Greetings dwellers. Your Overseer here.

I wish this announcement was for happier things like new mods that work. Unfortunately, it is not. Our community member Cryptic is being harassed after calling out a Toxic Fake Porter known as GeoFox. If any of you have been modding Fallout 4 long enough to remember the burncycle incident 5 years ago, this is very akin to that with much more broken mods, anti-Semitism and false pedo calling.

The user GeoFox was/is uploading in mass broken ports of mods with no permission to do so. This is very detrimental to the end user who untimely will have their entire load order ruined when this persons account is banned; which has been several times by now. They keep making more with similar names as fast as Bethesda bans them.

As players we must remain vigilant and report each and every one of these mods.

PSN GeoFox77632 Geo_Fox_77632

Their PSN should also be reported to Sony for illegal activities on the Sony network. The simple use of anti-Semitic remarks and NSFW images with NSFW mods being uploaded to an SFW platform automatically qualify this user's PSN banned. The more reports, the faster they will be banned by Sony and hopefully stop this entirely in perpetuity because Sony can lock them out of their PS itself based on serial # if the offence is too severe, which this is imo. Racism is very strict within Sony guidelines and your console itself can be locked out of online use indefinitely.

Cryptic seems thus unphased by this and like myself wishes mental help for this person. This type of behavior is not something a normal mentally sane adult would engage with and if they are a minor their parents should seek them council. Cyber bullying is severe and unacceptable even if the receiver seems unbothered.

In the meantime report as much as possible and enjoy the safe mod uploads from your trusted mod authors and porters <3

Happy Modding

Greetings Dwellers!

Your Overseer here to help ease some of the overflow from the sub and direct some traffic to this mega post!

I am going to pre-comment some known broken mods and what we know.

If your issue pertains to a mod already commented on, please do not make a new comment chain. Please reply to the comment chain about your issue, not the post itself.

If your problem mod is not already a comment, then you are free to list the mod.

Mod Reporting Format

• Name of Mod
• Name of Mod Author/Uploader
• Issue you are having

The more issues we log we can get the feedback to the mod authors and porters and attempt to rectify the problems.

# PS Incompatibility Types

I would like the community to be aware that in this new era of porting 'any' mod to Sony, we are hitting some snags.

Unlike XBOX, PlayStation is not a Microsoft product, and in such has its own file types and formats. These do not translate directly from PC as most Xbox do. There are numerous extra steps for many things, and many types of file have to be converted to even work on PlayStation. For a small example, xwm sounds, a common thing in xbox mods, does not function on PlayStation, everything must be wav or at9. Converting things takes time. Another snag in our want to upload every mod ever to PlayStation right now. Trust me, we WANT to.

Not all Mod Authors/Porters are even aware of this. Bethesda put no guide or anything out. We are finding these things out by trial and error and thanks to the graces of the few Mod Authors that have been porting asset mods for months prior to their being an official method to upload. Thus we are trying to spread the word and bring all Mod Authors and porters together and share the tools needed to put these mods on PlayStation for players to enjoy.

# Known Issues

There are some currently known issues. Flora (plant mods) and skin textures do not translate properly to PlayStation yett. Bethesda is aware and we are reporting all of these issues in mass as mod authors to get action from Bethesda so we may more efficiently upload mods. This is why CBBE and many tree mods with LOD are having issues.

We are also aware of another issue where some NIF files (mesh) CTD when physically in the world, so many mods are having droppable items rendered invisible to still get the mod uploaded safely and have what functionality possible. My Radstiks™ mod has this issue, so I will be doing this too if a solution is not found soon.

Note from the Overseer

I hope by keeping the community informed in our process as Mod Authors it will allow players to better understand why mods aren't quite flying off the shelves as expected and have patience and understanding while we work with Bethesda to get mods to PlayStation without breaking.

We are doing everything we can to facilitate mods as quickly and efficiently as possible. Please check out my other 2 recent posts for info on where to request ports, help out by becoming a mod tester, and more!

