[atombonniebaby]

Hey...I'm still here...FO4 just has my undivided attention right now...🙌🏻🙌🏻

Mac goes and does this today...

Macready: What was this place for… storytime or something?

MacCready: Hi, I'm MacCready... Been drinking since I was six. Never looked back

I'm playing through chapter 3 of Sim Settlements 2, and Mac keeps finding the idle animation markers!

Here...have some "Mac does randoms stuff and I love him for it." snaps that I've wrangled up some words for!(I've also been trying to find a use for that one pic where Mac is getting scolded by his dads...)

Nate: Right ye sticky fingered wee bam...I'm down 3 bottles eh Whiskey, and Jacob here's been tellin' me a third eh the budget seems to have mistakenly been spent on cigarettes...now I know geein' ye a talkin' tae won't do didly squat... MacCready: Get to the point, boss...I got stuff to do! Nate:Okay...nae need to get crabbit...especially when there's a bunch eh caps at stake here... MacCready: Bunch of caps, huh? Okay, hotshot. Spill it... Nate: Aye...I thought that might tickle your fancy...so, how's about a wee wager? One week without a dram or a smoke passin through that smart mouth eh yours and there'll be a tidy sum at the end for ye? MacCready: A'right old man... name your price? Nate: 500 caps... and Jake's gonna lay aff the coffee...he'll pocket another 50 for every day he cannae hack it... Jake: Woah...woah...Now... hold on a dang minute, Slick! I never... Nate: Ye no remember? I said I'd move Aiden to another floor? As far away from ye as possible? Jake: Oh...oh, yeah! Now I remember...One week...whaddya say, son? MacCready: Oh man, I love the sound a pile of caps makes.

MacCready finds a few ways to keep busy...

The time flies ...

MacCready: The only thing better than getting a bunch of caps is spending a bunch of caps.

Nate gets another week before it's back to the 'phantom cigarette pose' and daily repetitions of...

"Man, I could really use a cigarette."

jake is so cute...... i love you jake evans from the fallout 4 mod sim settlements 2

[zombiecakes]

Ssssecond round!

2, 3, 6, 10, 16, 18, 30, 47, 54!!!!!!

for Zirky <3

Round 2, fight!!

❤️❤️❤️❤️😘

2. Are they a canon main character? (Lone Wander, Courier Six, etc.)

I call him “sole survivor” in tags, but no. He grew up in the Commonwealth streets scrounging for food (and eventually chems as he got older) and bouncing from shitty group to shitty group.

3. What is their SPECIAL?

Strength - 1

Perception - 10 (after finding his glasses)

Endurance - 1

Charisma - 1

Intelligence- 2

Agility - 8

Luck - 8

Strengths: sneaky, can hit fukkers thru walls, and the people who manage to get a shot off in his direction usually end up killing themselves (ricochet). Lady luck adores him 😘

Weaknesses: Dumb, ugly, and can't carry shit (like he just finished putting lead lining on his armor and he has to carry a backpack or he's already encumbered before even picking anything up 😭)

Note from me: I play FO4 in a moving vehicle, so VATS is kinda my only option. It's been really interesting making an oc who just kinda sucks at everything and relies so heavily on technology LOL

6. Were they born pre-war or post-war?

Post-war

10. What language(s) do they speak?

He only knows two languages: English and Bad English

16. What is their biggest regret

He carries a lot of anger, but not a lot of regret. Regret requires that you take responsibility for the world around you, and he doesn't do that. In his opinion, he's always reacting, never in control. He has things he wishes he had the power to change, but no regrets. Well, maybe that's a regret? Not having more power? Fixing that is certainly his life's goal.

18. Do they have any disabilities, mutations, or implants / enhancements? Do they have any chronic illnesses?

Just him glasses and its VATS connection that he continues to seek upgrades for. Zirk isn't actually very good at anything on his own, so he's always looking for outside improvements, like VATS holotapes, to gain an edge.

