UPDATE: As of May 3rd 2024, the new Fallout 4 Script Extender Version is out. I just reinstalled the game and followed the exact same method, and the game launches just fine. Typing "getf4seversion" shows me the version, all is good. That said, some mods may need an update of their own, and that's up to each individual modders. But as of now, you can mod Fallout 4 normally again! If you're here following the Fallout 4 update or release of the TV show, and this guide helped you out, feel free to watch my other Fallout 4 mod videos as well. My main audience doesn't watch them, but if you do, I might make more of them, so thank you!

Hey, been adding mods for years, but with the new Vortex and amount of mods this was extremely helpful. Thank you! I do have a request. What mod is that pop up girl notification? Asking for a friend.
Thank you, man!!! I've tried multiple videos and they weren't helpful. I was just going to stop looking until I found yours. Very helpful and in detail.
Just a note for anyone else who may not be able to get the command line to show up. I had to use @ not the tilde key. It seems this can vary based on your keyboard.
Wow, I cannot say how grateful I am for this tutorial. I’ve had a lot of trouble with modding on Fallout, and no tutorial would really help me, but this, this is a blessing from up above. You have my sincere gratitude, I am definitely subbing.
wow bro you are so clear with your tutorial its insane like no steps even skipped or not explained well you did everything so well you might as well be a teacher
Playing FO4 after 9 years of its initial release date. I was OBSESSED and played this when I was 13 and now I'm 22. Played it on the Xbox one, but 4 years ago I switched to PC and learned how to mod my games by modding my BG3 playthroughs. This video helped a lot man, thank you so much for making this video not too long ago. Most of the videos I stumbled across are years old, so it's very nice to see a more recent version on it
Thank you. I just got FO4 for PC. I had been playing on PS4 where “mods” are one click but extremely limited. You made it easy to understand and not intimidating. I especially appreciated starting with an overview of how Script Extender, Vortex, mods, and Nexus relate to one another.
This has been the only video that has been able to help me, i thank you dearly for explaining how to use vortex, as you've opened the door for modding for me.
you dont know how exhausted when you reinstall the game and have to install every tool to mod, but your video has simplyfied the processes and make it easier to do, thanks Duke
I received several comments of people with this issue: *Couldn't find fallout 4 exe*. When trying to launch F4SE. Look carefully at 4:00, when creating a shortcut for the loader, it's the SHORTCUT you have to put on the desktop, NOT the actual loader. If you move the loader out of the game folder, it won't see fallout 4, hence the message.
I typed “fallout 4 mods how to use” into my search bar. This video was near the top. I clicked. I watched. I learnt. I will not need another video. Thank you sir. Happy modding.
Thx man for the video, kinda struggle at first cuz i forgot to install winrar so no wonder the f4se file is not in zip state. either way great and very straight forward video
Thank you man, I cannot believe i finally didn't get scammed, I've been looking for one for months, finally found one, THANK YOU + U JUST EARNED ANOTHER SUB!
thanks a lot for this help i wanted to try out fallout for a while finally got it for like 8 bucks and really wanted to know how the mods work too since i heard fallout modded is where its at so thank you very much for this guide and keep up the good work!!!
Man, idk but I feel so good right now and your video gives me such a wholesome feeling that's been missing so much in my life, so let me just say, I love you, you're a good guy and did a great video❤
Thank you man, this worked perfectly and so fast ♥. Gotta add one lil' thing, if you're running the f4se_loader.exe file directly from the desktop be sure to right-click and run it as an administrator or else it wont work.
Might help for sure, but it's not my experience. I actually just did a clean install of windows and reinstalled all my mods and vortex following my own guide. Worked fine without running as admin, but that may just be my experience.
Hello i just want to ask before get started, i have read from mod that i want to download, the modder said f4se after next gen update is not working and need to waiting to be fixed. Are the f4se you put in the description is the lastest version or has been fixed. Ty
I am having trouble after the shortcut was made. It is on my desktop but when attempting to use, it gives me fallout4.exe cannot be found. I believe I followed the steps as shown, it may be messing up because of the folder location but I am not sure where to start to fix it, I am very new to pc and also modding fallout, kind of panicking if I had accidentally messed up the game entirely.
