Next-Gen Update: If you are on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or PC, several packs (like Enclave Remnants) were added to the base game for free in 2024. To help you get the most out of your game, tell me:

The reviews for the next-gen update and its associated Creation Club

You are not alone. The search for a functional Fallout 4 Creation Club content download update has become a rite of passage for modern Commonwealth survivors.

  1. Open the Creation Club and find the specific mod (e.g., "Horse Power Armor"). Click "Download."
  2. Immediately alt-tab out of the game.
  3. Watch your Fallout 4\Data folder. You will see a temporary .ba2 file appear, then vanish.
  4. Before it vanishes, copy the file elsewhere. (This requires ninja reflexes).
  5. Alternatively, use a mod manager like Mod Organizer 2. Even though it’s for mods, MO2 can see the "download cache" of the Creation Club and allows you to force-install the missing BA2 archives.
