Fallout 4 mods coming Tuesday 31st

I'm using 6 or 7 all of which seem to be working fine I have no idea about the load order though as in what should go in what order or the reasoning why

 

^It's probably a combination of luck and the fact that you're not using many mods. Some mods just don't play well with each other. I just counted and have 21 mods active. As long as your game is working fine, you're good. But if you start having freezes
at a later point, you'll definitely want to check into load order.

 

Blue... When you choose a mod on the X1, is there a detailed description that tells you what mods might not work with others? Also, on nexus mods, it will tell you if mods require a second mod to work. Is it like this on the X1?

For the load order on pc, there are tools that will arrange your mods for you......But I never bother with them lol. Basically all I do is make sure I keep the same sorts of mods grouped together, so for an example....

This was only an example and isn't a list of real mod name's lol. Doing it like this has always worked fine for me, and I run about 70 mods at the moment without issue.

 

^^ You can run all those mods on X1 at the same time? Are they free? Also I heard there was a texture mod. Has anyone used it and does it make it look better?

 

From what I understand the Mod limit is 2Gb of Downloads at any one time. You can go back and Delete Downloads to try new ones. They are also all free. I have no idea if higher texture mods will ever be offered.

 

I'd try a few but I want to complete my playthrough first as they disable achievements.

 

You shouldn't have to worry about that because with a mod enabled it is a separate Save File.

But then again, the way most Achievements are broken or have some issue on the Xbox One I'm not sure if I would risk having a permanently broken Achievements in Game either.

 

Tbh, I'd just start a new playthrough for using mods. This is what I've done on pc, a totally untouched vanilla playthrough which I've 100% now, and then a few different playthroughs for messing around modding.

 

I think I'll start a new playthrough.

 

GS. The site has over 1300 XB1 mods listed now and still adding. Most of the mods have a pretty good description and most will tell you if they require you to have another mod
for them to work. It is up to the mod author to provide the details and it doesn't look like Bethesda is being very stringent on that aspect. I haven't seen very many descriptions say they conflict with other mods, but there are a few that say so.

A few people on their site have mentioned mod tools may be coming. Considering how many console users (like myself) are new to modding, I think it would've been a good idea to
have one available from the beginning.

As far as load order goes, I get the feel that the console is going to be a lot more touchy about it. There are a few threads on their site with basic load order suggestions.

My game was freezing multiple times before it even got to the intro "Press Any Button To Continue" screen, followed by freezing a few more times after pressing one, so I had to
reboot the game each time to get it going. I found a detailed load order list that someone posted on their site and decided to follow it closely last night.

After having the typical multiple freezes/reboots, I got to the mods menu and reordered them. The game only had to reload them once after I did that (compared to a few more times
previously). It reloaded them more quickly, as well, once it did. Tonight I'll see if it works as well when initially loading the game, as it did from the main menu last night. If it does, I can post it here if anyone wants it.

Also, I've heard rumor that they're considering increasing the 2GB reserved space limit for mods... but it's only rumor. It really depends on how large the file size is for each
mod, but in my case, the 21 mods I have are a little over 3/4 of a GB... if memory serves. <See what I did there? >.<

I'm a little disappointed you didn't start a
FALLOUT 4 MODS BROKE MY XBOX ONE thread. I'll just keep waiting for someone else to do it.

I know, I know. Sorry to disappoint, but... I still like to follow the old tradition of using some common sense in addition to understanding I have to take some responsibility for the decisions I make.

I realize that on today's internet that probably looks like some kind of disease, but life is more logical and sensical with it. Also, my KB stays dry, so there's that.

 

Love the roaming aliens and gorillas.

...yep, killed me two gorillas yesterday.

 

This all sounds so fun, makings sure one mod works with the other and grouping them together. Yep that's sarcasm.

 

@Blue Illusion

Now there's three.
