Seeing as Fallout 4 will use Bethesda.net not Steam Workshop, this doesn't really matter. They removed the Steam Workshop API back in December.

Try to copy files Plugins.txt and LoadOrder.txt from
C:\Users\[XX]\AppData\Local\Fallout4 to [X:]\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4

[XX] your user account
[X:] your drive where you have installed steam/fallout 4.

*May be you have to play with the MOD Menu inside the game itself and login your Bethesda account if you have etc...

I did that and it works for me.

Find the appdata folder on your windows drive by typing %appdata% into the search bar in the start menu. then go to the "local" file and find the "fallout4" file. inside the fallout 4 folder is a text document called "Plugins". open plugins with a text editor and add a star (*) in front of every 3rd party mod you are running (only the 3rd party mods, not the bethesda ESM mods). save the document by undoing the "read only" status in the file and then change it back to read only after saved.

Launch FO4 now using the ORIGINAL FO4 .exe (DO NOT FOR ANY REASON OPEN OR USE NMM or any other mod manager or it will reset the changes you made to the plugin file)

most of your mods should work now but if they are not make sure you have made the proper corrections to the fallout ini files as they may have reset because of the update.)

For f*** sake- did the Beth devs change something again? My modded game worked peachy effin creamy yesterday and now I get "The save relies on content that is no longer present" crap. Is there a workaround?

[Deleted6850917User]

Well the creation kit came out today finally. https://bethesda.net/#en/events/game/fallout-4-creation-kit/2016/04/26/114

 

The time is now!

I found this thread containing a solution for me so have faith :) I hope this works for you too.

Essentially, the solution is very simple.

1)Create a profile at bethesda.net required for downloading mods of their website (some great mods here too).
2)Go to MODS option on Main Menu of Fallout 4.
3)Choose load order (press Y for me with controller)
4)Here your mods will be listed (including those through NMM) and you simply enable them (by pressing A for me with controller)
5)Voila! Works like a peach

It actually seems like a great system if they keep it although I don't know how this effects the manual modders. It seems to work fine with NMM and Beta Creation Kit Mods.

EDIT:
Removed what I wrote. After reading thsi thread: https://community.bethesda.net/thread/10012?start=0&tstart=0

It seems as if it's a bug that wasn't intentional because of the release of the open CK beta. They'll provide a hotfix shortly, if I understood correctly, that'll move back the plugins.txt to the original location.

EDIT 2:
Wow, kudos to Bethesda for fixing it that fast. Hotfix is already up. It's now working as intended. Edited April 26, 2016 by DrScandi

fallout 4 patch updates 1.5 broke my game if you disable the beta half my mods won't work

I'm with you on that bro. Crashes every 10 - 15 min, many vanilla items went "poof" (sanctuary bridge, walls throughout settlements, couches, toilets, etc GONE) and cannot get out of the Institute AT ALL - level 84) Even old saves that were fine have all been affected.
I think that if you start beta DO NOT LEAVE OR CHANGE ANYTHING. ALL saves have been affected. My 4th playthrough (reached +- level 100 with other 3) and I will not start from scratch again. What a waste. I can continue playing, just cannot go into institute, tried everything but i cannot open console to "finish institute quests" either - even after downloading new stuff from NMM.

Aouch, you already went through and reinastalled mods... sometimes you shouldn't act too quickly.

They already sent out a hotfix to fix it and you don't even have to use the in game mod menu but can use NMM as normal :D

[AgamemnonTWC]

Lol @ the quote up top. The mod community can do much more than change textures, and the list gets longer every day, GECK or no GECK.

 

But I'm still happy to see the new GECK. Hopefully we can mod out parts of the new survival mode (like console commands are necessary in Beth games, they're all buggy, and I want to save when I want dang it).
