abandoned and remnants

Author's words:

DLC sized mission mod. 2nd runner up in April 2017 Mod. 20 hours of gameplay, new factions, locations, player bases and fully voiced custom companions.

Optional extensions and add-ons

The following quest mods are optional, but they are written by the same co-author as Outcasts and Remnants, and when combined with OAR, will give you over 20 fully-voiced companions, 60+ hours of comprehensive quest content, and a completely alternate path through the original main quest if you so choose.

Project Valkyrie (August 2018 Monthly Mod)

Fallen (August 2019 Monthly Mod)

Fusion City Rising (September 2016 Monthly Mod)

Dr. Nick's 50 Ways to Die (August 2017 Monthly Mod Runner-up)

There is a detailed game guide that explains how these mods interact with each other as well as the vanilla main quest.

Required files and installation:

Just a legal copy of the base game. No DLC or other mods required. Please use the mod manager to install.

Outcasts & Remnants uses licensed assets from other modules. When installing, you may receive a message asking whether you want to overwrite existing files. It doesn’t matter how you answer, but the easiest way is to say “no to everyone” or “yes to everyone.” If you have previously customized some of the clothing used in the mod, please answer a definite "No" if you want to keep your customizations. To find out which mod a specific item comes from, see the credits below.

This mod is a companion to Fusion City Rising, Project Valkyrie, and Depravity. The stories of these mods are all parallel. You can play any mod first, or all mods at the same time, but you don't need FCR, PV, or Depravity to enjoy OAR. The playthrough guide has more details.

When downloading files, do not use the "Download Vortex" button on the main mod page. Also do not use the "Mod Manager Download" button on the file download page. It doesn't always work properly. Instead, navigate to the file page and select the "Manual Download" button. Once downloaded, import the file from your desktop into the Mod Manager and activate it. This mod will not work unless activated.

If you are having trouble installing your Mod Manager, please see here. If you are using Vortex and get a message about "Unresolved file conflicts" when installing Fusion City Rising and Outcasts & Remnants, check out the second paragraph of this section and select Outcasts & Remnants to load lower in the load order, although technically this doesn't matter. This is just a small installation complexity introduced by Vortex that requires you to click a few extra buttons. Users who prefer bloatware and/or bundles will also enjoy:

For most mods to work properly under normal circumstances, you will also need to enable Loose Files. If you want to take your modding experience to the next level, install Mod Organizer 2 (available for Skyrim SE and Fallout 4).

Mod function

New missions, locations, factions and companions. All fully voiced. The time to complete the main storyline and side missions is approximately 20 hours, but many missions can be repeated to new locations if you want more. If you run FCR, OAR, PV, and Depravity at the same time, you'll need about 60 hours of combined content if you do everything at once.

Quest details, troubleshooting, and playback videos are available here.

How to get started

To begin the mod's main story, head to the B.O.G. Bunker, which is built on a hill south of Oberland Station, east of the railroad tracks, and southwest of the alien crash site. Head there and talk to Chuck Finley. Once you've discovered the B.O.G. Bunker, you can quickly travel back and forth inside.

For immersion and gameplay difficulty purposes, you should first complete Fallout 4's main mission "Reunions", where you face off against Kellogg at Fort Haggen, after which the first mission in this mod "Initiation" should start automatically the next time you change locations.
