Be warned: Fallout 4's next update may break your mods - and there's a similar one for Skyrim in the works, too
Eurogamer • • technology
Key Points:
- Bethesda announced a new update for Fallout 4 Creations (mods) releasing on August 18, aimed at delivering general improvements.
- Players are advised to back up their save files and manually save their mod load order before installing the patch, as updates often cause mods to break.
- Mod compatibility issues arise because mods are designed for specific game versions, and patches can disrupt their functionality even without direct changes to mod-related features.
- Heavily modded game setups can be particularly vulnerable, as interdependent mods may fail together, potentially affecting save files, hence the backup recommendation.
- Bethesda confirmed a similar Creations update is planned for Skyrim, with details and a release date to be announced soon.
