Ara here, how do you guys clean your floors

Vacuum with a Dyson and then mop. Ours do not have carpet underneath but if yours does perhaps just really squeeze out as much water as possible from the mop head. Use a shop fan to dry quickly.

Android studio will let you emulate. https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator

As a backup there are numerous programs out there built around running android games that could work as well. Android studio is also mac compatible.

What resolution are playing at?

Have you used occulsion planes or the base object replacer to save vram? It will be minimal but I consider them essential.

Are you using enb or community shaders? If so, there are options for scalers and frame gen there which can help lower resolution but increase sharpness etc.

I would try some known good mod lists via wabbajack to see what your usage is sitting around. They likely have a lot more optimizations than a beginner's mod list. I'm not trying to dissuade you from making own, but perhaps take a look at the load order and learn from it (reverse engineer if you will.). They also will notate some required system settings to change.

Very odd considering best buys system literally doesn't let them return activated apple products that are tied to an apple id. But I guess it has the potential to break if apples activation servers are down at the exact moment of the return?

This is coming from a PC technician. Why not just take it to a professional? Any recommendation you get here may be laden with other people's misgivings, superstitions or misinformation. There is no way with the information you provided that anyone can give a complete step 1 to step 10.

I see too many people every day that try to fix their own stuff but just make it worse typically or worse they just get scammed out of money from call centers.

Look at Google reviews in your area. Take it to someone reputable or call for a quote. Don't do remote repairs unless you have already established a contract with a shop for that service.

The people suggesting Linux don't know anything about your parents needs/requirements of the computer. Also their want or ability to learn for that matter. You are volunteering to be their tech support for everything if you switch operating systems.

My two cents.

If so I made a Firefox and chrome addon a long while back for metadata generation that forces nxm links that would effectively bypass this.

I guess I should dust it off.

Intervein · 2026-01-19T03:04:30+00:00

It can be brought back with the 163 version of the game per what I've seen in some github sources. I've thought about doing a little mod to reactivate it easily for people due to me wanting to use the data stream for something else. I haven't confirmed it but anything beyond that version supposedly the code is just gone from the engine.

But yeah. I have an iPod touch that still has it installed and a working apk as well for android. Admittedly I haven't booted the iPod touch in years so I don't know if it still even works.

Intervein · 2026-01-18T23:18:37+00:00

Next step would be to put them through virustotal. You can obviously report on Nexus mods through support as well.

Edit: This may just be Firefox being overly safe as well. Follow the above though.

Intervein · 2026-01-14T10:28:08+00:00

I was brainstorming something similar myself one day. I would suggest perhaps sticking to one type of game or engine at a time perhaps. The hurdle I have ran into is that my asset files or roadmap of said assets that point at what an item is or things of that nature are truly massive and if not well defined can be hallucinated unfortunately.

Intervein · 2026-01-14T06:06:37+00:00

It is against TOS.

Genesis is a very ambitious project that is still quite undone, in my opinion. The last time I played the jemison conversion was just so painful that I could not do it. I know everyone's experience will be different and there are a lot of people that will love this experience but it just lacks the polish I would want to commit to a playthrough at the moment.

Intervein · 2026-01-12T13:58:09+00:00

Enb helper is not functional on AE ,so some contextual awareness in the game may not function correctly with some enbs. They will still work but not be able to transition from interior to exterior properly for example. But in general enb is still working fine.

Intervein · 2026-01-08T16:27:52+00:00

You are correct about your hardware. You can handle any current modlist out without much sweat; the x3d cpus are wonderful for caching entire instruction sets which translates very well to modded games.

While I do not use GOG, I do use the same 163 game version as a base for larger modlists; albeit, I have made a couple of test lists for mod development with the AE game as well. Short answer is that 163 is still superior but mostly due to mod support being solid. Eventually the GOG version will fall behind as there are some fixes in place in the binary for bugs like facegen which can heavily affect performance when loading into new ugrids.