Please report all bugs as indicated above so we can fix things ASAP!

Hello Everyone, your Overseer here with a refresher! The Modding 101 Post look has changed a bit, but all the same info and more is here!

Port requests go in our port subreddit, not here. We will be removing port requests in mass.

PlayStation especially please join to assist us getting these mods out as fast as possible!

Console Load Order

We have a full wiki geared specifically towards consoles. Keep in mind that XBOX has dealt with these mods on console for a long time. PlayStation is going to encounter incompatibilities and errors we are long used to. Over the years xbox players consistently had issues with all load order frameworks intended for PC, including the great OddLittleTurtle's load order. It came to show a pattern over the years that all the same types of mods kept messing up and consistently ended up needing tons of fiddiling and tinkering after to get a stable load order. My team and I tracked these mods across literally thousands of busted load orders in the past 4 years. Thus the console load order framework was born.

Subreddit Rules

# Be Respectful

We want this to remain a helpful and friendly community.

Always be respectful of everyone you are interacting with on this sub. No name calling. No bullying. No casting aspersions about people’s character. No harassing others in any way. Be that in public view or via direct message.

Failure to adhere to this rule will result in your no longer being able to participate in this community.

# Check Modding 101 Before Posting

It is always worth searching the sub before creating a new post.

Consider:

Has this been answered by a Sticky or Community post at the top of the main forum view?

That Bethesda’s servers regularly go down temporarily.

If you are asking for load order help, we have numerous resources. Check the Modding 101 Guide, FAQ & WIKI to ensure your question isn't already answered.

# Post Load Order and use the proper flair when asking for LO help

If you are experiencing a conflict or bug which you would like help resolving the community will be happy to help. But a video or screenshot of the problem is insufficient on its own.

Always include a full list of the mods you are running, and the order they are placed in. Providing partial lists / mentioning only the mods you think might be to blame rarely aids resolving the problem. It may also lead to the wrong conclusion entirely.

Posts asking for help without including this will be removed.

# If Posting Pictures or Video please state what mod they are from or utilizing

If you post a picture or video of an item, outfit, or settlement please list what mod(s) are being used in the displayed content.

No NSFW content is allowed on this subreddit.

This is not a place to advertise your own content unless you are specifically asking for help with mods and the video clips linked shows the issue/performance enhancement. Do not link your entire YT/Twitch/Twitter, you must link a specific mod related video.

# Spreading Misinformation

Do not disparage mod authors or porters because you do not like them as an individual

Do not make unsubstantiated claims about mods not working, causing crashes, frame rate drops or causing problems. Mod conflicts exist.

If you are experiencing problems? You can ask for help with your order or help getting a mod to work. That’s what this sub is here for.

Posts which deviate from this rule will be removed and in more extreme cases you will be excluded from participating in this community.

# No Discussion of IRL Topics

Discuss the mod, it's quality, it's stability, whether it is lore friendly, ect.

If you agree or disagree with a mods contents, beliefs, ideology ect is not to be discussed here.

Users that are having issues with a mod should be free to seek assistance.

There will be 0 tolerance of real life discussion topics. Including but not limited to; Religion, Race, Politics, Ai, IRL War, Gender or Sexuality.

If you can not contain yourself and refrain from discussion of such topics you will find yourself immediately unwelcome in this community.

# No MEMEs, this is not the place for that.

I really didn't think I needed to make this rule, but apparently I do. No Meme's please. Go to r/Fallout4Network to post MEME's, lore, and general Fallout chat.

# Breaking Bethesda Terms of Service (ToS)

This sub does not allow the discussion of, advocating for or sharing of ways to break Bethesda’s Terms of Service. Bans will be issued for the latter.

Modding guidelines can be found here: https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/51731 Videos or images which break these terms will also be removed and users penalized.

# No NSFW Content of any kind is allowed here. This sub is E for Everyone

If the mod in question would be unable to be uploaded to Bethesda mods due to disallowed content in regards to ToS (see rule 10), then you are not ok to discuss it here.