30. What decisions have they made or actions have they done that affect their canon wasteland? (Did they blow up Megaton, have they killed/spared any major characters, etc.)

Besides being Raider boss? Let's seee….

Encouraged Covenant to keep doing its thing (he's VERY paranoid about synths and totally drank the lemonaid)

Parties with Mama Murphy

Realized he was losing raider loyalty to hunger and joined forces with Jake (sim settlements… Poor jake tho guys… 😔 Zirk is so mean to him…)

Gunner war (also sim settlements)!! 😤

I can't think of anything else rn LOL. I wish there were more ways to pursue the main plotline with just raiders but whatevs

47. Do they enjoy reading?

Not really. It's something he had to learn after he found the Pip Boy a few years ago, and it's still really difficult for him.

54. Do they prefer showers or baths?

Neither. Not unless they involve a vault-heated shower head and the company of a certain scrumptious mohawked raider 😊

Have been loving the “what is this feeling” playlist so far, the vibes are fantastic.. I’ve been trying to find Aiden on the Nexus and fallout wiki without success lol… would love to hear about Aiden & Vera !!! 🥺 how do they meet? What do they enjoy about each other? What’s their dynamic like :)c

jay i love you you ask the best questions 💕😭

Aiden's actually from the Sim Settlements 2 fo4 mod, which is a *huge* settlement building/story mod (let's be real, I usually play with it as the main plot of a playthrough and finding Shaun is like... a sideplot). When we (and Vera) meet Aiden, he's an ex-Minuteman hunting Gunners. And Vera is like... that's legit. The Gunners took over Quincy in essentially a massacre, they take control of settlements and kill people that resist, like sure. She's pretty much on board with stopping them at all costs. (meanwhile Nora and Jake (Jake being the main main character of the mod) are like.... hmmmmm seems kinda vigilante-ish.)

i don't have time to get into the whole plot of the mod, but at some point Vera and Aiden team up to rescue a kidnapped Jake, and I think that whole adventure is really the start of them being friends. because Vera doesn't look down on Aiden for his views on the Gunners and Vera appreciates that Aiden is fairly like... level-headed and flexible (willing to sneak into the Gunner base vs going in guns blazing). And doesn't feel the need to fill the silence with talk. They really kinda respect each other a lot and there's definitely this kind of understanding between them that's "I won't judge you." like Aiden is the first person in... potentially ever? that Vera talks about her complicated feelings about Project Purity (fo3 plot thing) with.

Their relationship progression is a bit odd, in that they start sleeping together before they realize developing feelings, so things get *flails* complicated. but it works out in the end (Vera deserves happiness damn it.)

[eternalchant]

incredibly half-baked sketch scribbled after i finished a comm but working on a new sole for a bos run just because i want to finally 100% the game on steam... platinum'd it on ps4 ages ago but it's time to finally do it on steam. anyways... this is ira. :)

putting more info under a read more because lol. i'm doing a full bos run with him for achievements but like. canonically he doesn't stick with them. he's also the husband for my sole jordan that i'm playing w/ on my current playthrough. honestly i will just screenshot my tweets about it all.

not blocking my @ but it's a priv for close mutuals so.. if u req i'll probably just ignore it >>

BTW i mentioned "jake" in there. i mean jake evans from sim settlements 2 lollll. i like him :)

also his in-game appearance & a picrew i used to try and figure him out a bit more because the fo4 cc for men kind of sucks. to me.

Some facts about my new FO4 OC Annie🖤

Go to drink order.

Annie doesn’t drink. Never liked the taste of alcohol even before the bombs, but now it all tasted sour. Even ‘bucket brew’ as the wastelanders called it, turned her stomach. Nukas are fine to stay up when on the road, coffee is her preferred caffeine route when home. Give her purified water anytime

Grooming

She likes to stay as clean as she can. Showers regularly, does laundry, shaves when she can. Her time with the BOS was enlightening on wasteland cleanliness. Brushes her hair and likes it up or tied back. Keeps her gear in tip top shape. I really like to role play that she is a traveling medic, since I work in healthcare irl.

