#the inescapable horror of the mod cycle

[solesfalloutstuff]

How getting back into Fallout 4 is going:

I made this graph of the process instead of working on my mod list.

1. Just a few mods really increased the stability and playability!

2. More mods for more content and variability!

3. I'll just patch these mods myself to make them play nice.

4. Modding is easy as long as you follow a few rules and put the list together methodically!

5. After weeks of searching out mods and carefully patching them together, my mod list is complete and stable! Days worth of new content, retooled damage formulas, item scarcity improvements, new enemies, the aluminum trays yield aluminum instead of steel!

6. Maybe I can just trim out the incompatible mods - but then I'll need to rebalance and patch what's left.

7. Fuck it let's go back to basics.

8. Okay the game is stable and more playable again, see what other mods I can add....
