Battle of Fallen Skybridge – South Central Boston

Battle of Fallen Skybridge – South Central Boston

What this mod does

This will spawn a large battle across South Central Boston in the area surrounding Fallen Skybridge. The borders of the battle are Goodneighbor to the north, Mass Bay Medical to the south, Swan’s pond and Combat Zone to the west, and Harbormaster Hotel/waterfront to the east.

The NPC’s generated are leveled, so the mod should be beatable provided you’re above level 10. Enemies include Super Mutants,Raiders, Gunners, and Feral Ghouls.

There are 2 batch files included in the download. Install both in your main game folder and you can choose in-game which to run:

1) Skybridge.txt:“bat Skybridge” console command spawns over 230 enemies at dozens of spawn points.

2) SkybridgeLight.txt:“bat SkybridgeLight”console command spawns about half as many enemies.

Warning: This mod is meant to be tough. Due to the number of NPC’s generated it will affect your frame rate during the battle. Unless you have a good rig you might want to start with “bat SkybridgeLight”and make sure the performance is acceptable to you before trying “bat Skybridge”.

FAQ

Q: How to install?
A: Download manually. Place both .txt files into your game folder where Fallout4.exe is located (not your data folder). For people using Steam the folder is usually ProgramFiles (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4.

Q: How to uninstall?
A: Remove both text files from your game folder.

Q: Where is Fallen Skybridge?
A: On top of the freeway just south of Goodneighbor, north of Mass Bay Medical, and next to the Hub360 skyscraper. The game has a map marker for Fallen Skybridge. Alternatively here is a video showing how to reach Fallen Skybridge from the ground.

Q: How to generate the enemies?
A: You can start the mod from any place within the borders of the battle, but Fallen Skybridge is a good central location. Open the console using the ~ key, and type “bat Skybridge” without the quotes, then hit enter and exit the console.

If you want half as many enemies to spawn instead, type “bat SkybridgeLight”.

Save your game before you generate the enemies. The odds of dying are high.

Q: How is this different than using player.placeatme console command?
A: The“player.placeatme” command places all the enemies right in front of you. This mod strategically places the enemies at dozens of spawn points around south central Boston to make the battle more interesting, last longer, and reduce the probability of getting killed right away. It also generates the enemies with one command rather than fifty.

Q: Does this mod require any other mods?
A: No. But some other mods are likely to add to your enjoyment of this mod. See Recommended Mods list below. This mod spawns lots of enemies on rooftops so it is more fun if you use power armor with a jet pack or a jet pack mod.

Q: How long does the battle last?
A: Depends on your weapons, number of companions, etc. Typically 15-20 minutes to wipe out all the enemies. The enemies are spread out so there might be periods of 30-60 seconds when you aren’t fighting.

Q: Can you make this mod for other areas or settlements as well?
A: I’m open to suggestions. Already made battles for some other areas. See “My Battle Mods”below.

Q: Will this corrupt or crash my game?
A: There is no .esp file with this, just .txt files that place enemies in the world space, so it won’t corrupt your game. However the game engine has a limit to how much stuff can be going on at once, and the quality of your rig also matters. If the regular “bat Skybridge” command is causing problems, try the “bat SkybridgeLight” command. Don’t enter the console commands until you are at or near Fallen Skybridge, or you may find lots of corpses in unexpected places around the area.

Recommended mods (none of these are required):

Settlement Raiding Mod: This lets you generate Raiders, Gunners, Brotherhood of Steel, etc. to attack your settlements. I highly recommend SRM because it features corpse cleanup so bodies disappear quicker, which will help your performance/FPS if you replay large battles repeatedly in succession. Also, if you like this mod, chances are you’ll love SRM.

Personal Jetpack, or any mod that adds a jet pack. If you get surrounded by too many enemies, sometimes the only way to avoid dying is to fly out.

Unlimited Followers, or any mod that lets you have more than one companion.

Awesome Armor Effects, or any mod that lets you auto-inject stimpaks, because sometimes you forget until it’s too late.
