Modded Fallout 4 on Xbox After Next Gen Update - Let's Rebuild Sanctuary

[@stevensauer5597]

Thanks for the shout out. For what it's worth, Gruffydd is a Welsh name that is roughly pronounced "Griffith". :) It's good to know that the update didn't break my mod. No reason it should have, since it just adds objects, but still good to know.

[@stevensauer5597]

*sigh* Specifically switched to my Gruffydd account to comment so it wouldn't look like it was some rando, and KZbin, in its infinite wisdom, switched me to this. In case you didn't get it from the initial post, this is Gruffydd, author of the Gruffydd's Signs and Posters mods.

[@MoveTheMouse]

@@stevensauer5597 an excellent addition to the game. Thank you!

[@sniperwolf111111]

Why’s nobody commenting on the fact that we can’t play with mods offline now? The game literally disables every single one in your load order when you aren’t connected to the internet, essentially forcing you to update/risk losing the mods you enjoy.

[@sniperwolf111111]

You can on the pc version, you can on ps5, but they’ve just fucked us series x users into forced constant connectivity, for an exclusively single player game…

[@sniperwolf111111]

I had my load order set just the way I liked and planned to keep the game offline and not update - I was happy with the mods I had + the 60 fps boost mode, albeit at a compromised 1080p. Unfortunately hand was forced as the instant the update went through, Microsoft pulled fps boost mode from their end. And it just felt terrible at 30 fps with high input lag on top of that. Bathesda are shoddy, and they don’t care about their players. They just want to force you into being always online and up to date so they can push their atrocious overpriced creations onto you when there’s free mods 1000 x better.

[@sniperwolf111111]

5 guns which should have been included in the base game to begin with!?! Amazing!!! A base game gun that behaves in identical fashion but it’s spray painted camouflage!? For 10 dollars?! So cool Bathesda, take my money. If you’re gonna rip us off at least find some good mods/modders, why do they always add the most ridiculous and useless ones to the creations store?

[@johnsimmons8832]

That's the truth are they working on a fix for us or does nobody care lol @sniperwolf111111

[@sniperwolf111111]

Unfortunately I doubt it… Would be a very easy fix and it’s been over a month. Would’ve happened already. I think if enough people complained they’d address it, but most players are so used to being online all the time that they prob haven’t and won’t even notice. Until servers shut down/something else goes wrong. Why have all my mods disappeared!?!? I think those of us who rarely sign into live are in the minority these days, and so there’s little incentive for Bathesda to fix it. And tbh I think these companies prefer we’re always online, even in single player games they’d profit from it, even if it’s purely an accurate player count to base future decision making off 🤷‍♂️

[@Makoto03]

I'm so happy that Bethesda added modding to the console versions of Fallout. I wish more games would do that as well. I mainly play consoles but the modding aspect has always intrigued me about PC. So it was cool to finally experience it, even at a more limited capacity.

[@TheKPDX]

WOW! I’ve been playing with going back to Fallout 4 but waited until after the Next Gen update. I downloaded alot of game mods that reportedly work last night but I think I’ll start over. This was a wonderful tutorial for someone only passingly familiar with mods on the Xbox. I was considering switching to my PC but I really like playing on the console with our Series X & 65” OLED. THANK YOU

[@lmofficial7244]

The name of the mod creator (or whoever ported it) works pretty well to find specific mods on console

[@joelg8004]

S.c.a.p. Is great! Finally getting rid of leafs and the jungle gym in Sanctuary. Wish it had a toggle though.

[@unknownnative5670]

Appreciate the breakdown for someone new to modding. This really helps as i want to mod my survival game and make it unforgiving. I hope i see more.

[@Corbeau-bk6jb]

THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE SETTLEMENT BUILDING AND COULDN’T FIGURE OUT WHERE TO FIND PLACW ANYWHERE. You are a true lifesaver.

[@ThePsychoPuppy]

As somebody new to Mods and to Fallout games in general, i would like to say great video, easy to follow, easy to understand, I'm a new Subscriber and looking forward to learning about settlement building via Mods.

[@Mac87Paddy]

Nice job fella, couple points you mention, you don’t see other people mention great job. Definitely I’ll 2nd that, if you search a mod and it don’t come up, but you remember something in the description type that instead people. Nicely done video very informative, me personal I’m having issues with S.c.a.p and anything that touches npc’s on Xbox.

