To make an issue help request you must have followed accurately all the suggestions section in description.
​Explain the issue, as much accurate as you can.
​Link an image or a video if it's a graphic/visual/performance issue
Link your load order and your main pc specs using the text type below and replacing the ( ) with [ ]
(spoiler) Your load order (/spoiler)
Do the same for your pc specs.
ATTENTION:
Of course in the load order i don't wanna see any plugin that is not on the list, because i can't replicate the issue if it comes from a mod you added on your own.
To better avoid issues, do the mod list as is, test if it all works, then ask me all the mods you wanna add and i'll tell you if they are compatible, if they are not, how to fix issues with it, where to put it in load order, if there's a mod that is better than it and do the same things and such.
Don't do things on your own if you are not sure about what you doing or what you installing and if you are not experts of conflicts between mods.
This mod list is last updated in 2019 mate. Unless you use certain parts with some expertize in modding, it's hard to copy this and have it all working.
However, if you only made the step 2 mods, that of course is not going to work, as the mod page is structured in a way that many mods from later steps have hard requirements from previous ones, in a way that all ends up complementing eachothers nicely.
Some numbers or what version to download are now outdated, but if you follow the principle and download the latest, can still find all working. The textures part is independent of the game version, and will still work for instance, as many mods in the list, is mainly due to the script extenders or framework tools some mods rely on that need to match the game version to the latest.
I think something is wrong with the download link it wants to take several hours and eventually hangs and then my bandwidth outside this download normally greater than 100MB/s goes into hundreds of KB and I cant even refresh browser pages.
There has been a major traffic in fallout 4 modding scene, and loads of gbs have been downloaded.
Considering this is one of the most downloaded page in the modding scene as of this week, and considering the large amount of textures given for you to download, i can understand the site having problems to keep up.
These mods should download like any others in terms of speed, as it's their servers in any case.
If not, really try to wait a while, you can always add them at any moment to your game as they overwrite the original files, you can even add them once you started your game.
Very sorry for the inconvenience, i understand there's a bit of hype for the Fallout serie, and probably that is causing major server overflow. Hopefully gets resolved soon for you to enjoy.
The discord of the people who claim to have the updated version of this modlist is atrocious. It requires someone jump through 15 hoops just to look at a mod guide. I actually couldnt get it to work. At this point you need a guide just to view the guide. Why I need to read community rules for a community I have no intention or desire of ever talking to just to access a guide is beyond me. If anyone is reading this in 2022, you can safely disregard this mod guide.
Wasn't difficult tbh. I wanted to check this out for for the LO specifically and the guide was kinda right there once you joined the discord. You agree to the rules (which is pretty much a standard) and set your role on the server to fallout 4. Click guide.
The guide itself is in need of an update, sure, but its decent enough to get stability in a modded game with some nice rules of thumb to make sure you don't stumble over the same issues other people have experienced.
They have people who are working on making an updated version of this modding guide, but at the moment it's an unfinished mess. Their current guide available on the discord as a PDF is very outdated and you'll have to find several notes, pinned messages across various channels and alternative downloads for mods or fixes to complement the guide or outright replace sections of it. If you go through only the guide, you'll be unable to use or even find a lot of the mods and fixes required or they're simply outdated and don't work anymore or at least won't work well.
Yeah sorry guys but i stopped mantaining it myself years ago, keeping this updated takes so much time and for people who were present when this was a things it was great, now i understand the frustration of this as a whole, i keep this mod page opened because it can still help gathering infos, the console command for repacking and such, i might be back in the future but i dont find modding that much appealing as it was in the past. bethesda games to me are going downhill while i thought fallout 4 would have been the worst possible i was mistaken due to 76 and starfield which dooesnt convince me to the slightest and am also worried on elder scrolls. Other games who offer modding capabilities usually are more limited and so in the end i barely mod games anymore.
Now i do not revision the discord thing, which i presume might get off in some time. But my suggestion is to take this setup as a base, or fondamental. Trying to check the latest mods in terms of what they have been updated with and keeping the core intact while adding or using the mods you like. The support i have been getting all this time off the scene has been immense and i thank you all. That s the reason i keep the page opened but it seriously hurts me to see daily updated mod page for years now being untouched for years.
