Hi, Elianora! First of all thank you for all great mods and tutorials and for being awesome. Thanks to this tutorial I could finally fix the small thing that annoyed me more than it should: the lack of craftable curtain rods. Maybe it is stupid, but I couldn't stand that curtains are just attached to walls or ceilings, so I took models of curtain rods from pre-war home and made them craftable, just the way you explained here in the video. Now I plan on uploading it on Nexus, because I think that there may be more people like me out there. But it still needs work: Once a curtain rod is made you have to escape the workshop mode and then turn it on again to scrap it or store it and you can't just move it to another place. I was hoping you can help me to fix this and to find more models for variety. Don't worry if you can't. I'll probably figure it out. And if I won't, well, it's not like Fallout is all about fancy curtain rods, right? Love you!
***** Thanx! It's still WIP tho. Curtain rods don't snap. And once you place them, you can't just moce them to another place. You can only store or scrap them.
Thanks for doing this Eli. I was getting frustrated with merging but I think I see my problem now. I was just removing the masters afterwards from the merge without removing dependencies.
Hello Elianora, First, thank you for so many great additions to the community and for this wonderful video. I have been trying to figure out how to do this and will be trying it myself shortly. I do have 2 questions: if i wanted to pull something from homemaker(say the protectron pod for example), or any mod using script injection, for my own personal mod (like yours in the vid is my ultimate goal) do i have to change anything on the item in any additional way besides what you showed here or will it ignore the script since not there anymore? And what about what menu it will appear in? (say i want it in decorations instead of electric, or vise versa) Again thank you for everything and keep it up, without yall wonderful modders we would have nothing to do.
Took me some time to get it right and erase the master file, but I think I managed to extract some of the Institute furniture from Homemaker properly ! Too many items in Homemaker, bleh. That's why I prefer yours, it adds the essential stuff ! Not only that but you also teach us some stuff about the Edit tool. Well my level is still "filthy peasant" with FO4Edit, but hey, I guess it's better than before lmao. Thank you a lot for this video ! It's really helpful !
Thomas Lynge You have to look for anything in each line that could refer to something in the Homemaker mod, could be an icon etc. If you still have the Homemaker as a master file it means there's still a line somewhere that refers back to the Homemaker's stuff.
Hi Elianora- thanks for the tutorial. i thought id figured it out (thanks to you) and merged some small crafting mods together, copied the needed data so the merge patch wouldn't need the original as masters but in the game, the textures aren't there. to test my merged patch, i uninstalled the original mods in Nexus mod manager. i could build the items but there were invisible. im thinking maybe the mod still needs to be "installed" but the merged .esp will allow you to disable the original mod .esp? is the benefit of this just to have fewer .esp files loading? just for reference, one of hte mods i merged was DD productions 1x1 concrete foundations and like i said, i can build it but its invisible and the picture isn't in hte workshop menu, just a blank place holder with the 1x1 label.
I am trying to learn how to Patch things into Frost and Horizon, specifically for armor and weaons mods. This kind of explains what I need to do, but do you have any videos that may be more applicable to this? Thank you so much! Loving the Deathbunnies shirt btw.
would it be possible for you to do a video on how to add in your own custom 3d model to the game such as a house and spawn it in by using the crafting menu thanks
Hallo Eli, I'm currently playing around with merging testing methods and so in and I wanted to ask if you have tried Matortheeternals merge plugin script? As far as I see it does the same thing but automatically. Not 100% sure what possible downsides could be... It looks like it's "coping as override" and adds a FormID list tab with the merged FormIDs. Also not sure as to what propose that happens... Anywho congrats to the inner circle of the Nvidia contest. Fingers are crossed. And yes, I did up vote you as soon as DD asked my/us to. (also voted for lemons :D)
I know it's a stretch, but I was wondering if you could make a video on the process of making custom armors, or at least a speed run of you whilst you're creating one? I have the programs, but I'm new to it. I'm attempting to create clothing from scratch on Maya/3D Max using the MaleBase as reference. I also am trying to create textures in Photoshop using pre-existing textures from the game... Basically I'm a pleb attempting to contribute to the Nexus but I don't know where to start :P
+Okayokay Ty I'll see if I can be arsed. I don't like making tutorials on something I'm not good at. I only use 3ds Max to remove parts of vanilla and other people's armour meshes. I don't actually create anything myself, I just recycle assets, and I'm BAD at it.
nice tutorial! very useful. I did not know the delete key works on list objects like that. :D I recently became familiar with Automation Tools for TES5Edit by Mator. specifically its QuickDisplay and QuickChange scripts. combining it with some scripting abilities of notepad++ I can change multiple strings to multiple other strings of hundreds of records in literally a couple of seconds. are you using any tools like that? I was thinking about maybe making a tutorial at some point about that. it certainly made my life much easier. :)
Eli,I know this is really out of the question but,The Junk Yard,I downloaded Scholar solace and when I walked towards the house,the game keeps crashing,I have the Cutting room floor and I saw on the map that the Iron Tree Mill is next beside(Or Merged,Idk i haven't see it yet)Scholar Solace, I know that you don't work on old mods anymore so could you like give me an insight of what's happening? Thanks in advance
Ran into alot of errors, so tried to make a mod with only 1 object from Homemaker. Did as you explained, but when i press "clean masters" nothing happens. Homemaker.esm is still present... ?? o.O EDIT: Testet it with your mod, and that worked out fine. Don't know why Homemaker can't be gone from masters.
Can you make a tutorial to make a custom paintings? (i'm so noob creting mods and i can't get it work) with material swaps and everything. This tutorials are so helpful
+Julixg M. C. I'll try to remember to make one. Send me a Nexus PM if the video is not up by Friday. I'm working the next few days but then I have a few days off. I'm just really fucking absent-minded-
Hi Elionora. Love your mods for Fallout, great work! Was wondering if I simply remove the constructible objects that I don't need, does this actually free up space in the crafting menu for other objects that may have previously not showed up, due the size limitation in the build menu? Hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to offer :)
+Bandwidth Bob Yes. The items linked to the crafting recipes will just persist in the esp, but won't be in use/won't affect your game in anyway. Remove constructible object -> It's gone from crafting menu.
@@Elianora I love all your mods and maybe you could help me, I'm adding a few things to the build menus and I want to make a static collection buildable in game do you have any idea how to get this to work?
@@Elianora I sat there and made static objects for almost everything, decorated my workstations, and made a static collection but it will not show in game, only info ive gotten is something to do with refrences?