[@leeward9487]

Absolutely a great video I cabt wait for the next episode great work with so much detail keep up amazing work ❤

[@blockmasterscott]

Cheat Terminal is pretty mandatory for me. I use that all the time.

[@Anthrax_kta]

00:25 the flamingo with the colonial hat is top tier 🤣🙌🏼

[@Papaswing71]

Dude, you're the best much appreciated. I was getting stressed with my Mods 😆 🤣

[@niccolemanz]

Best way to search for mods on xbox is use the mod authors name, if you know it (if the guide video on KZbin you are using lists it)

[@penglingwhisperer3382]

I did a clean install for the new update and ended up with the 0gb space for mods bug. Then my game crashed twice within the first 10hrs. I’m desperate for a new playthrough but its feeling like a slog to get there. I’m going to have to uninstall and reinstall again and hope the mod space comes back.

[@nathansantana7055]

It's generally not advisable to use scraping mods. The game loads up entire groups of structures and objects bound together in what is called precombines. Disabling/deleting will break precombines and cause instability in your games. On the pc precombines can be repaired after scraping, but the xbox doesn't have this luxury. I recommend using mods that make some textures invisible like No ugly plants and more-amber1019.

[@MoveTheMouse]

I hope all are familiar with the risks of modding in general, that same risk exists in base Fallout 4 on Xbox. I've lost multiple save games to corruption on unmodded Fallout 4 on Xbox. I expect nothing less from modded Fallout. One character had 13 days of playtime. That was a punch to the gut. I just want to build and simply hiding some things won't do the trick. But appreciate the risks of messing with precombines. FYI Creation Kit tools can regenerate precombines for XB1 and PC but NOT PS as these are counted as external assets and blocked by Sony. But obviously that's beyond the intended audience here.

[@eshapena5203]

There's scraping mods you can use that doesn't break precombines as well.

[@nathansantana7055]

@@eshapena5203 I heard that sts may work but I can't confirm. Clean my settlement redux is the goto on pc but the maker of the mod stated on his nexus page that the 1 on xbox causes random crashes and advised not to use. The other reason I stopped using scrap mods long ago was because some crash your game when entering the vault from the dlc. I tried to use the popular 1s back in the day, but I couldn't get into the vault with them active in my LO.

[@eleanornelson5810]

STS works pretty well. Be sure to use the correct DLC or no DLC version.

[@danielthomas990]

thank you thank you so much, there are somany mods that i wanted to get thank you very much

[@unknownnative5670]

Cool. I aint never used mods and i want to spice up my survival mode playthroughs now with this next gen update. Git a series x and i want to try sone mods out but im abit weary using mods cause i dont want to break my xbox lol. So please gelp a new mod user out man ❤

[@xobeci3372]

The S.C.A.P mod isn't letting me scrap everything. It's letting me scrap corpses which is a bonus, but things like buildings isn't working. Followed your video to the letter.

[@MoveTheMouse]

Are you scrapping Sanctuary houses? It should let you scrap all of those. But not everything is scrap-able at other settlements.

[@xobeci3372]

@@MoveTheMouse Yeah, I was. I worked it out. I had a heap of other mods, none that do anything with scrapping. I moved SCAP to the very bottom and now it's works perfectly.

[@sectorsecurity4701]

I just want a working T-65 power armor mod that doesn't require other mods.

[@RobbieXanatos]

Is the cheat terminal even available anymore? I had it installed before the next gen update but now it's no longer there. I can't seem to find it to download in the menus either. Searching for this mod brought me to this video so hopefully someone has some info.

[@MoveTheMouse]

@@RobbieXanatos I'm using it. Try a Google search for the mod on Bethesda dot net and get the creators name. Search that in game instead of mod name. Bethesda search is broken.

[@RobbieXanatos]

@@MoveTheMouse Thanks! I actually found it a different way simply by going to "most popular" and selecting the "All Time" filter instead of Daily or Weekly and it was the first option.

[@foxjames69]

Is there any achievements re-enabler mods for console? would love to play the unofficial patch and still have cheevos enables

[@ChaoticSixXx]

Can i ask why you're using S.C.A.P instead of Scrap Everything? It's been a staple in my LO for years, so I'm just curious if there's a difference.

