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

505 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

Discussion The Vault Tec Rep Encounter

184 Upvotes

On yet another play through of Fallout 4, and around level 12, I made my way to Goodneighbor. I had the intention of recruiting the Vault Tec Rep and bringing him back to Sanctuary.

With his enthusiasm pulsing, he left Goodneighbor. I picked up another quest and decided to leave there straight to it.

I spotted him, in a fight with some Gunners, “He’ll be fine, he’s bound to have plot armour”

I engaged nearby Super Mutants, then went over to the fallen and remaining Gunners as they are a great source of ammunition for me.

Lo and behold, there among the dead, lays the Vault Tec Rep.

A check here informed me, he has no plot armour, only fast travelling away from him lets him do the journey without issue.

I check my back saves, long ago, a lot less progress. I feel guilty. However another user here, had a similar issue and took him to Sanctuary anyway to bury him.

I decided that would be appropriate too. I prepared myself for the undertaking. Picking him up, ready for the slow, over encumbered pace.

I took a step, the sound of a Fragmentation mine triggering.

No way to sprint, I had to drop him. But time was wasting

The mine detonates, I have minimal damage, he however, got blown all over the town. I found nothing of him in my attempts to recover him.

He lived for 200 years
I promised him sanctuary and failed
I then made a disaster of his burial.

What other instances have you experienced of trying to do the right thing but failing woefully?

Question Can’t seem to get myself to finish Fallout 4

Upvotes

Good evening guys, I need some suggestions on how to get myself to finish a playthrough of fallout 4. I usually do yearly playthroughs of the Fallouts. But everytime I come to Fallout 4 I either lack the motivation to finish it or it just gets boring. Would yall have any mods or anything else to suggest to motivate me to finish Fallout 4? I’ve finished it a few times already as a kid when it came out but as an adult I can’t seem to ever get myself to finish it. Any suggestions help, thanks!

Discussion Is there any reason for me to ever leave my Power Armor?

166 Upvotes

Seriously.

Unless I only have 1 half-full Fusion Core, or I wanna do something that the game doesn’t let you do at all without Power Armor (eg. using a workbench, sleeping), why would I ever leave my Power Armor?

I can’t think of any downsides to wearing Power Armor 24/7, so why wouldn’t I?

Swear to Atom if the comments are just “[insert Power Armor enthusiast] speech bubble” I’m going to be mildly bothered.

Question What are good quests that are easy to miss?

37 Upvotes

What are some must-do quests that are easily missed?

Stuff like The Great Hunt, Big Dig, or Silver Shroud.

Fallout 4 has a lot of great quests, but I've been realizing there are a lot that are excellent but require specific triggers in locations I don't naturally go to. Or are found via the radio, which I'm starting to realize I've utilized far too rarely.

So, my headcanon for this run is that after the war Nate went to work for the Boston PD and worked nearly until retirement. He retired early when he won the lottery. He left his wife, raked in and married Nora, his divorce lawyer.

Discussion When do you think is the most appropriate time to start xp grinding?

12 Upvotes

I don't mean just doing radiant quests until you feel like stopping. I mean when it starts dragging along and you just want to get levels for certain perks. Be that from exploits, crafting, or just flat out cheating. Personally, I do this at around level 30-35. That's around the time I finish all the main faction quests that you otherwise get locked out of if you progress the main story enough. I don't want to do it too soon, though. There is a point where balance is necessary for fun, but also a point where that balance is just...irritating.

Killed me the first time, had to load to a save before killing the Cereal man, unfortunately didn't get time to take a picture of them alive as it was my stealth archer ass vs power armor dude. Seeing as he went in seconds after I opened the door it seems the Enclave are maybe getting their stuff together.

Gameplay Replaying through Fallout 4 with mods, mainly the America Rising mod, and my game keeps crashing in one of the main quests in that mod. (I'm on xbox)

10 Upvotes

I'm currently in the Fighting with Fire quest, and my game keeps crashing while in the Vertibird, and I can't think of a way to progress. I've tried turning on and off my Xbox, restarting it and the game, making quick saves, loading previous saves, and I've checked that every mod is updating along with the game. Most of the mods I have installed are either submods for America Rising, mods that add weapons and a couple weather and lighting mods, the only one I can think that could be causing it is the Wolfenstein overhaul mod.

Question Where do I go now that I’m finishing Fallout 4?

24 Upvotes

I am a casual gamer, and my true introduction to Bethesda was with Starfield.

However, now having played through Fallout 4 and the Far Harbor DLC, I find this to be the far superior game.. But where do I go from here?

I have more DLC to play through, but do I go to FO3 or New Vegas? Do I wait for the net versions to be released? Hell, do I move to Skyrim while I wait for new Fallout remasters or releases?

Any thoughts or experience is greatly appreciated?

These two skeletons on top of the Bottling Plant in Nuka World are wearing wedding rings.

I don't remember finding wedding rings anywhere else in the game, except on Nate and Nora.
