Scroll back up and open the new folder you made 'Fallout 4 Backup EXE' right click and paste the Fallout 4 exe program into that folder. Next scroll down in the game folder until you find the Fallout4.exe (not the Fallout4Launcher!) you can tell the Fallout4.exe mainly by its size of 65mb. Make a folder in your Fallout 4 Game Folder entitled Fallout 4 Backup EXE This is located in SteamLibrary>steamapps>common>Fallout 4 on which ever drive you have Fallout 4 installed. First check in game to ensure that everything is working correctly. The next step is once you have gotten the updated version of F4SE and the updated versions of any mods which required it you are now ready to fix the problem. No sorry Todd Howard it is NOT required to update the game because you want to push more of the Creation Club Paid Mod Scam on the players on PC. As you can see from the above image at the time of this writing both My Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition are telling Me that updates are required. (Note I have the Steam Cloud turned off but you can have that on if you want) The important part is to set the game so it ONLY updates when you use the Steam LauncherĪs you use the F4SE loader through your Mod Manager Program, you avoid the game updating everytime there is an update available.

In the Properties Window that appears click on the Updates Tab and set yours to look like the following image.

Now find Fallout 4 and right click on the game and choose Properties in the popout menu. But I mentioned how to prevent it in the future right?įirst log into Steam then go to the Library Tab. If your script extender is already broken you will have to wait for F4SE to update on then get the updated version. Unless you take steps to prevent it in the future. Side Note if your are using SKSE64 for Skyrim Special Edition as well this SAME problem is going to effect you and you are going want to learn to do this now. The reason the Update broke your script extender is because each update makes changes to the Fallout.exe and it is going to happen everytime the game updates updates because of Creation Club. first order of business is to calm the hell down.
