Fallout 4 PS4 Pro β 113 Mods, Countless Tests, and Finally a Stable Load Order
Since the August 18 update, I've spent countless hours and more attempts than I care to count trying to get Fallout 4 running reliably on my PS4 Pro. This load order is the result of a lot of trial and error, removing mods I liked, testing alternatives, and learning what this engine can and can't handle.
My goal wasn't simply to run fewer mods. It was to reduce unnecessary demands on the engine while keeping the content and customization I actually want. I removed STS and its Automatron add-on after experiencing major performance problems, particularly in the Mechanist's Lair and Downtown Boston. I also cut back on high-resolution weapon textures, removed mods that distribute weapons unnecessarily through enemy leveled lists, reduced grass and vegetation, and added performance-focused mods. I'm keeping some higher-resolution armor and clothing because, for me, the visual payoff is worth the trade-off.
The results have been encouraging. I've played through more than half of the Creation Club content, traveled all over Downtown Boston, fought through major encounters, and explored extensively with minimal CTDs compared with what I was experiencing before. I even completed routes that previously caused repeated crashes without a single CTD.
This is a 113-mod load order, but the number isn't the point. Every mod has to justify its place. I'm trying to balance weapons, armor, quests, companions, settlement building, and visual customization against the limitations of the PS4 Pro and the Creation Engine.
After all these attempts, I'm finally at a point where I can spend more time playing the game instead of rebuilding my load order. It's not a guarantee that Fallout 4 will never crash, but it's the best result I've achieved since the August 18 update.
Hopefully this helps other PS4 players who are still trying to find that balance. Sometimes the answer isn't adding another performance modβit's figuring out which demands you can eliminate without sacrificing the experience you want.
Every mod has been meticulously placed exactly where I need it to be for this playthrough. If you have any questions, id be happy to answer. cheers to the wasteland, the modders, and the porters!
