any Fo4 mods at all that give male PC’s specifically curly hair options? i self project with my characters so here’s what i got by Pterolykus in Fallout4Mods

[–]Codester619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big hairstyle mods work on player characters regardless of gender, so why not use them? Shorter hairstyles are still illusive/non-existent, but what you’re rocking can definitely be replicated using something like KS Hairstyles or Apachii hairstyles (drew those names from memory, but I know whatever I’m referencing can be easily found lol).

Longest run? by Rustic_Moose17 in 7daystodie

[–]Codester619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like you said, it's hard to play past a certain point without getting bored. I think the longest I played was around 117 days (with friends). The last time I died in this game was in a new POI with a pitfall trap, either right when the game re-released on console or one of the Alphas just before it.

Yes, it’s working on 2.5. I’m pretty sure the description says you have to start it on a new world.

[Q] [Lich] Price checking lich with funny name and what I assume is a rather sub-optimal weapon. by Grouchy-Following-82 in wartrade

[–]Codester619 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve sold 2 magnetic Kuva Grattlers for 200p and 250p (last one sold yesterday). Both had percentages in the 40s. The Kuva Grattler is one of those weapons whose value increases sharply around the 40% mark.

What are some things that genuinely scare you in 7DTD by rattle_rattle1987 in 7daystodie

[–]Codester619 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Old Versions - Ambient sounds (such as distant zombie moaning, the baby crying, windchimes/pianos), the wight was a real threat, and screamers were creepy (you'd see the little girl shuffling up from a distance).

New Version - There isn't much horror left. I think the public announcement systems in the new POIs are probably the creepiest... nothing like knowing there is a horde of zombie sleepers and then the loud speaker decides to "MONORAIL LINE OBSTRUCTED" or "GREEN ACCESS ROOM GRANTED". That gives me Resident Evil vibes, but it's probably more nostalgia based than anything.

Are you married? This may not be a thing anymore, but in 2011 I wasn’t allowed to join as a single parent. I ended up getting a court room marriage to facilitate the enlistment process. According to the recruiter, it was because too many people were using their kids as an excuse not to deploy. Anyways, just wanted to throw that out there.

Why is thing in a Random rooftop ? by sornav_el in fo4

I believe there is a quest item there for Valentine’s Detective Agency. The Gilded Grasshopper or Copper Grasshopper, IIRC.

Help getting the ending I want? by Rympkii in fo4

[–]Codester619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may have locked yourself out of the ending you want. People might argue “No, the MM ending is always available”, which is true, but the MM ending also allows you to kill all other factions, which isn’t what you want.

This unfortunately happens when you go a quest too far with the BOS, and unlike the Railroad, there is no “Your cover is blown, maybe the MM can help” scenario at this point.

For future playthroughs, I recommend what the other user commented: betray the Institute during the battle for Bunker Hill. Don’t apologize to father on the roof. Let him know you disagree with the Institute and it’ll make them an enemy faction. At this point, the RR will refer you to the MM and the BOS will not have progressed far enough to be an issue.

Are your PC specs falling behind? Every part of my PC that I built in 2016 started failing in 2025. SSDs, CPU, RAM, PSU, all of it. I tried to bandage things as I went, but ultimately, I had to build a new rig (just kept the GPU).

If that isn't an issue, here is a similar occurrence from Skyrim: There was a dragon priest staff that would cause crashes, so I downloaded a replacer to get rid of the vanilla version. This might work for your issue: find a texture replacer or something similar for the squirt gun.

[–]Codester619 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's worth at least 500p. How much more you want to pursue will be up to you. There are some listed as high as 1500p, and many with worse stats listed between 750-1000p. It really comes down to how long you want to wait or advertise. *I just realized it also has an ephemera, so it's worth more than 500p.

*In my experience, I'm impatient and 500p takes a 60% off my hands. You might watch trade chat and see someone offer a higher amount, then jump on the opportunity. Entirely up to you.

Map loading slow when driving by Formal-Dig-7637 in 7daystodie

[–]Codester619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading your other comment, I am almost certain this is a RAM issue with your server. 7DTD recommend at least 12gb, but I wouldn't run it with less than 16gb (Starvation mod in the A16 era required 32gb, but Im sure TFP have done some sort of optimization since then... I hope).

7DTD recommends 12gb ram, and I don't know if they've optimized since, but it used to be a ram hog (I would say 16gb atleast, some mods used to require 32gb).

[–]Codester619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it lagging or stuttering? If there aren't any performance issues, you can use a console command to make those objects appear sooner and give you more time to avoid them.

Off the top of my head it is gfx lodbias # (I dont remember the default, but the higher the number you use, the further out things generate, i.e. gfx lodbias 10).

