Gunner vs Minutemen Previs Timestamp Patch
by oddlittleturtle
OVERVIEW
Previsualized data was updated for the Vault-Tec DLC at Hyde Park, yet the Gunner vs Minutemen Creation Club did not update that timestamp after adding the new objects.
All this mod does is update the previsualized data and precombined geometry timestamps on two cells to take into account Vault-Tec’s previs timestamp update while using Gunners vs Minutemen. Does nothing else. Just a cell edit patch in an effort to negate any visual or precombined weirdness while running both official addons.
REQUIREMENTS
Season Pass/GoTY
Creation Club Content - Gunners vs Minutemen
NOTES
Mod is complete and offered as-is.
Precombines and Previs are part of Fallout 4’s optimization system. Ideally, this should turn the optimization system back on in the two affected cells in the event those cells have been turned off by Gunners vs Minutemen. You can read more information about Precombines, Previs, and Load Order here: to.oddsmods.xyz/Sn4Wj2
May not work with all load orders. Test it against a throwaway test character with your full load order and travel down to Hyde Park. If it does not appear to be working with the mods you’ve chosen to play with, there isn’t anything I can do. Remove mod, delete the test save, clear your cache, and move on. Not for you.
You do not need this if you do not have the Gunner vs Minutemen CC addon. Any mods that affect the area should have already updated their previs and precombined geometry timestamps for Vault-Tec unless they only built them against the base game or opted not to build them to avoid compatibility issues.
This was created because I saw a potential issue with the previs while I was testing a few mods and wanted to fix it so I could actually finish up testing. It may not be useful to anyone, but it works with my load order, and I thought I would share it. Do not use it if 1) it scares you, or 2) it doesn’t work with your load order. Conflicts are unfun.
Please note that our version of the Creation Kit also updates the timestamps for precombined geometry when updating the previs timestamp while the dev version probably doesn’t or didn’t at the time of Vault-Tec’s release. (See gallery for a visual of what I mean.)
Doesn’t touch Quincy (obviously).
I do not support the removal mods in the middle of a playthrough, regardless of what they are. If you do not like it after installing, go back to the point prior to installation after removing so no cell edit remnants remain on the save. Clear your cache after save deletion.
PS4 version is available but I do not have a PS4 to test. Should work the same on both platforms.
LOAD ORDER
Where this falls depends on the other world mods in your load order. Some weapon and armor mods add to the world so check the descriptions.
Suggested placement is below Scrapping mods. It may be best to place it at the bottom to override accidental previs disruption at the two cells.

COMPATIBILITY
Will override the previs and precombined timestamp for any mods that affect HydeParkExt02 and HydeParkExt07. This mod may not work for your load order if you have other mods that have their own timestamps. Read their descriptions or ask the authors of those mods. I have everything an MA needs to know about what this mod does posted in the Gallery.
Was not built against Beantown or any other mods, so I do not know if their edits will no longer work with this mod enabled. Test it on a throwaway character before committing to your main save.