+finni finn I don't think there is a way to get id's for static items like rugs in game, you can search the console for armours, misc objects, furniture and so on. Static items don't work like that I think.
+Elianora thanks for the anwer. now that i found you im eating all your youtube vids atm :) again i got a question, i installed your awesome CF9000GTX fury mod and i love it, there i saw your paintingdisabler.esp could u please explain how exactly this is working? i could use exactly this way to cleanup my workshop-menu :) only difference i see is you edited the CNAM - Created Object from workshopRecipe_PictureFrames "" [FLST:00097646] to ApparelTypeArmor [KYWD:0004A0A7] i could do this too, but i dont want to use this method without understanding what this does, and without knowing if this is all the "magic" :> im really sorry for my noob-questions. thanks in advance!
+finni finn The painting disabler alter what the painting recipes create: It's linked to a keyword instead of an actual creatable item, so the recipes don't show up as the game cannot show a keyword in the craft menu. It's pretty harmless even though xEdit gives an error.

This video is amazingly helpful. Thank you for putting it together!
Thanks for doing this Eli. I was getting frustrated with merging but I think I see my problem now. I was just removing the masters afterwards from the merge without removing dependencies.
+Man Al0ne Yup, gotta link the new recipes to the items first, then let xEdit clean the masters :)

You have to look for anything in each line that could refer to something in the Homemaker mod, could be an icon etc. If you still have the Homemaker as a master file it means there's still a line somewhere that refers back to the Homemaker's stuff.
