Gotta admit I'll kinda miss notifications being condensed into "X, Y, and Z commented" rather than three entries for X, Y, and Z separately, but beyond that I'm glad to see this piece of shit forum die.  This has been an utter nightmare just on the user end, so I can't begin to imagine how much abuse it's put you through under the hood.

Good find.  I respect a lore nut, having done more than my share of it for TES.   That said, I would like to point out from that very page: "As for the Burrow, this location was written by an early designer associated with the project. While it was well written, I felt that its content was not appropriate to our Fallout universe, mainly based on its style and feel in the game and not on its artistic merit. So I did not approve its addition to the game, and that Glow holodisk is all that remains of any reference to that area." - Tim Cain Burrows: "I always felt it didn't fit in with the rest of the game. It was a finely designed area, and would have helped the Glow, but it just didn't seem Fallout-like." - Chris Taylor I tend to agree with their sentiment, and being developers, their stance technically qualifies as Word of God.  Still, the fact it was even considered, and only really cut due to a lack of development time to devote to the resources they'd need, it's not an unreasonable jumping-off point, and concrete proof that at least there have been FEV experiments on animals that were successful.  Again, good find.

For the record, as merciless as I am with my opinion on your body mod, I have nothing but praise and respect for Bodyslide itself.  It's the single greatest thing to ever happen in the body modding scene and offers so much more than any other technically superior but static body mesh ever could by an order of magnitude.  Bringing it over this early for Fallout 4 is a magnificent achievement.

That requires the base shape being morphed is good.  This is not the case.

I never said FO4 was better than a modded Skyrim.  I merely claimed FO4 was leagues better than vanilla Skyrim and already encompassed many of the features RM and ECE added, but not all of them.  Sculpting renders a few of those sliders obsolete anyway, since with a flick of the mouse I can, say, change the jut and height of the cheekbones simultaneously.   In fact, nothing I said runs counter to anything you claim - that there are still aspects that could use additional features.  So why did you feel the need to single out my post and attempt to counterpoint it when our posts are largely in agreement?

Really?  Are you really?

Wow, way to go faggot!

Yes, please give us more of your edgy truth.

So I slip into the little snack bar thing at Starlight Drive-In.   Beeping noise.  Mine!   Back away forthwith.   Something is blocking me..   "et tu, dogmeat?"   KABOOM.   Reload.

Fallout 4's facegen is ludicrously powerful compared to Skyrim.  I could see some use for a mod that relaxes restrictions on how far some parts can be sculpted, opens up the rainbow for hair color, and changes the UI such that you can get a more detailed look at what you're sculpting, but something as extensive as RM/ECE just isn't required.  FO4 can already do 75% of what those mods can do, most of the rest is just quality-of-life changes.

Of all the requests to come down on for potentially not fitting into the Fallout setting, someone decided to come down on one of the least lore-breaking mod requests possible.   I think it's perfectly reasonable.  Not common for the Boston area, sure, but there's no reason whatsoever this couldn't be dug up in a costume shop or maybe lying around at Hubris Comics for some reason.

Here's someone that's actually put some brain power into this.   Simply put, no anthropomorphic creature churned out by rads in the Fallout universe is going to look how your typical furry wants them to.  They aren't going to be clean, flawless representations of anthro animals.  They're going to be horribly mutated, boils on their skin, patchy fur, probably discolored and likely misshapen.   They are possible, given the extremes we know, but those are still extremes, and they're just plain not going to be fappable to any but the most extremely niche fetishists.   Not that any of that matters since people can mod whatever they want, of course.

As long as something in the bodyslide dealy can be used to fix those godawful button nipples, I'll be willing to give it a try.   Though it's worthless without a full conversion of vanilla outfits along with it so I don't know why anyone's excited.

Actually, completely distinct from any erotic application, the ability to remotely operate powered armor could have some fun gameplay uses.  Maybe use it as a decoy while you circle around, or to lure out a big nasty from the safety of your sniper hideout.  You'd risk losing the suit I guess, but that could be made difficult, and with the number of frames the game throws at you, it could be a valid risk to throw at the player.

So would Nate/Nora only affect the MQ?  Would that restrict the player from doing things such as joining the Minutemen, Institute, BoS, etc?  These things are rather well wound into the MQ from what I can tell, so doing this mod as advertised would require preventing the player from doing a lot of things, finding creative ways to get around them, or forcing the player to always have Nate/Nora with them to do anything.  I mean, could the player side with the BoS, but suggest Nate side with the Institute?  How would this work without railroading the player?   It's a novel idea with a lot of merit but I'm not seeing what it really offers over a less intrusive style of alternate start mod.

Well, while I fully agree with the mantra of "don't like it, don't visit the threads/post in the threads", let's not forget two things; one, this is a forum and that means discussion and sharing of one's views are implicitly allowed, and two, darkdragonlove's post was in support of the prospect of a playable Deathclaw, just not the cartoonishly embellished hermaphrodite aspect.  Given these things, his post was technically neither off-topic nor in any way not belonging in this thread.   I would add to the discussion that, if OP intends to pursue this idea when the tools become available (both literally and metaphorically), to keep in mind that overspecialization tends to severely limit your potential audience.  Playable sex-enabled Deathclaws would be what I would aim for - merely include hyper-herms as an option, say as part of an array of possible combinations included to get the player's perfect Deathclaw sex machine.  So you could have male/female/futa customization options available in both "lore-friendly" (that is to say, not so cartoonish as to be at odd stylistically with the vanilla game) and super-cartoonish styles.   I can't speak for how good or bad the gameplay-affecting ideas might be since they're even further out of my fetish wheelhouse than furries and futas already are, but just reading it it sounds awful.  Again, I could be missing the ultra-niche fetish appeal of it but it just doesn't sound fun or interesting.   I'd better end this post now because I've run out of unbiased constructive things to say.  :|

7B isn't particularly realistic.  Damn nice, especially if you use the Natural option (looks less like silicone implants), but erring much more towards a "perfect" sort of look.  Besides that, I'm not even sure if 7B's weight slider makes much of a difference, or even if one exists.  I've never seen someone using 7B not using it at 100%, I think.   Honestly like was said earlier, you're pretty much already using what you're looking for.  You might consider UUNP and then using its functionality to tweak the breasts to your liking if you're really jonesing for something specific, but I don't know if it would be worth the hassle if you're fine with UNPB and already have the armors you want installed.

