The newest update to the console versions of Fallout 4 and Skyrim limits the number of mods you can have active at once. New Updates Impose Limits on Fallout 4, Skyrim Mods for Xbox One and PS4. Of Fallout 4 and Skyrim: Special Edition have officially placed a max limit on. 11/4 5:03AM: Double-barreled Shotgun vs. Righteous Authority: ShadowFF6: 2: 10/15 3:03AM: Do you use Mods on Fallout 4: TalkNoJutsu: 16: 9/29 6:16PM: Huge Draw Calls Spikes Help: zeCrusader39: 2: 9/24 12:43AM: Sheesh, those load screens are taking ages on my new desktop: Kharillle: 11: 9/23 5:34PM. NEVER check Fallout.esm or Fallout.exe during the entire process! Select all the mods/ESP files; right click and Check for Errors. If there are NO errors: Make sure the ESP files are still selected; right click; Apply Script. Select Merge Plugins v1.9 (which comes from the merge plugins script download above).

After 80 hours of playing vanilla Fallout 4, I’ve decided that it’s time for mods. Here’s how you can join me.

Before we get started with the instructions, I want to point out that modding Fallout 4 is simple, but it will get easier as time goes on. Publisher Bethesda has yet to release its official modding tools for its latest open-world hit. We should get that next year along with Steam Workshop support. Steam Workshop is how Valve enables developers and the community to instantly plug add-ons into games natively through Steam. This enables players to click the “subscribe” button on a workshop page in Steam to instantly add mods. But even when that happens for Fallout 4, the process I’m about to go over should always work.

Let’s get to it:

Contribute to SendNoods/Fallout4 development by creating an account on GitHub. Dismiss Join GitHub today. GitHub is home to over 50 million developers working together to host and review code, manage projects, and build software together. Merge Plugins / zMerge is a good solution, but it is an old school one. A better solution is to flag them as an ESL in order to create an ESP-FE/ESPLite. This allows you to bypass the normal 254/255 plugin limit and then you don't have mess with Archive2 later either. Unlike a true ESL, it also respects load order.

Installing mods

Finding and downloading mods

1. First, you’ll need to find mods that you want to use with Fallout 4.
2. The most trusted site right now is Nexus Mods.
3. Pick a mod like Lowered Weapons, and click on the “Files” tab.
4. Click the “download manually” link.
5. Save the file to your desktop or a Fallout 4 mods folder.

Above: Nexus Mods is a great resource.

Extracting and installing mods

1. Go to the folder you downloaded the mods to.
2. Use a program like WinRAR to extract the downloaded files into a new folder.
3. Use the “Extract to …” option to ensure that files don’t get lost or disorganized.
4. Go into the new folder and copy the applicable files.
5. Generally, you’ll want to copy the entire folder (Meshes in the Lowered Weapons example).
6. Find your Fallout 4 install location, which is typically: C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommon
7. Paste the copied folder into Fallout 4’s “Data” folder.
8. If it asks you to replace or merge files, hit “yes.”

Fallout 4 In Game Esp

Editing the .ini file

1. Finally, you need to edit the .ini file to teach Fallout 4 to look for mods.
2. Find the .ini file, which is almost always here: C:Users*USERNAME*Documentsmy gamesFallout4
3. Right click on Fallout4.ini and select Edit.
4. Hit CTRL+F and search the file for this: “sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS”
5. In the case of Lowered Weapons, add “, MESHES” to the end of that line.
6. It should now read: “sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS, MESHES”
7. Go to file and Save As and replace the current .ini file.
8. Keep in mind that it won’t always be “, MESHES” that you’ll need to add. It depends on the name of the file that you add to Fallout 4’s Data folder.

Now, all you have to do is boot up the game and enjoy. Let us know if you have any issues.
