Headache.
That’s good news, because if you couldn’t stop yourself from playing the new version of Fallout 4 after watching Amazon’s Fallout TV show, which is now confirmed to be getting a second season, you’re probably not alone.

In a new article, Nexus Mods community manager Pickysaurus has shared some overview of the issues that Fallout 4 updates can cause when it comes to mods, as well as some handy steps the site is taking to help you resolve them. The initial aftermath of its arrival.
Noting that these expected effects “were all speculative until Bethesda” [provides] For more details on the update details, they outline that “it will almost certainly be incompatible with the Fallout 4 Script Extender” [at] release, which will temporarily prevent the use of any mods that require F4SE to run. “We wanted to give the F4SE team a few days of sneak peeks to give them a head start,” Pickysaurus added, noting that support for the new Epic Games Store version of the game Script extender support may not eventually become a reality.
The community manager also noted that “even if F4SE is compatible, advanced mods may require separate updates” and that “any legacy mods (i.e. mods created purely using the Creation Kit) may require some minor tweaks and updates based on changes to the underlying game ” – especially if the latter happens to “interact with a quest or location that Bethesda has fixed.”