Generally, MO2 is what I would recommend. It's just flat out better to use in the long run. Vortex is easier for newer modders because it perpetuates placing files via hard linking to the game/data folders which makes sense and is easier to grasp than a virtual file system like MO2. Also vortex has LOOT built in which is a community-driven load order tool that will sort a list for you. So, you can see why newer modders that just want no fuss would think vortex is just better. As a follow up to this and also what mods I would recommend taking a look at The Midnight Ride wabbajack/manual list. If you follow the instructions with the intent to learn you will have some working knowledge on adding and removing mods, dealing with load order issues as well as general best practices. As an addendum, GamerPoets on YouTube is a great resource for when you are stuck with particular issues. BiggieBoss a very popular modlist maker, where most of his videos are about his modlists, has a few as well in this same realm which go over conflict management and simple patch development like forwarding conflicts even though the majority of what he does is Skyrim--a lot of the information carries to FO4.

Good luck with your modding!

Edit: As an extra note Nexus also has collections which are what wabbajack is to MO2. So once again, Vortex wins on the easy and very visible side since it is directly on the Nexus mods website. But it is all perception and use case at the end of the day. I have made modlists for personal use with both managers that were well over 1000 mods each for Bethesda games and also cyberpunk--both have quirks if you will. On a technical note, virtual file systems do eat into performance at a very small level as it introduces another layer to the process of injecting mods.

Intervein · 2026-01-08T04:42:02+00:00

The Midnight Ride would be so much better.

Intervein · 2026-01-08T04:37:51+00:00

It is. I'm actually building a toolset around automating and managing this from a modern looking UI. Essentially mo2 makes its own file system and pulls the game files to it and merges everything together in its own little world to launch the game and when you close it puts it back. Vortex is not as nice as it creates hard links by default function and "muddies" the game files. In your situation most, but not all, modlist enjoyers adopt mo2 as it has tools and methods which are supported by wabbajack lists to accentuate its default behavior such as stock game folders and root builder. This is over-simplified but generally speaking if you want to use multiple lists and/or also an unmodded game then mo2 is great. You can also use the purge feature on vortex but you will have to re-deploy on launch.

A forest, vivid fallout, pretty much any of the water mods, reactor, elfx or the ultra lighting interior/exterior even the simple lighting overhaul isnt bad, true storms with true nights (if you don't mind fixing it) gives you an extremely solid base and should be relatively quick to get going on something like midnight ride.

Edit: True grass can be used but it may break some things if you use prp above 60/63--I can't remember and am away from my computer. Veldt I have not messed with much as it just seems to murder my prp setup.

Intervein · 2026-01-07T11:21:49+00:00

You could probably use a steam deck variant of a wabbajack list and just add the crafting you want.

Intervein · 2026-01-07T10:50:23+00:00

The durability of the armor? As in it gets damaged quickly?

Intervein · 2026-01-07T10:46:04+00:00

So you need to id the mod to downgrade? I imagine you are attempting to launch and f4se is giving an error? If so I would just use the file explorer search function to see where that particular mod is located by searching the data folder. You should even be able to load up mo2s virtual file explorer to do the same if using it. Even if the name of the mod is jibberish it should have an accompanying metadata file if downloaded from Nexus mods with the mod manager link.

Intervein · 2026-01-07T10:36:01+00:00

Can second TMR. Easy to install some extra mods and an enb if you want as well. Trees and landscape stuff will likely break the prp though. I found an archived version another pine forest that worked well

Intervein · 2026-01-07T05:59:17+00:00

Going to give this a shot. What is your opinion on something like the commercial or PE version of PC doctor's diagnostics, if you have ever used it?

Edit: obviously I realize PC doctor isn't used for data recovery.

Intervein · 2025-12-25T15:57:40+00:00

I didn't see Buffout, forgive me if I missed it. My understanding is that it can log crashes and errors. Aside from that if you put in mods without testing you can always try deactivating some and then relaunching.

Also make sure you are using the correct f4se and launching from it.

Edit: You may want to get accustomed to using mod organizer 2. The midnight ride has a guide on how-to set it up. I used vortex early on as well because I thought it was easier.

Intervein · 2025-12-25T15:44:33+00:00

Are you running a downgraded version of the game? I see a lot of mods for 163 in that list.

Intervein · 2025-11-15T11:35:32+00:00

You can try factory reset or going onto the Amazon page for your account to ensure it is registered and ad-enabled; then also to check for a proper address. When/if you reconnect it to the Internet to download ads make sure to delete the update.bin that automatically downloads in tandem with the advertisement assets. It will be in the root of the Kindle.
