How Does LOAD ORDER Work In Fallout 4 (Xbox PS5 PC)

[@fridayrandommedia117]

I don’t understand shit about mods or load order, and sometimes I’m confused about the technical jargon so thanks for the breakdown in the caption! That helped me a lot.

[@jonny5777]

So helpful thank you 🙏 great to see the actual mods too as I’m a visual leaner. I have to say since the update and my nuked mods my game is running so much better 🤞

[@GoingMyOwnWay917]

Great timing on the video since I'm starting a new load order for Fallout 4 on Xbox Series X and thank you.

[@brunomonteiro7788]

Gotta say, been strugglin to made a load order for me.. but i think i did finally find the one, lmao, i didnt want to lose that lore friendly aspect, but wanted to add more to the game, so i added service rifle mod, ranger armor, ranger sequoia, and AMR plus attachments version 1, só i would see more guns, and give me a reason to use them. I pretend to make a enclave run this time, since they added new content, so ive added America rising 2 and some patchs for it for compatibility to the new content. For graphicsl, ive put enhanced lights and fx, vivid AIO, nac x and Clarity, and also some minor mods to help improve graphics, and hardcore Health overhaul, so the combat Will always be punishing. Gotta say, im lovin it!

[@coffeecovers2024]

Well explained.. This should help a lot of people out there who struggle..

[@adrianetornetto8737]

This was extremely helpful. I became so used to having load oder done when on PC using vortex that I forgot the generally correct order of things. This video couldn't have come out at a better time. Thank you 😊

[@omega9077]

I'm new to pc. Sorry for my ignorance. What's vortex?

[@Jnd23]

@@omega9077sorts mods in place for you

[@blackdraggn]

@@omega9077 Mod organizer, and I believe it uses LOOT to sort your load order for you. But I can tell you that LOOT does what it wants and does not follow a structure like the one in the vid as far as I can tell.

[@baptismos8969]

Vortex doesn’t follow the recommended practices for Skyrim and I’m assuming for F4. My series X Skyrim load order runs better than my PC’s, i.e., no mods suddenly not working.

[@aaronvasseur6559]

If the mod does not tell you to place it somewhere don’t worry about it it’s not the cause of crashing that’s just how fallout 4 and Skyrim are designed they are unstable

[@ryanrich7133]

Yea no, that’s not true lol. Especially for skyrim, u absolutely HAVE to place things in “groups” or risk frequent crashes. It’s the whole reason why ppl made google docs showing the best positions for mod genres

[@Darren_117]

No? Certain mods need to be placed last or first. This is a known fact. Placing mods randomly is what causes issues.

[@lukekeevill9024]

This is very helpful. I've been doing alot of trial and error sorting with my LO and this video has assisted alot. Thankyou very much for sharing your expertise 👍

[@Ed-ealmighty]

All this could be solved if Bethesda would just add a mod load organizer for the mod pages on console the same way they added one for creation club content

[@Robert-yt9pq]

Yeah, too bad consoles don't have LOOT, like pc version does.

[@primrose97]

This was extremely helpful. Thank you!!!

[@christiancoleman5870]

I was about to give up on modding my game until i watched this now everything is working fine thanks👍

[@xLunarGaming]

Glad I could help

[@thekindaprogamer9090]

I think I accidentally made the best load order, because my game literally doesn't crash, and I play it all day

[@Kensterrrrr]

Yo.. same here. Crazy

[@PAINBODEE]

could you summarise it at all?

[@deante4144]

Lucked out gotta say

[@Verschal]

For precombine fixes like: rebuild al in one or Previsibines Repair Pack. I load them as last (i don't use scrap mods, so you might need to swap those two) Edit: Did some testing. Previs/precombines second to last , scrap mods last

[@Verschal]

For stuff like "People life in xyz" it alters a world or interior space, just like a new settlement or player home. it sometimes remakes precombines for that area as well, putting it as late as possible impo

[@head_shot_gamer_2380]

I’m on Xbox I was stoned so I half assed watching it but it still legit fixed my load order haha

[@Fiftyblessings]

legendary video, description is godsent and super easy to follow

[@MatthewCantrill-w3b]

So can we have your FULL load order as each description in your videos is different?

