Your lucky your not doing this on my mods or else I'd ban you from ever using any of my mods in an instance and make you create a second account and break Nexus terms and conditions or begone forever.
We do this as a community service, they're free, stop being obnoxious children.
People b&@*$ about nexus as a platform, not realizing its the new-age community making the space toxic as hell that ruin it and make it so we remove all our stuff off the platform and go elsewhere or just disable comments and force you to post somewhere where its harder to access because the sheer MINIMAL inconvenience of just /clicking/ a discord link is too hard for you types, and why your load orders are always broken and filling bug reports with false-reports wasting our time from fixing and testing to find the real ones.
I see a lot of whining and very little self-awareness on both sides. On one hand, you’ve got new users who don’t fully understand how modding works—they get impatient, install things without reading, don’t know English, can’t navigate forums, get frustrated, and end up asking for help badly or demanding like modders are their employees. That’s obviously wrong. But on the other hand, you’ve also got a bunch of old-school modders who act like untouchable celebrities, hiding behind the “this is free” argument to justify being arrogant or outright rude. Nobody’s forcing you to make mods. If you choose to share them, you’re also choosing to deal with a diverse public, with different levels of understanding. Saying “the new community is toxic” is either selective memory or pure hypocrisy. What, you think modders and users 10 years ago didn’t break games, didn’t cry in forums, didn’t spam authors with dumb requests? Where do you think all those tutorials and guides came from? From old-school users making the exact same mistakes—or worse. And about Discord? Sure, some people are lazy and don’t even want to click a link, but let’s not act like every Discord is this perfectly organized haven of information. Many are a confusing mess of vague rules, outdated instructions, and moderators who answer you with sarcasm or condescension. Of course that’s going to turn people away. Not everyone speaks fluent English either, and it’s easy to get discouraged when everything feels like a maze. Are there stupid users? Yes. Are there annoying, egotistical modders? Also yes. Is there general toxicity? Absolutely. But the problem isn’t the “new era”—it’s the internet in general. If you don’t want to deal with annoying comments, disable comments. If you don’t want to update your mod, just say so. But don’t go crying because your hobby—that you chose to share—comes with annoying interactions. It’s inevitable. Welcome to the internet. And let’s talk about that whole practice of downgrading games. Honestly? That’s another headache entirely. And here’s where it gets ironic—people complaining about broken mods due to updates are basically experiencing the same frustration I’ve had with downgrading. First it was Skyrim, now Fallout 4. Downgrading sounds like the perfect solution at first, but in my experience, it’s been way more of a hassle to try and find compatible mods for outdated versions than it is to just wait for mods to get updated. And guess what? Good mods almost always work better with updated versions of the game anyway. Sure, nowadays there are downgrade methods that preserve the features of new updates while keeping the old game’s integrity, but those methods took longer to develop than it took for most mods to simply be updated. That’s why I don’t buy the nostalgia argument anymore. And I’m sure most new users go through the same thing. It’s not just about impatience—it’s about practicality. Sticking to outdated versions just to keep your 10-year-old favorite mod working? Sounds more like stubbornness than a real solution. Both sides need to stop pretending they’re superior. New users should take responsibility, read, learn, and not expect everything on a silver platter. But old modders acting like bitter old rock stars who think they’re above criticism? Equally pathetic. Adapt or stay behind. That’s how it’s always been.
Fallout 4 is currently on new gen version so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MODDERS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.... please stop making new mods for old gen I and a lot of others don't want to have to downgrade just to use mods. and if you as modders insist on making a mod for old gen please make one for new gen as well ....Thank you.
There is a best of both worlds option where you can downgrade and use the archiver to keep the new game features. Youd just need the older F4SE mod files, but everyone kept those on their download pages
Would be nice. Now that (BCR) & (CHW) got updated for NG, it's really only like.... 1-2 authors who can't/won't update or else I'd be on NG, because the NG adjusts some occlusions or whatever and it makes downtown playable on my pc, even better than PRP.
This hasn't been updated for any of the Creations that came with NG has it? Because the power armor it comes with may as well be armor made of wet paper bags with DirectHit + Bastion, and I have Improved Hostile Factions which allows enemies to make use of weapons added in NG and the baseball launcher goes through any power armor, vanilla or creation, like it's not even there lol. I'm playing on a Downgraded version.
will this work for vr? vr has its own seperate version of the address library mod and this mod requires the regular version. im not sure if it will work with the vr edition..
