    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.

        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.

      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.
