Next gen update mandatory?

[Redarmy]

i am aware that the update will mess with the EXE and therefore FO4 script extender thereby nullifying 99% of mods...so i havent bothered to reinstall this game(who would???)

I want to start a playthrough ultra modded but there isnt any point until the update drops and script extender team update AND all mods i want have their authors update their mods..

is this about right? or is the next gen update a different game/download like skyrim was?

i just wish game devs would ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ leave their games alone and stop breaking mods a DECADE after the community has poured so much work into it.

Save your fallout.exe now. After the update, rename the fallout.exe in something like fallout.new and bring back the saved .exe in the install folder. You can now play the game with all your mods while they update F4SE.
PS: There is also this mod that do it automatically: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/26956

nice

They already started delaying it. You will get a working version of starfield and fallout 76 before you get a fallout 4 remake. Should be ready in 2 more weeks......

honestly fo4 is the one game they really should not touch imo

bethesda should just keep jerking around skyrim and keep fallout 4 by itself

No argument there. Everything is already 4k or better with everything you could ever want. They should just debug the engine to stop script chug\render distance hiccups and perfection. Its perfect even with the bugs. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3148366781

I play with no mods, but I am worried that the hours I put into my game will suddenly be lost if they corrupt the saves.

Pretty much any time they've done a big revamp type thing like this, the old version is still playable for those that own it. Just like when Skyrim had the SE update, it was launched as a separate install for those that had Oldrim.

I think a fool proof method is turning off auto updates, and then set steam to launch with startup programs if you're using f4se. If you run f4se loader without having steam already running it will open fallout 4 via steam.

If that happens to me I'll probably scream out loud and rip the power cable out the wall.

I'm just stating what they did in the past. You can look for yourself that when Skyrim SE came out, it was a separate install than Oldrim, just as I stated.

Maybe if we buy Starfield, Bethesda will agree to leaving Fallout 4 alone.

Eh, I'm kinda glad they're still doing stuff to their older games. It's not terribly hard to keep an older version of the game and mods preserved so I'm not too worried about that.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind official revamps/updates for FO3 and NV (assuming they'd be willing to do that one) that bring them some mechanics from FO4 like the way power armor and armor layering works.

Stockholm Syndrome much?? Never make a deal with the devil. Stay strong, Xenon!

They won't. Besides, for the Next Gen update I would start a new game anyway.

And it's coming guys. :)

Well, I can't say I'm pleased with the Silver Shroud bugs. If you list the stages of the quest using the console, they're entirely jumbled up and out of sequence. And it's never, ever worked properly for me across three systems and two Windows versions, including my very first totally vanilla in all regards playthrough.

If they're going to fix anything, that quest needs a real tuneup.

They did a big update for Fallout 3 in like October of '22 and it didn't do anything really except destroy everyone's mods. It was December before a really cool modder uploaded a rollback fix on Nexus. I hear rumors that they're fixing to "patch" New Vegas like that very soon.

Not really the type of update I'm talking about in my post:
