Commonwealth Coffee Shelter

Come in, sit down and grab a cup. Coffee Room has arrived in to Commonwealth.

Feel free to stay in the topic, or jump outside of it. We are relaxed bunch. Don't mind about the super mutant standing in the corner. He is our resident poet. Robot acts as a bouncer.

What is this all about?

Coffee Room threads are general chat and modding threads that we have been making for Bethesda games. We have one for Skryim and one for Skyrim SE. Discussion about FO4 modding and troubleshooting has been going on in them. I decided that it was high time to make a thread in FO4 side.

These forums have been general conversation topics. They are also places, where people struggling with bugs and modding issues can poke around for help.

Usual stuff

1. This is a Steam forum thread and respects Discussions Rules and Guidelines. Everyone responding to this or similar thread has read them and follows them.
   
   
2. Regulars are bigger trolls than you are. No need to test that. I take no responsibility for someone ending up as a midnight snack, after serving him/herself on a silver plate.
   
   
3. If you sign in to a modding site, then read their ToS. Don't just accept it, but actually read it. If you got banned from other Steam forum or modding site, then there is absolutely no point of complaining about that in here. ToS is there for a reason.
   
   
4. We prefer that people make full forum posts about their problems. That way the problem is clearly presented and others searching for solutions to similar problems can find them more easily. If no one catches up with them, then you can ask help here, but let's use your own thread to solve issues from your game. Otherwise relevant questions will be left without answers and responses will be hidden from search engines.
   
   
5. We learn by reading and doing. Not all players have extensive knowledge about FO4 as a game. We do have long experience from Bethesda games and modding tools in general. We also have tendency to poke under the hood and around modding tools, solving issues from mods and the game.
   
   
6. Badgers have dibs for cookies.

Reply #1 will be reserved for links to tools, guides and tutorials. I will update it, when ever something gets done.

Have fun.

Man, that reminds me, I never got screenshots of my SS2 Castle. I kept avoiding taking and posting them because it seem unfair to post my huge bloated Castle while others were "sticking to vanilla rules."

ok i have a slight visual issue. my pipboy is gone from 3rd person view. but, im able to use it. i can see it when in 1st person mode. but i hate 1st person mode. it is also not showing up in inventory. i do have a pipboy recolor mod that can be changed at armor workbench. its no longer available. but i can turn on the light, access inventory map quests. essentially i have full function of the pipboy as if i had it, but it does not show up in inventory, or the workbench, or on my arm in 3rd person. but does allow me to see it on my arm when i activate it.

You know that this is actually piracy, right...? And, that posting this on a public forum is perhaps not the best idea.....

Argh. Why does fallout always wait 20+ levels before developing issues. Mod-wonky I can expect, but unclickable nuka cola bottles are a crime against all that is human.

And just out of curiosity, is there a common reason that companions vanish? I notice that it's only a problem with them and not regular NPC's.

i did not know this. since no profit was being made either way. i didnt even consider the fact. my bad guys. breaking the rules in forum is not something i wanted to do. aside from this everybody in other forums does agree steam over charges for the dlc's. they over charge for everything. but i understand the warning and i apologize and will be more cautious in the future.


but back to my original question my pipboy issue. in 1st and 3rd person its gone. but when i press (B) on my controller to activate it its there and i can navigate it. when i close the pipboy interface it disappears from my arm, does not show up in my inventory. but i can still use the light in 3rd person. i have checked the integrity of the game files they are intact. i have deleted all saves and started fresh. funny thing here. when i pick up the pipby and put it on initially, i see it. its there in 3rd person mode and 1st as well. i can use it. but, when i go up the elevator to the commonwealth, the animation where i shield my face from the sun, the pip boy is gone. i can activate it, but i see nothing. i hear all the sounds it makes as you navigate the pipboy but the whole thing is invisible. i have player.additem player.equipitem just to get it back. butwhen i do it remains invisible until i open it. from this point on i it disappears when it is closed and you are wandering. but when you open the pipboy to check the map, or you inventory ect i can see it. im stuck on this i have tried literally everything to fix this this aside from a clean install

Valve (the company behind this Steam platform) is only providing a platform and storefront for publishers to sell their games and gamers purchasing these games.

