do i have to reinstall mods when the game updates?

as the topic says,

 

do i have to reinstall the mods when the game updates? especially those mods that replaces textures/ models/ whatever. are the updates going to revert all game files back to original ones?

 

i am asking because my game crashes every time i want to load into a save, and i just realize i had an beta update.

 

edit: i am trying to deactivate and reactivate the mods one by one, will that work?

Today I've tried the Beta Update... and for me with Homemaker and Higher Settlemets mod installed it worked without doing anything to the installed mods.

But just to secure make a backup of your Fallout 4 Folder in Steam -> common apps !

The short answer is no. Or you shouldn't if you prefer a more nuanced answer. The reason for the qualification is that some of that is in the control of the mod authors and some of it is controlled by Bethesda. All of your files that use plugins should work correctly if the plugin is correctly formed by the mod author. If a mod uses loose files, such as some texture replacers, those should work as well, if Bethesda doesn't break anything. Make sure you have a backup of your Fallout4Custom.ini somewhere handy. Bethesda shouldn't update that file, but you know what should means, right?

 

I haven't had any problems running the beta with a heavily modded game, but a problem the next time I launch wouldn't shock me.

 

Start a new game and see if it will launch. That way you eliminate your present setup as the problem and can concentrate on trying to get your saves to work.

 

Hope this helps you.

Normally you won't have to reinstall them. But looking out for updates for your mods accomodating to probable changes in the game updates might be a good idea.