[@davidoblinger1241]

This video has helped me many time, I very much appreciate this help. 👊

[@CarsonFrost]

I downloaded a bunch of mods, graphic specifics without really looking at the descriptions and after enabling/disabling mods got the best looking game but now that I moved the mods I cannot for the life of me get the same look back. If I just uninstall the mods and reinstall them without moving them should they just revert to their original order (how they were upon first installment)

[@xlAnimosty]

I’m on Xbox and am struggling with random frame drops and stutters that last for up to 5 seconds of freezing, and extremely low FPS (15ish) in the fens outside diamond city and Boston. Heavily modded. Anyone else experience this?

[@Spida37]

Yep even modless games are suffering with this apparently. Mainly when entering new cells, leaving/entering Sanctuary, Concord etc. Some have said that not having the Unofficial Patch active helps but u still get the mini freezes, yep Todd strikes again.... 🙄

[@sleepparalysis1284]

Same problem on Xbox sx and I'm playing on survival mode.. that feeling when game crashes in the middle of the quest 😅

[@xlAnimosty]

@@sleepparalysis1284 I’ve had minimal crashes. I’ve narrowed my poor performance down to the building and shadow textures but using optimized textures hasn’t seemed to make a noticeable difference. Although my entire mod list is dedicated to settlement building

[@baptismos8969]

The unofficial patch is definitely a root cause of the severe freezing on my X so it is gone after testing it. The unofficial patch doesn’t affect my PS5 which has very minor stuttering in certain areas.

[@ArchdemonX1X]

Yeah same here, so it's just the cells huh? And nothing to fix it. My real question is, this never happened before the update so what if someone made a mod to reverse the update? Then I could use all my mods without worry cus it never crashed before. Like 15 years and then bam. Update f date 💀

[@Hugo_Golden]

thanks, really helpful. what about stuff like game configuration menu and mod configuration menu? and what about stuff like easy to see glowing bobbleheads/loot detectors, would that stuff go in HUD/UI?

[@Brando216]

I'm so confused on why why every video has a completely category placement, I'm very in experienced with this

[@Akatosh-2008]

Can't start a new game nor load any saves excellent

[@EpochlovesKidIcarus]

I still cannot tell where "Nuclear Winter" has to go

[@eximiousr5614]

rly hope you make a video on xbox mods but specfically modern weapons. i just got this game and really just wanna run around with a M4

[@FXIIBeaver]

Download the MK18 mod.

[@th3thatguy631]

It's not specifically an m4 but if you like a good variety of weapons, I'd recommend downloading "MUNITIONS" and picking and choosing various mods that's associated with Degenerate Dak, they're all very high quality for low memory. Currently I've got about 14 of these weapon mods for under 350gb

[@aaronvasseur6559]

Combined arms mod or modern combat mod Those give you modern weapons

[@FXIIBeaver]

@@aaronvasseur6559 modern weapons is bloated and eats up your space for other mods.

[@LyricBossYT]

Can somebody please answer? If i reorganize my load order do I have to start a new game or safe to keep playing?

[@blaumutze4755]

You dont have to start a new game, because you just changed the position of the mod. But be aware maybe some mods now conflict because you changed them. But if that happens just change the load order again.

[@colebrower1]

I had a load order working and tried a new mod then it wouldn’t open my save and I took it off and now it still won’t open my save. Tried to reorganize it and it’s not working still 😢

[@Spida37]

Aaand no matter what you do on Xbox youre still gonna have horrendous pauses everytime you enter a new cell, leaving Sanctuary? Games like "Ooh give me a couple of secs..." 300 metres down the road goin into Concord game like "Yep hang on a mo, let me get sorted..." Hopefully Beth will sort this out but im not holding my breath, seriously considering going back to Fo3 because at least that worked!

