BLUF: No affiliation with Community Fixes Merged; is inspired by the mod though, hence the name :)

Install only one main file: 
----------------------------------------------------------------

• Community Tweaks Merged (CTM) = FIXES + many tweaks 
• DEUS EX Tweakina (DET) = Beta option; everything CTM has + many more tweaks 
• FIXES Only 
  

Introduction: 
----------------------------------------------------------------

• WHY? -- Streamlines about 75~100+ mod downloads, with less BA2s, loose files and conflicts. 
• All of the mods imported have either open permissions or a direct request was approved. 
• In addition, I've made a decent amount of fixes and tweaks of my own across the board. 
• CTM: Due to the wide scale of tweaks, there are many changes that improve performance. 
• I often update & provide Changelogs for the next rel... Make sure your version is up to date :)
• Due to the nature of this mod, it will NOT be opted into Nexus' donation points system. 
  

Compatibility: 
----------------------------------------------------------------
- This mod does not require UFO4P or Community Fixes Merged and it never will. 
- Forwards/deconflicts UFO4P and Community Fixes Merged (CFM) only when/if necessary. 
    * EXCEPTION: versions that are only available for NextGen, where this mod favors backwards compatibility. 
- Always run this after LIF (Leveled Item Fixes) & NEO (New Equipment Overhaul) for more content. 
- Always run this before PRP / PRP Lite / Boston FPS Fix / Previs mods in your load order. 
- Refactoring and merging was done with many mods to get them to complement each other. 
- Examples of changes to records forwarded from the following to get the 'best' of all: 
    * [FIXES] Armor Clipping Overhaul + Diver Suit Additions + Material Fixes + NEO (headlamps & keywords). 
    * [CTM] Gloomy Glass + my own edits to 'remove' glass on almost all post-war vehicles, for "immersion". 
    * [CTM] Visible Sun Flare by CrunchyBiscuit007 + Lens Flare Visible Rectangle Fix by Alepap. 
- Most lore-friendly aesthetic imports were moved here: REPACK - Lore-Friendly Textures. 
- Script Runner Commands was moved here: Papyrus Script Runner Commands - ESPless. 
- Current necessary patches: 
    * [CTM] Amazing Follower Tweaks Plus Patch - merges in Follower Quest record changes. 
    * [FIXES] See-Through Scopes Patch - a tiny patch for one weapon, the hunting rifle.

FIXES:
----------------------------------------------------------------
As of Version 1.0.10, all armor/clothing modifications are considered fixes... 
FIXES = a light extension to NEO + in line with UFO4P/CFM/Fallout 4 Fixes
Reason: It is far too time-consuming to separate fixes from tweaks... Nor are the 'tweaks' so dramatic that they'll ruin your game's immersion. I will always intend to prioritize fixes over crazy tweaks especially when it comes to the armor records. This is the alternative to making NEO (New Equipment Overhaul) a required master, as many of what NEO does are fixes as well.

• +20 Carry Weight to Brotherhood Fatigues & Postman Uniform by bloodchylde (ESP) 
• All bleed/fire/stagger effects have been fixed. Such as robots/turrets/Vertibirds can't bleed. 
• All vanilla gas masks have been rebalanced with higher resistances and added poison resistance 
• Armor Clipping Overhaul by sakura9 (ESP) - just the vanilla clipping issues - some is also in NEO 
• Automatron Assaultron Helmets Fix by doctrderp (ESP) - also in NEO 
• Diver Suit Additions by robotized (ESP / loose files) - more useful diver suit, with a headlamp! 
• Headlamps, Keywords from New Equipment Overhaul by DankRafft (ESP / loose files) 
• Make Mining Helmets by PaddyGarcia (ESP) + nerfed values of headlamps  
• Upgradeable Army Helmet by Bordraw (ESP / loose files) + dirty army helmet too
• Various Material Fixes by NikoMoldova (ESP / loose files) - clean vault suit fixes - also in NEO 
• Vault 111 Security Armor by CodyTheRat (ESP / BA2) - fixes Vault 81-111 records, auto-equips 
  

All of the other FIXES (75+) as of Version 1.0.12:

       * Credit: Various Game Tweaks by DankRafft (ESP)

- No More Barnacles by Aurelianis -- very buggy nuisance (ESP / loose files)

        * There is an alternative 'patch' for this in the misc files called: "Buggy Bird Fix" 
- No More Halloween Decorations by GoldenS -- clutter/eyesore/nonsense (ESP / BA2 / loose files)

