Unfortunately with the upcoming FO4 patch in a few days, a lot of those mods are gonna be broken for a few weeks/months. Bad timing by Bethesda on that front.
The show caused me to finally buy FO4, and so I immediately hopped onto Nexus and downloaded the highest-rated mod collection for the game. It has over 700 mods, so something tells me I won't actually be playing much of the game for a while yet. (I wouldn't deign to play a modern Bethesda game without mods.)
Isn't there a way to disable automatic updates?
There is.... But let me tell you... I've had to restore my backups several times. Occasionally steam just will update it... It drives me nuts
Can't you start the game from the copy? You might have to manually set the Steam app ID, but that should be the easier way.
i cloud game and luckily there's back ups. but i boot the cloud, boot moonlight and click skse64... about 1.5 months skyrim will update. and its a pita. steam just be like that. it's honestly why i havent tried fo4 lately. i wanna bad.
What i did with Skyrim was setting the update option in steam to only update when i launch the game. But then only launch the game with the script extender.
Back in the day I used Mod Organizer + F4SE so I could avoid the official launcher and all the bs that came with it.
Nowadays you can pick a collection and install a hundred mods without having to worry about compatibility, someone else already figured it out! I think that’s worth using vortex
Wabbajack is even better! If you're playing Skyrim, Nolvus is amazing and has its own installer, even installs an enb for you, you can choose between 4 or 5 of them
Wabbajack is how I always dreamed it would be
You're gonna have to watch that mod count. I had to axe a bunch of my mods because the game kept crashing every few minutes due to scripts and visual stuff
That's what I thought when I saw the number of mods in that pack, but after a bit of tweaking (a few mods that cause crashing in Linux) it's been quite stable. I'm only about 10 hours in though.
Just use wabbajack or a nexus collection. Takes out all the guess work
Aight I won't mod my game for a while, thanks for the info yall.
I was about to install and play, but now I'm waiting. I have ancient mods that still work, but I can live without them. I'm mostly concerned with newer mods, which generally have active support from the authors.