Damn modding is hard. Thanks BiRaitBec for giving some fresh info here.
Since it's no longer maintained, would you consider putting a big note/warning at the top of the page? And a link to that Discord group so users can try their WIP updated guide. Currently this mod page touts itself as being complete and smooth, and it's clear that is not exactly true anymore. Users should be told right away so they can decide if they want to use something easier or not. I agree this guide is useful to keep up, but it's unfortunately misleading in its current state and I feel bad for some of these confused/frustrated players, that's all.
A mod list / guide I KNOW I can recommend is The Midnight Ride. It is minimal (important fixes and enhancements only) so easy to use as a base. Stable. Up to date. I have their mod list plus just a few additions.
Sorry for the late reply: However, I have been and still am working on updated content for BRB Guide. This is why we linked the Collective Modding - A BiRaitBec Legacy Discord. Keep in mind, though, CM is more than just trying to maintain BRB Guide. The 11-15-2020 PDF shared there is, in fact, outdated. However, I work many hours for a day job and have been testing a crap ton to ensure the next released update will be a great one!
Thank you for the long wait! In the meantime, we still have many of the original server Veterans on board as well as having a very helpful community. We have many Mod Authors active as well.
I know cyber from back in the day when i was active, so i can guarantee he would make a great mod list, which of course can never be just this one updated, but will also make sure he gives his own taste to it together with other mod authors.
Cyber, if you feel to share a discord link here so people go directly to your server, do not feel ashamed of it, i don't mind you sharing your own work.
BRB - Thank you for the kind words. I am working hard and testing as much as possible, which you asked from me before posting on your behalf. I am in a lead position running a team installing infrastructure, cabling, building out racks/closets, installing security and demarc. My work really keeps my hands tied, but I dedicate ALL of my free time towards pushing this next update. It will become a bit more finalized leaving micro-updates for the WIP mods still in progress being used.

Our Community is very much alive. We still have our shared Admin running the back end. We still promote the BRB Guide and the Immersive Witcher List (Constantine and Team). And we have included much, much more.. including allowing the BRB Community to continue to thrive and help one another. We have been working on improvements navigating our server. Discord has been offering many new features lately to assist scams/raids/ridding NSFW Content/etc.
You and your Support Staff have been very kind and helpful while on your server. You allowed me to be a part of, or at least see the communications you shared prior to leaving. This is my way of passing this forward. The next update will land on Nexus, under my own title, as you suggested. I allowed perms to your installer.bat to Rux616 in which he has created BRB Workbase Improved mod. Nice work too, btw! (and with proper Credit) - For this is very important to our server and the partnerships we have established (Nexus, BGS, Schmault-Tec Wiki Group - with others pending/have been invited (Kinggath-SS2/Others).
Hi, I may be a little late to the party lol but just wanted to thank you for keeping this page up...my game was a mess before this so I am ever grateful .
Yeah, feel free to share your link to the page to people who might not understand the fact that it is an abandoned page.
I would love to make an editing for the mod page so that it might redirect to yours, i just dnt have time to edit or to think of a cool design to add that is not invasive.
You don't need to credit me everytime for real, now im sure it's just its own thing. With this sort of HUB we helped eachothers to find a great essential mod list that would break the least as possible, and with that we tried to improve upon it, and to help one an other, especially people who in the past were new to modding and found skyrim community already sedimented too much.
If you respect one an other that's for me already a joyful thing to think at.
Apart one or two individuals we had in those years, i must say all the rest of the community is what i wanted it to happen, and everyone was respectful, kind, none was really impatient, rude or so. That's all that mattered to me when starting the project.
Personally as i say sometime, i find modding in these years very limited, i often look for optimization scripts, or mods in some rare instances, however most of what i need usually is behind paywall on patreon, and i don't use this site often at all anymore.
The ps3/ps4 era was a perfect moment for modding to happen cause devs rushed games on an intricate system as the ps3 (which was the main bottleneck of games between that and xbox360) and they didn't have time to polish it, which modders have. In fact i think apart some exceptions the games i usually play modded the most are those of ps3 or early ps4 era, also 2013-2014 period on pc.
