One of the things I do for "fun"? is develop mods for Fallout 4. For those of you that don't know, mods allow you to modify virtually every aspect of the game. It even has its own scripting engine for adding your own effects and quests and such to the game.

Well, you pretty much have to use their development tool + the game itself to develop and test a mod. Luckily I can at least use VS Code for the scripting part.

The problem is their tool, "The Creation Kit" is just laborious to use even if you hack it with executable injection to fix the numerous issues with it, and having to use the game to test makes turnaround time pretty lengthy.

They claim they developed the whole game with this tool, but it's very difficult to believe given how much effort it takes to create even a little bit of content. You can't type most of it. You have to click your way through endless forms in an app that looks like an old VB app for editing database records.

If it wasn't so much effort I'd make a language for these records so you could type them out. I kinda wonder if the devs at Bethesda don't have something like that up their sleeve. I just can't imagine putting in that much content, that slowly with that tool.
Real programmers use butterflies

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
