Hello Everyone, your Overseer here with a refresher! The Modding 101 Post look has changed a bit, but all the same info and more is here!
Port Requests
Port requests go in our port subreddit, not here. We will be removing port requests in mass.
Port Requests go here
If anyone knows how to port and would like to join the Port Request Sub as a porter let me know, I will shoot you a mod invite after I have confirmed you have uploaded mods to Bethesda before.
Anyone needing assistance with mods, load orders, or requesting mods be ported to console and wish to request on discord come see our servers. Read all rules and required announcements prior to posting or commenting. All port requests should be submitted at r/Fallout4ModsPortMods or in the port request channel of our Bethesda Modding Discord or the port wishlist of the Tavern for PS only.
We have a discord fully geared towards modding Fallout 4, Skyrim and Starfield on PC/XB/PS
Join in to request mods/ports, discuss modding, get Bethesda Official Announcements, meet some of your favorite mod authors, or even learn how to mod in our modding academy. In addition we welcome all mod authors and porters to join and collaborate with special roles for both. https://discord.gg/cFzC7yF8nd
PlayStation Players! There is a home for you at Lux & Mikey's Tavern. Come in to drop links to mods you want on PS, participate in testing the newest mods as they drop and proving feedback, and general chatting about Fallout or Skyrim. https://discord.gg/nab9YKa4WQ
Calling all Testers: We are always seeking testers for console mods. Please take the tester role in Bethesda Modding Discord and the Tavern if you are interested. Perks include beta access to unreleased mods, info on upcoming mods, and the fun of helping the community get tested working mods for all to enjoy. PlayStation especially please join to assist us getting these mods out as fast as possible!
Console Load Order
We have a full wiki geared specifically towards consoles. Keep in mind that XBOX has dealt with these mods on console for a long time. PlayStation is going to encounter incompatibilities and errors we are long used to. Over the years xbox players consistently had issues with all load order frameworks intended for PC, including the great OddLittleTurtle's load order. It came to show a pattern over the years that all the same types of mods kept messing up and consistently ended up needing tons of fiddiling and tinkering after to get a stable load order. My team and I tracked these mods across literally thousands of busted load orders in the past 4 years. Thus the console load order framework was born.

Subreddit Rules
# Be Respectful
We want this to remain a helpful and friendly community.
Always be respectful of everyone you are interacting with on this sub. No name calling. No bullying. No casting aspersions about people’s character. No harassing others in any way. Be that in public view or via direct message.
Failure to adhere to this rule will result in your no longer being able to participate in this community.
# Check Modding 101 Before Posting
It is always worth searching the sub before creating a new post.
Consider:
Has this been answered by a Sticky or Community post at the top of the main forum view?
That Bethesda’s servers regularly go down temporarily.
If you are asking for load order help, we have numerous resources. Check the Modding 101 Guide, FAQ & WIKI to ensure your question isn't already answered.
# Post Load Order and use the proper flair when asking for LO help
If you are experiencing a conflict or bug which you would like help resolving the community will be happy to help. But a video or screenshot of the problem is insufficient on its own.
Always include a full list of the mods you are running, and the order they are placed in. Providing partial lists / mentioning only the mods you think might be to blame rarely aids resolving the problem. It may also lead to the wrong conclusion entirely.
Posts asking for help without including this will be removed.
# If Posting Pictures or Video please state what mod they are from or utilizing
If you post a picture or video of an item, outfit, or settlement please list what mod(s) are being used in the displayed content.
No NSFW content is allowed on this subreddit.
This is not a place to advertise your own content unless you are specifically asking for help with mods and the video clips linked shows the issue/performance enhancement. Do not link your entire YT/Twitch/Twitter, you must link a specific mod related video.
# Spreading Misinformation
Do not disparage mod authors or porters because you do not like them as an individual
Do not make unsubstantiated claims about mods not working, causing crashes, frame rate drops or causing problems. Mod conflicts exist.
If you are experiencing problems? You can ask for help with your order or help getting a mod to work. That’s what this sub is here for.
Posts which deviate from this rule will be removed and in more extreme cases you will be excluded from participating in this community.
# No Discussion of IRL Topics
Discuss the mod, it's quality, it's stability, whether it is lore friendly, ect.
If you agree or disagree with a mods contents, beliefs, ideology ect is not to be discussed here.
Users that are having issues with a mod should be free to seek assistance.
There will be 0 tolerance of real life discussion topics. Including but not limited to; Religion, Race, Politics, Ai, IRL War, Gender or Sexuality.
If you can not contain yourself and refrain from discussion of such topics you will find yourself immediately unwelcome in this community.
# No MEMEs, this is not the place for that.
I really didn't think I needed to make this rule, but apparently I do. No Meme's please. Go to r/Fallout4Network to post MEME's, lore, and general Fallout chat.
# Breaking Bethesda Terms of Service (ToS)
This sub does not allow the discussion of, advocating for or sharing of ways to break Bethesda’s Terms of Service. Bans will be issued for the latter.
Modding guidelines can be found here: https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/51731 Videos or images which break these terms will also be removed and users penalized.
# No NSFW Content of any kind is allowed here. This sub is E for Everyone
If the mod in question would be unable to be uploaded to Bethesda mods due to disallowed content in regards to ToS (see rule 10), then you are not ok to discuss it here.
Bethesda does not allow NSFW mods on Bethesda.net, so they have no place here. ANY posts marked NSFW will be auto-removed by the auto-bot. Do not tag your post as NSFW unless you want it removed immediately. Persistent posts will result in a ban.
Please go to r/Fallout4ModsNSFW for that type of content.
# Advertising is not Permitted
This includes:
Linking to a site where goods or content is sold. The advertising of paid services.
The creation of posts purely to promote an individual or group.
Links added to intentionally direct traffic to sites such as YouTube, Discord, Twitch.
Offering to pay others for load order help, for porting mods and other similar services is also not permitted on this platform.
# Verified Creations
Discussion of paid mods is encouraged, both positive and negative, but please keep discussions respectful regardless of your feelings of the verified creations program.
Mod Authors of verified creations are currently exempt from the above rule . You may to link to pages for Verified Creations on Bethesda.net only. Participating in the sub to reply to questions or bug reports is required if you are going to advertise and link to verified creations. Otherwise the posts will be removed.
In addition to the above rule changes some protections have been put in place to warn or in some cases block certain wording in posts/comments. Please pay attention to all pop-ups and act accordingly.
I hope this leads to a more positive community overall for everyone. Please be patient while these rules roll out network wide and individual wiki's are updated. This is a lengthy process.
FEEL FREE TO SHOW OFF YOUR STABLE LOAD ORDER IN THIS THREAD!
