flashlight removal is it actually removes the flashlight effect from the center of the X-01 helmet, so when you're talking to people you don't see a massive flashlight glare effect in the center of your forehead. Why someone at Bethesda thought "yep, that looks good" is beyond me. Another mod I highly recommend for the X-01 is "Talking heads retexture" by Castell. Easly one of my all-time favorite texture mods. It always upset me that Bethesda made this awesome looking recreation of the iconic Enclave power armor from Fallout 2, but they didn't give it orange eyes. Seriously, what the hell, Bethesda? It's the fucking boxart for Fallout 2. How can you mess that up? "Talking heads" gives the X-01 a very accurate looking retexture to make it look just like the Enclave armor from Fallout 2.
I'd like a mod that changes Dogmeat's Ai so he don't run ahead of you. Especially when you're shooting a car or lobbing a grenade. or when you're going to shut a door and he runs through and opens it right back up because it's in front of you. Dogs can't open doors.
If you back out of the "Send Companion To" window instead of selecting a location then they'll go to the place you first recruited them (Publick Occurences, Valentine's Detective Agency, Combat Zone etc) IF you've never sent them somewhere else. Some companions default to the Red Rocket (like Strong)
We'll at least it does for us, making money off a cheap, outdated game engine we don't have to spend time or money on, anyway: Also Bethesda. Would you like to buy the Ultimate Edition, it comes with a Hefty Trash bag?
When you said to watch Preston as he takes down twenty raiders, I thought you'd be joking and that he'd be down in seconds. But nope, actual badassery. Good shit. Getting that one for sure.
I built a Vault with the Vault-Tec workshop DLC. It took me about 2 hours to build the structure and a third of the decorations and interior. My game crashed without obvious reason and I didn´t safe/quick safe... So much time wasted.
yeah i was doing the quest for the unstoppables home base, cleared it out, and just as i was about to save, the game utterly has a brain fart and dies. that really turns me off wanting to play.
Oxhorn hey oxhorn do you think it is lore friendly to use guns from fallout new Vegas in fallout 4 cause I have a mod that gives me guns from new Vegas
Shell Rain and Visual Reload are both kinda nice. The former causes shell casings to persist for longer, while the latter drops physics enabled magazines every time you reload. It doesn't sound like much, but it adds a bit more detail after any prolonged firefight.
Junk master this mod is amazing also BS Defense cause it makes all your turrets and defenses actually capable of protecting your settlements without you having to go there all the time
i would have loved to see bethesda put in the junk everything that they did with 76, like seriously if it's all junk, just let me break it down to it's base material.
Tip/Request: I love that you make it clear which mods you're talking about ... But I don't want even half of these. That being said, what you can do to make it easier for people (like myself) that pick and choose their mods carefully, not just before, but ESPECIALLY AFTER, you mention each mod and showcase it ... Mention the name one more time - even if just verbally and real quick. I have to rewind after each mod that I actually want to recall the name again. Thanks again for the great vid!
Hahaha, but your point is failed a bit since its not really required... just Oxhorn's channel is focused around story but also settlements and mods ext.. so he expects his viewers to be intrested in that ingame and probably have it. Ofcourse you don't need any settlement perks if you don't build settlements. But your point works with other things.
Old video but still good mods - he neglected to mention that he's clearly using All Settlements Extended since that's the only way to build where he is in Hangman's Alley and it also looks like maybe Sim Settlements since that's how you'd get garden plots on a roof.
ive noticed a lot of variance in the folower accuracy, like the railroad dude hits em everytime more or less and i love his dorky undercover act anyways (like he changes his outfits sometimes like going into vault 88 he puts on a vault suit and what not
I love the "move power armor in the workshop" mod. Saves so much time when trying to organize your collection. Only downside is it only works for vanilla armor, so all the DLC power armors like the Vim! suits and Nuka Cola suits can only be moved the old fashioned way.