Alright, let's narrow down the issue. To find out if you messed up the game, try launching the game normally from steam. If it runs, you did not mess up the game. And as I've said, the files don't alter the game, they just provide a new launcher so technically, you can still play the game normally and ignore F4SE completely. So long as you can launch the game from steam without issue, you're good. If it doesn't work, right click the game on steam, go to properties, and under the Installed Files tab, click "verifiy integrity of game files" Steam will then scan the game files, remove anything corrupt or out of place. Try launching game. If it still doesn't work. uninstall the game, reinstall it, launch normally on steam. To find out if the issue is with how you installed F4SE or if it's just the shortcut, double-click "F4SE_loader" in the games folder. That's the actual loader, so if the game launches, F4SE works, and the issue is the shortcut you created. Make sure the loader is in the game folder and shortcut on the desktop, and not the other way around. Make sure you made the shortcut of "F4SE_loader" and not some other file. Make sure you dropped everything in the first level of "steamapps/common/Fallout 4", and not some folder inside Fallout 4. Start with all that, in that order, and get back to me I'll reply when I can.
@@TerryDuke I figured out what I did wrong from the last part you listed, I was putting the wrong shortcut on the desktop, I panicked when it didn't work at first and kind of blanked out for a bit. Thank you so much for taking time to make that explanation and help me out even though the video was already so precise and well made. You are the best and I really appreciate your help :))
The F4SE steam launcher has a 7zip icon for me, and it wont work. Its done this with a bunch of my files though I dont know why it wont work. Giving me a huge headache.
Everything went exactly as described until the I clicked the f4se loader exe and I get a pop up that says "can't find fallout 4 exe" but I then read that it's cause I didn't put the shortcut on my desktop. Such a smallnth9ng males all the difference. Thanks man
Just for others who are coming back to Fallout 4 after the update and TV series etc. - save yourself the money and get the Game of the Year (GOTY) edition from the get go! A lot of the most popular mods require all of the DLC content to be installed and I wasted about $7 on buying the base game and then buying the GOTY edition seperately after making this realisation because, stupidly, the GOTY edition is cheaper than buying the DLCs seperately, or the season pass. Really helpful video btw!
I have a problem some mods that I download work perfectly fine but some mods especially gun and outfit mods don't turn on in the fallout 4 mod menu and every time I try to turn them on there is an error and it automatically turns off the mod
I tried and it still don't tell me where to install from Vortex to fallout 4 folder. I have mods in my Vortex but it dont work in my fallout 4. I don't understand??
This is from another comment here So idk if he said but you must start the game through the f4se_loader -shortcut on desktop or it will not work for the loader
I unfortunately don’t get the screen to download all the required mods. I juts downloads the main mod without giving me the option to download all required. How do I fix it ?
If it doesnt, it's likely because nothing else is needed. Otherwise you can see the requirements under the description tab and everything will be there, clicking on the mods will open the mod page.
Thank you man truly, almost all the videos I’m able to find were made like 5-7 years ago and even then they weren’t as clear as this one. Thank you truly man, now I can finally replace that ugly assault rifle and repetitive combat rifle/shotgun model! P.S. I hate to ask this of as you already helped me so much with this vid, but can you show how to manually install mods? If not that’s okay! Again thank you truly!
You're welcome! Unfortunately there's no unique single way of installing manually as each mod installs in different places in the game folder. That said, check the mod description as the modder often says how to install their mod either manually or with vortex. I do recommend vortex though for anything besides F4SE.
Is there by any chance an option that I can simply use the Vortex Mods folder where I download the archives to, to be also used as mods deployment folder? Because I end up having all my mods downloaded in the Vortex Mods folder AND upon deployment also in FO4 folder. So I end up using up 2x disk space. Which becomes stupidly too much at some point and restricts my options for certain modlists like Wasteland Reborn.
