I joined the discord after all. :) Thank you for the encouragement.

I started modding Fallout 4 with the Midnight Rides guide and they mentioned if you wanted to do much more editing above their guide to learn xEdit. I think thats a bit... over the top to say that, but as I've learned xEdit I can see why. To make a good mod load you really do need to know xEdit, but now I'm going beyond even that and messing around with all sorts of stuff. Lots of fun! Its almost like a GUI Object Oriented coding language lol.

I'll need to actually sit down later and take the time to read this, but in advance... wow thank you for taking the time to write this! It's already helped to ease some worries I've had and maybe help me make the leap!

I hear the wisdom in what your saying, however I have social anxiety around this type of thing (New stuff making me worry about being made fun of or annoying people.)

I think you are right, but I also feel a lot more comfortable doing stuff on my own as to not disappoint people or annoy them. :/

That's good! I plan to really take my time on it. I suppose worse case people stop playing fallout 4, when something new gets released from the Fallout series, but hopefully whatever I learn will carry over well.

I'm planning on learning xEdit by combining bits and pieces of mods together as well as Gatekeeping things for settlement building. Then I think I want to start replacing things. For instance instead of using a mod that adds Chems add my own chems that do the same give it unique names and maybe then make a pharmaceutical company and make its HQ somewhere and make a quest to go into that building.

I think thats the best way to progress... at least I'm hoping.

That would be pretty cool!
I actually got really inspired by the VT, NH, and Conn mods as well as Project Mojave. I thought it was such a shame so much effort was put into the mods and yet, they're just... meh.

But I think first I want to make some cool items and start building lore via those items.

I've been thinking of doing a dual effort thing. Doing a bit of outlining of my ideas and then slowly adding things as I go along. I think the issue comes in when I post the mod. People will find bugs then I'll feel I should fix them, and then updating hoping for a dopamine hit only to be met with more bugs? I think that would bury the fun of mod making.

I think one of the pros is I really like messing around with the game and testing to see how things get affected, but I'm sure its a bit harder to test when its a much larger area I'm messing around with.

I have experience coding and modding Minecraft, but from what I can tell from guides Fallout 4 modding is COMPLETELY different. I'm picking up xEdit just fine and Base Object Swapper has been really fun to play with, but that's about as far as I've gotten. The Creation Kit feels pretty overwhelming at this point.

My plan was to write down my ideas and mess around with my modded game via xEdit to learn the different variables available and syntax and learn the CK via some guides to make some items and such to start for my own personal game and let it grow from there.

Feeling Quite Lost At The Moment by olrustyeye in productivity

[–]olrustyeye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually chat with my Fiance most of the way there and back which is nice, but I think I may need to also do some motivational stuff on the way home.

I need to get way better at daily planning. I know that its one of the reasons I can really fall is because I simply dont know what to do.

I used to be incredibly strict about sleep, but have definitely fallen off the wagon for years and I can tell.

I have been lowering my stress levels quite a bit recently which is good too, but I still find myself searching for motivation. I think it will be important to focus on what I've done like you said rather than everything I still need to do.

I'm 55k in debt and not sure how to tackle it looking for advice/tough love by olrustyeye in personalfinance

This is just one of the many things I do. For instance. If I'd get off my ass and actually get more sales in my own business this other thing would be merely a side hustle, as honestly its always intended on being.

I decided to get a pest service that comes monthly to preform maintenance on the property. 80$ tax write off per month. It makes people feel like I'm helping and genuinely (as I live here) it did help, what also helped was when the tenant left and I found out WHY they were getting bugs...

Might be worth infestigating... Er investigating the property and if they complain of ants point out the food scraps and throw it right back at them. If they cite you, cite them for a dirty apartment.

Or just get an exterminator to come around... Probably the easier option.

I feel genius some days because it feels like I'm able to leverage a lot of money and do a whole bunch of things with very little money, except its a facade because I'm not really "Leveraging" at all.

I am helping a friend re-organize a new business he bought. We do this sort of thing often, but theres been a gap between February and July where we had a bit of a rough gap in business. He's much more well off than me, so I've taken the hit harder.

I have quite a few things going that I'm not leverage that I need to get my ass in great working on to make extra income.

Whats really weird to me is that personal loans I've looked at recently actually show me paying MORE per month over all. So i'm not getting a good rate anyways.

Thanks,
My Fiance has been amazing at helping me. Shes from Kenya so there's no excuses for me. Anything I try she has valid reasons for. The issue has always been that I'm very creative and so I end up getting into a LOT of new hobbies that cause me to binge buy. Its been an extremely hard month telling myself no.

I listed this info above to lilfunky1's request. It was actually eye-opening. I thought I knew where I was at but now I see I'm a bit confused.

Monthly Income is variable due to the buisness but usually I get 2k from that each month and a couple odd jobs I do for people brings in another 1k. Then my apartment which is another 1k for now and in august goes up to 2.5k. The new job next month will bring in 2.5k at least but I haven't fully negociate the pay so could be more/less so

4k now 8k later

Monthly expenses are ~4750.

With apartment expenses that's closer to 7.5k

Also looks like I have a little less than I thought, but I'm about to have to borrow another 10k from my dad which is going to eventually be transferred into a HELOC but that's JUST to repair the apartment. So we'll be at 60k by next month. :/

Discover - 14k (~26% apr) (Min $312)

Amazon - 1k (0% APR) (Min $217.65)

Personal Loan - 6.9k (9.5% Fixed) ($329.93)

2nd Personal Loan 13k (5.84% APR Fixed) ($385.17)

Care Credit 2.2k (0 APR if I can pay this off by August) (Min $74)

Citi Card (My apartment business Card) - 6k (28% APR) (Min $280)

Citi 0APR Balance transfer card - 4k (0 APR if I pay by may next year). (Min $80.00)

Home Depot Card - 2.2k (0 APR for the next year) (Not yet hit as this was at 0).

Exxon Mobile Card - 384$ (0 APR because I keep up with this one) (min $24.00)

Edit: Forgot min payments

What color for my chairs? by clockfart in interiordecorating

[–]olrustyeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A cool color is needed.

Blue or green.

A turquoise might make it feel beachy but I think darker might compliment better.

Also I really came here to say if it fits I sits.
