# Description

A collection of mods for improving Fallout 4 VR, designed to make survival mode a fair and fun challenge. This collection is inspired by [GingasVR's mod list](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KjAhJ3RAqUxp5TYivW7fjSC_XVEuAafiJmHfCVnb2VI/edit), plus it's easy to install. As Todd Howard would say: "It just works".

**I'm still testing this collection, but everything looks stable now. I've completed "The Battle of Bunker Hill" without a single crash to desktop.**

**IF YOU HAVE THE MOST RECENT FLATSCREEN FALLOUT 4 VERSION AFTER THE 25TH OF APRIL 2024, YOU NEED TO REVERT TO THE PREVIOUS VERSION FOLLOWING **[**THIS GUIDE**](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3232095313)**, OTHERWISE PORTING THE DLCS FOR USING THIS COLLECTION WILL NOT WORK. I WILL IGNORE COMMENTS AND BUG REPORTS ABOUT THIS.**

***

# Main features

- *Gameplay overhaul to make survival mode feel fun instead of a chore. However, you still need to find food, water, and craft or find antibiotics.*
- *Foods and drinks don't heal.*
- *Combat damage multipliers are 1x for the player and 1x for enemies (same as in normal difficulty). This is to keep things balanced with Arbitration and Adrenaline Redone.*
- *Adrenaline affects only melee damage (+5% damage per rank), reduces incoming damage (-3% per rank), and it cools down quickly after a fight (1 rank per minute).*
- *Fast travel and saves are enabled. In my opinion, games are games, not jobs or chores, and they should be treated as such.*
- *Lockpicking is successful no matter which direction the tumble is turned, and hacking shows only the right password.*
- *Some perks are changed to make sense in VR.*
- *Major graphical and sound enhancements with better performance than vanilla.*

*...and more stuff, check each mod in this collection for details.*

# Before you start

## Requirements

- Clean installation of Fallout 4 with all DLCs (without the High Resolution Texture Pack) **BEFORE THE 25TH OF APRIL 2024 UPDATE. IF YOU DOWNLOAD THE GAME AFTER THE 25TH OF APRIL 2024, FOLLOW **[**THIS GUIDE**](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3232095313)** TO REVERT TO THE PREVIOUS VERSION**
- Clean installation of Fallout 4 VR
- [Vortex Mod Manager](https://www.nexusmods.com/about/vortex/)

**You need to run Fallout 4 VR at least once, to generate the configuration files.**

## Installing DLCs

1. Navigate to your Steam games directory (normally `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common`), where you'll find the `Fallout 4` and `Fallout 4 VR` directories. From `Fallout 4\Data`, you need to copy all files that start with `DLC` to `Fallout 4 VR\Data`.
2. Open Vortex, and on the left navigation pane, under the **GENERAL** section, click on **Games.** Search for Fallout 4 VR using the search bar, and click on it to start managing it.
3. Under the **MODS** section, click on **Plugins**. Make sure that all six DLC plugins are present (`DLCCoast.esm`, `DLCNukaWorld.esm`, `DLCRobot.esm`, `DLCworkshop01.esm`, `DLCworkshop02.esm`, `DLCworkshop03.esm`), and for each of them, click on **Disabled** to enable it.
4. You're now ready to install this collection by adding it to Vortex.

# Usage

## How to install

To install this collection, simply add it to Vortex. You don't need to configure the single mod installations, it will be done automatically for you. If you want to change the balancing, you'll have to manually reinstall the specific mod with the balancing configuration that you want to change.

The mod FallUI - HUD VR will probably install assuming that the Pip-Boy effect is disabled, and the Pip-Boy will look dark. To fix this, open the file `FallUI.ini` located in `%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\fallout4vr\mods\FallUI - HUD VR-51556-1-1c-1618916989\MCM\Settings` and replace `iPipboyColorize = 1` with `iPipboyColorize = 0`.

## How to play

Once the collection is installed, in the Fallout 4 VR directory (default `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4 VR`) the file `f4sevr_loader.exe` should be present. Pin it either to start, the taskbar, or the desktop, and use it to run the game.

**Always open SteamVR (or whichever VR API you want to use) before running the game, and always run the game through the F4SEVR loader, otherwise the game won't work correctly, or even crash to desktop on start.**

# Patched Automatron DLC Instructions

## Installing the radar chip on Ada

1. Make sure Ada is in the same settlement as in the patched Automatron Workbench, and make sure she's not your companion.
2. Get the raw materials you need by **manually** scrapping the junk and take them from the settlement storage. The patched Automatron Workbench can't scrap automatically from the storage, and accepts only the raw materials. You need 3 Adhesive, 1 Aluminium, 2 Ceramic, 1 Circuitry.
3. Open the workshop and select "Initiate New Automatron Build sequence".
4. In the sub-menu, select "Create Modification Chip", and "Create".
5. Talk to Ada, trade, and move the modification chip to her inventory.
6. When you open the Automatron Workbench again, you should be able to mod Ada.

To modify other robots, take the modification chip from Ada and move it to the inventory of the robot you want to mod.

# Common problems and solutions

<details><summary>The game starts as vanilla without mods</summary>
Open the file `Fallout4Custom.ini` in the directory `%HOMEPATH%\Documents\My Games\Fallout4VR\`. If it doesn't exist, create it. Add the following lines to the file:

```
[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=
```
</details>

<details><summary>Sometimes a crash to desktop occurs from nowhere</summary>
Bethesda will be Bethesda. With this modlist, you have the possibility of saving in survival mode. Do it often.
</details>

<details><summary>Remove Ammo from Dropped Guns is not working</summary>
Reinstall it with Vortex, it will work properly afterwards.
</details>

<details><summary>Building the Sanctuary plan with Rise of the Commonwealth erases all the workbenches</summary>
Move the workbenches to the middle of the road BEFORE starting to build, so they don't get erased. Once the settlement will reach level 1, additional workbenches will be back, including chemistry stations.
</details>

<details><summary>Can't open the menu after exiting a power armor</summary>
Look at the Pip-Boy, you'll be able to open the menu afterwards.
</details>

<details><summary>Pip-Boy light reverts to normal (as if without VR mod) after exiting a power armor</summary>
Known bug, AFAIK there's no fix.
</details>

<details><summary>Sturges won't go to the terminal during quest "The Molecular Level"</summary>
Travel out of the settlement and come back. He will spawn near the terminal.
</details>

<details><summary>I've entered the Institute and instead of hearing the Institute ambiance music I hear settlement music</summary>
The problem will take care of itself when you travel out and back in.
</details>

<details><summary>Ada slides around at the end of Mechanical Menace</summary>
Saving the game and reloading fixes it.
</details>

<details><summary>Something else is not working</summary>
Please check the instructions again to see if you missed a step. If you did everything correctly and you're still having issues, please report it in the bugs section, and I'll address it in my free time if I can. If you find a fix or workaround for an issue, please report it so that I can add it to this section.