Most expensive purchase

Getting HQ up and running was no easy, cheap task. Annie put up a lot of funding to get the departments up and running. Not to mention settlements. Making sure meds, chems, food is in good supply. Basically her caps go towards the greater good. She turned Starlight theater into a large “Family Center”. Arcade games, Nuka World carnival style games, rides for little kids, cotton candy machines and a weekly movie night. This fricken settlement took me so much time to build, but I think Annie found it therapeutic even though it was expensive to build.

Any tattoos or scars?

She has a cat tattoo on her right hand. It’s just a black line tattoo that she got when she was younger. As far s as scars go, no. A couple scrapes from commonwealth life, but nothing note worthy. I’am planning on her having burns at some point after her fight with the Forged.

Factions.

Annie is my FO4, Sim settlements 2 character. If you have not played this mod, consider it. Game changing. Annie starts off MM and stays with them for the most part. Gets the good, 3 faction ending. Spends a lot of time with the CPD, Commonwealth Police Department, along side Nick; solving crimes and going after Good Neighbor goons and Merowski dealers.

Annie loves the Nightingales. Helps them whenever she can. And it has nothing to do with Raphael… no matter what Jake thinks 😉

RR will always be special. Danse, Curie, little Shaun, Nick…synths are love 🫶🏻. Also Deacon is her boi.

Going back to the CPD, did I mention she got Gage to be a good boy…after the events of Nuka World, she spares the Pack and Operators and Gage; and as long as they don’t have to work with the MM, they’re fine working with Annie. Gage ends up working for the CPD and he ends up looking something like this 🫠

So yeah…he’s distracting

Romance 💘

She is Mrs. Jake Evans. But it wasn’t like that in the beginning. Jake was friendly but distant, he had his own troubles he was going through. So while Annie was crazy for him, it took a while for Jake to reciprocate those feelings. But everyone knows the quick fix for the lonely blues can be found in Good Neighbor. Hancock and Annie had a few boozy nights together, but John is no dummy. He sees her broken heart and knows it longs for someone else and encourages her to go to Jake in her own time.

Okay, finally managed to finish first Chapter of Sim Settlements 2! (Atleast... I think? As Concord suddenly became a living and thriving settlement out of nowhere and *for some reason* The Stranger Jake looks... different to me. I cannot pinpoint what exactly it is, if his model got changed for the second chapter [assuming for a compatibility reasons] or whenever I am simply hallucinating, but it really made me pause the game for a second and check him closely in Photo Editor)

-right! One more thing, I also managed to make REshade running together with Photo Mod, so that made me a slightly happier person aswell :) Really love using this tool when playing other Fallouts or TheHunter to tinker around with screenshots. I put my good old friend Filmic Workshop Reshade on top and bang, got myself a huge collection of photos in matter of minutes. (Not as good as most of the game photographers here on Tumblr, but trust me when I say it’s fun!)

Back to the SS2 though - the first chapter was a bit shorter than what I expected, but nonetheless it was quite entertaining experience and I really digged going through it. It’s quest system was very well structured and I apprecieted that the “Find Jake here” quests were done with mind on the player’s level, starting out close to Sanctuary and progressively pushing you to go farther and farther in a very friendly way.

As mentioned in my first post about this mod, the writing and voice acting was absolutely superb - seriously, hats down for the team. When I went to Vault 81 for the first time and the blonde-haired guy started talking to me, I chuckled to myself thinking “Damn, Bethesda really decided to make a clearly Vault Boy inspired NPC, huh.” and after a second of thinking that I do not recall him from the vanilla game, I realized that it’s one of the characters from the mod! Like, seriously- that caught me offguard. The writing really matches the... specific, lighthearted writing of Beth, but in a good way, making it feel like the mod’s story indeed connects with the original game and that the characters ain’t out of touch, as what usually happens with most of the FO4 mods.