Oxhorn, I'm always so impressive how your settlements are organized. Settlers are all working and don't get stuck. And your buildings are sooooo cool! Oh yea, I also find the Settler Sandbox Expansion pretty helpful too!
Absolutely killer video Oxhorn. It should be one of the first and foremost modding videos presented to any Fallout 4 player. Can't believe I've gone over a year without it.
Just a heads up the mod " Shaikujin's Better Warnings for Settlements Being Attacked " is now called " Shaikujin's Better Settlement Alerts" on Bethesda...
It always makes me LOL when I watch my wife play and she arrives back at Sanctuary and takes the loot from her companion, becoming overencombered. ALL of her previous companions comment on it at once, over top of each other. It's greatly amusing to me. I usually just send my companions to supply lines when I'm done with them, so I never hear from them (plus it's come in handy when they help out with a fight in the field).
They should make a mod where when your settlement is under attack Preston Garvey appears in the sky like Mufasa and warns you of the attack.
Alex Cheung lol I want that now
even better, a mod that allows you to kill him, but then punishes you with a ghost of him that follows you around.
Dont know why that would be a good idea...
+Alex Cheung I didn't cry at my grandfather's funeral. But I cried after reading this comment. Ouch.. my sides.
Or he appears like a dead Jedi.
ONE OF YOUR SETTLEMENTS IS UNDER ATTACK, I L L M A R K I TO N Y O U R M A P
I love how half of these mods are all about shutting other people up
Agreed
I need one that skips the comments about not picking up that junk.
A note on the Companion Accuracy Mod: While everyone gets a bonus from vanilla, the size of the bonus depends on the particular companion. So Piper only gets a tiny bonus but someone like MacCreedy becomes the master marksman that he claims to be.
Von Neely is that actually how it works or is that what you think should happen as that's a really good idea if so
Nightwing: That's how it's supposed to work. I think there was a video attached to the mod, too.
thanks dude i had this mod and didnt even know this
Cait has always been a beastly fighter in the game for me. I could just give her a Gatling Laser and watch her rip it up.
Great so all your settlers have stormtrooper syndrome...classic! 😂
"Watch how fast he takes them down." *Huge ball of fire explodes around everybody*
That's what I was thinking. "Watch them burn themselves to death."
Papa John's Cena he’s just that good now.
I like that Dogmeat is sometimes silent when asked his feelings. This makes him a more real dog.
Is there a mod for keeping dogmeat from constantly getting in the goddamn way?
LOL, or alerting the bad guys and drawing fire and setting off tripwires... ;-)
move **** get out the way. search for it on the nexus. makes it to where you can bump ionto them and they'll move away, sorta like in new vegas.
Yep, a must IMO, not only for Dogmeat, but for every NPC.
Dogmeat seems to be by far worse than the others. He does a lot more random running around.
Yes, its called better dogmeat.
The Phil swift mod that says “that’s a lot of damage” when a mini nuke explodes is the best

same and I just keep going with BoS. maybe its just the love i have for the military.
They are kool
i hear ya man, i was like i want to do bos this time instead of minute men, and in the end i am like omg these xenophobic guys are seriously starting to make my choice feel bad.

A tiny mod I really like is "moveable power armor". While in building mode it lets you move a suit of power armor around like a settlement object. It's a must have for me.
Unlimited settlement build size. Some are so small like the castle
Especially if you use Do-It-Yourshelf and/or Dino's Decorations. Using them for about a dozen pieces alongside a few mostly undecorated buildings can easily fill up most settlement budgets.
Easy fix for consoles as well as pc. Although it is time consuming. You can increase the build limit by dropping armor and weapons on the ground.

Also their are mods that do this. And for pc, you can console command a larger build size that won't affect achievements.
I don't have such a mod but my game has a glitch where I can build as much as I like at any settlement.
lewisner Although if you push it to far the game will constantly crash. Too many times may corrupt the save file.