Well.. the good news is I have started a Nexus page for the update I work with.. Unfortunately, time is a barrier for me.. so it is still incomplete. I have cleaned up my Docs channel on the server. We were able to add some final touches to that ENB Preset you started updating and didn't finish you left with us. I also have a converted BRB HUD Preset for use with FallUI - HUD. You are welcome to check it out!
Thank you for sharing this informative piece of work.
I have a question. I've read in various threads (including this one) that it is not recommended to install Fallout 4 in the "Program Files" directory. I do not know exactly why it is not a good idea, but am open to following this advice. My question is, can I simply re-locate my existing installation from the Program Files directory to another location, or would I need to re-install the game? Additionally, if this is possible, can I do the same for other Bethesda titles?
In general it has to do with access to the files, depending on your system and how it is setup, you might find issues with injectors or dll files or even the bat files if you have restricted access to those folders.
It is only a good habit to do it, however i also find the default program installation path just easy enough.
I think the main problem back then was that when i started the mod list, we were using shadow boost injector, which was never updated anymore and we dropped it, but that wouldn't sometimes work in particular when installed in those folders, i think you would have no problem. There was also other systems like windows 7 and 8, so many years ago it was hehe. Hard Drives usually take more time to read those sections aswell instead of say, just desktop. Just an other era.
However i keep reminding people that this modlist is outdated for so many years since i dropped it. If you are smart enough you can still gather loads of useful patterns and info for creating your own, but if you are a newcome to mods and modlists it might not be for you anymore i suspect.
Correction: It hasn't been updated since 11-15-2020.. and has been posted on a discord server. It is still temp pinned, as another update will be coming soon and should be uploaded to Nexus upon release as well.
Regarding this OG Modlist by BiRaitBec AND the updated PDF I have shared for nearly 3 years now.. are outdated. My latest findings while following the PDF update I share: You may use all the updated versions of the mods in use. Some of BRB's original modlist has changed in that PDF. The next update which will be coming out as soon as i can finish writing it will carry some major changes. A new save game is going to be required, or things will simply begin to fail otherwise.
A few examples: AWKCR/AE/DEFUI/VIS-G are ALL being removed and replaced with updated content (FallUI Series - Complex Item Sorter - 4estGimp and M8R Enhancements - 4estGimp Raider Overhaul - One and Super Mutant Redux [No AWKCR] replacers - ECO Redux) + More!
It made us dream, this list, in 2019... We loved it, this real Fallout that we could never have with Bethesda, don't you ? We spent dozens of hours on it... but I can’t really do it. BiraitBec is just great and generous, there’s no doubt about it, but I don’t have his background in development and coding.
So, if I understand correctly, we find ourselves in the following situation : hundreds of mods available, all more awesome than each other, 18 000 posts here, and no reliable current mods packs to run correctly at least a small part.
For those who are just neophytes like me, there is only one question, please :
"In December 2022, where can we find a stable mods pack (or a load order), which has been tested for at least 50 hours, in which you can finish the game, and does not know a CTD?"
Same question from me. I spent weeks trying to get BRB's modpack to work when he was first building it. Got it to work, could play, was awesome. But my PC wasn't strong enough to handle it in the end. Now I'm back with a MUCH stronger PC and I'd love to play FO4 again. So I came here to check up on the thread. But it's last working MO is 2019, and it's 2023. So is there ANYONE still semi active and semi in the loop to give me a hint where to start again? Is there a way to still play this? Or is there something else worth looking at? What do? :o
Go to BiRaitBec Workbase Improved and download the Main File. Extract this archive into a blank folder, outside of a Windows protected directory (such as D:/Workbase Improved). Now go to BiRaitBec’s Modding Guide. Manually download the Main Repack files (Part One, Part Two, and Part Three). Finally, go to SavrenX HD 1K Buildings and Interior and ONLY download the last Update File entitled Fix Vault-Window-Metal-Institute. DO NOT UNPACK any of these archives. Simply COPY the archives into the D:/Workbase Improved/Repack7z folder. Go back to your Workbase Improved folder. Double click the Installer.cmd file to run it.
If the file opens up in Notepad instead of running, simply close it and instead right click on the file and choose Open.