Does this work on the rog ally? I’m trying to do it but when I go to transfer items like at 3:40 , it tries to transfer to desktop instead of fallout4 even though I’m dropping it right on the fallout 4
Could not find fallout 4.exe keeps happening, yes i read the pinned comment and i have a shortcut of the f4se loader on my desktop Nevermind, saw that it had to do with the older versions and stuff. Thats the reason the error pops up?
You can't use the f4se loader without first using the Steam launcher open. Without it open you'll get a window to quickly open and then close, going back to your Windows screen. Once I went through this, it would then allow me launch from the f4se loader without first opening the Steam Fallout 4 launcher.
I moved all the files to my fallout 4 folder made the shortcut put it I desk top but it gives be the following message “couldn’t find the fallout 4.exe. You have installed the file to the wrong folder
before i download vortex there is requirement .NET 6.0+ what is that mean?, how do i know my pc already install that "thing" or not, and what if my pc dont have ".NET 6.0+" how do i install it?
@@TerryDuke yeah vortex show me how to install it, already done it, can i ask 1 more question? if i playing the game with mod, will achievements be disabled?
I have followed all steps up to Vortex, running the shortcut opens the game fine and when checking command console it shows i have the correct script extender, but when going into vortex and Fallout 4 it shows i dont have Script Extender installed (gives me a popup to tell me this and when clicking the 3 dots beside it in Vortex it does not give the option to Run as shown in video) I have retraced my steps multiple times to make sure I havent missed anything but I have not, any idea where I am going wrong?
I did as the video says but when I try to start it it says “ REL/relocation.h(600): failed to open data/f4se/plugins/version-1-10-163-0.bin “ I have no clue what to do
You just need to install it in the right spot, dude. The video shows you where, and how to get there via steam. So long as you do it in the right spot you should be fine.
Anyone know how to fix an issue where you try to open vortex, but it says that it is already running. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times, and it still says the same thing. When I check my task manager, I only see the one instance of vortex as well. This started happening after I moved vortex from one ssd to another.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I've slowed your video down and did everything you said but whenever I try to launch the game using the shortcut I get a black screen then back to desktop. I've even tried launching it regularly by steam and it won't open.
Go into the game properties on steam and click "verify integrity of files", steam will look at the files and sort out any issue, if there's any. If it still doesn't launch normally, uninstall, reinstall.
Generally it's safe, i often test out mods on the go. But I recommend making a second save of your main game and go from there. If something goes wrong, disable the mod and you can load your backup back before you had any mods loaded.
Should have used Vortex all together, need to get used to it. Fallout 4 on MO2 is tough. Though I guess some mod managers have their pros and cons. :( I'm slow and some people just talk way to fast for me to understand, and this has helped me so thank you. :) Do you have one for Skyrim SE as well? I have seen allot of tutorials for Skyrim SE but they talk really fast and difficult for me to handle. Sorry. lmao. Hope I can find some VR tutorial mods too for these games. :)
Glad I could help. I haven't gotten around to playing Skyrim yet, let alone modding it. And I don't do VR either, so unlikely I'll make videos on that anytime soon.
I just spent an hour trying to figure out why I couldn't open the command console in the main menu just to realize my game was in survival mode (disables the console by default) smh
Did everything as you said in the video, the f4se not working (doesn't load up, yes tried 3 times) vortex keep giving me errors for mods. And the mod menu in game, does not let me enable any mods either. What can be wrong?
I have Launched the game successfully through the launcher you said to get but i cannot for the life of me press the Tilde key, even the spacebar plus windows key doesnt help when i switch to US keyboard! please help!
Hi everyone! hope you're keen for the new update. Can someone please HELP me. I recently got into modding and using Vortex I found the I'm getting notifications saying that fallout and some of the dlc files "failed to parse plugins". will this affect my game at all or will the game and dlc still be in as normal?? thank you for any help!
