Even if I'm button mashing at the time I will at least register the dialog box popping up and know why. I leave settlement attacks on but use Skjalert to get a dialog box when they happen. If I go back to FO4 eventually, I might try Sim Settlements instead, to see if that's more interesting. By mid-game I installed Settlement Attacks Beyond (to try and make settlement defense less dumb and annoying), and by late mid-game I switched to No Settlement Attacks (because it turned out that settlement defense couldn't be made less dumb and annoying). It.almost helped, but not a lot, to be honest. Place Everywhere, Longer Power Lines, Scrap Everything, some fence/wall improvements, that kind of thing. Later on, I started throwing in some settlement-related mods to try and mitigate how annoying that part of the game was. ![]() Oh, and Minuteman Tweaks, just so I could go to whatever location Preston was hanging out at without constantly worrying that I'd run into him. And a low-level version of Rich Merchants, because shuffling around to multiple vendors to have multiple interactions just to sell off stuff isn't interesting enough to do more than a few times. There are a few mods that I used besides those that made it a bit less vanilla and fed into my preferred playstyle : Increased VATS Distance, Critical Hits Outside Of VATS, and Companion Sneak Updated (because what I like is sneaking around and sniping). That's a reasonable baseline for a no-frills vanilla FO4 experience, I think. Oh, and Companion Infinite Ammo, too (because dealing with their inventory that much just felt like pointless busywork). ![]() I played through with the Full Dialogue Interface (because Li of Orchid is 100% right, the base dialogue system is crap), the Unofficial FO4 Patch (to fix all the small things Bethesda never does), and the Achievements mod (because it's a single-player game, so why the fuck not). There are also many, many mods to enhance settlement-building, so if you find you get into that, check out Higher Settlement Budget (if you have a good PC, if you don't, you might not want to increase the settlement budget as it can really slow down or crash your game if you have too many settlement items in too small of an area), Spring Cleaning, Homemaker - Expanded Settlements, and Place Everywhere. From that list, I definitely recommend Armorsmith Extended, True Storms, Legendary Modification (kind of cheaty but I hated hoping to find a Legendary bonus on an item I actually wanted to use), Better Settlers, Unofficial FO4 Patch, Crafting Workbenches, Companion Infinite Ammo, Achievements (if you're like me and you want to get Steam achievements even if you have mods enabled), Wearable Backpacks and Pouches. You can also peruse this list of the Top 100 most endorsed mods from FO4 Nexus. I have strong feelings about it, you see. The base dialog system in the game is crappy, and crap, and no good.