They don't have a hand in the pricing policy. The prices are determined by the publishers.
That a price is justified or not is a matter of debate. Still, don't aim your arrows to the wrong people :)

It barely matters anyway. Even at full prices the cost of buying most video games online is cheap for the hours of play you get.

Yes, I have the GOTY FO4 edition and I paid about $17 for it. How many hours of watching a movie would that $17 buy me? Lotsa fun, these fps games. And I'm now liking the open world stuff too.

Team FOLON — Today at 8:41 AM
Fallout: London v1.03 Patch

We're excited to share some news about the upcoming v1.03 patch for Fallout: London! What started as a simple hotfix has grown into something much bigger. Given the scope of this update, we're aware it may make changes that impact save files, so rather than risking breaking things for a small update, we're looking to roll this into a part of our very first DLC! This DLC will feature both new content and previously cut content that we’re working hard to restore. Stay tuned for more details - big things are on the way!

You can check out the full patch list here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qTHHRBjaKituLhWsOBQtYsH1oXkZQljkQNaiHTyfNRY/edit?usp=sharing

Sooo, Falon is getting a DLC. That's pretty cool

I ask again with help on my invisible pipboy glitch. its really frustrating that this is supposed to be a support forum, but it seems like i get chewed out for unrelated things, ignored or those who do try to help are no help at all. telling me to uninstall all mods and and start over with clean install is no help. obviously i know that. but that should always be a last resort. i need help trying to find the root of the problem and eliminate it there. i dont need instructions of wiping my game data and starting over clean. what is the point in being here in the support forum if i cannot recieve the support i need?

[Ny Starfire]

what im most frustrated about is i get chewed out for priacy when a friend i know irl gives me copies of the dlc's because i can't afford them. it no different then a friend of your buying a pair a shoes from a store then giving them to you because you cannot afford them. if i illegally acquired the dlc's then you illegally acquired those shes. you did not pay them,

the fact of the matter is when a consumer purchases a product and has recieved it. it is his property to do with as he pleases. if he decides to "give" his purchase away, the recieving party is not guilty of theft or in the case of software piracy. you seriously need to look up and fully read american buisness law. im angry with you cause you acused me of a crime when no crime was committed and gave me a warning for breaking forum rules when i did not.

I sort of remember that glitch Ny, but it's been quite a few years. Start a thread and post your load order. I need to stir up a few snoozing brain cells to get back in FO4 mode. It is a bit of a gray area the way you were gifted the DLCs, but it might just be the way it was worded.

I did a little research and there is a workaround that is kind of an interesting blessing in disguise. The pip boy is totally usable when you open it, but invisible in third person when you run around. I kind of like that.

Anyway, two simple console commands to fix it 'almost'
player.additem 00021b3b <enter>
player.equipitem 00021b3b <enter>

That's it, you have a working pipboy again, but you only see it when you want to... a win win. Other people have said the bug tracks back to the game still thinking you're wearing power armor (that sounds familiar) People have actually fixed it by entering power armor and exiting again then popping back and forth between first and third person. This is a known game glitch. each google for the error and several refrenses and even a couple of videos pop up. Try the console commands first. It's a simple fix

Uninstalling all mods and installing them one by one is one of the few "surefire" ways of sorting this, especially given other people will not know of any edits you have made yourself, but as you don't want to go to those lengths, i can advise of little....

Given you were using... uhhh.. those DLC's you "got hold of"... have you made sure all traces of them are gone?

Anyway, If i got this right, the Pipboy isn't showing on your arm, in either 1st or 3rd, but is showing when you open the menu? (and it is showing, right? the actual Pipboy model, and not just the text as if it were there?)

I did think that perhaps a Mesh and retex of the Pipboy would fix this, but then you say this;

which then throws my original thought into the wind......

Im not sure what else i can suggest.... Actually! does it do this if you start somewhere else? (if your using Start Me Up Redux or another quick start mod)
Start say, at the lonely chapel or something, and that *might* bypass this issue. Then you'd know its something that affects the start, and that reduces the mods that could be the culprit...