Bethesda does not allow NSFW mods on Bethesda.net, so they have no place here. ANY posts marked NSFW will be auto-removed by the auto-bot. Do not tag your post as NSFW unless you want it removed immediately. Persistent posts will result in a ban.

Please go to r/Fallout4ModsNSFW for that type of content.

# Advertising is not Permitted

This includes:

Linking to a site where goods or content is sold. The advertising of paid services.

The creation of posts purely to promote an individual or group.

Links added to intentionally direct traffic to sites such as YouTube, Discord, Twitch.

Offering to pay others for load order help, for porting mods and other similar services is also not permitted on this platform.

# Verified Creations

Discussion of paid mods is encouraged, both positive and negative, but please keep discussions respectful regardless of your feelings of the verified creations program.

Mod Authors of verified creations are currently exempt from the above rule . You may to link to pages for Verified Creations on Bethesda.net only. Participating in the sub to reply to questions or bug reports is required if you are going to advertise and link to verified creations. Otherwise the posts will be removed.

In addition to the above rule changes some protections have been put in place to warn or in some cases block certain wording in posts/comments. Please pay attention to all pop-ups and act accordingly.

I hope this leads to a more positive community overall for everyone. Please be patient while these rules roll out network wide and individual wiki's are updated. This is a lengthy process.

Hello Everyone, your friendly Overseer here with an update on porting rules, posting guidelines, a few announcements and some Q&A

Rules on Port Requests

Bethesda has yet again updated it's rules on ports.

• Permission to port must be publicly available on the site the mod is hosted. – This may be anywhere on the same site: mod description, mod comments, author profile, forum threads, et cetera. Some third-party mod hosts have specific places to include these permissions, but anywhere publicly available on the host is allowable.
  • To ensure transparency, we no longer accept permissions provided via social media, chat services, or screenshots of private conversations. Any ports with a “date created” before March 12, 2023 may continue to rely on these for permission, even if updated later.
• Different mods have different permissions. – Make sure you have, and provide, appropriate permission.
  • Mods may have blanket permission for anyone to upload to other sites, or specifically to Bethesda.net, or specifically for consoles. These mods may be ported to Bethesda.net without further approval.
  • If a mod requires the original author(s) individually approve any ports, when the author provides permission they must name the account(s) approved to port the mod to Bethesda.net, or link to the Bethesda.net ports directly. Bear in mind, if you have different account names, or are brokering permission for another user, make sure the name of the uploader is given to the mod author so they may include this!
  • Some mods allow porting with limitation like not altering the content, or combining with other mods. Porters should check for this and gain additional approvals if required. Authors should not be surprised by how their content is being ported to Bethesda.net.
  • Always remember to be considerate of the original author(s)!

See the below visual guide to navigating Nexus to ensure your post is not removed due to not meeting the requirements.

https://preview.redd.it/xp3z4e5vqklh1.png?width=1130&format=png&auto=webp&s=b6fb02c82411431a3e1958e05eca73a27bdc43ae

>Pay Close Attention to the permission wording, not just the check mark.

https://preview.redd.it/z8opt8e2rklh1.png?width=1130&format=png&auto=webp&s=bc06d0ddf520a3c6c9a4297bf7ec1ac901de1d53

>With closed permission all is not lost, you can still look other places, or make a request.

https://preview.redd.it/l89zv08krklh1.png?width=1302&format=png&auto=webp&s=f0862e3713028014e3580c069392c3bbb5422dc6

• When requesting direct permission from a Mod Author who has permission to port in red
  • Ensure in your request that you also ask the MA to publicly state you have been granted personal permission. This can easily be done by letting them know you will be posting a comment in the post section of the mod saying thank you for permission, and have them reply to it saying your welcome and acknowledging you have been granted permission to port the mod. This will still allow direct permission requests to be valid and legal in Bethesda's rules.

