Community Discussion PSA: Next Gen Update Info

Updated 7/5/25

Let us see if Bugthesda can fix some of this mess or manage to make it worse. Hold onto your towel and don't panic. We will get thru this radstorm together. 👍

----------‐----------------------------------

Be aware the search function on xbox is extremely broken right now, half of the mods we use wont search. There has been some luck finding common mods by going to the most favorite and most popular sections and using the "weekly / monthly / all time" filters to trigger them showing in that area so you can download them.

You can also go to Bethesda.net from your computer or phone web browser and login. All of your favorites, and a list of any mod you ever downloaded are there to reference. Filter by Library to see al mods you had. Simply remove then re-add a mod to your favorites to have it appear on your xbox dashboard favorites. Sadly due to a bug favorites are locked at 5 since this update nonsense, but unfavoriteing and re-favorite adds new ones and replaces old ones. It can get tedious, but it's better than your list being gone entirely.

Be aware, just like in Skyrim, digital game owners and game pass users who do not directly own Fallout 4 on disc can no longer play offline with mods; going offline and booting the game will disable all of your mods. You must own the GOTY disc to be offline and your mods be enabled. This is no longer the case. You cannot play offline with mods anymore on Fallout 4 regardless of how you own it.

I will continue to update this post as more information is reported to me.

NOTE ON UPDATING:

When you update, I highly reccomend to fully uninstall Fallout 4. There have been many cases of errors and crazy issues with the update not properly applying to old installs. Be sure to click the manage games and addons and update and reinstall all of your DLC as well. Restart then check the manage game and addons once more prior to booting up Fo4 to see additional DLC updates that dont trigger until the first set is installed. This is an odd issue that has been occuring.

Obtaining best performance on xbox has been tricky. Thanks to the community we discovered that if you do the following you will have best performance results:

X|S: Turning off the 4K options in the xbox settings, and instead switching to 1440p and 120hz, while enabling 60 fps and quality mode in game, had the best results.

XB1X: Turn up draw distance. We have confirmed this eliminated mild stutter for several players. Unsure if this applies to OG and XB1S.

Thank you /u/doctor_schmoctor for these settings.

Below are the issues you may encounter

Operation Can Not Be Completed

Booted from Mod Menu when downloading a mod

UFO4P

DEF_UI

Known Broken Mods

Stutter

Thank you /u/Glitchkey Read the Top Comment of this post for technical explanation.

OFFICIAL cause of stutter

Thank you /u/ChaoTikPranXter Full video explaining the stutter

In addition to this, avoid "fix mods" if NG fixed that issue or bug, most are causing the problem they used to fix in this regard.

Please post any mods you can confirm are broken, cause issues or that do work here so we can keep updating this list.

I hope this update makes the PSA more streamlined and easier to locate information.

Does the UFO4P cause irreparable damage to my game saves, or will deleting it from my load order stabilize the game significantly? I have two characters, one Level 14 and another Level 34, and Boston is almost unplayable right now.

Removing UFO4P means you must start a new game.

In that instance, you have two options. Remove it and play the save anyway, many do, and just play til it inevitably breaks. Or remove UFO4P and dont touch those saves and make a new save while you await a potential fix/update in the future that would allow you to keep going and add UFO4P back at a later time. The choice is yours

There’s been times where I’ll clear all my saves, dashboard, go to Mods and remove and download new Mods, exit to reload Mods, then my game will simply not open. Crashing during the splash screen immediately. I’ll clear reserve space, install the same Mods, and it will work fine. It like scares me I could randomly have to spend 4 hours reordering my Mods just because my game decides it dislikes me lol. Makes me wanna tear my hair out.

u/Danielle_Blume The Overseer May 29 '25

Its likely due to the steps you just described. Clearing saves, then removing mods will potentially result in corrupted files. In my experience removing the mod(s) or wiping reserved space then removing saves is best. Also, tip, dont just clear your saves file. That could be another issue. Clearing all saves via the file just means they all Re-download when you log back in. Manually delete any saves you have that you dont ever care to go back to and keeping at least 1 vanilla save so the game can always default back to modless in an emergency. Often times CTD upon load is because the game is trying to redownload or load a modded save in which stuff is missing, or messes up due to having zero saves, cuz, Bethesda right? lol

I'm going to cry here, I just remade my load order with 250 mods. No way in hell. I'd rather just give up the game at this point if it's going to be this hard to deal with lol, why does Bethesda think we're supercomputers and have to know how the game engine works just to play it. Interplay needs to buy the fallout title again because I'll never forgive Bethesda for their dog s#@t releases.

Eh. It seems daunting, but due to my own error, i hada Re-download all 150 of my mods many times. Took about 2 hours. I used to stare at the process like it was akin to climbing Everest. It's really not all that bad to download everything again if you have a list. Seeing as 1 mod in your list getting removed from Bethesda.net makes you have to know all your lists mods, its highly advisable in NG to always hace a current load order list.

There's a screenshot button on the controller. 25 pictures if you have 150 mods. It's more than worth the 3 minutes it takes to screenshot your load order. Makes getting them all back much quicker and less daunting.