After i drag the f4se short cut to the desktop and try to open it. I get an system error saying "the code execution cannot proceed because x3daudio1_7.dill was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix the problem." What did i do wrong
hey im new to mods and pc in general im trying to mod fallout 4 using vortex and f4se but it does not work what so ever it just says that i am using a newer version of fallout 4 than what f4se is using but yet i see so many youtube videos of pc players using mods form vortex and playing no problem can someone please help this is my first time doing all this and non of it works
As I've said in the pinned comment, F4SE is currently getting an update to match the latest version of Fallout 4 that came out on April 25. As it stands it's not compatible, so I suggest waiting for the F4SE update, could be a few more days.
Do I drag and drop all the files from winrar to the flexExtRelease_x64.dll or the flexRelease_x64.dll folder I’m new to modding and pc stuff in general so I don’t know the difference 3:46 is where I’m talking about
UPDATE: As of May 3rd 2024, the new Fallout 4 Script Extender Version is out. I just reinstalled the game and followed the exact same method, and the game launches just fine. Typing "getf4seversion" shows me the version, all is good.

www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3844
You can't use the f4se loader without first using the Steam launcher open. Without it open you'll get a window to quickly open and then close, going back to your Windows screen. Once I went through this, it would then allow me launch from the f4se loader without first opening the Steam Fallout 4 launcher.
How do I get to my games folder if I’m using epic games
Thank you man, but quick question, what suit mod is that in the thumbnail, where do i download it?
Check my stealth mod video, I break the whole suit down, it's several mods
When i try to open the f4se loader on my desktop it says "couldn't find Fallout4.exe." ??
Did you install it in the game folder as shown?
Make sure you create desktop shortcut for the desktop, dont actually put the loader on desktop
@@TerryDukeokay i see what you mean now thank you
wonderful tutorial but i have a problem i cant enable tools on Vortex and i dont know how to change that the button to enable is grey
Not an issue I had, maybe google the issue
I moved all the files to my fallout 4 folder made the shortcut put it I desk top but it gives be the following message “couldn’t find the fallout 4.exe. You have installed the file to the wrong folder
That happens when you put the actual launcher on the desktop instead of the shortcut
tried this and it tells me im using a newer version of fallout 4 and wont launch
before i download vortex there is requirement .NET 6.0+ what is that mean?, how do i know my pc already install that "thing" or not, and what if my pc dont have ".NET 6.0+" how do i install it?
If i recall the requirement links to what you need to install so you can just use the link
@@TerryDuke yeah vortex show me how to install it, already done it, can i ask 1 more question? if i playing the game with mod, will achievements be disabled?
@@user-ke1qu9el6k Yes, but there's a mod to re-enable them www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12465
@@TerryDuke thanks for the answer
I have followed all steps up to Vortex, running the shortcut opens the game fine and when checking command console it shows i have the correct script extender, but when going into vortex and Fallout 4 it shows i dont have Script Extender installed (gives me a popup to tell me this and when clicking the 3 dots beside it in Vortex it does not give the option to Run as shown in video) I have retraced my steps multiple times to make sure I havent missed anything but I have not, any idea where I am going wrong?
Does vortex see fallout though? So long as you can run f4se you dont need to launch it from vortex necesarily
@@TerryDuke i have the same problem i only see fall out 3
I did as the video says but when I try to start it it says “ REL/relocation.h(600): failed to open data/f4se/plugins/version-1-10-163-0.bin “ I have no clue what to do
i have an anne pro 2 keyboard and I'm pressing the tilde key to open my console and it wont work and I don't know why as I have followed all the steps
It may be a different key,google your keyboard model
It say i installed the loader to the wrong folder how do i get around it?? I’m on Hp laptop
You just need to install it in the right spot, dude. The video shows you where, and how to get there via steam. So long as you do it in the right spot you should be fine.
Whenever I download to vortex it says download failed not sure what I did wrong.
Anyone know how to fix an issue where you try to open vortex, but it says that it is already running. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times, and it still says the same thing. When I check my task manager, I only see the one instance of vortex as well. This started happening after I moved vortex from one ssd to another.
Well like any program, it needs to be installed in program files on your main drive, otherwise you'll have issues.
Amazing guide !!!
Could I just use windows 11 zip feature instead of winrar
maybe the best tutorial on youtube ever?!
