Great, now all the mods will be broken again, because Steam will auto-update the game and you can't stop it.

Yes you can. Just switch to offline mode. Or, to be perfectly safe: Pull the plug or turn off WLAN. It's no rocket science.

Also, it will only break those mods that rely on FOSE. Everything else like simple texture replacement mods etc. will be safe, of course.

Finally, if anyone is just now playing FO4, it's just shitty timing. You had almost a decade to play it and OVER FOUR YEARS to play it completely undisturbed by any patches since the last patch came out in December 2019.

Final-Finally, it remains to be seen how alert and quick the FOSE folks are gonna be. If they update FOSE the same day as the patches are released then this is pretty much only a very minor nuisance.

Wrong, if a game has a scheduled update, going offline still won't let you play it. This it's been the case for years now. You can't even set a game to not update if you don't want it to any longer.

LOTS of mods rely on script extender. And no, other mods WILL be affected as well as they rely on the base game's files being in a certain specific arrangement.

And it may surprise you, but people play older games all the time, not just new players (though those will be shafted too). There's no reason Modders and players should have to put up with this BS.
