Autosaves are safe. They do not have a higher change of being corrupted then normal or quicksaves.
!This mod does not corrupt Savegames! !This mod does not "create" Savegames!
This mod, once one of the conditions are met, asks the game to make an Autosave. The same kind of Autosave the game makes when you wait/sleep/walk though a door/etc. I am utilizing the same function Bethesda uses in their own scripts to make Autosaves. The game has a small change to make a corrupt Save, and with my mod on, the game makes more saves. More saves, higher chance to encounter a corrupt Save. A single corrupt Save.
!This mod does not need to be updated with every game update!
Fucking. THANK YOU. I was playing FO4 with Snap n' Build and was building a two story wasteland mansion when the game shat the bed and I lost all that progress. The amount of rage I experienced was indescribable, and yet I still love this game. Best way to put it: Imagine baking an amazing cake with multiple gimmicks and layers, and your clumsy golden retriever gets the zooms and topples the whole thing over. Imagine that for a second. But I digress. Once again, THANK YOU.
you might want to look into why it crashes so much.. im running 290 mods with no crashes. I might run into an auto save corrupted from time to time but thats about it.
looks like the loose version for old gen isn't working, idk i have exhausted everything i can think of, it just doesn't seem to engage, however i did notice one odd thing, in the save manager holotape menu when trying to turn on the feature in the timed saves screen, it won't change from off to on visually, not sure what could be going on, but it just won't save anytime, and when i try to save manually sometimes it causes a CTD, not sure what that's all about.
EDIT: someone in the comments said to try the old 2016 version to see if that works, i had to take out the 2024 loose old gen version because it wasn't doing anything. we shall see how it goes.
i'm back, and yeah no it's not working, i have no idea why it wouldn't be working.
Same. I'm running the Fallout 4 version prior to the "next gen update" so that I don't have to deal with that whole mess. And I've found that this mod's save system just does not work on my version of Fallout 4.
HOWEVER, I then deleted all the files related to this mod, and used Vortex to grab the "loose files" version (April 2024 version), and it seems to be fixed. Maybe i got lucky. I would note that when I deleted the mod, I used Vortex and selected the extra step of "deleting the archive" as well. I don't even know what that is, but I basically wanted EVERYTHING about the mod gone, so that it would be completely clean for a new install of the "loose files" version. It's working now.
i found another that works way way better, it's called survival options, it can be used if you use survival or not, in fact i only use it for the saving options, and it works wonderfully.

it gives you a few more options, you can have it save via after every fight or every 5 minutes and that can be adjusted to whatever you want, it has many other options for the saves also it will allow you to make custom hotkeys to make it save and you can set it to do hard saves or autosaves, it does conflict with some hud mods, that's the only backdraw that i know of that it has, but otherwise i recommend the saving features built in the mod survival options, like i said before, it works even when not in survival, so you don't have to use it in survival.
Holotape does not show up for me after I installed it mid-playthrough. Neither does it show up on a new game. Installed first through Vortex and then manually. On next gen. Any pointers?

Survival can too easily become a chore where so much progress can be lost in regular intervals as to make you not want to continue playing.
This is a great balance between manual saves and beds only.
