    Loved this. Been using Vortex for 2 years now, but this definitely filled in the gaps. I STILL play Fallout 4! Thanks again to you and the modding community.

    So is fallout 4 script extender sized for next ten update? I’m say8mg because I want to buy fallout for pc to mod but heard F4SE was Brocken for next gen update
  • @human3504
    I wonder will you be doing this for other Bethesda games? Even though its the same process mostly so probably not.
  • @Yraxzo
    When I try to start up my game it just loads a black screen for a bit and then crashes, I made sure to have no yellow or red in the plugin section and rolled it back, im lost tbh...

  • @alainchabal7844
    Hello, I followed the tutorial but my game keeps crashing after I start moving in game. I ve tried to disable every mod except the F4SE and it keeps crashing (I have downgraded from the next gen update using your tutorial vid, and I have the correct F4SE version, for the pre next gen fallout 4 update) Does anyone have an idea what the issue could be ?

  • @theamazingjack3039
    I installed Fallout 4 and nexus on my storage drive. Is that the reason none of my mods are working?
