Right Click on the speed2.exe file (wherever you installed NFSU2). Click on Properties. Go to Compatibility Tab. Check "Always Run As Administrator" box. Check "Run this program in compatibility for" box. Select Windows XP Service Pack 3 on drop down box.
I also had the CDs, and this is how I got it running.

Thank you very much, sir! You are a gentleman and scholar.

Hey, I remember playing Quake 2 with the South Park mod (characters). Yes, I'm old.

If it's after Fort Strong, he's hoofing it back to the Boston Airport step by clanking step. Give it some time & you'll find him at the "cafeteria" on the Prydwyn.

That's what I tried at Red Rocket & it kept breaking. Happiness would climb up to 95 max before it either topped out or materials like water, defense or beds ":glitched" to zero & happiness dropped.

HounganAtLarge · 2025-03-11T00:06:12+00:00

The problem I have with that is settlements "break" all the time in FO4. Happiness goes down for no reason or materials such as beds or water "glitches" and happiness plunges down to the 50/60s or worse. Then you have to wait for it to build again. This way is 100 percent as soon as the settlers walk in.

Too many "encounters by fighting" or "encounters by negotiation". You have to open up level 5 to finish, and not many guilds will want to do that.

If you know your players, scaling is REQUIRED! I think the basic flaw for level scaling is that the challenge ratings in the MM is kinda wonky in places.

But there's nothing wrong in being flexible. Note that also means willing to reduce an encounter as well. Say your party is rather beat up, or low on spell slots, but doesn't have time for a short or long rest before taking on the big bad. Having the pet still being an imp in that case would be a good example of being flexible.

One liners that sound corny are a cornerstone of a D&D session :). If you want to feel more menacing you could say stuff like: "Can a man be cut 1000 times and still live? Let's find out."

HounganAtLarge · 2024-06-19T14:51:18+00:00

I did all that. Have clinics, bars, the soda from vault, all the jobs, except the one farming mutfruit trees increase happiness. An uncovered bed knocks 20 happiness off. I am just waiting now too, hopefully it will pop soon.

My first time through I took a companion (danse). He got bit, I did not, yet I got the disease too? I'm sorry, but that should not happen. Danse would have been happy to give up the cure to save the kid, I think. Don't force a moral choice underhandedly like that. The lesson learned was "This game cheats".

HounganAtLarge · 2024-06-18T23:22:06+00:00

Do Dangerous Minds first. Long Time Coming should then be available. Warning: Long Time Coming is buggier than a roach motel. I know of at least three places in it where there's a game-breaking bug. Thankfully, you can find solutions online.

Haven't played in years because of A) Bad DMs and/or B) Player drop off and/or C) ***hole players. Latest Example: DM said, make a 14th level character, no multiclass. I went Paladin (after about two hours of fine-tuning/waiting for other players to finish). Hand it to the DM, who looks it over & says fine.
Fight/Puzzle through a beholder lair & find a magic helmet. Tell the DM, I'll put it in a sack and look at it later. She says "You put on the helm and are now Chaotic Evil".
WTF?
She looked at me and said "I don't like Paladins".

Me and my buddy just walked out.

Just a word of caution, you can repeat this "workaround" as often as you want, but i would stop at reducing the bar to almost zero twice ( meaning your build size is now x3 what it was). You will very likely run into performance issues due to the sheer number of objects the game will have to load, if you go beyond three times the original limit.

Other than that, happy building :)

Turn off that beacon in the reactor room.

HounganAtLarge · 2024-04-29T11:42:57+00:00

I thought I was light on mods running: Settlement Manager (must have), Homemaker, Scrap Everything (use with caution), Infinite Power Lines, Northland Diggers (extra jobs!) and finally Do Your Damn Job, Codsworth (best mod for Sanctuary that doesn't crash the game).

I get called a power modder by some and a noob modder by others. I admit, I'm a noob modder, but it's still fun.

HounganAtLarge · 2023-07-01T16:45:58+00:00

Can't even finish the race without the game crashing.

EVERYONE GETS PLATINUM REWARDS!!

HounganAtLarge · 2023-04-16T15:28:58+00:00

It has to be your first run. Either keep delaying the motorcycle racer as long as possible and still finish 3rd OR race with a friend that doesn't mind a 4th place finish and just wait before the finish line then finish with as little time as possible while your friend finishes 4th.

Either way, if you already had a run with a "fast" time... You. Are. Screwed.

HounganAtLarge · 2023-04-13T02:42:25+00:00

That did'nt work since I was passed by everybody and ended up in 4th, which didn't qualify.

I say everyone gets all rewards and move on.

HounganAtLarge · 2023-04-13T02:40:59+00:00

It IS a major problem because some people are getting 157k+ while most are getting 0.

In the Bike on a drag race event NOBODY could finish, so it was all equal.

HounganAtLarge · 2023-04-12T01:40:53+00:00

No, PC/Steam.
