About this mod

These scripts automate the process of reverting the Next Gen update which broke many mods (mainly due to using Script Extender). The game will be on version 1.10.163.0.0, the latest pre Next Gen version.

Usage

  • make sure you have a clean installation of Fallout 4 (except you know what you are doing) The scripts will take care of content that breaks the game after downgrading. Your modded game should be fine afterwards and work as intended (except your mods modified existing game files in order to work).
  • download and extract the archive to a local drive with enough free space, as you will essentially download the entire game (~40GB without HD textures, ~90GB with HD textures)
  • Run the following script first (double-click on it), enter your Steam credentials and enter 'y' if you want to download the HD textures, too. You can ignore the Windows warning when executing it, Windows never trusts downloaded scripts: 1_fallout_4_download_pre_next_gen.cmd
NOTE: the script will prompt you to enter your Steam password in order to access the depots on the Steam servers ! If you prefer to do the installation manually there is a short description about the process in the Posts section. Here is also an explanation of how to do this manually.

(If you use steam 2FA you will be prompted to enter the code during execution)

  • After executing the first script the old game files will be stored within the folder. You can keep the folder somewhere on your pc and downgrade the game with the second script as many times as you want
  • Afterwards you need to install the files, just use the second script by right-clicking on it and running it as administrator: 2_fallout_4_install_pre_next_gen.cmd
  • When finished everything should be set up and updates should be disabled (`D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\appmanifest_377160.acf` file attributes set to `Read-Only`)