Gameplay edits, which are intended for Immersion / QOL: 
- 6 alt planters (Carrot, Corn, Gourd, Melon, Mutfruit, Tato) - Vilance's Library Plugin by VilanceD (ESP)
- Artillery max range increased by x3 (MinArtilleryRangeMaximum) & x1.5 (MinArtilleryRangeMinimum) 
- Better Combat Medic - Curie Companion Perk by bionicyardiff (ESP / BA2) 
- Give Me That Bottle Rehydrated by SoleVaultBoy -- with some return adjustments (ESP / loose files) 
    * Q: "Why do I get plastic back from dirty/purified water instead of a bottle?" 
    * A: "Because they don't come in a bottle. So enjoy your plastic scrap :)"
- Maximum range and speed of projectiles have been adjusted accordingly to the type of firearm 
    * EX: Shotguns with the lowest, most with mid-range, rifles high, lasers/plasma highest 
- Normalized companion combat stats and most defaults to flanking vs dueling behavior 
- Nuka World Power Hookup by Glitchfinder (ESP / BA2)
- Rechargeable Stealthboys by Ekayne -- with some more changes (ESP / loose files) 
- Versatile Balanced Ballistic Weave by zowrath (ESP) -- some adjustments + MK4 Ballistic/Energy 
- Wasteland Bestiary - Iguanas by StamperDoesMods (ESP / BA2) 
    * Two leather and one adhesive from iguana skin instead of ballistic fiber. Nerd stuff below...
    * Beta-keratin: A type of keratin found in reptile skin; can produce plastics, adhesives, etc
    * Collagen: Reptile skin contains collagen, a protein that can produce plastics, adhesives, etc
    * Chitin: Reptile skin contains chitin, a polysaccharide that can produce plastics, adhesives, etc
- TL;DR -- better aiming, gamepad compatibility, less sprint stutter, smoother mouse sensitivity
    * Merged variant of the Movement Type EditorID record fixes and tweaks from:
    * Congruent Sensitivity by HellFrozenRain -- included all changes (ESP) 
    * Gamepad - Input by Anro19 -- only the INI settings for Gamepads (INI) 
    * RAW INPUT by IceKK -- can optionally install for more sensitivity FOMOD options (ESP) 
    * Smooth First Person Sprint by BourneMcReady -- included all changes (ESP) 

Performance edits: 
[ No, none of this affects precombines / previsibines ] 
- Enhanced Blood - better performance by DRunkCoWBoy (ESP) 
    * Forces a limit on the amount of blood decals and effects that can appear 
- Fog Remover - Performance Enhancer II by Glass1411 (ESP / BA2) 
    * I didn't use the Cell record changes as those edits cause conflicts with other mods 
    * But, I did use record changes such as: Art Object / Moveable Static / Static 
    * Instead, I recommend: No Interior Fog by GELUXRUM; F4SE-based / won't override Cells 
    * I kept animated leaves, steam, and unique smoke effects as those thematically make sense 
    * A verbose explanation of what was removed in detail without touching Worldspace: 
        - all distant object 'clouds' that appear in front of distant landscapes 
        - all distracting fog effects that appear/disappear with camera movement 
        - all fog / mist / smoke effects that appear around water, coastlines, and random Cells/Worldspace 
        - all variations of dirty footstep dust from all creatures of all sizes 
    * NOTE: I did not remove Far Harbor's or Glowing Sea's fog effects, just minor adjustments 
- Glass was removed from cars, with the idea that glass succumbed to various forms of weathering. 
    * Chemical weathering: Glass can react with acidic substances, such as acid rain or pollutants [or radiation], which can cause it to break down and degrade. Mechanical weathering: Glass can be worn away by physical forces like wind, water, or ice. For example, sandblasting or wind erosion can wear down glass surfaces. Thermal stress: Glass can expand and contract with temperature changes, leading to cracks and eventual erosion. This all means glass would eventually break down and turn into tiny pebbles like rocks do over time. 
    * To complement the idea, I recommend this mod: FlaconOil's Complete Retexture Project 
- Many trash meshes in Diamond City were removed along with a huge unrealistic glow effect 
- No Door Animations - Instant Doors by Bunslinger (loose files) 
- Removed dirt/gross/quarry stains and other weird decals/effects via 'Texture Set' records, mesh edits 
    * Credit: Yet Another Cleanup Mod by Aurelianis (ESP / BA2) 
- Removed 'fake' puddles via 'Texture Set' edits -- efficient vs file edits + covers more than most mods 
- Removed 'fake' grass-but-not-grass generated objects including twigs and more via 'Grass' record edits
    * Credits: Various Game Tweaks by DankRafft (ESP) / Yet Another Cleanup Mod by Aurelianis (ESP / BA2) 
- Stop The Fans by 5133p39 -- as stated, stops nonsensical fans with no power (loose files) 
- Tile Rubble Remover by Aurelianis -- clutter/eyesore/nonsense (loose files)

