How to avoid the CC update breaking your mods.
Vytvořil: Tanya Sapien
For those worried about your mod list getting broken again with this new shovel-full of creation club content, or worried about mods that devs have long ago walked away from becoming permanently broken, I have the cure!

Well...I have a palliative.

First: Right click on game > manage > updates. Set it to only update when you play it. This will prevent it auto-applying the update when it goes live.

Then: Click "Games" at the top of your client, then use the "add a non-steam game to my library" function.

Use the "browse" button, find the game's install location, then pick the Fallout4 executable. If you're running Script Extender, it might be f4se_launcher or something like that.

A new entry should show up in your Steam library. Moving forward, launch the game using that instead of the normal game button. This will prevent updates while still allowing steam overlay to function.

Just be careful never to launch the game using the original button and you should be fine assuming your install never borks out or something funky happens with the steam validation in the distant future.




Section for those who want to point out the stability improvements in the update: This guide is for modders. Those modders long ago installed patches that did the exact same thing as the QoL contents of this update, so the update does nothing to help, it only breaks things for them. If you play vanilla, kindly move along, this guide isn't for you.

Definitely broke my game. I wasn't paying attention and didn't know this"update" was coming. Alot of my Nexus mods still work but I'm left without a Pipboy because I was using the Pippad mod. I still have a HUD while wearing armour but I don't usually wear that.

Hey, Cpunk, before I say anything else, here, have this:

I'd like you to point to me where on that image it says "disable updates"

This isn't an option for some people, just like copying and pasting an entire, heavily modded directory that can potentially crest over 100GB isn't an option for people who might have limited drive space.

This, as I clearly stated in the guide itself, is a band-aid solution, an interim fix.

You're not being clever or cool, you're just being annoying. Nobody is impressed, and nobody's day was improved. Your father and I are very disappointed in you.

What kind of broken solution is that? You make a copy of the entire game before you update anything like this and if it's a fail you just re-copy your old game back to the same location. You can disable the update completely for this game in Steam by editing the settings and that's that.

Well broke mods have happened before, we lived through it then we will live through it now. It is just a sit back and wait and play through unmodded until new or updated mods come out.

A lot of mods are long abandoned and will never be updated no matter how much we love them.

Nah, with the upcoming arrival of the ultimate Fallout London Mod people will switch over to the updated one eventually

The cure is patience for modding community to update their mods to current version. But i guess no one has that anymore.
