Another Fallout 4 update fixes performance issues while leaving modders angry, but it doesn't have to be this way

Bethesda is celebrating a decade of Fallout 4 this month, and, as is Toddly tradition, has released yet another version of the Sole Survivor's wasteland journey. The Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition launched on November 10 as an all-encompassing collection of DLC and add-ons, but a related update to Fallout 4's Creation Club menu rolled out for everyone who owns the game and caused issues with certain existing mods...

The Fallout TV Show season 2's NCR ranger power armour has already arrived in Fallout 4 thanks to modders

Well, that was quick. Season two of Prime Video's Fallout show is still weeks away from arriving on December 17th, but a group of modders have wasted no time in studying its latest trailer and taking a crack at adding the NCR ranger power armour shown off to Fallout 4.

Can't take a break and wait for the anniversary update's fallout to totally dissipate when there's a modathon on, I guess.

Fallout 4's anniversary update "didn’t quite land with the impact many hoped for", so Nexus Mods have assembled their own

It's fair to say Fallout 4's anniversary update's earned some stick due to effect it had on PC mods, just like the RPG's next-gen update did before it. Lots of works needed updating, and while that happened pretty quickly in a number of cases, there was still disruption for some additions that generally feel a lot more necessary over on console.

Enter modding platform Nexus Mods, who've decided to follow-up the update by putting together their own "anniversary collection" of Fallout 4 mods from the works they host, with hopes it'll serve as a free alternative aimed at celebrating ten years of the RPG being modded.

If you really dug Fallout 4's Far Harbor DLC, you'll be glad to know a couple of modders have been gradually working away at adding a bunch more post-apocalyptic versions of real-life islands off the coast of New England to the RPG's map for a little while now. Following the release of their first atomic-boomed atoll, Boon Island, last year, the pair have just released a trip to Massachusetts' Misery islands.
