How I Build My Load Order for Fallout 4 on Xbox

In this video, I'll go through how to delete a load order and start from scratch. After that, it's time to build! I'll go through each section to give you an idea of my thought process on building load orders in Fallout 4!

We are back and what better way to start than to look at mods! I was going to redo my list and figured I'd record some of it and share my thoughts. Hopefully this is helpful. As noted in the video, this is not a definitive load order video.. but you can probably assume a lot of what you see may be in it when I make it.

i watched the skyrim load order video and man was it a different experience, i’ve never have so many mods or thought of any. i swear i subscribed the first time but i made sure this time after having fallout 4 on the series s. again, thank you for the new experience.

[jackkendrick]

Hey Matt would love an updated video for your current load order or maybe even a brief list on what you’re running. Either way great video! Cheers

Top notch load order video for the upcoming next gen upgrade package for Fallout 4. I'll keep this in mind when starting a new playthrough. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year TechRanger!!!

This is great, downloaded most of these and had enough left for the America Rising 2 DLC. My first time modding and Fallout feels like a new game.

Yeah I recommend avoiding unofficial patch, I remember reading somewhere how it was made to run on PC. Xbox version of Fallout 4 is made different on PC, hence why some mods on Xbox don't properly line up as it would PC (like some hair mods would show a gap on the characters head, texture pop in and out at the freeway bridge leading to Nuka World station and Far Harbor like Cranberry Island and the shed at Acadia).

I've seen reports that it runs smoother on PC than it does for Xbox. I recommend avoiding mods that require UFO4 patch on Xbox. I had done several tests on this in the past and it took me until I uninstalled all 150 mods and just had the patch ran, ran to Far Harbor on very easy just so I can see how it ran and sure enough trees, some buildings and walls were popping in and out. Did the same for Nuka World. Thought I put that out there so you know. I use OctoberJemini Tweaks & Enhancements and my game runs smoother than ever and this is on the Xbox One S, so I imagine it would be even better on the series X. For me I have it mid bottom of my LO, game can run for a long while, almost 3 days.

I also use Cheat Boston, HIGHLY RECOMMEND. It has a cellar underneath Sanctuary Bridge, that leads to a hallway of doors that lead to different areas of Boston. There's also a DLC version too, but I used the no DLC because the Miss Nanny Mission in General Atomics Factory was bugged for me. You'll have to be the judge Tech if you decide to try out those mods.

The Cabot House door, go through it and wait until Edward shows up, just pointing that out on account you might fear he's glitched when in actuality he's not. I think he's just coming up from downstairs, but you should be able to do the mission like normal.

I miss hearing that intro and seeing that Trey M filter. Good times. Good to see you again Tech!

[IshinoRed]

I've been messing with my load order for months now. Finally a solid video. My only question is. What category would sounds mods like footsteps, ui sounds, radio stations all under? Always had an issue on where to properly place them.

[Justanobody]

I really love making it look like fallout 3

[tjmoore]

The enhanced blood has a smaller file size mod too, you’ll save 35/40mb of space

[littlewntr]

Hey man this is my first video I gotta say I'll definitely keep watching your stuff!

I gotta question tho, I saw you had two reserved storage for Fallout. I went to check my storage too and I had some too, but it was only 6KB.. so after this weird way of explaining it my question is how do you have two? And it having 2GB? I already tried deleting stuff from my internal storage but that didn't work, I understand that I have one from my external hard drive but can't figure out how to increase the internal reserved space

PS. Sorry for the overuse of the words "Reserved" and "Space"

[DenverNinjaGaming]

So i have a question would boston less enemies go at the top cus wouldn't that be considered a patch/world altering mod? I'm just trying to figure out my mod list on xbox one s its doing ALOT better than my last load order but i feel it could still be better and i just keep hearing conflicting things from different ppl. Im new to xbox modding cus i main on playstation. Lol so its very confusing to me.

[WastelandJedi]

Yo Tech, be careful fam - that MK18 and add-on merge you're using was ported with stolen perms unfortunately! Is a bit of a bummer having to use the bigger file and add-ons as standalone but that porter is honestly no good for the console community, they're causing authors to (understandably) take their perms away from us console porters and hindering the scene greatly 😞 anyway man, just thought someone should flag that with you, take care

[tigerruss]

But isn't it not wise to remove your mods once you download them because it makes the game more unstable and or buggy or am I wrong?

[prplehearts]

Are mods necessary with the upgrade on series X and since I’m into a new game could mods be loaded or do I have to start a new game…thanks!

[DJRavenwolf]

constant freezing and crashes, is it too many mods, is it the wrong load order, is it a memory problem? I have an 8 TB external HD, should I keep all mods on it and just run the game on the xbox? Should I keep the game AND the mods all on the external?

Would just like to play and build without the constant freezing lol.

[gamertardguardian]

Where should i put fps and other performance mods? I know there is an FPS boost, but some of the mods that increase view distance and make it more like a PC are not compatible with FPS boost because they have their own FPS boost

[lugerlv]

I’m having trouble finding the “better 3rd person animations” mod on Xbox, I was wondering if you knew if it had been taken down or something?

[julianforrer]

Yo man, i have a question. Is the load order in the description ( from the linked video) the load order you are using now? i am searching the internet for a good load order but i cannot find a recent one.😂

[BeanBandit]

My fallout 4 library has some of the mods I used in a current play through but most of the mods saved on the library are from a long time ago I don’t use anymore. Any idea on how I would get rid of my old mods and make it to show the current ones only?
