I am indeed.
Had to start again when I got the One S due to some mods no longer being available, but I still love it.

Nice one. Where are you up to now?
I've still got Vault-Tec Workshop to compete (just finished gutting the place after opening up all the workbenches), then will build a quick vault and then am off to Nuka World!
I still think I've got another character in me, but I'm going to have to squeeze it in before Skyrim in October.
Closing in on Level 23 having just unleashed Preston Garvey. Think I'll get his never-ending settlement quests out of the way next.
I'm level 100 now, and just getting stuck into Nuka World.
I don't really want to be a raider though, so I might just kill everyone...
Level 100? And not on Survival? Jesus, you must have ploughed days into that....
Up to level 32 now and speculatively tried to start Nuka World. Got my arse handed to me at the gate.
been watching a buddy play and that's got me back interested in the game again.
fired my old character up and surprisingly really enjoying it now. To be honest before I never really used the VATS or anything like that (never played FO before) so I kinda was lost on how to play I guess.
Anyways.
This is still my first character and I've been on it since day 1.Originally Posted by Yevrah

NW has been cracking so far, but as I approach the end of it I'm a bit torn about how to play it out. It kinda goes against my good character lore to start becoming a raider.
So no mods on PS4.
What the hell happened with that?
Sony are dicks, apparently. They're blocking cross-platform play too (for multiplayer games).
There's got to be more to that. Probably something security related which might put the console at risk.
Nothing that couldn't be fixed with software updates.

