F4SE Mod Fixes by possible mod authors that are gone before the new update.

since FO4 is getting a new update, i am hoping someone could fix F4SE mods that will break and their creator is no longer modding FO4. im hoping that goes for Looksmenu and stuff like that.

One can't update then reupload an F4SE mod without permission but the authors of the most recognized F4SE plugins like LooksMenu, Better Console and Photo Mode haven't been retired. They release SFSE mods nowadays. I don't think they'd abandon their earlier projects.

Very true. I'm still very unhappy at the punitive "update" for Fallout 4, but steps will be taken to minimize the damage.

Nobody likes change but this update was necessary to bring FO4 in line with Skyrim and is long overdue IMO. My displeasure with this update rests solely with Steam and not Bethesda. This update wouldn't be an issue for anyone if not for Steam's update policy.

...are you kidding me, worm82075? Legendary to Special was acceptable but the rot was already showing. It's never been a hassle about incremental updates if the things solved actual problems. Not ONE of the forced problems of Fallout 4 like Godrays turning themselves back on or that flipping autorotation has ever been fixed by Bathysphere updates. Hell, every Papyrus improvement has come solely from modders!

Special Edition to Anniversary Edition was a pure cash grab, putting in "fishing" as a FETCH QUEST and taking every other popular lore piece and quest idea for over 15 years with the same lack of regard for or comprehension of the assignment. Then they did it again! FO4 doesn't NEED to be in line with Skyrim and Most of us (myself in particular) find the whole notion of putting it in line with Skyrim to be pure desecration, something that was purely borne out in the Nerftastic Degrade.

Steam kowtowing to Thugs-be-duh is a pain, yes, but never seek to excuse the asscrack gougemasters. I have long since considered them the Bathysphere because there's no depths too low for them to sink to. (Incidentally, the Amazon series was good despite Bethesda, not due to them. I do thank the company for managing to daisy-chain the show's events through the timeline, but that goodwill fades away very easily when it occurs to me that Buggy had NO EXCUSE to misclassifly even things as simple as Power Armor defense ratings if they could pull off event threading this well.

Bottom Line, Don't bother defending the indefensible.

LOL, I get it, you hate the master we serve. I don't share your sentiment but I encourage you to break your bonds and be free of this hell. Surely somewhere out there is a kinder, better developer's engine to realize your game's dream. Or....maybe not. Maybe this is as good as it gets and when you aren't complaining online you are spending all of your time in a Bethesda Open World, either in front of the camera or behind. We aren't so different, i think we both love Bethesda's game model, I just don't hate myself for loving something made by someone I hate.

Also I don't know anything about a cash grab. I bought Skyrim on Steam day 1 and got all of the upgrades, LE, SE and AE for free. I find it hard to believe that isn't the case for everyone that purchased the original. How many copies did you have to buy?

It's long since been to the point that the Papyrus and Engine Tinkerers could make a Hell of a better system... and that the Bathysphere would sue them for applying even one Vault Door into an actual working system, calling it theft of intellectual property.
