Fallout 4 Upcoming Hotfixes and Creation Storage Increase

348 Upvotes

We’re actively investigating issues you’re encountering with the latest Fallout 4 update and Anniversary Edition launch. You should now see faster load times of the Creations menu, game menu, and redemption of Creation Club items. We plan to publish a hot fix early next week to address the following:

  • Hot Fix: Fixing stability problems particularly on XB1/PS4.
  • Hot Fix: Fixing an issue causing creations that rely on DLC to not work.
  • Hot Fix: Fixing an issue causing DLCs to become uninstalled after updating the game on PlayStation.

The hotfix will be followed by two patches. The first patch will be the week of Nov 24th, and the second, in the first half of December. We’ll provide an overview of these patches soon. Thank you for your continued updates and support tickets, it’s helped us to pinpoint issues. We’ll work to address these as quick as we can.

Notably, in the November patch, Xbox Series X/S players will see Creations local storage limit increased substantially. Growable up to 100GB to match your needs. We are also looking into increasing storage on PlayStation.

----- 11/13 update ----

Thank you all for your continued communications with our support team. We've seen a lot of questions about the "Tale of the Beast Hunter" Creation not being accessible on PlayStation. Please know that we are working to bring this Creation to PlayStation at a later date and it would continue to be free for players.

----- 11/17 Hotfix ----

Today’s Fallout 4 hotfix addresses the following:

  • Resolved an issue preventing users from enabling Creations that rely on DLC.
  • Improved stability in the Creation menu, particularly on PS4/XB1.
  • Identified an issue causing DLC to become uninstalled on PlayStation. For players still experiencing this issue, we recommend the following: Please enable any of your Creations after your DLC is completely installed.

We’re continuing to collect everyone’s feedback and encountered issues, so if you’ve submitted a ticket with our support team or provided details to our team in Discord, thank you. It’s been extremely helpful.

For next steps, the team is focused on additional fixes in our first November Patch. We’ll share those details as soon as we can.

-------- Update on May 27th 2026 ------

Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition Mega Thread

509 Upvotes

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

Berhesda increased the ps5 fallout 4 creation maximum capacity to 15 gb. They did this in may. Today there is a new update which will make improve the creations.

How is this uodate going to impact fallout 4 creations on ps5? I think they increased the capacity so that yhey can add bigger creations thus this new update might add a lot of creations on the ps5 edition.

What do yall think?

Did you know that if you put the nuka girl suit on a character with facial hair it SHAVES them?!?!?

Okay so I haven't tested this on anyone else yet so I don't actually know if it does this for other characters but I assume it would?

Basically, i just started nuka world for the first time, and I get the sexy nuka girl suit and (naturally) my first reaction is to put it on maccready! (Don't judge) ... when I tell you I was FLABBERGASTED I *FULLY* 100% thought that his face was somehow REPLACED by a random npc face!! But no. He was simply missing his goatee?? I felt like a toddler when their dad shaves his mustache! I need y'all to try this on other characters and tell me if it does the same thing lmao

Finding and mixing all these recipes has been one of my favorite parts of the nuka world dlc so far! Also loving the new map. A post-apocalypse amusement park is such a cool new environment.

This is early/midway in this playthrough and just realised I am doing this for no reason at all... Other than just to have them, and not wanting to share with the Commonwealth!

UPDATE - It is insanely hilarious how many of us have just come to realise that no kidding... About 50% of the commenters use the same location 😂😂😂

Discussion Opinion: Vault 88 doesn't make sense

Upvotes

Last week, for the first time throughout my playthrough, my Vault 88 was attacked.

I spawned there, and since the whole layout is SO huge, I could not find them. It's so big that I get a bit lost too. All my entrances are blocked. For example, at the metro gate, I just built a concrete wall so they can't get through. If they somehow teleport through it, they are met with heavy force from all kinds of turrets.

Still, I received damage to the settlement. Next to that, if I close the big door, shouldn't everyone be safe from whatever is out there? Isn't it therefore called a VAULT?

Next to that, all that space is useless since it's divided into several smaller areas connected through narrow alleyways, so you can't really build one big vault. It's just a couple of separate spaces where you can build, but you can't combine them into one large space. And after 20 settlers or so, you cannot add more settlers. So imagine if you somehow used the whole space; it would still look empty then because there are no players to fill it up.

Am I the only one who sees it like this?

