This mod adds hot air balloons to Fallout 4's Build Mode.
How to use:
First go to the Chemistry Station and make a few hot air balloon weights (this will allow you to stop/move/land the balloon).
Then make a hot air balloon, available in Build mode in Furniture > Miscellaneous.
To ride a hot air balloon, simply jump into the basket of the balloon. You then have to shoot the yellow balloon above you a few times to get the hot air balloon to move. The balloon should then begin to move steadily upward.
Notice:
Because of the way Fallout 4's physics interact with the player, you have to keep jumping as the balloon moves upwards or you'll fall through the floor. Sadly, as far as I know, this is only a limitation of Fallout 4's implementation of havoc.
How to stop balloons:
To stop a balloon, simply go to your trash tab and drop the hot air balloon weight you crafted at the Chemistry Station (other physical items of the same weight should do the trick as well). This should then push the balloon down just enough to stop it from moving upward and stabilize it.
How to move a balloon:
Moving the balloon horizontally can actually be a bit tricky, I found that picking up the weight of the balloon and gently pushing it against the side of the balloon basket by walking into it moved the balloon slightly. However, this does cause you to lose some height. Although using this method does move you a bit.
How to land a balloon:
To land a balloon, simply place two weights into the basket.
How to find NPCs in balloons:
There are two versions of hot air balloons. One for you and one for the NPC (this is because NPCs are heavier). To place NPCs in a hot air balloon, simply create the balloon's basket around them. (To do this, it is recommended to use Mod Place Everywhere).
Notice:
I recommend saving before you start releasing the balloons because once they are in the air they are very difficult to get back down.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
