On 2025-11-10, Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition was released, leading to significant issues with gameplay modifications. This edition combines all downloadable content (DLC) with 150 Creation Club items, priced at $59.99 / £52.99, or upgrades for $39.99 / £35.99 from the base game.
Mod Compatibility Issues

Issues include failed installations and malfunctioning quests, causing frustration among the mod-heavy community.
Upcoming Fixes and Timeline
Bethesda has announced a series of patches to address these concerns. A hotfix is expected next week, targeting DLC dependencies and other issues. Additional patches are scheduled for the week of 2025-11-24 and by mid-December 2025. Despite the difficulties, Bethesda expressed gratitude for player feedback and support tickets.
User Experience and Feedback
The Anniversary Edition's reception has been mixed, with Creations Bundle reviews showing only 23% positivity. Complaints mainly focus on broken quests and largely cosmetic additions requiring manual installation. Players keen on mod-heavy play are advised to wait for upcoming updates to ensure compatibility.
