The discussion quickly mentioned that the studio should not even bother about making this addition; modders will do a better job. This company’s titles, particularly Skyrim, have a long history of modding since their release.
Bethesda Did Not Do the Best Job With This Update, According to the Fans
This comment about how modders will do a better job was one of the most liked in the post, and the replies mention that on PC, the modders did an excellent job with graphics and all kinds of improvements to the visuals of Fallout 4. According to the players, this particular new update breaks any kind of mod, so it is not compatible with previous editions that were not part of the original files.

On the Reddit discussion, other players have even mentioned that they will not update the game and will just keep playing with the mods activated. Users even inquired about how to prevent Steam from automatically updating titles, ensuring the games remain unaffected.