>* Watch out for console incompatible requirements like F4SE.
* Always check the requirements dropdown menu to ensure console compatible
* Always check the requirements dropdown to ensure no required mods are closed perms

Posting Guidelines for Port Requests & Bundle Requests

• You MUST link the nexus mod page for the mod you are asking to be ported
• You MUST link to the permission to port if it is not contained on the main page of the mod
• When requesting a mod bundle you MUST link EACH mod's nexus page you want in the bundle AND permission from each MA if permission is not on the mods main Nexus page.
• DO NOT post the same request twice. You may comment on your same post and ask NICELY for an update, but do not post the request again or BOTH requests will be removed.
• NO NSFW. Bethesda has strict rules on that, so do we. No one is getting banned for you, don't ask or you will be banned from this subreddit permanently.

Posting Guidelines for Mod Requests

• Be as descriptive and detailed as possible when requesting a mod be created from scratch
• Please know we are not Bethesda employees and some things are beyond our scope or ability to create for you
• Replacers will be the lowest on the totem pole as far as queue order and are the least priority.
• DO NOT post the same request twice. You may comment on your same post and ask NICELY for an update, but do not post the request again or BOTH requests will be removed.

Failure to do any of the above WILL result in the AutoMod removing your post and you being muted from the subreddit for a week. After that time you will have access to post another request and hopefully follow the guidelines. AutoMod is our new friend and being designed to take the stress of rule breakers off our shoulders so we can focus on porting more most in a timely fashion. The more we have to remind people rules and delete posts manually, the less time we have to port your mod requests.

Q&A

• Q: Will you port a mod with no nexus link?
  • A: NO.
• Q: Will you port a mod with no permission to port?
  • A: NO.
• Q: Will my post get deleted if it does not have a nexus link and permission to port?
  • A: Yes.

Your Overseer here to say .... it just works. Like, no joke, it actually works.

Reports from the update are flooding in with overwhelming news of preserved load orders, removal of ba2 limits, save/restore load order fixes and other amazing news. Here's everything that's happened:

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Added and Updated Features 

Game 

• Increased the BA2 archive limit from 256 to 1024 to better accommodate larger collections of mods. 
• Added localized strings fixes for UI and platform terminology.

Overall this his been a phenomenal update. Very few have reported their load order missing or any issues other than the usual mod incompatibilities.

PlayStation users have been gifted the beauty of fully supported asset mods. This means console modding is no longer a split division. Sony players will be able to enjoy all the same mods we enjoy on xbox. A new dawn has come. Mod Authors and porters are already working double time pushing out mods to PlayStation in mass.

For some clarification. The increase of ba2 does not suddenly mean you can now run 700 mods. This just means esl get to function as intended now, and do not count towards your 254 mods. Previously with esl having ba2 attached to them, and their being a ba2 limit, essentially made them being esl redundant. That is no longer the case. Esl or esl flagged esp, now truly do not count toward your total mod count under any circumstances.

I will do some further investigation to confirm, but as far as I am aware, all but 6 of the 150 mod AE Bundle is ESL. Meaning players who choose to install the full bundle will no longer be punished and can still run a full load order beside it. You should now be able to install 247 esp/esm with the full AE bundled installed, and not cap out at 98 like before. This means players who install the AE Bundle, and get a full load order, will essentially be running 390 mods.

