Is it ready yet to mod fallout4 since next gen?

[sophiextime]

Hi.

 

I havent played this in a looooong time but wanted to come back since its been updated. However i rather wait until its stable and seems to run all the fun adult mods. Can anyone give an idea if its now ready or close from experience or a guesstimate of a good time to return to it? i dont want to waste a whole day modding this up only to be told " You wont get this to adult mod work yet for at least another 6 months or longer. dont bother trying yet" LOL.

 

I have even seen people saying MCM doesnt work yet but curious if thats true.

CBBE isn't even updated yet, so, no, in my opinion.

Personally speaking, I've not allowed any updates this year...the risk/reward ratio simply isn't worth it to me at this point. I'm running 450+ mods, they all work great and I'm not prepared to wreck that for a bit of extra content.

 

If I was you, I would disable updates and stick with the older build that you know all your adult/spicy mods work on.` I also have a feeling that a lot of modders are getting sick of updating stuff or have left the scene altogether, so a lot of stuff will never work with the new build anyway.

I have a mod build that is like six months old and I haven't updated my game yet. My mods are functioning well, but I'm wondering what would happen if I download new/updated mods that are compatible with new patch? Could it cause issues or even break my game?

From what i read if it was made with the "next gen" creation kit then it would be incompatible with previous F04 so wouldn't work

That's mostly correct - BA2 archives saved in the updated Creation Kit use different forms that are not compatible with old-gen Fallout 4.

 

However, I did find a tool on Nexus HERE that let me convert an archive from a new mod to work with my old game.  I was also then able to unpack the archive to loose files after using the converter.

Short answer: Yes.

 

Long Answer: Look at the short answer.

There's also this, which just lets the game actually be able to read the new ba2 archives, without having to update fallout 4 itself.

Currently: NO

 

Honestly, with way over 300 working mods I will wait for say  another 6 months to see what the modding scene will come up with, and depending on that I will consider updating.

To be on the safe side I think I will keep my old working installation separately and do the update on a fresh installation, without any remnants of previous mods.

 

Having said that, should Fallout London be released earlier, I guess I will  have to update earlier.

So my next question is how easy is it to revert to a pre - next gen version of Fallout4? i can do that on Steam?

Meine nächste Frage ist also, wie einfach es ist, zu einer Vor-Next-Gen-Version von Fallout4 zurückzukehren? Kann ich das auf Steam machen?

 

Nexus has the necessary tools - they are the most downloaded ones for Fallout 4

Tried the downgrade.... didn't work....Probably something i'm not comprehending... but am done until the next gen bs is blown way over. honestly fall out 4 is too old to be putting out updates like the one they did...

It's really bizarre.... It's like they noticed fallout 4 was becoming popular again after the TV show and decided to try and kill it again. Like... why? Just leave it alone. The game is 8 years old now.... Just leave it alone and let the modders do their thing.