Choose the output of your liking. You may use the default PatchedBa2 folder, or navigate to your Magnum Opus installation and select mods/[NoDelete] Workbase Optimized Textures. PowerShell will now launch and begin verifying all of your archives, then repacking your .ba2 files. This process may take an hour or two, depending on your hardware. For most people, it takes about fifteen minutes. When the installer is finished, it will automatically close itself.
If you chose the default PatchedBa2 folder for your output, navigate to that folder, select all the archives inside, Copy them (right click > copy, or Ctrl+C). Then navigate to Magnum Opus/mods/[NoDelete] Workbase Optimized Textures and paste the archives here (right click > paste, or Ctrl+V).
READ THIS: I noticed a lot of people are asking questions, so I installed a Wabbajack mod called Magnum Opus and this is one of the guides from it that explains how this works, and yes it works to this day, but you have to find and make it work for your version of game or mods you got, for me I got a whole Modlist from Wabbajack. Good luck
Yeah, for the people who were here when this was active it was a unique experience.
The project started to showcase the .ba2 files even for skyrim community, and to present a new way of making modlists, an organized list, easy to follow steps and colors which have been used by other guides still in fallout but also elsewhere and im greatful of it.
In my idea i would have stopped supporting fallout 4 once the new fallout would come out, once we heard fallout 76 was coming that was the end line for me. After the game came out to be a disaster i decided to push daily support and daily research and testing further to a point where unluckly i burned out of the daily support.
Seeing people messaging me almost daily with kind words, memories and even telling me of crediting myself for their own project is something that warms my heart even to this day, but i'm no more a modder. I don't like modding games anymore, it was great especially on the era of ps3/ps4. I feel apart some exceptions, all games are well made and they don't leave much space to modding which to me is a great thing as i saw modding as a way to enhance the flawed experiences mainly.
Every time i think of this mod page and kknowing the eventual outdate it really makes me sad, but i decided not to remove it to the historical page left in the guide space of nexus site.
We broke many records with this mod page over the years, the file size, many times i broke nexus network for it. The massive community interactions generated in a game that wasn't skyrim and the file with the most contracted partnerships with mod authors.
I hope people see this as an historical success, but i can't ever guarantee on the state of this anymore as i do not follow mods progress, fallout 4 in particular and i often just come to nexus for some particular mods, but nothing to extensive anymore.
I was the first to introduce to .ba2 files integrations with just a simple code when people were making the modding textures loose, which would take a load of useless space and also would increase the loading up of the game, especially when nvme weren't a thing back then.
Then my past as collaborator in the most renown skyrim mod lists like the septima before the author vanished made me jump to fallout 4 in order to create an hub and linking all the mod authors who truly enhanced the fallout 4 experience to me and my taste.
I used color formats for daltonic people of all kinds, i tried to make sure everything was set smoothly in the texting and the understanding and to get to new standards as modding guide goes compared to skyrim classics.
This was also before webbajack tools or the nexus automatic mod lists i don't know anything of and kind of made me unappreciate the modding scene a bit more.
Nothing is compatible because it basically runs like a filter over all of the encompassed areas of the game, with patches being required in modified areas, I believe.
Place it very low in your load order and it should be fine. There are some areas that will need tweaks, but you can find patches for more things on here.

Your load order
(/spoiler)
Do the same for your pc specs.
ATTENTION:
Of course in the load order i don't wanna see any plugin that is not on the list, because i can't replicate the issue if it comes from a mod you added on your own.
To better avoid issues, do the mod list as is, test if it all works, then ask me all the mods you wanna add and i'll tell you if they are compatible, if they are not, how to fix issues with it, where to put it in load order, if there's a mod that is better than it and do the same things and such.
Don't do things on your own if you are not sure about what you doing or what you installing and if you are not experts of conflicts between mods.

i've only install the step 2 mods
However, if you only made the step 2 mods, that of course is not going to work, as the mod page is structured in a way that many mods from later steps have hard requirements from previous ones, in a way that all ends up complementing eachothers nicely.
Some numbers or what version to download are now outdated, but if you follow the principle and download the latest, can still find all working.
The textures part is independent of the game version, and will still work for instance, as many mods in the list, is mainly due to the script extenders or framework tools some mods rely on that need to match the game version to the latest.
However if it's only compatibility with higher resolutions, I would still skip it.