I've pushed Sanctuary to the absolute limit and the only thing which caused it to crash was when I tried to mod Combat Armor. I found that it was because I had about 20 full suits of Combat Armor stored there ! When I scrapped it all, no more crashes.

I was thinking Woody from Toy Story
Wouldn’t mind that
Oxhorn is awesome
i think Companions should have infinite ammo for their default weapon type
Example Piper should have infinite 10mm ammo for any 10mm Pistol you give her
Don't they already?
conduit122 no I think only for the gun they start with, if you give her a different 10mm for example she still needs ammo
If you give them like 5 of 6 bullets she has infinite ammo on any companion
They only need one ammo
Settlers only need one ammo, it never leaves their inventory. Companions will use the ammo you give them though. If you give a companion a flamer, for example you'll find that four seconds later they've used all the fuel you have them and they'll switch back to their usual weapon.
Me:*starts working at any workbench*
Everyone in 10km radius: "What yiu doing???!!?!"
"Collected all of these cool companions"
"Collected"....
yes, after all they are collectibles for you to unlock the romances on some of them for extra collectibleness
RoboGorilla Ok
i would not have any companions . dont need them .
GOTTA CATCH ‘EM ALL!
*POKEMON!*
I know right?
I love the way you review mods. You show the vanilla, you show the results of the mods, and you explain what the mod does. Very informative and instructive.
No DEF_UI with Valdacil's Item Sorting? That is a must have Quality-of-Life mod for me. I would probably rank it number 1 of these mods.
That ammo / armour mod is a godsend. Since they can't hit anything with 200+ ammo, I was shocked to see that quickly, their ammo was gone and their power armour fell to pieces. They should have made durability for ALL gear or left it out of the game entirely. So, they can wear combat armor and go toe-to-toe with a deathclaw and laser barrage from a sentry bot and their combat armour is not tattered and destroyed, but a full suit of the best power armour + mods + mark VI and it falls to pieces in minutes?
This bothered me too, for such a long time!
I mean, dont get me wrong, I like realism in my games, but there is this distinct point at which things become just realistic enough to be annoying.
I mean, if we speak of realism, then why couldn't they repair their own stuff, loot their own ammo and actually pick up decent weapons?
Like, its not even funny how ridiculously bad this is! A companion in powerarmor should always be taking care of it themselves or if thats too much of a hassle to programm, not need to repair it at all. It's mindboggling, how they managed to make settlers, much more useful companions than the actual companions.
no joke Bethesda should pay the modders of the unofficial patch money for fixing their game,l would be embarrassed to be Todd Howard to see that
Yea its a littlebit weird but bethesda knows that People will Mod there Game to a better State etc. so they dont care about that i think ^^
Bugs aside people should support Bethesda in regards to making a game in the first place and putting so much into it. Bugs will always come with such large open world games. Bethesda just needs to actively update/patch the game after release something they are rather mediocre with doing
FitzChivalryFarseer2 what? Support them for making a bad fallout game? I'm good. Give the torch to obsidian.
You can say what you will about it but without them there would be no game in the first place... also they hold the rights to it :/
Also never said Obsidian was not better. Obsidian fucking shits on almost all western companies in regards to making RPGs. Doesn't help that Obsidians competition is fucking retarded or dead in literally everything but the name (eg. bioware)
Hey, talk smack about the late Bioware all you want; the devs still make amazing games in the form of DA and Mass Effect.
That faster power armour entry animation is just the combat animation
Really?! No shit Sherlock!
Wow almost as if we knew that already
The animations for getting into and out of power armor quickly are just the normal animations for getting into and out of power armor during combat. The mod doesn't give new animations, it just sets it so that the animations used are always the during combat ones
Use button-lowered weapons. It supports all weapons, even modded ones.
In Skyrim companions are very accurate at high levels, have infinite ammo, and you don't have to repair their armor. Why they didn't carry this over into Fallout 4 is beyond me
I so love the unbreakable power armor and companion free ammo one, and I agree with it for the same reason you said... Plus, look at Paladin Danse. He is able to take care of his own armor, why can't everyone else?
