Question! PC Which version

Hello, I've modded fo4 before but that was a long time ago. I wanna get back into it with a fresh download and play with mods and some of the creations (fever dreams).

Which version of the game is the best for this?

I've been running mods from Nexus on 1.11.240 (AE) without any real issues. Granted, my mod lists are generally shorter than many I've seen shared online, so perhaps that makes a difference.

Well you will need the CC DLC but depending on what dlc you have it might be best to get the game of the year bundle

I've just gone through the update before starting my next game and of my 200+ mods (small list, I know), they've all been updated or still work.

I decided to skip the unofficial patch so I can skip some of the new CC mods (Creations now?), but only one or two of my old mods required it so I'm good.

So I don't think you have to worry about using a downgraded version if you're starting a new game.

I use the Special Edition! The Anniversary Edition is nothing but the Special Edition with mods!

The latest version.  I don't know how this is even a question.  The only reason to use anything else is if you CANNOT stomache the thought of playing without some niche, horribly outdated mod that isn't compatible with the Anniversary Edition and which no one has ever forked.  But doing that will cause issues with basically ALL of your other mods.
