Fallout 4 VR “Mad God Overhaul” Modlist — Fixes and Customization Guide

TL;DR

  • When installing Mad God Overhaul, I found it had game and mod compatibility issues.
  • To fix it, I removed 3 problematic mods, created 3 merge patches to fix conflicts, added Far Distance LOD (Level of Detail), and added a few mods from GingasVR’s list to enhance graphics and gameplay.
  • The result is 95% vanilla gameplay at any difficulty level, improved interface, no conflict issues, full LODs, and working Sim Settlements 2!
  • I use it as a baseline working list for swapping graphics mods for personal taste, and to set up survival just as I like it without forced imbalance.
  • Below are the steps I took to customize the list, similar to my previous GingasVR Essentials Overhaul Customization Guide.
  • For comments and questions, please see my Reddit post.
  • Maybe now I can finally play the damn game 😀

GingasVR’s “Fallout 4 VR Essentials Overhaul” Customization Guide

tl;dr

  • Wanting to play Fallout 4 in VR, I quickly realized I must use mods; after trying out the 3 available modlists, “GingasVR’s Essentials Overhaul” was the best.
  • After playing “vanilla” Gingas modlist for 10+ hours, I started noticing changes I didn’t like, but customizing the mods and gameplay was hard and error-prone.
  • After spending far too much time, I finally managed to customize the gameplay to my liking by removing ~30 mods, adding ~6, and tweaking INIs.
  • In my humble opinion (IMHO), the result is focused on gameplay, closer to vanilla, and better balanced.
  • I would like to offer the steps I took to customize the modlist, as a guide for others.
  • For comments and questions, please see my Reddit post.