I don't know about that, but thanks!
Really good vid, if you can can you make some more warband vids ?
Dude, I made so many. Check out the playlist
im only modding because the game has become unplaybale on my pc and its crucial if i want to actually play. this is very frusturating
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I've slowed your video down and did everything you said but whenever I try to launch the game using the shortcut I get a black screen then back to desktop. I've even tried launching it regularly by steam and it won't open.
Go into the game properties on steam and click "verify integrity of files", steam will look at the files and sort out any issue, if there's any. If it still doesn't launch normally, uninstall, reinstall.
whats the armour at 11:11? looks cool
do mods alter saving files? i want to install some but i've already started a game and i don't want to lose my progress :(
Generally it's safe, i often test out mods on the go. But I recommend making a second save of your main game and go from there. If something goes wrong, disable the mod and you can load your backup back before you had any mods loaded.
Should have used Vortex all together, need to get used to it. Fallout 4 on MO2 is tough. Though I guess some mod managers have their pros and cons. :( I'm slow and some people just talk way to fast for me to understand, and this has helped me so thank you. :) Do you have one for Skyrim SE as well? I have seen allot of tutorials for Skyrim SE but they talk really fast and difficult for me to handle. Sorry. lmao. Hope I can find some VR tutorial mods too for these games. :)
Glad I could help. I haven't gotten around to playing Skyrim yet, let alone modding it. And I don't do VR either, so unlikely I'll make videos on that anytime soon.
I just spent an hour trying to figure out why I couldn't open the command console in the main menu just to realize my game was in survival mode (disables the console by default) smh
I was just having the same issue. That explains why i cant open the command
Did everything as you said in the video, the f4se not working (doesn't load up, yes tried 3 times) vortex keep giving me errors for mods. And the mod menu in game, does not let me enable any mods either. What can be wrong?
Steam version or hacked?
1 problem, why does it say, "couldn't find fallout4.exe" when i try to open through F4SE?
Look at the pinned comment
I have Launched the game successfully through the launcher you said to get but i cannot for the life of me press the Tilde key, even the spacebar plus windows key doesnt help when i switch to US keyboard! please help!
Check your keyboard model online to see which serves as tilde
Hi everyone! hope you're keen for the new update. Can someone please HELP me. I recently got into modding and using Vortex I found the I'm getting notifications saying that fallout and some of the dlc files "failed to parse plugins". will this affect my game at all or will the game and dlc still be in as normal?? thank you for any help!
I dont know if its just me but when i try to run the script extender version of the game it says "Fallou4.exe not found" i need help.

He only answer's for those it "works" for. Us with questions gets left out it seems.

Which fallout 4 vesrion is best for mods?
idk what I'm doing wrong I'm doing what you're doing but my does not look the same or work
can you do a tutorial on how to do it in the xbox pc app?
hey im new to mods and pc in general im trying to mod fallout 4 using vortex and f4se but it does not work what so ever it just says that i am using a newer version of fallout 4 than what f4se is using but yet i see so many youtube videos of pc players using mods form vortex and playing no problem can someone please help this is my first time doing all this and non of it works
As I've said in the pinned comment, F4SE is currently getting an update to match the latest version of Fallout 4 that came out on April 25. As it stands it's not compatible, so I suggest waiting for the F4SE update, could be a few more days.
For some reason when i dowlond F4SE the win rar files comes with a whole bunch of nothing
If you mean all the other files then they're not a bunch of nothing, you need to put them in the game folder too
@@TerryDuke i mean like, inside the compact archive of win rar
There nothing
@@Verosoka google f4se and get it from the main link instead of nexus, maybe that'll work
Sadly already did that, same thing happened
@@TerryDuke
Do I drag and drop all the files from winrar to the flexExtRelease_x64.dll or the flexRelease_x64.dll folder I’m new to modding and pc stuff in general so I don’t know the difference 3:46 is where I’m talking about
You dont have to touch these files at all, just drop everything in that folder
Hey I really need help when I press the shortcut it says it couldn’t find fallout 4.exe.