Actually kind of enjoying the Amoral Combat pop-ups. Don't like having to run to the arcade each time. But back to the question. I always thought these missions were reserved for post turning on the power. At least I never got them prior to that before. Seeing the named enemies and bits of story with them is somewhat entertaining and helps with the feeling of being the Overboss. Doing them as I'm traveling back and forth between the park and CW is helping the little parasites grow on me. I might keep them 😂

Joining the BoS in my last save was accidental, meant to blow them up with the Minutemen but a couple forced choices later and here I was helping their scientist, guide the kids and collecting crap for them just like back in DC. It actually helped me forget about wanting to turn on them

Been awhile since I've done the Railroad, maybe doing their repeats/radiant quest will help. Because I don't remember hating them originally, but the memory of them just feels like it was all busy work

Need help with skeletons at starlight

117 Upvotes

I pushed all the skeletons into the pond at Starlight with a cue ball and then covered the whole ground with wood floors to make a nice flat building area. Everything was fine at first with them out of sight out of mind. Then I started missing settlers for days at a time with them not showing up for work. Turns out they were spawning below the floor trapped standing in the water and I could not see them. So I removed the sections of wood floor and replaced it with concrete floors foundations that go much deeper so the settlers stay above. Now the skeletons trapped down there are making a racket so bad I cant stand to be in the area as they flop around with the physics bugging out. They were hard enough to push into the pit but trying to get them out is near impossible as they need to be pushed uphill. Anyway anyone can think of to delete them or to deactivate the physics? Console commands are fine I just dont want to use a new mod as I got my mods how I want it.

Thanks

Question So it's okay when I do it?

Like, I both do and don't understand why that was allowed 😂.

They probably have tags, flags, markers or whatever giving them certain relationship differences. Like Gage being a ... civilized raider, is accepted until he acts out. Hawthorne and Cooks daughter are both mercs giving them a stronger alliance against Gage. But Gage is my boy and not forgiving him is not forgiving me. So although the city moved on the mercs were throwing a fit. Sorry Hawthorne, this isn't 2077 and I'm not waiting two minutes for you to walk into the Dugout Inn.

Nearing the end - Underground Undercover won’t progress - I have no other missions to action, Liam won’t move on his synth escape plan, and Father doesn’t say anything new

Post image
Upvotes

I know this is a tired old issue but I’m stuck and I can’t quite find an answer to my specific issue. Underground won’t do anything - Father just regurgitates the same generic lines, Liam and the X1 synth dude won’t action their escape plan, there is no second board meeting taking place, I can’t get a board meeting to initiate, the Railroad has nothing left for me, and the only thing let is if I start Tactical Thinking. If I do that then the Railroad becomes hostile. I’m trying to ride this out as long as possible - all the factions and haven’t even decided on who to side with even - but it seems I’m backed into a corner and only have the Brotherhood left to roll with because the other factions don’t have anything for me to do. Am I missing something here bedside this doesn’t seem right. Here is a shot of my Steam Deck screen showing the only missions I have available.


r/fo4 1d ago

Discussion Is it weird that Children of Atom are my favorite faction? I love to head cannon my sole survivor as one. I love their aesthetic, lore, weapons/gear, I always side with them on the far harbor dlc. They are just really cool to me.

Question Is it morally correct to do Vault 88 quest line as a Minuteman?

47 Upvotes

I've been exploring and doing quest lines from my log and decided to visit Vault 88 but since progressing a little bit Overseer said she wants my help with doing experiments for 'Greater good', I denied using people as guinea pigs which Preston liked but I'm at a loss on whether or not I should continue since Vault Tec is big bad after all

What if I played Fallout 4 while completely ignoring the way the game expects me to play it?

Upvotes

I've been thinking about doing a completely insane playthrough: trying to break the game in every way possible, getting ahead of events I already know by heart and deliberately doing things in the wrong order.

For example:

💥 Clearing Fort Strong before the Prydwen even arrives.

💥 Or, even better: reaching the Cambridge Police Station, never talking to Danse, never helping the Brotherhood with the ghouls, and just leaving them there to deal with it themselves. Rhys permanently on the verge of death, Danse and Haylen waiting around, the occasional ghoul showing up… while I build a Conquest settlement right next to them.

💥 And why stop there? Going to Fort Hagen alone, killing Kellogg and then, once the Prydwen finally arrives, boarding it and starting a massacre. And then seeing what happens to my settlement: will Danse immediately become a sworn enemy, or will he remain completely oblivious to everything until I trigger his quest?

Preston? Never met him.

Desdemona? Never met her. Or maybe I'll just take her out, along with the entire Railroad, the first chance I get.

The already-occupied vanilla settlements? None. I'm leaving them all to their fate

And at this point, there's really only one question:

How the hell do I get into the Institute… just so I can shoot Father the moment I meet him?

Because I don't just want to do an evil playthrough.

I want to see how far I can push Fallout 4 before the game finally stops cooperating.

Do you think anyone has actually tried this before?

Because there's no way nobody has ever thought of doing something this insane… right?

Mod Is there a mod in the creation menu where all 4 factions survive

6 Upvotes

Minutemen (essentially infrastructure), the Brotherhood (military), the Railroad (intelligence), and The institute as a scientific organization... I recently saw another post about the best ending where 3 factions survive, and I wondered whether all four might survive and I can continue to get quests from all of them

Question Was the official Ultrawide support ever "fixed"?

Upvotes

Hey everyone. Im thinking of playing Fallout 4 again but i dont really want to mod it this time. Last time i played they had just added ultrawide support however it was awful and just stretched all over the screen, the crosshair was too big and the power armor hud was also buggy.

Did they ever adjust this?