Considering this is one of the most downloaded page in the modding scene as of this week, and considering the large amount of textures given for you to download, i can understand the site having problems to keep up.

Very sorry for the inconvenience, i understand there's a bit of hype for the Fallout serie, and probably that is causing major server overflow.
Hopefully gets resolved soon for you to enjoy.
The guide itself is in need of an update, sure, but its decent enough to get stability in a modded game with some nice rules of thumb to make sure you don't stumble over the same issues other people have experienced.
They have people who are working on making an updated version of this modding guide, but at the moment it's an unfinished mess. Their current guide available on the discord as a PDF is very outdated and you'll have to find several notes, pinned messages across various channels and alternative downloads for mods or fixes to complement the guide or outright replace sections of it. If you go through only the guide, you'll be unable to use or even find a lot of the mods and fixes required or they're simply outdated and don't work anymore or at least won't work well.

(and with proper Credit) - For this is very important to our server and the partnerships we have established (Nexus, BGS, Schmault-Tec Wiki Group - with others pending/have been invited (Kinggath-SS2/Others).
I may be a little late to the party lol but just wanted to thank you for keeping this page up...my game was a mess before this so I am ever grateful .
I would love to make an editing for the mod page so that it might redirect to yours, i just dnt have time to edit or to think of a cool design to add that is not invasive.
You don't need to credit me everytime for real, now im sure it's just its own thing. With this sort of HUB we helped eachothers to find a great essential mod list that would break the least as possible, and with that we tried to improve upon it, and to help one an other, especially people who in the past were new to modding and found skyrim community already sedimented too much.
If you respect one an other that's for me already a joyful thing to think at.
Apart one or two individuals we had in those years, i must say all the rest of the community is what i wanted it to happen, and everyone was respectful, kind, none was really impatient, rude or so. That's all that mattered to me when starting the project.
Personally as i say sometime, i find modding in these years very limited, i often look for optimization scripts, or mods in some rare instances, however most of what i need usually is behind paywall on patreon, and i don't use this site often at all anymore.
The ps3/ps4 era was a perfect moment for modding to happen cause devs rushed games on an intricate system as the ps3 (which was the main bottleneck of games between that and xbox360) and they didn't have time to polish it, which modders have. In fact i think apart some exceptions the games i usually play modded the most are those of ps3 or early ps4 era, also 2013-2014 period on pc.

Thank you for sharing this informative piece of work.
I have a question. I've read in various threads (including this one) that it is not recommended to install Fallout 4 in the "Program Files" directory. I do not know exactly why it is not a good idea, but am open to following this advice. My question is, can I simply re-locate my existing installation from the Program Files directory to another location, or would I need to re-install the game? Additionally, if this is possible, can I do the same for other Bethesda titles?
I appreciate your time.
It is only a good habit to do it, however i also find the default program installation path just easy enough.
I think the main problem back then was that when i started the mod list, we were using shadow boost injector, which was never updated anymore and we dropped it, but that wouldn't sometimes work in particular when installed in those folders, i think you would have no problem. There was also other systems like windows 7 and 8, so many years ago it was hehe. Hard Drives usually take more time to read those sections aswell instead of say, just desktop. Just an other era.
However i keep reminding people that this modlist is outdated for so many years since i dropped it. If you are smart enough you can still gather loads of useful patterns and info for creating your own, but if you are a newcome to mods and modlists it might not be for you anymore i suspect.
Regarding this OG Modlist by BiRaitBec AND the updated PDF I have shared for nearly 3 years now.. are outdated. My latest findings while following the PDF update I share: You may use all the updated versions of the mods in use. Some of BRB's original modlist has changed in that PDF. The next update which will be coming out as soon as i can finish writing it will carry some major changes. A new save game is going to be required, or things will simply begin to fail otherwise.
A few examples: AWKCR/AE/DEFUI/VIS-G are ALL being removed and replaced with updated content (FallUI Series - Complex Item Sorter - 4estGimp and M8R Enhancements - 4estGimp Raider Overhaul - One and Super Mutant Redux [No AWKCR] replacers - ECO Redux) + More!
We spent dozens of hours on it... but I can’t really do it. BiraitBec is just great and generous, there’s no doubt about it, but I don’t have his background in development and coding.