######### DEUS EX TWEAKINA #########
##################################

EVERYTHING from CTM, PLUS: 
----------------------------------------------------------------
Aesthetic edits: 
- Bloom and Depth of Field Image Space values have been greatly reduced, but not eliminated 
- Many Image Space Adapter colors have been adjusted to 255/255/255 to have a transparent effect 
- Motion Blur and Radial Blur Image Space Adapter values set to 0, to almost be eliminated 
- Night Time God Rays by BourneMcReady + some subtle tweaks (ESP) 
- Underwater Image Space set very close to defaults, to preserve realistic water depth 

Gameplay edits:
- Race records have been heavily changed, with many different fixes and tweaks, too many to mention. 

Performance edits: 
- God Rays have been lowered by an average of 1/2 and Night God Rays have been subtly enabled 
- Misc anim tweaks and fixes by akir4 (ESP / BA2) -- a huge mod with many animation adjustments 
    * Likely in DET permanently due to how many potential conflicts it can have with animation mods 
- Removed fog from Lighting Template records, which will conflict with lighting/interior mods 

NextGen NPC edit problem and my temporary solution:
----------------------------------------------------------------
There is an NPC edit problem that Bethesda caused with NextGen. For every NPC record modified by a mod, there is a warning logged, which impacts performance the more NPC records are modified. And so I've provided an optional file, which is an ESL-Flagged ESP with no loose files/BA2 and has no requirements...  
In the meantime the NPC Edits optional file (OldGen only recommended) contains: 
- Curie is C.V.R.I.E. by Cyndercrys (ESP) - robot is C.V.R.I.E. ; synth is Curie ; also forwarded UFO4P changes 
- Durable Relay Synths by Lystraeus (ESP) - spawned relay synths scale with player 
- Minor fixes by Meldonaut (ESP) - sound edits with some additional fixes merged from UFO4P and CFM 
- Named NPC Protection by Valyn81 (ESP) -- merged UFO4P and CFM changes and only necessary NPCs

######### DEUS EX AESTHETIKA #########
####################################

[NOT IMPORTED, but] Highly Recommend:
- Reverb and Ambiance Overhaul - Tweaked;
- LOST Audio Tweaks;
- Fallout 4 Resound Project - Guns;
- Make sure load order is: Reverb --> LOST --> Resound --> DEUS EX Aesthetika last :) 

DEUS EX Aesthetika contains: 
----------------------------------------------------------------
- Another Glowy Fallout Mod - Fusion Cells by crazyocod -- standard colors (loose files) 
- Custom Combat Music Fix by ColonelMagnum (ESP) -- if you have custom combat music (which I do)
- Enhanced Night Sky - Visible Galaxy by apinanaivot/QueenMaeve99/songbored (loose files) 
- Healthier Brahmins by uruchat (loose files) -- there's actually a reason behind this decision:
    * Brahmin in the Fallout TV show look like normal cows, with two heads being the one exception. 
- HD Moon with Phases by DOOMBASED -- 25/75 secunda smaller moon (ESP / loose files) 
    * In case you have complaints about why the moon is so big... 
    * Some nerd stuff about if the moon wasn't affected by modern light pollution: In areas with minimal light pollution, the moon’s brightness and proximity can be more accurately perceived. In such areas, the moon’s glow is even more directional than light pollution, and its impact is greatly reduced when it’s near the horizon. This can make the moon appear closer and more vivid.
- Lasery Laser Weapon Sounds by Bunslinger (loose files) 
- Louder Waves by Zorkaz (ESP) -- now you feel like you're actually near the ocean... 
- mdkd's Deliverer firing sfx by mdkd99 (loose files) -- quieter Deliverer suppressor sounds 
- Power Armor Intercom Voice by Bunslinger (ESP) -- alt sound filter for power armor actors

- Starlight Working Shutters by Aurelianis -- neat functional shutters (ESP / BA2) 
- World Radio Reverb increased by 3x via Sound Output Model (SOMMonoWorldRadio_01600)