[@aaronvasseur6559]

That’s just a creation engine issue part of the game can’t be fixed

[@brittanyfarris7]

I wish I knew this before I deleted my whole load order🥲

[@exfranzskater]

What about animation mods? Where do they go in load order

[@Bertrumes_Shiney_Factory]

What is "everyones best friend" mod technically? Is it ai overhaul or...?

[@Robert-yt9pq]

It makes it so Dogmeat is not a companion. So, you can have a human npc and Dogmeat too. New Vegas and Fallout 3 are like that. But not in unmodded Fallout 4.

[@kevenmcgibbon6675]

anybody else having problems with the lair of the mechanist on PS5?

[@One_Without_Light]

Can someone help me understand what category, and where in the load order, mods like "People Live In - Roadside Pines Motel" belong? Mods that edit a vanilla location without any quest or npc edits.

[@guy-]

Just a wild guess but probably just above any settlement or location or faction mods

[@Blutgang]

I always have trouble with some of the body and clothes mods. CBBE and some other ones. Somehow some of the female clothes is putting a like nipple high up like at the clavicle and one side of body and arm look burned.

[@999prince8]

Where should I place a like small tweaks and things that don fit any of those categories

[@logankay1393]

Why is the cheat menu or terminal on ps4 not showing

[@gadzhev79]

Can you show your full order with all mods on ? Ty

[@scottlenjenkins410]

I have a negative 2 million bytes of free space as well. I don't dare change my mods I'm afraid of getting screwed out of space.

[@liamwarkentin5913]

That’s fixed now

[@Tjred12]

How were u able to download the green in the commonwealth 3.0 mod it wont let me see it whenever i search for it on xbox?

[@agewant4738]

I'm using a load order from your previous video but he crash in the last mission of automatron entering the facility

[@user-ns5yj3lx2r]

Say there a skin to replace regular deathclaw skin. Will that go to character replacers?

[@FXIIBeaver]

What are your lighting settings?

[@forcetz]

Can someone explain the -2 gigabytes of free space I have in the mods, like where did those -2 gigabytes go 😭

[@Robert-yt9pq]

What? 2gb is the limit (total size of all mods installed) there is nothing to understand. That's the limit. Why the size limit? I don't know.

[@forcetz]

@@Robert-yt9pq Yeah I know that, what I meant is that I got this strange glitch that said I had -2 billion bytes which I think is equivalent to the 2 gigabytes. It’s on my part I worded it badly.

[@ekkyspryyd9548]

Workshop sttlement blueprint not working need a file s required and how you managed that bcoz mine are limited only 2gb space

[@ArchdemonX1X]

I only have 15 mods 6 in which I Don't use but want to later on. But I have a first Gen xbox one. My game is crashing so bad. Could I just need an upgrade to an X or S xbox? Or is my load order to much

[@S1gnTh3Pet1t10n]

Is there any mods that replicate UFO4P without DLC?

[@tim3tRav3l3RR60]

Would a mod that turns a faction location into a settlement or put a work bench in a faction location be a settlement change or a faction change?

[@Pumaartefakt]

Settlement change, it does not alter the faction itself, it Just adds a new settlement

[@revivalofnutrient]

Anyone know if any HUD mods work on this update?

[@ByNowYouKnow]

How do you open the mod menu it just keeps saying operation could not be completed

[@brycewagner1620]

If you’re on Xbox clear your reserved storage. It will delete all your mods currently downloaded though.

Dumb question, i cannot find green in the commonwealth 3.0 only the 2.9, how do i look for it?

[@killjoy5934]

I dont think its been updated on xbox yet. I used a sbtle green mod. it added some green instead of all the green like green in the coonwealth. Some regrowth but not so much it looks like the bombs never dropped.

[@FXIIBeaver]

They really broke the search function. So try to use words that correlate to the same thing. I have 3.0 but it took me 2 hours to find it.

It works but it probably adds new stuff since the author is a dick and no one should use his shit

Very true

If there is no right load order then how does one understand how it works?? You guys are the ones complaining to mod authors about broken mods when you guys have absolutely no idea how mod load orders work.

And my game has not crashed no stuttering either
