There are already plenty of nvde mods. I'm using CBBE and Body Slide. The nudity aspect wasn't my intended reason for getting them in the first place, but it was a nice bonus.

TBH, I couldn't care less about the toilet problem. I have no need for that level of realism in game. That said, (and yes, I'm sure Beth would never implement such a feature) the showering aspect could be handled in such a manner similar to six in New Vegas was with Red Lucy. You don't actually have to show the action in order to get the point across.

This thread is pretty good evidence as to why not...

And don't forget the toilet!

Well is not totally realism, but give a chance to think more about our travels, take care much better the healt of our Sole Survivor.

Like the moment you describe. You don't know how many times you can travel and ignore your "needs" in harcore mode. Until you get the "effects" in moments like this.

And that's another thing would be funny to hear. Not sure what would be say Strong or even the same Valentine

Hey, it's a player choise wearing the outfits for this interactions. At the least, if we are really, but really lazy, can be just like a regular "six interaction" the screen goes black and we see the Vault Boy animations where confirms our need is satisfied.

I guess on console this option woudn't be available. But hey, if they increase the chance to find more swim suits, will be funny make a shower sometimes. Or swim on a pool.

That's a good point. But well, who knows? Maybe Beth is working for many other kind of animations we never expect before. I guess we have to wait the next upcoming patch.

I guess why we can't have better schemes, or special magazines for our bath items. You know if we want built even a giant luxurious bath. Or an high tech toilet.

Like the institute or even from the Vault ones. Just find the correct magazines,

I guess why there isn't one about "Life and safe inside a Vault"?

Oh dear! I laughed until I had tears!

Seriously, I am not sure how I feel about the whole issue. While it would definitely add realism, the reason I play video games is to escape realism ...

Never heard about "hardcoe mode"?

There was a toilet needs mod for Oblivion. The thing is, I want to focus more on clearing out dungeons than worrying that my character would relieve herself. So I uninstalled that.

Food, drink and sleep are fine.

Pooping is not.

As i said before, this thing of the bathroom could be implemented for the "hardcoe mode", and for the people that wants an increase of difficult, if they want to survive in the wasteland. And if you are tired of this, of course the "normal mode" would "remove" this kind of effects, and let you play as Fallout 4 is setted.

Only if I can turn off the pooping and keep the eating, sleeping and drinking.

Same here. I don't need games to reflect every part of life to be immersive. Eating, sleeping, and drinking are fine. But using the bathroom is just a step too far for me.

The things is...I am totally looking forward to the soon to be coming hardcoe mode, but I wouldn't want it to include needing to use the bathroom. Eating/drinking/sleeping serve direct functions in the game already. They replenish health, heal injuries, provide stat boosts (or cuts), and already serve a purpose. I just don't need a level of immersion that requires actually going to the bathroom. If anything, make that aspect optional.

Really though, I'm sure there will be a mod for this at some point. There are already mods that let you build the Institute showers and toilets (the Institute build set in the Homemaker mod), and I'm sure you're not alone in wanting this. Someone will make a mod. But I don't think the majority of the people would be interested in something like this, so I wouldn't count on getting it directly from Bethesda.

Yes, I have played New Vegas hardcoe mode but there were no bathroom needs. While I like the idea of needing to eat, drink and sleep, I am not sure about the other. I'm afraid it might be too much like playing The Sims, although I could see something like the need to shower affecting your Charisma.

Sorry to say this, but this is just a terrible and stupid idea. You don't want chores in your game, you want to have fun. Are you having run in real life when you go to the bathroom? The sleep, eat and drink portion of hardcoe mode i understand, because it just plays on elements that are already in the game. Like rested bonus from sleeping, healing from water and eating etc. I can't believe this is even a topic, but it is the Internet so i shouldn't be shocked.

Why can we not use the bathroom in Fallout 4?

Because TMI..

-edit-

My character takes a bath, uses the bathroom.. whatever.. when I am not around.

Using a toilet and taking a shower? I'd like that.

But imho those things would only really work if the required plumbing (separate for clean and sewage) could be built as well. That could work like how the power lines work in a radius for lights, or with actual direct connections.

I mean. If you drop a neat looking usable toilet without taking care of the sewage, after a few uses you're better off taking a dump in the bushes. Hygiene et all.

Having fun sometimes is good, but also having a good challenge. So what? You want an easy games just because you want easy stuff for lazyness?

Of course normal mode woudn't be like play the harcore mode, because they want play easy, and could be used by the people who want an extra challenge.

How is using the restroom challenging?

No I do not think they "forgot." I think it was a deliberate omission because TMI.

You want to play the sims in fallout. go for it!! Good luck..

For me.. Just no.

Oh yes and what are you wiping with? A rotten leaf?

ugh

Yes, it is more realistic. I'm not arguing that point. My point is that it's a level of realism that I don't need or want. For me personally, this is not going to help me get more immersed in the game. It'd be a tedious and annoying task. Eating and drinking are already game mechanics. They replenish health, reduce radiation, provide stat buffs and so on. Now it would just be mandatory that we do these things. Sleeping is already a game mechanic...now it would just be mandatory. Exploring the wasteland and suddenly needing to take a dump? No thanks. I absolutely do not want that in the game, and nothing that you can possibly say is going to convince me otherwise.

As i said before. Basically will be like a six interaction. You see only a black screen, then a Vault Boy animation will appear. Which confirms the success with that particular interaction. the animation of our pg is not necessary.

Not immersive? At the least we could use in a better way our settlements. And not use them only for farming objects for our crafting and caps. hardcoe mode is thinked for this. Take care of ourself, and at the same time be more carefull when we explore the wasteland, and the "natural" and artificial dangers inside the world of Fallout 4.

In hardcoe mode you have ALWAYS to eat, drink and sleep and if you can't controll them, the penality is the death of your character. Adding hygene and W.C. is just another stat to take under controll. This is for the people that wants an increase of difficult for this game. This is for people who want to increase the difficulty and challenge. And not only for the damage and HP bar of the enemies eh.

I haven't yet understood why we can 'use' the toilet flushing covers. We just dislocate them from their place and nothing happens or am I missing something?

What is it with people and scatatology?

i always thought the same thing... gosh my characters gonna have something wrong!

Because the animators, programmers, designers at bethesda didn't' want to animate, code, balance taking a dump. I don't blame them.
