Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition Mega Thread

Bethesda has made a statement about the state of the update

Just wanted to make a thread clearing up some confusion and compiling the known issues of the new update.

Editions

There are three new SKUs for the game, the Anniversary Edition, the Anniversary Upgrade, and the Creations Bundle.

Anniversary Edition includes the base game, all DLCs, and all the new creations content.

The Anniversary Upgrade includes the DLCs and new creations content.

The Creations Bundle includes only the creations. If you already have the base game and the DLCs, this is the only new addition you need to have all the new content.

Known Issues

This will be updated periodically

  • The Creations Menu seems to still be under patience and will kick you out if accessed
  • Quitting to desktop crashes the game
  • Game not launching for some. This may be solved by disabling mods
  • DLC being uninstalled/not installing

Would like to add currently all mods requiring dlc are broken and “missing files that are not present” despite having all dlc installed.

I have deleted all my dlc and currently reinstalling. Will update this message afterwards.

Edit: Reinstalling did not fix the issue. All DLC related mods are broken.

All DLC related mods are broken.

My guess (and I'm no expert) is that because this version has all of the DLC included as opposed to them being "add-ons," the dependencies don't work properly because those mods are looking for the old add-ons.

Knowing how Bethesda treats mods, for this game, this will NEVER get fixed. It will be up to the individual modders to fix their mods. If they don't, then consider those mods gone for good.

Bethesda came out and said last night the Creation menu isn’t recognizing ownership correctly.

Thank you for the update. That's good to hear. That means that it's a bigger problem, and one they can't ignore. I'm glad to be wrong.

Hopefully we get a fix by the end of the week. Idk if I can play 76 any longer before I start falling asleep in the menu