In terms of the technical side, a.k.a the building mechanics of the mod, I am still... struggling with it, atleast with some parts. Still trying to figure out the leveling system and the icons next to the residental plots, but outside of that, the mod offers a very good explanation of its mechanics, either through the Holotape or the Jake “Tutorial Guy” Evans himself. Though, the Place Everywhere Mod was a genuine lifesaver and cannot imagine working without it, as there were moments where it pushed me to build plots in incredibly high places.  It was nice thing that the plot types were introduced to you bit by bit, not only it was not as overwhelming figuring all the stuff in one time, but it also gave you a sense of accomplishment/progress and personally made me joyous when I realized that I can make Brahmin Caravan spots - heck yeah!

The characters... damn, hard to say who I liked the most. Jake is a genuine sweetheart and made me almost tear up few times, wouldn’t believe I would get so emotional over a NPC :’) From the settlers, Old Paul is of course the most fleshed out of the characters and him and little Cola are always lovely duo to come across in Sanctuary, but I... also really liked Lily? She is quite a nosy character and always seems to comment on things around the settlement, but it was so cool to hear her having an unique dialogue when I switched her job from Farmer to Doctor. She sounded... so much happier, and made me feel like it really matters you give your settlers a job they are gonna like. Ron was the first character during whose dialogue I found out there are a Perk specific dialogue options, as I could bribe him to give me piece of information for free thanks to equipped Black Widow - not only it was a very pleasant surprise that your perks actually matter for once, but it was a really fun dialogue exchange. In hindsight though, it makes me feel bit bad for him that he did not get any caps for it :’) Ah right, Aiden! Really did not expect him to meet him during that specific quest, and when I saw him I was like “Yoooo, that’s the guy I saw fanarts of!”

Really thought he made his first appearance in Chapter 2, so that was another thing that caught me by surprise :’) not much sure what to say about him though, sadly, as there was not alot of his screentime in this part.

So to conclude the whole thing, I really enjoyed the mod and am looking foward playing the continuation! Might take me even longer time thanks to Uni responsibilities and the fact that I feel like Ch2 expects you to progress more in the main story/the game than what I currently did, so a next progress report might be in much wider gap then this time-

New Sosu: her name is Lynn and mutfruit/charcoal are the only things maintaining her make up.

She pretty rapidly settled into settlement building and so on once things got going-- she’s itching to go to diamond city, but she’s also not totally convinced she’ll be able to find Shaun. She’s still looking, but oof is it a rough thing to convince herself isn’t just... she’s sure he’s been carted off somewhere she won’t find him, or she’d not recognize him if she did see him. So, focusing on helping people to avoid learning the truth. Which is how she met Jake Evans and started using ASAMS to help teach her settlers how to build things. And powering up Concord. And then meeting Father Callum in the church across from Jake’s Hardware shop, and taking jobs to help build Concord up into an actual community. Lynn is three seconds from politely informing the Father that she’s Jewish and shouldn’t really be coming into the church while he’s doing sermons, no matter how nice he asks her to attend one. That said she’s 90% sure the skeletons laying everywhere from the people that died in the War make it... does a bunch of bodies and 200 years make a church not weird to go in, halacha wise? She doesn’t know, she’s not a rabbi. She barely finished her conversion in time for Shaun to be born and her to marry Nate, let alone brush up on “maybe don’t go into other houses of religion if you can help it” rules. He seems nice enough about it though, which is good-- and offered to help set up a graveyard. Which is nice, because there’s... so many dead raiders. And Gunners. And elderly. She’s on the hunt for a siddur though, because she feels skeevy not having the option to be 100% correct on prayers when there’s a whole... uh her... being Jewish around. If she finds even a single pocket version of the torah with it in english she’ll be happy-- because she doesn’t know if a scroll would have made it through 200 years AND the bullshit that was pre-war america. Somewhere i’m going to have to pretend a bunch of overdue books are her judaica. [I decided Jake Evans is Jewish too, because i like him and he also was weirded out by Father Callum saying “lord bless you” etc.]

