Fallout 4 next-gen update is being removed by fans with mods – Explained
Since the next-gen update went live on Fallout 4 on 25th April 2024, fans have been quick to point out its flaws. The most glaring of them all has got to be that the update stopped most mods working.
Now, though, thanks to those same eager Fallout fans, two new mods have been released that aim to reverse the situation, remove the next-gen update, and get all of those mods back working again.
Over on Nexus Mods, two of the most popular Fallout 4 mods in recent days have been those which claim to remove or bypass the next-gen mod.
First up, we have the Fallout 4 Downgrader by modder zerratar.
As per the mod’s description, download the Fallout 4 Downgrader to “restore your game’s mod compatibility”. It quickly reverts “Fallout 4 to its pre-next-gen version to continue using mods that uses F4SE and Buffout”.
The Fallout 4 Downgrader has been downloaded nearly 50,000 times (as of writing), and has over 500 endorsements from Nexus Mods users.
What’s more, it’s “available in two versions to suit your set-up”.
Download the Fallout 4 Downgrader mod from Nexus Mods.
