How to DOWNGRADE your game to previous patch
By IamGood
"The 2024-04-25 Fallout 4 update (1.10.980 and later) has broken F4SE and the rest of the native code modding scene similarly to Skyrim's "Anniversary Edition" patch." As well as a ton of good mods that makes F4 fun.

As always, hodd toward "blessed" us with another trash no one was asking for. If you want to play normal Fallout 4 with all your mods and have fun - this is the way

1 - The story
The 2024-04-25 Fallout 4 update (1.10.980 and later) has broken F4SE and the rest of the native code modding scene similarly to Skyrim's "Anniversary Edition" patch. Basically, bethesda bricked F4SE, bricked 90% of mods and made game unplayable. A lot of people, inculding me, wasnt very happy to see that. "The usual Fallout standart"
2 - Preparations
To make your game playable and fun again, we need to open Steam console. To do that, we need to past that in our web browser and press Enter

steam://nav/console

after that, pop up window will ask us to start steam, and then the console will open.
Also, you can add that as a Steam shortcut - find "+ Add game" in the left bottom corner of the Steam app, press it, 1st row - add game not from steam, then search. Then, choose any shortcut from your start screen ( like for a calculator, im talking about *.LNK file) and add it to steam. Then open its properities. Name it Steam console and past command above into to rows. It should look like that.


More detailed guide for console can be found here - https://framedsc.com/GeneralGuides/steam_update_guide.htm
3 - Downloading and placing files
Now we need to find files to download and then replace F4 current files with them, reverting game to playable state. For each language you need to download different depot. For a Fallout 4, all depots are here - https://steamdb.info/app/377160/depots/

For a English speaking players, here are commands you need to enter in steam console

copy one row, past it in the console and press enter
steam will then download all related files, which can be found here - Steam\SteamApps\content\app_377160
inside that folder will be all out depots we needed
download all of them, then copy them into Fallout4 folder, replacing all files. After that, in the Data folder, you need to DELETE ALL files that has "ccBG" in the beginning of its name.
Thats it, you good to go!

@Slugwatch sry, im having tough times. and also, why not to talk about it? maybe hodd toward by some miracle will see that :D
IamGood  [author] 2 Jun @ 7:03am 
@Speyburn starting your game with F4SE will buypass mandatory steam updating, so if your game wasnt updated to next gen - you are good. However, if steam will decide to fock you up anyway, let update to finish and then apply override

@HUBERT THE ROCK delete all files that has ccBG in your data folder. download depot, move files, then delete ccBG

@Iamgood Making a joke, not trying to start a debate on whether a game from 2015 does, or doesn't, need a gen update.
Speyburn 30 May @ 5:50pm 
I have my Steam settings set to not automatically update games until I play them, so I haven't played Fallout 4 since before the 25th of April patch however, Steam will require me to update it if I wanted to play it again. thus applying the patch and breaking my mods. Would applying the depots override the patch requirement or should I just patch it and apply the depot files?
HUBERT THE ROCK 30 May @ 3:07am 
Do I add the ccbg files from the depot or do I delete those too?
IamGood  [author] 29 May @ 3:59am 
@Slugwatch, meh, it woudnt be too bad if bethesda cared about bugs. they just keeps ruining their games with unneeded shite. like skyrim - hod toward sold it 3 (or maybe even 4) times! like wtf
IamGood  [author] 29 May @ 3:56am 
@Speyburn, i dont understand. If you arent updated your game, you should be on previous patch. Clarify pls
IamGood  [author] 29 May @ 3:55am 
@Enclave, do you have any questions? Maybe i can help?
Slugwatch 28 May @ 6:40am 
Players: Mann, this game keeps crashing. Can't get these mods to work right at all!

Devs: Lets fix that!

Players: No! Fuck you, you ruined it! Now I have to update 40K plus mods because you tried to help!