A fun thing though is she comes off v chill about the whole Shaun thing in the Sim Settlements 2 dialogue and its killing me:

I know its meant to be a [hand on hip, shifts weight to not focus on what you’re saying] position, but it felt/feels very much like she’s going “Okay, here’s my story for the 5th time this week to about as many people. SO: shits fucked.”

Lynn and Preston are going to go ham on Gunners and build so many towns.

WIP Wednesday

From Cry Mercy - we are getting into a modified Chapter 2 of Sim Settlements 2 and I'm excited at where we're headed!

From Section 2, Chapter 38 - Mercy discusses with the fellas what to do about the Gunners. Reminder that Canary belongs to @alder-berry

tagging: @alder-berry @bokatan @adventuresofmeghatron @kyngsnake @bleumanouche @khazrablood

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“That’s good to hear, Codsworth. Especially since I’m concerned that this will be the Gunner’s first stop. Sanctuary is the oldest settlement. While Hangman’s has advanced faster, Sanctuary was the first one I started. And I just put myself out there as enemy number one. Which is where I’d rather be.”

“You want them to focus on us?” MacCready asked.

“Yes. Because we’re not some one-off settlement. Sure, we need to work on our militia, but taking back the Castle has done wonders for our recruitment. And while I don’t think we can take on the Gunners in a head-to-head fight, I do think we can keep them from taking over our settlements,” Mercy said. 

“Are you sure about that?” MacCready asked. He held up a hand to stop her from talking. “I don’t mean to question their loyalty or abilities. I’m just concerned because the Gunners are serious business. And they did defeat the Minutemen in Quincy.”

“About that,” Mercy said. “Quincy. We should clear it out. There might be clues as to where the comm hub is. And we don’t want those assholes to keep Quincy and use it to undermine our morale.”

“You…you want to take Quincy from the Gunner…” MacCready said, slowly, emphasizing the words Quincy and Gunners.

“Yes.”

“Do we have an army?”

Mercy smiled. “We won’t need one. We’re going to infiltrate them. My way.”

“What does that mean?” MacCready asked. “Do I want to know?”

She grinned. “I’m going to see if Canary is available for this Op. I think she and Sparrow can leave Algernon to Aiden.”

“You think those two…” MacCready stopped as Deacon held up a hand. “What?”

“We’re good if we’re bringing in Canary and Sparrow. I feel bad for the Gunners all of a sudden,” Deacon said. 

MacCready scowled at Deacon who just shook his head. Mercy grinned at Jake who shrugged. Mercy didn’t feel bad for the Gunners. Anything they got was, in her mind, justice. And who better to deliver it than two of the best infiltrators she’d ever met?

[atombonniebaby]

And to think I once believed this was just a building mod...

I do suspect that the "Stranger" and Nate's little bit of role playing (wink wink) is a nod to Kinggath making this mod (that I love so much!) because he was fed up needing to build homes for his settlers! (dang right do it yourself!)

Look at baby Nate! Look at him and his wee jacket!

Jake has the best expressions!...

"But Wait! What is this? Why, it's an ASAM! Just the Thing I need!"

(There's a reason my Fic is named after this moment!...you can find that here!)

Now I need to capture the version where the raiders have not been dealt with (because Jake's reaction to the Deathclaw is the only one I'll ever accept!)

Mods btw:

Expressive expressions and distinctive teeth play a part I'd assume!

Sim Settlements 2 (obviously)

Butterfly knife is the Select Balisong

Nate's outfit is the Rebel Jacket from the Mercenary Pack with the rebel opened jacket retexture!

[eurodynamic]

save me jake evans from the fanmade fallout 4 mod sim settlements 2

[jakesradio]

Happy Pride from Jake and Dorian <3 Jake is from the mod sims settlements 2 for fallout 4!

[veshialles]

tbh the fact that it’s heavily implied that Chapter 2 was meant to take place immediately after the events of Chapter 1 makes me (and my OC Valerie by extension) feel even more guilty about the fact that just over an entire month has passed in-game since Jake went missing 😬😬
