About this mod

(Works for both OldGen and NextGen)
I adjusted settings in various ways, for personal preference...
I do not promise this is a one-size-fits-all approach, rather to get Buffout 4 NG and X-Cell to play well together at least.

Please read further down.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
As of 24 July 2024, this series of configs should be compatible with both OldGen and NextGen...
  • When I say "OldGen", also NextGen with the usage of Simple Downgrader to use OldGen F4SE mods.
Why BUFFOUT 4 NG? Because it does all of the following (results vary based on your system): 
  • Achievements - integrated into Buffout 4, so this would be redundant (enabled by default). 
  • Auto Gamepad Switch - integrated into Buffout 4, so this would be redundant (disabled by default). 
  • Baka MaxPapyrusOps - only for OldGen and VR players; NextGen, use the original; set to max: 2000. 
  • Faster Workshop - integrated into Buffout 4, so this would be redundant (enabled by default). 
  • Interior NavCut Fix - only for NextGen and VR players; OldGen, use the original (enabled by default). 
    - ALL OldGen, NextGen Linux / Mac users, use the original mod (no multithreading for Linux/Mac). 
Why X-CELL?  Because it does all of the following (remove the original mods if you have them): 
X-Cell also fixes an old FaceGen bug with Fallout 4; using the default INI, issues with new faces/FOLON. 
       - Was decided this setting's benefits outweigh issues caused; some mods will need new FaceGen(s). 
       - With the release of VEFS by DoubleYouC, manual FaceGen patches are no longer necessary. 
       - Follow the instructions closely in order for the mod to generate FaceGen for your Load Order. 
       - Wasteland Wonderglue - FaceGen Edition is an alternative option, but doesn't cover all mods. 

#############################
######## REQUIREMENTS ########
#############################

- Address Library for F4SE Plugins: baseline req - either v1.10.163.0 (OldGen) -or- latest (NextGen)

- High FPS Physics Fix (Required for FPS specific settings to work -- 2/5) 
- Long Loading Times Fix (Not Required - Compatibility with High FPS Physics Fix - 3/5) 
  * I don't recommend this; gain is marginal and High FPS Physics Fix is all you need. 
  * Even then, I have provided compatible INIs for those that are stubborn... 
- MCM Booster + MCM Booster NG patch if you're on NextGen (Not Required -- 4/5).

######## FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS ########
####################################
These steps to downgrade from the "NextGen" update of Fallout 4 (specifically to use F4SE OldGen):
  • Install BASS. Allows usage of newer versions of BA2 archives, on an older Fallout 4 base game. 
  • Download and run Simple Fallout 4 Downgrader. Allows usage of OldGen F4SE plugins. 
If using ENB, make sure to also edit the enblocal.ini to the following: 
[ENGINE]
ForceVSync=false

[LIMITER]
EnableFPSLimit=false
For NVIDIA users: also install NVIDIA Reflex Support and Weapon Debris Crash Fix.
For AMD users: AMD FreeSync and Tesselation to "AMD Optimized" in Radeon Software. 

The following other mods are still relevant depending on your setup/system:
- Backported Archive2 Support System (Buffout 4 NG has this for VR players only) 
- Baka MaxPapyrusOps (Buffout 4 NG has this for OldGen and VR players only) 
- Companion Shoots At Player Fix (Buffout 4 NG has this for VR players only) 
- Escape Freeze F4SE (Buffout 4 NG has this for VR players only) 
- Interior NavCut Fix (Buffout 4 NG has this for NextGen and VR players only) 
- Sprint Stuttering Fix

######## JUST SOME EXTRA NOTES ########
##################################### 
- Kept most of the logging across these settings disabled; who needs that? Not me. 
- Do yourself a favor and make sure you don't have the HighRes DLC; it's garbage for performance and there's better mods for that. If you have any mods that require you have this DLC, they're shooting themselves in the foot. 
- Enabled the Buffout 4 compatibility setting with LooksMenu, assuming most here use it anyways. 
- I kept Buffout 4's setting enabled for modded saves getting Achievements. Since Buffout is kind of essential in most builds, might as well use this one. Redundant if you have others like this Achievements mod or this other non-F4SE version, but again Buffout does something well enough, so why not use it. I'm going for a packed content immersive build, so I find it annoying that I get punished for having mods. WARNING: your save history will be separate with [M] from the new saves you make and you'll have to click the option to see other characters when you load the game. Example:
