Bethesda Warns of Fallout 4 Mod Changes Before Anniversary Edition Release

Bethesda recently announced significant updates for Fallout 4 ahead of the highly anticipated Anniversary Edition release. Set to launch on November 10, 2025, this edition celebrates the game’s 10th anniversary with a host of new features and content.

Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition Details

The Anniversary Edition will include:

• Six official add-ons
• Over 150 pieces of Creation Club content

This new content will be accessible through a brand new in-game Creations menu, enhancing the experience for players on all platforms, including PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.

Mod User Advisory

In conjunction with the update, Bethesda issued an important advisory for mod users. From November 6 to 10, Fallout 4 mods will undergo maintenance, rendering them and the Creation Club offline.

During this time, players will still be able to adjust mod load orders and play the game. However, Bethesda recommends disabling any mods that modify the main menu screen to prevent potential issues post-update.

Gameplay and Performance Improvements

Alongside the mod changes, Bethesda revealed notable gameplay enhancements:

• Fixed VATS hit chances for consistent accuracy across platforms
• Prevented targeting enemies through walls without the Penetrator perk
• Improved overall performance with better handling of visual creations

Additionally, the update addresses stability issues, particularly regarding crafting stations on ultrawide monitors, and ensures improved support for these display setups.

New Features in the Creations Menu

The in-game Creations menu will facilitate access to both professional developer content and user-generated mods. Key features of the update include:

• UI and HUD scaling for ultrawide displays
• Resolution detection to prevent launch crashes

Future Content and Expansions

The Anniversary Edition will include six major expansions, notably:

• Far Harbor
• Automatron
• Nuka-World
• Contraptions
• Vault-Tec
• Wasteland Workshop

Fans can look forward to unique additions, such as themed weapons, power armor, and interactive NPCs voiced by the original actors.

Platforms and Nintendo Availability

Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition will be accessible on:

• Xbox Series X and S
• Xbox One
• PlayStation 5
• PlayStation 4
• Steam and PC

Additionally, the game is expected to debut on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026, marking its first entry into the Nintendo console market.

Bethesda looks forward to enhancing the Fallout 4 experience and appreciates the community’s patience during this transition period.
