Module 01 - Tools

The most important tools for players and mod frameworks for other mods.

Essentials:

• Armor Smith Extended & AWKC : Depencies for many mods out there in the wild.
• Bodyslide & Outfit Studio : Allows to modify the body of player and NPC/followers. They are the only out-of-game tools, which we'll configure down below on how to start from the Vortex-Dashboard, after the installation of course.
• Clean My Settlement -Redux- : Awesome tool to clean your settlements of veins and other garbage via Holotape without breaking previs.
• Transfer Settlement : Save and Restore your current/previous settlements, but does not remove resources. (Holotape)

Optionals:

• Concealed Armor : With some outfits, it really bothers me, but other times, I do want to see the the armor pieces.
• DavesMods ESP Explorer : Hotkey F11, A very nice to have, but it should NOT be used with mods that are script heavy, like - but not limited to - SimSettlements(1,2). Furthermore, do NOT remove midgame and try to re-add later on, as to my experience, this wont work anymore. If you add this, keep it till the end!
• Whose Quest is it anyway? : If you need help to figure out which item belongs to which quest.
• StopSetAtk fomod : On a new game (hit New on the Main Menu), you will not have any settlement attacks (other than "hard scripted" ones) will NOT work when added mid-game!
• NoPuzzleForOldSynth : Skip the Memory Puzzle of Dema
• Cheat Terminal : Well, what do you think?
• Nuka World Map : if you got the DLC : Just like Map 4k, must have if you have the DLC
• Nuke Skip raiding your own settlements : Allows what it says

Either one of:

• Start Me Up : Skip the intro or start elsewhere (might break quest, but has more options)
• SKK Fast Start : Skip the intro (more stable, but has no options)

Manual Settings:

In order to have Bodyslide available from the dashboard, we need to set it up "manualy".

• After installing this collection
• Hit the Dashboard button on the left hand side
• Look for the entry "BodySlide"
• Hit the 3 dots and select "Edit"
• Copy-paste your GameDir or DataDir path from any explorer (something like: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4)
  • Change to Data\Tools\BodySlide
  • Select: BodySlide x64.exe
  • Click on "Open"
  • Click on "Save"

Modules:

Modules are small and specialized mod-collections that aim to be interchangeable to tweak your per-game preferences.