This was previously unthinkable on xbox. The sky is the limit. If you are careful in your choices, arrange it properly, and avoid conflicts, you absolutely can run 300+ mod load orders. Be mindful. A lot of load order posts asking for help make all the same mistakes constantly then wonder why Bethesda sux, lol. Don't get 5 weather mods. Don't get 3 different texture replacers. Don't use 3 different raider overhauls. Be selective, overhaul each thing carefully, and imo some things not at all. I consistently find my game runs better than others and it can't be cuz what I am doing, i use old mods with known issues and dance around them. I think it's what I don't do, that helps my game. I don't add 100 guns to LL. I dont hardly touch raiders. LL and touching raiders is a quick way to destabilize Boston even with Boston Less Enemies and Dead Financial. All that new gear poofing on to raiders, all the new guns in their hands, with their nice high poly, and likely 2k new outfits you poof on them. Stuff like that quickly becomes the end all. I am trying a raider mod rn and this is the most choppy my Boston has been in 2 years. I won't be using it going forward and its a very stable known good mod. I just wanted to see some Fallout 3 raider stuff on them, and the difference is noticeable right away. My Boston was butter everywhere before, now I see fps loss as the new geared raiders come at me. I'm on XSX. Simply not touching raiders (or mutants) all these years has to be why I have had 0 complaints about Boston and others can't even get to swan's pond, meanwhile i'm setting up a campsite in a swan boat after killing the big guy. Idk. Just something I noticed over the years and now 7k hours of playing Fallout 4 on xbox. Figured I would share my experience.

In addition to that I have taken extensive feedback from the community and assembled a list of tips and FAQ from our staff that we feel will assist players in building a more stable game overall.

• Script injected to LL gun mods count as scripted mods and do just as much damage if removed mid-game as any mod with scripts. Never remove a mod mid-game.
• 2k - 4k Texture PSA, CTD hardware limit when used with extensive load orders and too many high resolution textures
• Avoid updating mods mid-game unless you are currently having a bug or the mod explicitly states its OK - even then risk is on you dangers always exist
• Don't enable 200 mods all at once and load the game. Load the game with essential mods (see wiki FAQ) and then enable handfuls of mods at a time, running around for a minute and letting the mods all load properly and initialize. This can prevent loads of errors and conflicts
• AE didn't fix Far Harbor headers, the fix mod is still needed
• Be extra careful pairing mods that were impossible to use together before due to size. While functional alone, these huge mods have never been played side by side on console. Use caution, and use available patches to avoid conflicts.
• If your load order is jumbled, a way to get it to indefinitely stop, is arrange 10 at a time. Back out to the main menu between each, then exit the game to dashboard. Then go back in and move 10 more. Annoyingly tedious, but I can personally confirm after doing this all my mods, except the pesky esl flagged esp, stay put and every time I look at my load order its all in the same spots.
• [EDIT] Note about ESP limit. The ESP limit does not crash out the whole game and prevent access like hitting ba2 limit did. When you hit the plugin limit your save simply wont load or will crash immediately after loading. Simply go back and disable the mod you just enabled/installed and the save will load again.

Thank you to all the creators who make content for us to enjoy! Truly this community would not thrive like it does without the tireless efforts of the dozens of mod authors and porters who keep this game alive.

[Unrelated side note - Skyrim update coming! Storage increase and creations update!]

Greetings Dwellers!

Your Overseer here with steps on how to stop your game from updating.

[From the Collective Modding Discord]

August 18th Bethesda will be pushing another Fallout 4 Update and soon another for Skyrim. This one is focusing on General Creations Improvements!

So, now is the time to prevent automatic updates from happening, get your mod lists backed up, etc. Every single time they update the game(s), breaks our script extenders and dependent mods. Please take this as a fair warning, considering we were not given much time to prepare for this! Using Windows Explorer, navigate to your Steam\SteamApps folder and set:

• appmanifest_377160.acf - Properties - click Read Only (Fallout 4)
• appmanifest_1946160.acf - Properties - click Read Only (FO4 Creation Kit)
• appmanifest_489830.acf - Properties - click Read Only (Skyrim SE/AE)
• appmanifest_1946180.acf - Properties - click Read Only (Skyrim SE/AE Creation Kit)

Once the script extender (F4SE) and dependent mods are confirmed to have updated, you can then remove the Read Only flags and update your game and F4SE mods!

Setting ACH files to Read Only and having these settings should minimize/eliminate the auto-updates, considering we typically launch our games via script extenders and not directly by the launchers.

I hope this helps everyone out!