So, if I understand correctly, we find ourselves in the following situation : hundreds of mods available, all more awesome than each other, 18 000 posts here, and no reliable current mods packs to run correctly at least a small part.
For those who are just neophytes like me, there is only one question, please :
"In December 2022, where can we find a stable mods pack (or a load order), which has been tested for at least 50 hours, in which you can finish the game, and does not know a CTD?"
The Midnight ride? Or...?
Have a nice day
Extract this archive into a blank folder, outside of a Windows protected directory (such as
D:/Workbase Improved).Now go to BiRaitBec’s Modding Guide.
Manually download the Main Repack files (Part One, Part Two, and Part Three).
Finally, go to SavrenX HD 1K Buildings and Interior and ONLY download the last Update File entitled
Fix Vault-Window-Metal-Institute.DO NOT UNPACK any of these archives. Simply COPY the archives into the
D:/Workbase Improved/Repack7zfolder.Go back to your
Workbase Improvedfolder. Double click theInstaller.cmdfile to run it.
- If the file opens up in Notepad instead of running, simply close it and instead right click on the file and choose
Choose the output of your liking. You may use the defaultOpen.PatchedBa2folder, or navigate to your Magnum Opus installation and selectmods/[NoDelete] Workbase Optimized Textures.PowerShell will now launch and begin verifying all of your archives, then repacking your .ba2 files.
This process may take an hour or two, depending on your hardware. For most people, it takes about fifteen minutes.
When the installer is finished, it will automatically close itself.
PatchedBa2folder for your output, navigate to that folder, select all the archives inside, Copythem (right click > copy, or Ctrl+C). Then navigate to
Magnum Opus/mods/[NoDelete] Workbase Optimized Texturesand paste the archives here (right click > paste, or Ctrl+V).READ THIS: I noticed a lot of people are asking questions, so I installed a Wabbajack mod called Magnum Opus and this is one of the guides from it that explains how this works, and yes it works to this day, but you have to find and make it work for your version of game or mods you got, for me I got a whole Modlist from Wabbajack. Good luck
Yeah, for the people who were here when this was active it was a unique experience.
The project started to showcase the .ba2 files even for skyrim community, and to present a new way of making modlists, an organized list, easy to follow steps and colors which have been used by other guides still in fallout but also elsewhere and im greatful of it.
In my idea i would have stopped supporting fallout 4 once the new fallout would come out, once we heard fallout 76 was coming that was the end line for me. After the game came out to be a disaster i decided to push daily support and daily research and testing further to a point where unluckly i burned out of the daily support.
Seeing people messaging me almost daily with kind words, memories and even telling me of crediting myself for their own project is something that warms my heart even to this day, but i'm no more a modder. I don't like modding games anymore, it was great especially on the era of ps3/ps4. I feel apart some exceptions, all games are well made and they don't leave much space to modding which to me is a great thing as i saw modding as a way to enhance the flawed experiences mainly.
Every time i think of this mod page and kknowing the eventual outdate it really makes me sad, but i decided not to remove it to the historical page left in the guide space of nexus site.
We broke many records with this mod page over the years, the file size, many times i broke nexus network for it. The massive community interactions generated in a game that wasn't skyrim and the file with the most contracted partnerships with mod authors.
I hope people see this as an historical success, but i can't ever guarantee on the state of this anymore as i do not follow mods progress, fallout 4 in particular and i often just come to nexus for some particular mods, but nothing to extensive anymore.
I was the first to introduce to .ba2 files integrations with just a simple code when people were making the modding textures loose, which would take a load of useless space and also would increase the loading up of the game, especially when nvme weren't a thing back then.
Then my past as collaborator in the most renown skyrim mod lists like the septima before the author vanished made me jump to fallout 4 in order to create an hub and linking all the mod authors who truly enhanced the fallout 4 experience to me and my taste.
I used color formats for daltonic people of all kinds, i tried to make sure everything was set smoothly in the texting and the understanding and to get to new standards as modding guide goes compared to skyrim classics.
This was also before webbajack tools or the nexus automatic mod lists i don't know anything of and kind of made me unappreciate the modding scene a bit more.
Place it very low in your load order and it should be fine. There are some areas that will need tweaks, but you can find patches for more things on here.
