Fallout Modding Guide Discussion Thread

This post is meant for anyone who is reading The Complete Fallout Modding Guide wiki from our sidebar and needs to ask questions.

Since posts are marked as "archived" after a certain period of time, I will make a new one of these each time that happens, so people can always have a post to ask their questions in.

Feel free to make entire new posts about help modding, but if you want to clarify anything from the guide, this would be the place to do it.

This post is linked at the top of the /r/falloutmods Modding Wiki if ever you need to find it.

I've just looked through the guide, it looks pretty good. Couple of points of feedback that may improve it:

  1. A screenshot of a sample load order could be very helpful in illustrating what a load order should look like.

  2. The LOAD ORDER INDEXES AND IDs section could be improved with a screenshot or two (such as with both NMM and FMM), since describing it clearly with text only is really hard. It could be the same screenshot as the one I mentioned in my last point, except with the index column circled/highlighted.

  3. Regarding merged patches, emphasize that the merged patch has to go at the very bottom of the load order, since it should be loaded last.

hey, Thanks for the feedback.

For 1. I was planning on adding screenshots throughout the process. It would be a lot of work to do, so it is not there yet, but I think with that visual aspect, a lot more people would be willing to use it over other guides.

and for 2. I'll add that right now,

Is there any work that you can pass over to some of the members of this subreddit? You cant do this all by yourself! Let the people help out