"The tech's not bad, guys. We're just asking so much of it." A door needs to be open somewhere. A door on a console that might not just have been designed with that in mind. All the noise is coming from Bethesda and, if the last week has taught us anything, its that developers hold more cards than the platform holders.... developers say.
It's definitely going to cost them sales. I was all set on buying the PS Pro and Skyrim, but now I'm not so sure. Might switch over to Xbox, now that the hardware seems to be getting closer in parity.
Are you on PC Raoul?
Nah, PS4. It's been the better console up until now, but this mod shit is balls.
Sold my PC a while ago and just have a MacBook now, which is fine for internet/FM.
The new weapon upgrades from Nuka World are a bit mad - I went on a melee rampage through Gunner Plaza last night and mashed the fuck outta everyone there in about 10 minutes. Electrified rocket sledgehammer
Also, building a vault is fucking hard!
What makes it so difficult?
As usual, they've taken something simple and put weird restrictions all over the shop. For example: to create a room you need to have a door piece (of which there are multiple variant). A door piece needs a hallway with a door connector on it which then connects to the door piece of the room. Woe betide you if you then try to remove a part as it'll then need you to go through and delete a load of other shit to make things fit again.
Also, like the other settlements, the layout is weird and there are immovable things in there which should just be removable but aren't.
Mods coming to Fallout 4 and Skyrim on PS4: https://bethesda.net/#en/events/game...2016/10/04/221
So basically no external assets, but things like scripts/tweaks will work. Not ideal, but better than nothing.Mods and 4K Coming to PlayStation 4 for Skyrim and Fallout 4
We’re excited to announce that mod support is coming to PlayStation 4 for both Skyrim Special Edition and Fallout 4. Additionally, we’ll also be supporting the new PlayStation 4 Pro with both titles.
Skyrim will have these features when it launches on October 28. The new power of the PlayStation 4 Pro has allowed us to make Skyrim render in native 4k, and it looks better than ever. Here are some screens to show you just how great it looks.
Mod support will come to Skyrim first. We and Sony have worked hard to make this possible. Mods on PlayStation 4 will allow you to modify and create your own content by using our Creation Kit available here. You will not be able to upload external assets with your PlayStation 4 mods, but you will be able to use any assets that come with the game, as most mods do. By creating a Bethesda.net account, you’ll be able to browse and try mods right from within the game.
We are excited finally to get modding to our PlayStation fans who have supported us for so long. Modding has been an important part of our games for over 10 years, and we hope to do even more in the coming year for all our players, regardless of platform.
After the work is complete on Skyrim, we’ll be updating Fallout 4 for both mods and PS4 Pro. We expect Fallout 4 to take advantage of the PS4 Pro in 4k along with enhanced lighting and graphics features.
Thanks again for all your support. We can’t wait to hear about your new adventures.
Are the PS4 mods any good?
I'm giving it a bit longer for some killer ones to emerge. The main ones I see are 1) Ballistic Weave on everything 2) Free crafting and 3) more clothing items (making previously unavailable ones available)
They Skyrim ones have been surprisingly decent, so I'm holding out hope. I'd like to run through a new game with RR/BoS and some mods.
Ballistic Weave on everything is actually enough to get me back in.
I'm a twit
Did you buy the DLCs @Baz ?
I think it'd be quite a different game starting with Automatron kinda early.
No. I didn't get very far at all, really.
I'm a twit
Stuck at a save long enough finally and am closing in on level 90.
Still not been to Diamond City.
I can only assume mods have caused this, but half of my building materials have vanished from my workbench in Sanctuary (where I kept them all).
There are upper limits of what you can have, but generally it's either a) mods, b) Bethesda
Anyone tried the Frost Survival Simulator mod? Looks the bollocks.
Had a go at Frost, but my laptop's too shit to run it comfortably so aborted that idea. It looked very interesting though.
My next project is around a fully modded game - I've been through Bethesda.net and shortlisted absolutely loads of stuff (including things that will make survival mode even harder.
Started a new game up on this last night, with mods. Just got to Concord and saved Preston and the gang. Now fixing up Sanctuary.
You kinda forget how weak and rubbish you are to start out with in Beth games, until you hit the tipping point and become a living god. I got killed by some Bloodbugs last night
Feels ace to be back in this world though.
Decided to trek down to get Pickman's Blade which, considering I'm only level 8, is pretty naughty. I was using it over level 100 on my previous game, so it should wreck people at this level.
I've started putting my water empire in place so I can start rinsing that for cash as well.
Haven't played this for ages, but that looks the bollocks.
Are there any other mods I've missed?
Anyone still playing this?
After an 8 month hiatus I'm quite tempted to give another save a go.
Turns out the above was well timed with the launch of the creation club, which has the modding community up in arms. The whinging fucks.
Not entirely unjustified given the shambles that was their previous attempt to make money off mods. At least they're planning to curate it this time.
I wasn't aware of the previous time due to never having played on PC, but this effort seems pretty good.
Ok the prices are a bit steep, but it's new, official, (and more importantly) fully integrated content for a game I've sunk hundreds of hours into.
I"ve put it down at some point through my second play through. Might go back to it after I'm done with Horizon Zero Dawn.
I mean, listen to this whinging fuck.
Anyone would think Bethesda had pissed on his children.
That is some grade A whinging. You can still get all the stuff you could get before, for free right?
You can indeed.
If you're looking for Jim Sterling to do anything other than bitch about unnecessary monetisation then you're watching the wrong channel. Plus he's not wrong, it's a pretty shameful money grab.
That'd be like asking Total Biscuit to stop going on about PC ports.
To be fair I just watched his Modern Warfare Activision rant and it was pretty good (and justified for the most part).
Well I'm back in again.
Spunked the free credits on the Onyx Power Armour Paint job and then chucked some cash in to get the backpack and the modern furniture stuff from the creation club. Gone with the following build:
Strength 10 - I pick up everything.
Perception 4 - For lockpick and (with the you're special book) Demolition Expert, the latter of which I've never tried properly before.
Endurance 1 - To keep things difficult to start
Charisma 6 - For Local Leader
Intelligence 1 - Dump Stat
Agility 1 - To keep things difficult to start
Luck 5 - For Idiot Savant
It's been such a long time I'm quite looking forward to this.
He does a great line in shitty Steam game reviews too.
Survival or normal?
Survival. Always Survival.
Played for a few hours tonight, up to level 5 now and sporting a Glow Sighted Hardened 10mm pistol, with matching Drifter Outfit, Eyeglasses and Hard Hat.
Mooched around Sanctuary, kitting out the house with the workbench in it to store supplies and installed a shooting gate thing on the roof hooked up to a firework mortor so I can change the weather to clear. Just need some gold and fertilizer for it now.
Took Idiot Savant Rank 1 at level 2 and have saved the three perk points since then while I work out how to shape the build.
Other than that just picked off the low hanging fruit around that settlement and am now off to kill some mole rats in the den behind red rocket. I was going to go with the dog as a companion to start, but his propensity to block my path has already pissed me off so I've left him pining back at sanctuary.
Do you install any mods before you play, other than that Sim Settlements you've linked to? @Yevrah
Nah, no mods at all this time round, well, if you don't count the Creation Club ones.
I have done in the past, but you just spend ages fucking around with them and inevitably install something that's irritatingly janky and causes me to want to start again.
Up to level 14 now, having cleared out Sunshine Tidings, Walden Pond, Starlight Drive in, Station Olivia and Wicked Shipping, amongst others.
Picked up a Wounding Pipe Pistol in Olivia, which is a bit weak as it's a pipe weapon, but the legendary effect does 25 points of bleed damage with every shot, which is glorious to watch. Might try and convert that into either an automatic rifle or a sniper rifle.