Sometimes companions can surprise. I remember when I was still quite a low level and heading towards Croup Manor, I saw the two sentry bots on the bridge, freaked out, took a Rad X and jumped into the water. At the same time Valentine just kept going and without any help from me, took both of them down with his pipe revolver.
Awesome video, thanks!
I think other essential convenience mods are:
- Salvage Beacons
- Tree Farms
So I just watched this video, listened to it the entire way through, then I looked at the name. It took me a good long while to realize that this is the exact same oxhorn that I watched many years ago doing warcraft shorts and it made me really happy to know that he went on to do more things and is still thriving.
wtf! preston silent!!! this mod broke the whole game! so unrealistic
Pondcast ANOTHER SETTLEMENT NEEDS YOUR HELP
Pondcast I
There's a mod which gives him a voice like the black maid out of Tom And Jerry. Very funny.
at least it's not raining
well it did shut those women up so ....
Bethesda needs to take the unofficial patch and release it vanilla
Star Foth thats stealing
Yeah, it;s literally not there's to give. Besides most people strongly suspect Beth have a side deal with the UFO4P team, to take down their first UFO4P that didn't require any DLC. Which is the only thing that actually makes sense. So no, Beth doesn't want it. Keeping it strictly for all DLC, incentives buying their Season Pass, or GOTY edition.

- No offscreen settlement attacks : as the name says. I refuse the random dice roll, so the actual defense and set-up is played. Needs more testing though. The game is quirky with those things.

LeGasp!! Oxhorn used Mutfruits for his Hangman's Alley!! Is it the end of the world?
Awesome mod list! Fixes a lot of things I didn't even know I had problems with. One of my personal favourites lowers the volume of generators (think it's called 'quieter settlements') which was a godsend for me.
Silent settlers. How lifeless and boring.
I like war silence is not my strong suit
Ejraaa WHY DO I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE
Ricochet Rabbit Do you see me or my DP hahah
Ejraaa "_"
Ejraaa has to be your dp
it would be nice with a mod that makes mpc's to talk with eatch other
Then it'd be like Oblivion xD
honestly i agree, in fallout 3 super mutants had conversations with each other, it would be nice to have settlers have conversations. but no Bethesda would rather make sure you can walk around with the name fuck face, and have codsworth be able to speak it. i mean seriously i would love to see how that conversation went down at bethesda, you know what we should do. make a wider range of names codsworth can speak. yeah i agree, but you have to have codsworth call you mr fuckface or mr fucker.
try Realistic Conversations
@@demonpride1975 Realistic Conversations Fallout 4
demonpride1975 yeah but it’s funny asf
dude what about quiter settlement ? you know the MOD that reduces the sound of the 1 million generators. that we have.
I just turn down my effects volume
I actually got a reply from a RUclips channel and personality. best day ever.
:)
You sound like Plagueofgripes for some reason :D
Used Vault-Tec generator and it's silent

"best quality of life mods"
shows arturo getting murdered in the first ten seconds
Great selection! There's one that you missed that orders your keys and security cards in a single inventory item, the keychain. Less inventory clutter is always nice, that mod was awesome for quality of life for me
Great video Oxhorn, this really helped me out to make my playtrough much more enjoyable.
I also suggest these
Longer Power Lines
Darker Nights
Scrap Everything
I have set strong as my companion and He freaking Keeps babbling stuffs all the freaking time
"Strong Hugry want some... Blah blah"
"Strong wants to do more fight blah blah"
I use Better Companions instead of Inf Ammo & Pwr Armor. It seems to be a lot more compatible with other mods and also fixes things like sneaking (no more dogmeat setting off ever mine in the commonwealth) and gun accuracy as well.
strong is literally the most annoying companion in fallout history
Eli Plays disagree. Preston is.
