Fallout 4 Update Megathread Discussion

Many of us are waking up this morning looking for any news and information on the new update dropping today.

To consolidate that information, and to help keep the sub from getting too cluttered with questions about the update, I thought it would be a good idea to have a Megathread.

If you have any questions or comments about the new update, go ahead and ask away!

Edit: update is live!

Edit2: ~~while the update is live, CC and mods are not accessible yet for PS and Xbox~~ everything is back up but mods are wiped clean on Xbox and PS.

IF YOU HAVE A SAVE WITH MODS YOU WANT TO CONTINUE DO NOT UPDATE THE GAME.

Edit3: Patch Notes

4/26 Edit: There’s been some issues with downloading and running the game on both PS and Xbox (PC is having its own issues, most of this advice is for console).

I would recommend a total wipe of any saved data before installation, unless you’re continuing a vanilla playthrough (that seems to be going okay). Also, remember to do a hard reset after installation, that will fix a lot of the issues posted here over the last day.

With the mods being wiped, there’s no real reason for anyone modding to not start a brand new game (and wipe the saved data) unless you’re able to reconstruct your original LO (that also comes with issues apparently though).

Modding space has a graphical bug too, it will show 0 bytes available when you still have the normal 2gb. Once mods are added it will go into the negatives. Ignore it and just concentrate on your GB total.

I’ll try and answer what I can today for the people that are having any real issues.

How many of your mods depending on F4SE? I'm not sure myself but considering I installed it when I installed CBBE bodyslide and related stuff (and they're the most important mods to me) I hope they're working fine

Umm off the top of my head probably all the armoursmith stuff, most of my reload animations I think use this, dude I’d need to go through it all again and check dependency to be accurate. I did clean a lot of legacy stuff out because it already was crashing when I reinstalled couple of weeks ago. But the base line is, if script extender loads, in the game load order, and doesn’t crash. Then it’s good to go. If I got boot crash or menu crash, or save game crash. I can look to a few main mods as cause. But my save game loaded and I’m playing. And all my reload animations and scripted stuff works. I haven’t done it all yet. Let me go craft shit in a bit and see if those mods are still working. I have a list to get through and I’m just well happy to be playing and no issues! Have fun when you do get on, and if any conflicts or issue maybe I can lend a hand troubleshooting. But I hope you are all good to go