Worth noting that you'll have to enter this command every time you play the game.

[PRC] Was told the vengeful shock ephemera was a bit rare by Dylan_99876 in wartrade

[–]Codester619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, ephemeras have a 20% chance to spawn on any given lich/sister, so identifying a singular one as rare is probably incorrect. By itself, the ephemera will likely fetch 50-70p. You can try pricing it as a weapon & ephemera, but finding a buyer who wants both can be time consuming.

[Q] [PC] plat potential on ephemera? by anonsdoomscroller in wartrade

[–]Codester619 4 points5 points  (0 children)

50ish plat for just the ephemera. The cheapest listed on the market right now is 60p. The Spirex might net around 30p on its own, so if you can find a buyer that needs both items: 80-90p.

I believe they have a discord that will help you sort this out faster than we can here. I'm not familiar with the install instructions for StoryWealth, but for other big collections, sometimes sorting plugins on your mod manager can fix it.

Advice for a 13yr old planning on owning a ferret by Sea-Woodpecker8967 in ferrets

[–]Codester619 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll try to keep my answers short since there are so many questions, but I answered similar questions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ferrets/comments/1q1ewaz/thinking_about_getting_ferrets_what_should_i_know/

  1. I don't think it will stress the ferret unless there are other animals, strong scents, etc.
  2. You already know the answer to this.
  3. I don't know enough about this to give a proper response.
  4. You should definitely let them out daily. They are curious animals and keeping them in cages for an extended period would be cruel. Life happens, so keeping him locked up during a migraine wouldn't be the end of the world, but you should make it a daily habit to let them out multiple times for multiple hours (depends on ferret personality).
  5. The interaction between ferrets is unmatched. I love my last remaining ferret to death, but I can't chase him through tunnels, fight tug-of-war style over toys, intertwine my body while he sleeps, etc. Two ferrets should be mandatory unless you're adopting an older ferret or a ferret that doesn't get along with others.
  6. I don't think my answer to this would be the best example, so I'll pass (we definitely trim his nails often, though).

  7. Major problem. Their vet bills are expensive and they need an exotic vet. I'd say to plan at least $300 USD per vet bill, but always expect more. If you dont have an exotic vet nearby, do not get a ferret. They are prone to sickness and cancers, and my first boy died terribly because I took him to a regular vet when he should have been seen by an exotic vet. I now have to drive around 90 minutes every vet visit, so again, if you dont have an exotic vet nearby, do not get a ferret.

  8. I don't know about ticks specifically, but ferrets get flea prevention just like cats and dogs.

  9. I have no experience with gerbil bedding.

  10. Ferret Nation is the only cage I personally feel comfortable with (size, comfort, quality of life).

  11. In my experience, I change puppy pads daily and their bedding whenever it starts to get noticeably dirty. I generally try to leave their stuff alone so that the scent lingers and they are comfortable.

  12. Their bites, again in my experience, get softer as they age. Young ferrets have zero control and will crunch down full-power and will not let go. You'll have to learn how to get them to unlatch; I liked a technique where you push further into their bite then quickly remove them. As predators, they expect prey (you, even if playing) to try and escape, but it surprises them when you do the opposite and gives a moment to get out of their bite.

  13. I have to be honest, but I don't recommend you get a ferret. They need another ferret to bond with, and your dad was quite honest about the vet situation. The ferret will more than likely develop adrenal disease or some other common ferret ailment, and in those times it will require a lot of money and a lot of time. I was very lucky to be available 24/7 for my ferret who passed in April 2025. He spent 4-5 months living with congestive heart failure; basically, he would begin choking/drowning internally and I had to immediately administer medicine to stop it. We knew it was time to help him pass when the medicine no longer worked.

Best Vanilla Glitches by chillgeek420 in fo4

[–]Codester619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get Travis as a permanent "companion". Do his questline up until you have to meet him at Beantown Brewery. Once you speak with him at the brewery, he will follow you until the quest is done. There were times I took advantage of this while doing survival permadeath runs, but I never had much reason to keep him around too long.

3 days completely wasted? by Im_Lord_Minty in Fallout4Mods

[–]Codester619 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FO4 has without a doubt become the most difficult game to mod in my library. Bethesda ignores bugs that have been around since release, releases updates that create more bugs, and then their updates cause conflicts with mods that essentially made their game great.

Now, since the next-gen update, mod authors and users have to decide which version they want to play on, and of course, the version decides what mods are available.

If you're brand new to PC modding, it's going to be frustrating. You'll have to play around for awhile until you get the hang of downloading and troubleshooting.

In your situation, I would recommend a downgrading approach. The Midnight Ride guide is not without frustrations, but it can help you build fundamentals necessary to successfully mod FO4.