SleepySheepy311 there both annoying , but strong takes the cake on this one, like he never shuts the fuck up ever
For me it's piper, I send her to sanctuary, which is also my main base.
So I go to the crafting station and what does she do?
"folks are just looking for a hand, all we have to is offer"
I can't even remember how many times I've heard that line, it's fucking haunting at this point. It got so bad I don't like her as a companion, so she just chills in diamond city.
Strong disliked that.
Anim Asaurus STRONG BORED!!!
At the very, very start of the video, when oxhorn says best quality of life mods, Solomon says high quality chems, meaning drugs.... that was amazing timing, oxhorn.
0xhorn, you should dress up as hagrid for Halloween
I have defended my settlement from supermutants before and was in a rush because someplace else was being attacked. Apparently there was another one or two extra supermutants I had missed, "Failed: Help Defend Sanctuary"
For me, there's also the lever-action rifle reload fix. And my two favorite, currently, that are the bright green with bright pink heads ghoul retexture and Sponge Bob's Chocolate dude ghoul sound replacer.
4:11 that cbbe hittin different
9:33 "It just works..."
The last two mods were honestly a must download for me (I have the unofficial Fo4 patch) I always found it annoying how companions couldn't hit anything and that they didn't have their own ammo. Thanks Ox :D
You should try the "Better Companions" mod by techprince. www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/18547/?
It not only increases the accuracy of most companions from 60% to 75%, and gives them unlimited ammo and unbreakable power armor, but it also makes them immune to fall damage.
I like how it makes companions specialized in certain weapons. They can still use any weapon, but when using their specialized weapon, they deal 20% more damage. Their specializations also fit them.
I'm surprised Don't Call me Settler didn't make the cut. Yes I'm aware that it's been set to hidden on the nexus but you can find the last working version if you look around on the net....
Patrick Green Don't Call Me Settler was hidden because it causes long term damage to your save that is irreversible.
From what I recall it was only the scripts like Burn, Baby Burn that was causing the damage. So long as you disable those it works pretty well without damage. There was a article about it on the Sim Settlements page, the naming and settler spawn rates don't seem to cause any save damage....
Still there is a new alternative available called "Immersive Settlers" that takes care of the naming issue.....

Bethesda are horrible at supporting their games
Had my character just short of level 100 when the game started freezing every time I went to a craft or repair station. Thanks to Bethesda's lack of support I found the only solution was to completely uninstall, then reinstall and start the game from the very beginning by making the run to Vault 111 all over again
Experienced 1 bug, Preston wouldn't speak to me... Thank god...
Hundreds of hours btw, no problems. Also with 100 mods, I dont have any patch mods.
i disagree bethesda is "ok" at support, EA is fucking cancer at it.
I was disappointed and found it really strange that they never fixed Covenant.
They probably still buy the Toddlie that this all "Just Works".
Boone could hit a bottle cap in the top of helios 1 while blinded
loved that guy lol
During the bunker hill battle i heard a legendary synth die
I never found that corpse
But I still got the last laugh
I finished bunker hill without firing a shot nor making any faction mad at me ^_^
SENTRYBUSTER IS SPY same I walked in and watched them slaughter each other. got like 15 gauss rifles which I sold later
railroad jacket fiesta and totally free gatling lasers and on my game at least, kill a few ,no one seems to be hostile at you
But turrets in the basement are hostile to you.
For whatever reason neither faction cares about you. Shoot one of their friends in the face and they just walk past youm
SENTRYBUSTER IS SPY *Clap clap clap* I rush fallout 4 so I found the institute at about level 10 xD...
*It was still hard - _-*
man, I remember the days when Boone could snipe a deathclaw from 18 light-years away. it's kinda sad that most companions can't aim. really glad that mod brings it all back.
I want one that removes the main story.
Cheers mate! I did download those "Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch", "Loot Detector - Scrapper Corpse Highlighting" and "Faster Terminal Displays" - mods. Those mods came with great help! :) Keep on doing the good work of yours mate!
