I paused the game between November 2021 and May 2024 with a short interruption in January 2023 lasting only one day. A few days ago, I reinstalled Fallout 4 to play quest mods that I missed like Point Lookout or Tales from the Commonwealth and the new
Creation Club content from the Next Gen update. But I stay on the previous version of the game for now. Normally, the previous version of the game would crash if the new CC content is loaded. But there's a workaround using the
Backported Archive2 Support System which I described in
this tutorial.
After making sure everything was running smoothly, I gave Sam new hair and eyes.
Sam: "Roger. Target confirmed."
Then MacCready got new hair and eyes as well.
I don't just want to talk about the changes to Sam's or MacCready's appearance in this thread, but also about their adventures and my adventures in modding Fallout 4
.
The quest of the
Heavy incinerator Creation Club content leads to Saugus Ironworks
I turned Dogmeat into
Dogmetal at some point by the way.
To get to the weapon, you need a Power Armor with a special modification. When my character got into the Power Armor and I switched to the third person view, I noticed that the camera went completely crazy (it just stayed on the ground no matter what I did). I was sure it was a mod conflict. To test it, I wanted to disable all mods and gradually re-enable them to find the guilty mod. After I disabled all mods, Fallout 4 crashed on loading. It took me a while to figure out that disabling
Portable World Space causes the game to crash. The mod that made the camera unusable when using the Power Armor was
For the Droids. I finally found the solution in the comments of the mod. The animation mod requires the
Custom Camera mod.
I nearly forgot that I had the
Jump Flight mod installed. Great aerial shots can be created in conjunction with
Photo Mode.

Tesla cannon
Sam took the cannon from a gunner who had "accidentally" dropped it
