So many people are downloading Fallout mods after watching the show that the Nexus is straining to support all the traffic (www.pcgamer.com)

Unfortunately with the upcoming FO4 patch in a few days, a lot of those mods are gonna be broken for a few weeks/months. Bad timing by Bethesda on that front.

The show caused me to finally buy FO4, and so I immediately hopped onto Nexus and downloaded the highest-rated mod collection for the game. It has over 700 mods, so something tells me I won't actually be playing much of the game for a while yet. (I wouldn't deign to play a modern Bethesda game without mods.)

Isn't there a way to disable automatic updates?

What i did with Skyrim was setting the update option in steam to only update when i launch the game. But then only launch the game with the script extender.

There is.... But let me tell you... I've had to restore my backups several times. Occasionally steam just will update it... It drives me nuts

Can't you start the game from the copy? You might have to manually set the Steam app ID, but that should be the easier way.