Weapon holster mod? I thought that would be on the list
oh fuck yes please, so sick of hovering weapons. or melee weapons that seem to become transformers and go inside your body.
Hold down square if you're on ps4(or the pc/xbox equivalent) and you'll lower your weapon.
1- Full dialogue interface mod
2- Mute voice mod
3-Turn off dialogue camera
4-Experience Fallout's purest magic of imagining your characters perfect voice.
That nurse outfit for curie is the only quality of life mod i need.
Another huge benefit of the X-01 flashlight removal is it actually removes the flashlight effect from the center of the X-01 helmet, so when you're talking to people you don't see a massive flashlight glare effect in the center of your forehead. Why someone at Bethesda thought "yep, that looks good" is beyond me.
Another mod I highly recommend for the X-01 is "Talking heads retexture" by Castell. Easly one of my all-time favorite texture mods. It always upset me that Bethesda made this awesome looking recreation of the iconic Enclave power armor from Fallout 2, but they didn't give it orange eyes. Seriously, what the hell, Bethesda? It's the fucking boxart for Fallout 2. How can you mess that up? "Talking heads" gives the X-01 a very accurate looking retexture to make it look just like the Enclave armor from Fallout 2.
I'd like a mod that changes Dogmeat's Ai so he don't run ahead of you. Especially when you're shooting a car or lobbing a grenade. or when you're going to shut a door and he runs through and opens it right back up because it's in front of you. Dogs can't open doors.
Dogs can open doors... They definitely have a harder time opening them but they can do it...
u never meet my dog then . LOL .
If you back out of the "Send Companion To" window instead of selecting a location then they'll go to the place you first recruited them (Publick Occurences, Valentine's Detective Agency, Combat Zone etc) IF you've never sent them somewhere else. Some companions default to the Red Rocket (like Strong)

"IT JUST WORKS..... kinda." - Bethesda
until you put a floor foundation down, and see the brush going through the floor.
We'll at least it does for us, making money off a cheap, outdated game engine we don't have to spend time or money on, anyway: Also Bethesda. Would you like to buy the Ultimate Edition, it comes with a Hefty Trash bag?
When you said to watch Preston as he takes down twenty raiders, I thought you'd be joking and that he'd be down in seconds. But nope, actual badassery. Good shit. Getting that one for sure.
I built a Vault with the Vault-Tec workshop DLC. It took me about 2 hours to build the structure and a third of the decorations and interior. My game crashed without obvious reason and I didn´t safe/quick safe... So much time wasted.
That really,really sucks.I feel sorry for you
This is why i spam F5.
yeah i was doing the quest for the unstoppables home base, cleared it out, and just as i was about to save, the game utterly has a brain fart and dies. that really turns me off wanting to play.
The home plate Maudie's talking about also allows Raiders to attack you in your home. It's a glitch in the mud hasn't been fixed yet
Is that the Phatman [451] Prototype i see there?
SENTRYBUSTER IS SPY what mod did that even come from? I've got so many that I don't know!
Amir Granderson this Fatman we are talking about, is in fact a Phatman, so unfortunately you are wrong this time around
Amir Granderson it is a Phatman, I have one myself. Mistakes are made, and you can't always be right =)
No, it is just the Big Boy you can buy from Arturo in Diamond CIty
Oxhorn hey oxhorn do you think it is lore friendly to use guns from fallout new Vegas in fallout 4 cause I have a mod that gives me guns from new Vegas
I love Oxhorn's soothing voice while watching him mercilessly murder the entire population of diamond city.
Lol
I don't like the mods that stop NPCs talking, I think my settlements would be too quiet without them talking, perhaps even eerily quiet.
Shell Rain and Visual Reload are both kinda nice. The former causes shell casings to persist for longer, while the latter drops physics enabled magazines every time you reload. It doesn't sound like much, but it adds a bit more detail after any prolonged firefight.