[@MoveTheMouse]

It's the most compatible from my testing but if it's still working for you after the Next Gen Update, stick with it.

[@ChaoticSixXx]

@MoveTheMouse ah okay, I just wasn't sure if there was a difference between the two that wasnt obvious at first glance, but if they do the same thing.. don't fix what ain't broke, as they say.

[@xKAIOWAx]

my favorite sanctuary mod have serious problems after next gen update, Sanctuary Estate Clean Version =( after did all steps he works perfectly but only one time, when you leave sanctuary and try back with fast travel, game freeze and crash =(

[@DeimisVc-ee9mp]

Bruh now I can't add mods from website cuz I try Xbox one mods on my series s and doesn't work I used to play on xbone but I upgraded and bam can't use mods

[@Starkweather133]

No UCO? It used to be a must for me

[@MoveTheMouse]

I just need the building flexibility first, everything else is a nice to have. But I'll check it out.

[@seanwaller5241]

Have you tried ECO I think it's a good alternative to UCO

[@tootz1950]

So you can d/l mods at any time during the game or only at the beginning?

[@MoveTheMouse]

Depends. It can work both ways.

[@tootz1950]

@@MoveTheMouse Okay. Thanks.

[@disciple1381]

Am i the only one that cannot see mods. I download them they do not show in library.

[@MoveTheMouse]

Don't worry about library. Look for the "Load Order" button and check there. The library and favorites are inaccurate at best.

[@Carlinferno]

Could you please do a video on sim settlement 2 I’m having loads of trouble to even get it working

[@MoveTheMouse]

Not sure if that's working post next-gen update but I will put it on the list.

[@Carlinferno]

@@MoveTheMouse ahh maybe that’s why I’m having issues trying to get it to work on Xbox series s 😂 thanks

[@MoveTheMouse]

It's why I tested all these mods for over 24 hours of gameplay before posting the video. A lot of mods aren't working after the next-gen update. And Xbox mods definitely get updated less than their PC counterparts on Bethesda.net or Nexus. Mods that adds things to the game like objects are less prone to error than mods that change behaviors like SimSettlements. It's why I'm focused on building settlements for now.

[@Carlinferno]

@@MoveTheMouse managed to get sim settlement 2 working now had to download the workshop framework but the one I had was not the correct one it was a script mod but have got the right one now and omg am I having fun right now I’ve had no crashes yet played 2 hours on Xbox series s so I think it could definitely be a one to look at , thanks for the replies too appreciate that I hope you bring out more next gen fallout content!

[@supertome27]

I’m sorry, but where is your mod list for your visuals? Are you really telling us that fallout will look like your video on series X with no graphics mods installed? Please provide your list of visual mods. Thanks.

[@MoveTheMouse]

The full list of mods is in the description. I'm not using any other mods in this video. I've added USO since then, but that's just more objects and not anything to do with graphics..

[@mikepage2709]

I like to know is why my fallout 4 go off all the time I do have 7 mods on it. Be for it play all the time but now all it does is go off

[@RSSmithy]

When you install mods do you have to start a new game?

[@MoveTheMouse]

Some mods it's best to load into new game first even if you are modding existing game. Backup saves first either way! But the mods I use you should at least load into a game and save once before loading an existing save.

[@RSSmithy]

Thanks man new to all this. Video was a big help have a sub 👍

[@ThePsychoPuppy]

I cannot get Do It Yourshelf to work, no matter what I try. I've gone into the Pip-Boy menu and turned both menus on, but it still doesn't show up as a build option. Any suggestions ? ** Do I turn both menus on or just one of them ? Static and/or Container ? **

[@MoveTheMouse]

Turn both on and you'll find DIY at the end of the furniture section. Even if you have other mods like USO that rearrange the menu, check the stand furniture option and scroll right.

[@ThePsychoPuppy]

@MoveTheMouse cheers, mate, found it. Now, to try and understand how to use all of this stuff 😁😁

[@Lit_Hot_takes]

On Xbox Series X 'Place Anywhere' cannot be found.

[@MoveTheMouse]

try searching for "place objects in red zones" you can't find it by name but you can find it with that search. Should be the only result.
