Plan Updates
Steam likes to auto update programs. This is problematic for mods that make use of F4SE (which is tied to a specific release of fallout4).
Configure Steam Updates
Set steam to update on run, or limit updates to hours computer will not be in use (ex. 4-5am).
Keep Previous Updates
- Find what version of Fallout 4 you are currently running.
- Copy and paste a copy of Fallout4.exe and then rename the new copy to Fallout4-<version>.exe
- Whenever Steam updates Fallout 4, simply rename the new Fallout4.exe and then change your older copy to Fallout4.exe.
- When the F4SE team is able to release an update, download the new F4SE version and rename the new patched executable back to Fallout4.exe.
NOTE:
This is true, but Fallout changes more than just the .exe in updates (but less than the whole application).