Junk master this mod is amazing also BS Defense cause it makes all your turrets and defenses actually capable of protecting your settlements without you having to go there all the time
i would have loved to see bethesda put in the junk everything that they did with 76, like seriously if it's all junk, just let me break it down to it's base material.
“Here’s Preston Surrounded by 20 Raiders. Watch how fast he takes them down,”.
Preston: *Gets Immediately torn to shreds via firing squad*
Tip/Request:
I love that you make it clear which mods you're talking about ... But I don't want even half of these.
That being said, what you can do to make it easier for people (like myself) that pick and choose their mods carefully, not just before, but ESPECIALLY AFTER, you mention each mod and showcase it ... Mention the name one more time - even if just verbally and real quick. I have to rewind after each mod that I actually want to recall the name again.
Thanks again for the great vid!
"Scrapper is a perk you should have anyway."
Everything wrong with Fallout 4 summarized in one sentence.
Hahaha, but your point is failed a bit since its not really required... just Oxhorn's channel is focused around story but also settlements and mods ext.. so he expects his viewers to be intrested in that ingame and probably have it.
Ofcourse you don't need any settlement perks if you don't build settlements. But your point works with other things.
+felix34 ever1
I'm sure Bethesda could have come up with a better perk slot than that.
Fallout: Minecraft Edition. I hate that that's what Bethesda decided to focus on, not entertaining game play and stories. Yay let's build shit. Yawn.
@@silverstategarage4834 To each their own, I loved it.
thank you Oxhorn for that Elevator Buttons Fix mod I didnt think there was a mod for it I can now use my Elevators
what about dogmeat's odd mouth noise? it sounds like a enemy just stood up like a ghoul.
Old video but still good mods - he neglected to mention that he's clearly using All Settlements Extended since that's the only way to build where he is in Hangman's Alley and it also looks like maybe Sim Settlements since that's how you'd get garden plots on a roof.
I always wonder where are the dudes in Oxhorn's settlements?
For the pc! By the pc!
ive noticed a lot of variance in the folower accuracy, like the railroad dude hits em everytime more or less and i love his dorky undercover act anyways (like he changes his outfits sometimes like going into vault 88 he puts on a vault suit and what not
Most important QoL mod: ~ player.modav carryweight 9999
That elevator glitch doesn't only happen with 4 story elevators, the same happened with my two story elevator
Your computer is equivalent to a console, you really need to upgrade.
RUclips Heroes his computer is fine,it's just that's this game has fucking horrible optimization
I'm pretty sure he takes PayPal and will accept any funds you transfer to him.
I love the "move power armor in the workshop" mod. Saves so much time when trying to organize your collection. Only downside is it only works for vanilla armor, so all the DLC power armors like the Vim! suits and Nuka Cola suits can only be moved the old fashioned way.
@Oxhorn not sure if you've mentioned it before but I love the longer power lines mod, it makes settlement building more realistic and less clogged.
Oxhorn, I'm always so impressive how your settlements are organized. Settlers are all working and don't get stuck. And your buildings are sooooo cool! Oh yea, I also find the Settler Sandbox Expansion pretty helpful too!
Absolutely killer video Oxhorn. It should be one of the first and foremost modding videos presented to any Fallout 4 player. Can't believe I've gone over a year without it.
Just a heads up the mod " Shaikujin's Better Warnings for Settlements Being Attacked " is now called " Shaikujin's Better Settlement Alerts" on Bethesda...
It always makes me LOL when I watch my wife play and she arrives back at Sanctuary and takes the loot from her companion, becoming overencombered. ALL of her previous companions comment on it at once, over top of each other. It's greatly amusing to me. I usually just send my companions to supply lines when I'm done with them, so I never hear from them (plus it's come in handy when they help out with a fight in the field).
companions in fallout 4 are the storm troopers of star wars trained so much but can’t hit a house that’s in front of him
