Nexus Mods Aids Fallout 4 Players Concerned about Next-Gen Update

In the latest update concerning Fallout 4's upcoming next-gen updates, PC players can breathe a sigh of relief as Nexus Mods introduces new tags to assist mod users through the transition. The next-gen update is scheduled to drop on April 25 and promises several enhancements and free content. However, updates often disrupt the functionality of mods, particularly those that rely on Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE), which will likely be incompatible at launch. Nexus Mods community manager Pickysaurus details the proactive steps the site is taking to help modders identify which mods are compatible with the next-gen update through new tags such as "Works with Next-Gen Update" or "Broken in Next-Gen Update." Prospects for F4SE support for the Epic Games store version remain uncertain. Advanced mods may require separate updates, and even traditional mods created with the Creation Kit might need tweaks. While some inconvenience and waiting for updates are inevitable, Nexus Mods is striving to make the process less confusing and more manageable for players. Additionally, a guide is provided for those who wish to prevent Fallout 4 from auto-updating while awaiting mod fixes, allowing them to continue playing with the current mod setup. For players seeking new mod experiences right now, recommendations include a mod that adds Lucy Mcclane's tranquiliser pistol and another for Walton Goggins fans.

To prevent Fallout 4 from auto-updating, you can follow specific steps outlined in a guide provided by Nexus Mods. This allows you to keep playing with your current mod setup without the next-gen update's changes until mod authors have had the chance to make necessary updates.

Fallout 4, developed by Bethesda Game Studios, is an open-world RPG set in a post-apocalyptic world. Since its release in 2015, it has been praised for its expansive world and deep customization options. It enjoys a large modding community that continuously enhances and alters the game through the integration of new features, tweaks, and content. The anticipation surrounding the next-gen update comes from both the continued support from Bethesda and the acknowledgment of the game's enduring popularity, evidenced by the stimulating effect of the Amazon Fallout TV show on the gaming community.
