My "nExT gEn" update experience:

Get baited to re-play Fallout 4 through the new TV show + Next Gen update
Be disappointed since the graphics aged like milk + Official HD texture DLC sucks
Be disappointed since the update broke nearly all mod support
Roll back to the release before the Next Gen update + Uninstall the Official HD texture DLC
Install 205 mods, and happily play with nearly everything in 4K

FYI, most mods I installed are from:

The Midnight Ride:

Reason #150 on why Fallout New Vegas is the best Fallout:

Bethesda despises it so much that it'll never get an update, remaster, or get repacked into an anniversary edition.

No Todds, No Masters

In this entire article, not even a single attempt to quantity the number of complaints.

This sounds to me like an extremely small minority. It appears as though Fallout 4 has sold over 25 million copies, and there's.... Maybe a couple dozen people on the Internet complaining?

The updates will continue until the free modications stop getting updated.

Console skyrim mod enjoyers are weeping having to re-download 75 mods because Todd liked the word Creations more.

I mean, I get it, I do, I love modding... But can't they just not upgrade or even downpatch?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It’s not that they can’t, it’s that people are getting blindsided by updates to a game which supposedly hasn’t received updates for over half a decade, and downgrading on Steam is a surprisingly huge PITA. The Midnight Ride recommends patching, fwiw.

How can you even downgrade on steam?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

you download the corresponding depots using the console / steamcmd. Here's the process using the console.

Yeah I know, the show came out and everyone is hyped because of that. But maybe put those resources into fixing shit in Starfield?

So, they're giving it the Skyrim treatment. I think it's received about 10 version updates since AE launched like 2 years ago. I ended up downloading a modlist that was 1.5.97 (the original version of Skyrim SE) and ended up sticking with it since it's future proofed.

They actually made the load time worse with their update. Not by a little, by a fucking tonne. Going from any interior to outside now takes like a full minute and 30 seconds, its ridiculous.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It took that time before the update for me as well. 1-2 minutes for every loading screen. There was a mod for that (before the next-gen update) that you could not load via nexus, bc the setup was a little more conplex, but it worked really well (see https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10283 )

The method of this mod was to speed up the fps only while in the loading screen to 300-350 bc the loading times were somehow tied to the fps. Well done Bethesda.

This is starting to feel like their way of blocking Fallout London from releasing indefinitely.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

bethesda has historically hated mods and the people who make them. its why their games have such a small modding scene

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Well the updates to Skyrim, Fallout and lack of modding tools for Starfield seems to indicate that it is now a reality. I seriously cannot fathom why they would sabotage themselves like that. It's absolutely obvious since at least Oblivion that mods are lifeline and reason for success of Bethesda rpg games yet here we are.
