ByThe biggest new feature in the long-awaited Fallout 4 (aside from customizable power armor) also happened to be one of the game's biggest disappointments. Yep, we're talking about settlements again, which has caused a serious love/hate (or just maybe hate/hate) relationship with Fallout fans.While a steady string of DLC over the last few months added in a ton of settlement options, it still overall didn't in the series.Where developers fail to deliver, modders step in to pick up the slack. If you've been hesitant to pick up settlement building or tried it and didn't care for the limited options, these mods will completely change your perception of how settlements can work.

Originally posted by:Same issues for some mods, but not sure if it's the same problem.Some of the mods not working for me are the Craftable Ammo mod, Craftable weapons mid, less sprint ap drain, customizable power core drain, homemaker, better generators, and quieter generators. They just don't work for a reason I don't know. I've got plenty of other mods working, but some mods I install just plain don't work.If youre running the beta patch, it will jack up some mods.I had the same issue with the ammo mod, until i swapped of beta patch. Now it works fine. Also make sure you actually turn on the.esp on the other tab.
It's worth noting upfront that using mods may not always have the desired effect, especially when combining several at once, and that anything you download is done at your own risk. However, a new save file is created when you restart the game after applying mods so your existing progress should be safe. Also be aware that due to the number of cheat mods available, Achievements and Trophies are disabled while using anything other than the vanilla version of Fallout 4.When you arrive at the mods section you'll see any you've previously downloaded in your library, followed by the most popular mods of the week, all time most popular, highest rated and newest additions. Keep scrolling down for a huge selection of subcategories from Animals to Worlds, or hit Square/X to search for a specific term you're looking for.Once you've chosen a mod, you can look through any attached screenshots and use the right stick to scroll down the file notes - this can contain important information about how to make the mod work properly so make sure you give it a read. If you're happy with what you see, hit the Download option to add it to your library.Now you need to sort out the Load Order of your mods, as some of them will override the effects of others and therefore need to be activated in the correct sequence. Hit Triangle/Y to enter the Load Order menu, then drag and drop your chosen updates into the right arrangement - most mods should tell you if they need to be loaded first or last in their file notes.After making your selections and exiting the mods section, you'll be prompted to reload your data files then returned to the main menu. Now all you need to do is load an existing game or start a new one and you're on the way to an updated gaming experience.And there you have it - your choice of Fallout 4 mods running directly on your console.

I've been reading around and from my knowledge it has something to do with the most recent update. I haven't been able to use any of my mods since I updated my nexus mod manager even with manual installs. Every work around I've tried hasn't work. Anyone know how to get mods working again?
Specifically texture replaces. The plugins appear to be all activated yet the mods appear to be disabled, texture mods seem to not work what so ever and I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to get around this issue.
First, DO NOT use the beta version unless you know what a beta version means.Turn OFF the Beta Participation on steam. Why did you turn it on in the first place if you don't know what a beta does?

It is for testing features that MAY be in a later release. It WILL have bugs. That is part of what a beta is - to let volunteers help find the bugs so they can be fixed.
If you turned it on - then you asked to be a guinea pig testing a known buggy version. One thing the beta does is disable mods so the testers will be using a vanilla game. This is not a bug, it is a part of the beta. Ok can you tell me exactly how to turn it off ( in simple-sophie language as i not the smartest cookie.) and also.
Is this going to ever effect my usage of MODS via Nexus or any future methods? I am always nervous about turning stuff off and not being able to ever successfully turn it back on when people later shout ' OMG you turned that off!!??' I honestly dont ever remember purposely accepting any ON switch for beta. I just simply installed Fallout 4 via steam and then followed Gophers advise via youtube on how to adjust the ini files to allow for modding. All this Beta stuff gives me headacheI dont wanna be anyones guniea-pig cries.
The beta is an option in steam. There is one switch for all of steam ( I think)How to enable or disable the Beta participation in SteamClose your game first, then open steamLook in the upper left corner for the 'Steam' tab and click on itIn the drop down menu, click on 'Settings'Under the Account ( should be the default tab) find Beta Participation.It will tell you if you are participating or notTo change click on the box labled 'Change.' Go to the bottom of that section and click on the OKThere seems to be a new FO4 version on steam today. I don't have a lot of info on it yet.
I'm not sure if it is a beta or not. If it is then if you do not have beta participation on - it will not update. If it is a non beta, it will automatically update and we may need a day or so to figure out a new work around for mods to work.
Right now as it stands i have found only ONE successfuly method for playing my Fallout 4 as it was fully modded before this darn update. Office toolkit 2.5 beta 5 5 beta 5. Its is as follows:(( First i went into the settings 'cog' at the top of NMM and in the general tab unchecked ' close Nexus Mod manger after game launch' )) then.1) Open NMM.You will see all the plugins unchecked.
(or maybe checked) anyways.2) Top top left of NMM you will see a tab ' Launch Fallout 4'.3) Click it once. This opens up a FO4 launch popup. When it does this, after a few seconds you will suddenly see all your plugins on NMM uncheck automatically.grrr.4) click the green Tick on the left and activate them all again.5) Now on the game launcher popup for Fallout 4 click PLAY.The game should run with all your MODS.Only downside so far is you have to do this each time you freshly launch NMM and Fallout 4 via steam.I am sure there are better ways to do this and i hope a fix soon but this clumsy method i use works for now.

I think the patch went out of beta and live today 12/7/15 Because no patch downloaded yesterday and the beta patch has been out for a week or so I think.This is now a live patch. We have to deal with it.
