Unfortunately with the upcoming FO4 patch in a few days, a lot of those mods are gonna be broken for a few weeks/months. Bad timing by Bethesda on that front.
The show caused me to finally buy FO4, and so I immediately hopped onto Nexus and downloaded the highest-rated mod collection for the game. It has over 700 mods, so something tells me I won't actually be playing much of the game for a while yet. (I wouldn't deign to play a modern Bethesda game without mods.)
What i did with Skyrim was setting the update option in steam to only update when i launch the game. But then only launch the game with the script extender.
Nowadays you can pick a collection and install a hundred mods without having to worry about compatibility, someone else already figured it out! I think that’s worth using vortex
You're gonna have to watch that mod count. I had to axe a bunch of my mods because the game kept crashing every few minutes due to scripts and visual stuff
That's what I thought when I saw the number of mods in that pack, but after a bit of tweaking (a few mods that cause crashing in Linux) it's been quite stable. I'm only about 10 hours in though.
I was about to install and play, but now I'm waiting. I have ancient mods that still work, but I can live without them. I'm mostly concerned with newer mods, which generally have active support from the authors.
