The site's staff is working on it, and you can still access mods without too much trouble.

    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

      Back in the day I used Mod Organizer + F4SE so I could avoid the official launcher and all the bs that came with it.

        Nowadays you can pick a collection and install a hundred mods without having to worry about compatibility, someone else already figured it out! I think that’s worth using vortex

          Wabbajack is even better! If you’re playing Skyrim, Nolvus is amazing and has its own installer, even installs an enb for you, you can choose between 4 or 5 of them
