Gamepass for PC

[Nicholas12290]

I am trying to download various mods and follow the steps in mod descriptions, however the instructions are for the Steam version of Fallout 4, not the gamepass version, is there another way to download mods via Gamepass for PC without using the built in mod menu as the mods I want are not in the built in mod menu. thanks for any help you can give.

I don't think any of the mod managers support game pass games as yet. However, it seems to me, that you could point the manager at the game pass location of the game, and all should go well from there.

In follow up to Augusta's post.

Be aware that if MS Gamepass has changed the VERSION of the Fallout4.exe then F4SE will NOT work with it, just like it happened with Skyrim Special Edition.

From this article:

However, some games on the Xbox Game Pass app allow for an optional toggle button that can allow mod installs by opening up the root game folder including the game’s executable. Skyrim Special Edition on Xbox Game Pass allows this but comes with one important caveat: the Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) is incompatible with this version.
SKSE is required for some of the most popular mods for Skyrim Special Edition, but unfortunately the Game Pass executable version is 1.5.111 - which is a new version of the game (probably to allow Xbox Achievements and Microsoft log in etc.) - whilst the Steam version is 1.5.97.
Doubly unfortunate for players is that it seems like SKSE won’t be updated to the Game Pass version, as the official website says that “SKSE cannot support any potential Windows Store release of Skyrim. Windows Store applications are locked down similarly to consoles and do not allow the APIs necessary for script extenders to work.”
That means that yes, Skyrim Special Edition on Xbox Game Pass does allow for mod support, but only as long as they do not require SKSE to work. There are of course Bethesda.Net mods which have been created without the need for SKSE anyway, but could prove a problem in terms of load order if you have any conflicting mods.
