ENB is going to be like F4SE, in that it is built upon the Fallout4.EXE file. That too will need to be updated.

The beauty of the GOG version. By the time the GOG version actually processes the update and removes any DRM - the modding community will be well underway towards fixing the F4SE and related mods. There is no hurry to adopt these updates until they get processed and sorted by the modding community anyway. Steam is the Turtle - hurry, hurry, push the update. GOG is the Hare - no hurry, we'll get to the same place together anyway.

TBH, Steam can't dictate to a game publisher when (or how) they update their game. Steam is just a distributor. It's like the relationship between a local car dealer and Ford, GM, etc. The manufactures push, the dealers receive. ----- Steam's business model is push, push and push some more. This isn't a bad thing for Multiplayer Online games - it's horrible for Single Player games - especially ones that are modded. GOG's business model is - you decide when you want the next update. That said you still have forced updates through GOG for Multiplayer Games - it just won't let you play it again until it updates.

I can't imagine a settlement bug fix that hasn't already been adressed by Kinggath. The literal god of settlements.

I use GOG version and stay at 1.10.163. When you've been using mods like MCM Menu, Bullet Counted Reload and a host of other F4SE mods - the game essentially becomes unplayable without them. Maybe in a couple months the landscape will be sorted to update - but I'll know that PRIOR to updating. If it's one thing I'll never, ever do again is be a Day 1 adopter. Nothing works on Day 1.

The way to get around Steam requires pre-planning. Ex. Once you installed the game, run it for the first time to generate the .INI files you Back Up the entire Game folder. This way when the inevitable happens with Steam you just put it offline, delete the entire game folder and copy that backup back to your system. ------- I've long ago moved on to GOG version of every Bethesda title - the last was Fallout 4 last year, so this isn't an issue anymore.

Look on your system for mod archives and move them off your main drive. (NAS, DAS, Thumb Drive, additional drive on system, etc). System Downloads folder - where you'd manually download mods. Mod manager Downloads folder - where you'd have them to be installed. ----------- Clean out your Recycle Bin if you haven't cleaned it out lately. ----------- Beyond that, it sounds like you need more storage space. Why? Because if all you can free up is the space the installed mods take up you are going to be right back where you are now once you start modding your game again.

You sound like you need to watch a video. This stuff isn't rocket science. I haven't used the Mod Manager Download button in ages, at least 5+ years. Always use Manual Download, then copy the mod to the location it needs to be to be installed from.

You cut it off at plugins. Look at that section and if you see a mod with FF in the memory space - it's a plugin limit issue if that is the case. --------------- If you aren't sure why this is, well everything has it's limit. Even Mr. Creosote.

Huh? You might want to look through the Weapons section. You have to go out of your way to find a modern version of a weapon that there isn't at least 2 of on the Nexus for the PC.

It's going to be hard to get an unbiased answer to this - as people like things for their own reasons. That said: If you like a fancy GUI - Vortex might be what you want. If you want a simple GUI with all the information in one place - MO2 might be what you want. Give them both a spin, see what you like.

The key was they didn't try to do too much. 3 character arcs and a couple of underlying plot lines. That and they didn't try to impose 21st century ideology on a 23rd century post-apocalyptic world. ----- Next series give us a little more Dogmeat please.

A new player knows little. All he does know is that the 20-30 hours of Fallout TV inspired game play that is no longer viable because of an update. A grizzled veteran of the Bethesda update saga will identify with patience. A new player the TV show brought into the fold will be like a fish out of water.

1) If you are here from the TV show - learn to wait. This game is due a significant update next week. 2) You are looking for the easy way - well there is no easy way when it comes to modding games.
