Yesterday’s long-awaited Fallout 4 “next-gen” update is now available to download on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S – but has so far received a mixed response from fans.
It was sadly to be expected that the update would break compatibility with a large number of Fallout 4 mods – and indeed, ahead of time, users of top modding site Nexus Mods offered advice on how to disable the patch from being automatically downloaded. The creators of Fallout 4’s “DLC-sized” fan mod Fallout: London also had to delay the project’s release.
Still, many players have reacted with dismay that, yes, a number of mods are currently broken, with the game’s Fallout 4 Script Extender add-on not yet supported. (“I am working on an update and cannot currently offer a timeline for its availability, nor whether there will be any critical technical issues that would block an update,” the mod’s creator ianpatt wrote. “Do not email with questions.”)
