    This video was absolutely awesome. I am replaying the game but on PC for first time, so I am used to the Mods screen on the Fallout game itself from past console playthroughs... Im not greatttt with navigating computer files so this really helped. Thank you, you were very thorough and easy to understand!

    for reference for anyone curious - the mods at 7:34 without a link are not mods, alot of mods require assets and textures n stuff from the DLCs from the game, and thats what those are, theyre DLCs for the game, so if anyone wants to mod fallout 4 i highly suggest buying the game of the year edition

    I tried to mod the game, had two spazms, passed out, got back up, and gave up. Im sure its easy if you know what your doing, and I dont doubt this guy, but having to install not only Vortex and Extender, but then have to install a ZIP file opener, for me It opened as a Gimp file, and Vortex couldnt mount mods to Fallout... its just so confusing. Maybe im just dumb. Good tutoiral though, im just not cut-out to mod... nor confident enough coz I might break my game or something.

    From Nexus Mods: 11 April 2024, 7:04PM The 2024-04-25 Fallout 4 update (1.10.980 and later) has broken F4SE and the rest of the native code modding scene similarly to Skyrim's "Anniversary Edition" patch. I am working on an update and cannot currently offer a timeline for its availability, nor whether there will be any critical technical issues that would block an update. If not obvious already, this one is going to take much longer than normal. Do not email with questions. Thank you for all of the support! I assume people would rather have me working on the update than making individual responses, but in general thanks for the nice words and support. 2024-04-27: The first step of the update process is done, doing a first pass at updating all of the addresses for the new version of the game. Another long step begins now, validating the addresses and seeing if there were any structure layout changes. This would not benefit from external testing.

    What a classic Bethesda move. The game was boring to me the first time I played it and haven't played since. The show came out and I loved it so much it reignited my urge to play fallout again but I thought I should add mods this time for a more personal experience. Bethesda updates for no reason and it breaks just about everything. *sigh* Thanks for working on your mod and i'm excited to jump into the modded world of fallout to see what I may have been missing all theses years. Truly appreciate your hard work!

This saves a lot of work, and you can just jump right into adding guns and new quests. Give the modders some time, you got to wait for these guys to move back into Fallout, a game they probably haven't worked with in years.

    For now turning off Auto-updates for Fallout 4 on Steam should fix the issue should one arise - but it should (hopefully) only be a week or two until most mods are back and running. In the case everything does break... I guess I'll need to remake this if things change - but odds are once everything blows over and mods are updated to work with the latest version the steps in this guide should mostly be the same.

    F4SE is the main mod that will break with the update. Most likely this should be fixed (hopefully) in a week or two. Installing the game now and pausing, or downloading an earlier version in the future is the best temporary fix. After the update is released, F4SE and a lot of mods would need an update to be compatible, and from then this guide should continue to be relevant. It's good that we're finally getting a Fallout 4 update, but it's also worrying that things will break for a short while.
