In this entire article, not even a single attempt to quantity the number of complaints.
This sounds to me like an extremely small minority. It appears as though Fallout 4 has sold over 25 million copies, and there’s… Maybe a couple dozen people on the Internet complaining?
My “nExT gEn” update experience:
- Get baited to re-play Fallout 4 through the new TV show + Next Gen update
- Be disappointed since the graphics aged like milk + Official HD texture DLC sucks
- Be disappointed since the update broke nearly all mod support
- Roll back to the release before the Next Gen update + Uninstall the Official HD texture DLC
- Install 205 mods, and happily play with nearly everything in 4K
FYI, most mods I installed are from:
- The Midnight Ride:

I mean, I get it, I do, I love modding… But can’t they just not upgrade or even downpatch?
It’s not that they can’t, it’s that people are getting blindsided by updates to a game which supposedly hasn’t received updates for over half a decade, and downgrading on Steam is a surprisingly huge PITA. The Midnight Ride recommends patching, fwiw.
How can you even downgrade on steam?
you download the corresponding depots using the console / steamcmd. Here’s the process using the console.
Skyrim Fans:
Console skyrim mod enjoyers are weeping having to re-download 75 mods because Todd liked the word Creations more.
So, they’re giving it the Skyrim treatment. I think it’s received about 10 version updates since AE launched like 2 years ago. I ended up downloading a modlist that was 1.5.97 (the original version of Skyrim SE) and ended up sticking with it since it’s future proofed.
1.6 mods are also stable now, but of course Bethesda shits out the patches every now and then so you need to downgrade anyway, just to 1.6.
This is starting to feel like their way of blocking Fallout London from releasing indefinitely.
bethesda has historically hated mods and the people who make them. its why their games have such a small modding scene
Well the updates to Skyrim, Fallout and lack of modding tools for Starfield seems to indicate that it is now a reality. I seriously cannot fathom why they would sabotage themselves like that. It’s absolutely obvious since at least Oblivion that mods are lifeline and reason for success of Bethesda rpg games yet here we are.
My gut feeling is that the procedural generation thing in Startfield somehow absorbs some people’s need for mods.
No, not really. After Starfield released mod scene EXPLODED capital letters, there were hundred new mods every day. However, without proper tools 95% of those mods are very simple reskins and modders got burned out and bored on this fast. Now we are 8 months after release with still no tools and that enthusiasm is largely gone. Part of it will still be back, but the best moment to establish a vibrant mod community has passed.
