All patches are up-to-date with Fallout 4 (v1.10.984) and Horizon (v1.9.4) as of May 2025.
I haven't played or modded Fallout 4 in quite a while — for a mix of reasons: I burned out at some point, then came work, life, and everything else.
But the other day I was sorting through my mod list and noticed how many downloads and endorsements this little patch collection had... and I was like, “Wait, what?”.
So — I took the time to fully update everything to the latest game version and Horizon itself. If anyone was waiting or looking for these: here you go.
I've tested everything briefly and it all seems to work fine, but my free time is limited — so if you find any issues or inconsistencies, feel free to drop a message in the Posts tab.
If time allows, I might also take a look at what's currently popular in the FO4 modding scene — and patch a few things that are still missing Horizon support.
• Beantown Interiors Project
• Campsite - Simple Wasteland Camping
• Settlement Menu Manager
• Start Me Up - Alternate Start and Dialogue Overhaul
• NAC - Natural and Atmospheric Commonwealth
• Unique Player
• Unique Followers
• Vivid Weathers
Most of these patches are reworked, cleaned, and updated versions of original files created by OGGrinskin91, RickTheNexus, and ThaMan (and maybe someone else I forgot to credit). I am grateful to original authors, but I have changed/modified/updated their outdated (or containing a lot of superfluous) patches for myself and... so once they appear here — I don’t care what you do with them. Feel free to use them as a base for your own patches, merge them, rebuild them, improve them, rip them apart — with or without any credits, it’s all fine by me ^_^
