Pick one, Creation Club downloads OR mods, don't use both.Ī: The resources below will assist you in building a functional LO. Creation Club downloads are still mods, they were just approved and made available for money so you can play with some mods and still receive achievements. I am not 100% sure why, but I believe it has to do with the gaming trying to get mod info from two different places, just like with saving to an external drive.

It causes huge issues when playing a modded game and will cause frequent CTD's and corrupt save files. Creation Club is known for causing CTD's even when playing unmodded.

Q: Is it ok to use Creation Club downloads if I am playing a modded game?Ī: No. Install the game + any DLC to your internal hard drive and play without your external storage plugged in. For this reason, it is best practice to unplug your external drive before you go to install OR play any modded game. It seems very random, sometimes it happens soon, other times you get 120+ hours into a playthrough and you come back to no mods suddenly. It is not a question of IF, it is a question of when.

So having your game installed on an external storage device, and having the mods always install internally, means that at some random point down the road, your mods will disappear. Mods cannot be saved or transferred to an external device. When playing ANY modded game on your console like Fallout 4, Skyrim etc, it is not recommended to use an external storage device to store your game. Q: Is it safe to install Fallout 4 on my external hard drive? Ī: No. ~ Welcome to Fallout 4 Mods ~ Modding FAQ
