They had to draw the line somewhere I guess, otherwise people would be building megatowers and crashing for lack of VRAM...then screaming at Beth because of it.
I’m waiting to mod until after the Creation Kit is out (and I finish the game at least once stock.
Come to think of it, Skyrim had a couple cap remover mods as well. The 4Gig mod that opened up the useable memory cap and the open world mod that made the insides of the big holds part of the greater world - no load screens/seemeless movement from outside to inside the walls.
Settlement hell!
Where are all these people coming from? I’m shuffling people allover the Commonwealth. Sim City! I go to my house in Sanctuary after narrowly avoiding a 50 cal to the knee and what do I find? 17 (literally) people in my living room just standing there. Definitely adds a whole other level to the game.
I am thinking that putting up only 2 or 3 recruiting beacons at a time and fleshing out the settlements completely before adding more is the way to go.
And establishing trade routes is a MUST to avoiding a metric ton of fast traveling to get junk to build with.
The upside is once the mods get flowing I actually will be able to fulfill my destiny and bring boobs to the boobless. Should help the Happiness factor in settlements a lot.