And just who are you to dictate what does or doesn't qualify as "additive", or a "mod"?  You can't claim with any authority that a Doritos Rad-Away mod wouldn't be desired by someone.  You can't claim it's not additive, since it does add a new visual to the game - unless, of course, you're just being a snob about it and only trying to decry it because it doesn't meet your personal standard.  You may have every right to your opinion, but your opinion is in no way tantamount to fact.   It's not that I don't largely agree with some of what you're saying, though - there's a lot of shit out there, low-effort and/or low-thought work that, at best, might hold a moment's juvenile amusement and then be immediately forgotten.  What I take issue with is your arrogance.

There isn't even a mod kit out for FO4 yet.  Chill.

Ideas of varying complexity and specificity listed in no particular order:   ~ FO4 version of the Vault Girl mod.   ~ A body somewhere between Type6 and SevenBase (Natural, preferably).  FO3/NV had no body other body mods worth a damn, hoping we don't see a repeat of that for FO4.   ~ A story-based bestiality quest mod, breeding optional, preferably at least half-and-half split between consensual and non-consensual, favoring the former.  And for the love of Atom, no sudden tone shifts mid-quest unless it's reasonably telegraphed. ~ Something akin to my SexoutRocket would be ideal, at least as an intro.  Might write up a more detailed concept for this later...   ~ A strip club/brothel mod that's actually had some care put into it.  Despite some valiant efforts, everything that came out in that vein for Skyrim was either a script-heavy mess with the worst interior design imaginable, or a pipe dream of overcomplexity that never gets out of conceptual stages.   ~ A mod that takes advantage of the destructibility available in the game.  Not even sure this will be possible, but watching robots come to pieces as I shoot them just fills my mind with Break Undies type ideas.  Just a matter of an enterprising modder going in and figure out if it could work on clothes and armor.

Personally I can't say I've had any bugs that have spoiled the experience for me, certainly not enough to start riding the angst train about how they aren't listening to us or whatever shit OP is trying to push.  Got the invisible guns, gotten the NPC on the roof (fixed that with a fucking staircase - seriously it was the opposite of a big deal, just kinda funny), got the cow in the building... sure these need to be fixed, but I don't see how it's worth starting a thread explicitly to rally the haters.  Most of the bugs in that video are innocuous anyway, just some funny physics oddities, hardly grounds to say the game is "unstable".  Talk to me about "unstable" when a quest breaks or the thing CTD's.  That's instability.

I should try to get into One Punch Man.  I see it everywhere these days and it looks like it could be fun, though I get the feeling I'm missing something - most of what I see is action shots but I don't think that's actually what the show's about really?  Iunno.  Looks worth it if only for the loving satire of typical shonen anime.   Also finally started the first Garo anime.  Art style is pretty bad but it's a really good show otherwise, leagues better than most of the live-action stuff (barring only S1 and Makai Senki).  The pace bothers me in parts and I'm disappointed they've had next to no Zaruba yet, which ties to a larger complaint I have with newer Garo but that doesn't belong in this thread.  Started the more recent Garo anime too but holy shit it's in an even worse style and literally none of the charactrers had any hint of likability.   I should note that my opinion on art style is colored strongly by the fact that I got into anime on older titles like Trigun and Cowboy Bebop and that's just not the look that sells over there anymore, apparently.  Generally if it doesn't bear some resemblance to the ultra-detailed 80's and those weird transitional 90's styles, it's shit to me.

My objective is to try to help keep this thread neat, clean, and friendly to all proclivities.  Your "opinion" of how to go about posting in this thread runs directly counter to that, as has been explained to you twice now.   Simply tagging content completely invalidates your criticisms of spoiler use.  Your method would make this thread a nightmare to scroll through and would completely deny users any means of filtering their viewing material.  I can't see how you could possibly think this was a good thing.   And besides that, challenging the opinions of others isn't being "rude", it's part of the point of discussion.  If you weren't prepared to defend your position from someone seeking to dismantle it, you should never have offered it to start with.  

That's why any spoilered post containing non-vanilla content should be tagged as well with at least a simple warning, such as (Contains beast) or (Contains rape).  Problem solved.   Like, literally your entire argument rests on people being too stupid to tag their shit.  If they do, your entire defense falls apart.

Lots of wasted space.  Also I don't know what he did but I can't just type the code in like I used to and I can't open a new page to compose a post so I'm stuck on these shitty laggy pages on this box at the bottom of a page with no way to preview anything and I can't even edit the posts under certain conditions.  And if that's not bad enough, the dumb thing keeps saving posts I start and decide I don't want to finish so ever time I go back to that thread there's my shitty post still in the box.  Lots of flashy effects and fancy doohickies tho so obviously this is the best thing ever!   I assume there's a lot of background work to do yet but I am none too pleased with the new forums right now.
