Last week, Bethesda released the Next-Gen Update for Fallout 4. And, as we’ve already reported, this update broke compatibility with a lot of mods. Not only that but, contrary to Bethesda’s claims, the patch did not add proper ultra-screen monitor support on PC. In short, it was a nothing-burger. Thankfully, though, there is a way via which you can roll back to its previous version.

To be honest, the Next-Gen Update for Fallout 4 is a huge disappointment. Bethesda has not added any Ray Tracing or Path Tracing effects. Not only that but the game is still locked at 60fps. Other than the promised ultra-wide support, there is nothing at all in this update for PC gamers. And… guess what? There is already a mod that offers better ultra-wide support than the Next-Gen Update.

By following this guide, you will be able to remove the Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update, and roll back to its previous version. So, here’s how you can do it.

• Create a new folder to contain all your Fallout 4 files
• Open the Run Dialog box (WINKEY + R) paste the following:
• steam://nav/console
• press enter
• A Steam console should appear. At the bottom, copy and paste each “download_depot” line by line

Fallout 4 Base Files + English
download_depot 377160 377161 7497069378349273908
download_depot 377160 377162 5847529232406005096
download_depot 377160 377163 5819088023757897745
download_depot 377160 377164 2178106366609958945

• After each one completes, visit the folder path specific in the console, and navigate
• Once done, open the folder specific in the “Depo download complete” message, locate the Fallout 4 files within, and paste them into the folder you created in step 1.
• After downloading all of the above depos you should now have a fully reverted version of Fallout 4.

And that’s that. Once you’ve done all of this, you can download this mod to prevent Steam from updating the game. This is a must-have mod for everyone who wants to stay on the previous version of Fallout 4.

If you are into Fallout 4, you might be interested in these other mods for it. For instance, there is a LOD mod that reduces distant objects/shadows/textures pop-ins. Then we have the Disk Cache Enabler Mod. There’s also a mod that adds ragdoll physics and collisions to dead bodies. Another amazing mod is this one that fixes the game’s long loading times. DirectHit is a mod that overhauls the AI of enemies. And let’s not forget this mod that adds real locational damage to all enemies. You can also download an 8K Texture Pack, or this 41GB 4K Texture Pack which optimizes all 40,962 textures. Finally, there is a mod that adds support for NVIDIA DLSS 2, AMD FSR 2 and Intel XeSS. Oh, and there’s a mod that adds AMD FSR 3.0 Frame Generation to the game.

Let’s also not forget the DLC-sized expansion mods that you can get for F4. Fallout New Vegas Remake in Fallout 4 is an unreleased mod that we’re really looking forward to. Then we have Fallout: Miami. America Rising 2 is another fan DLC/expansion mod that integrated the Enclave faction into the main story with 24 main quests. Caves Of The Commonwealth is another fan expansion that adds 2-5 hours of new gameplay content. Let’s also not forget Fallout London which looks promising. You can also download Sim Settlements 2 – Chapter 3, Whispering Hills which is a cool Silent Hill mod, and The Wilderness Mod. You can also download a new horror quest mod that is inspired by Lovecraft, Resident Evil and Dead Space. Earlier this month, we also shared another quest mod for it.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
