Upcoming Bethesda Update effect on SS2 mod

[GamerChef6]

Please forgive my ignorance about modding leading to potential ill-informed questions, but I am wondering:

How badly is the upcoming Bethesda update going to hurt this mod for both PC and consoles. I am assuming, after what was said by the Fallout: London team, that is mod is probably going to break on PC since it uses SKE, am I right?

Will that also mean it is broken on console even though SKE isn't on consoles?

I just started SS2 and think it is absolutely brilliant. I am hoping it will still function after this update.

tl;dr
We really won't know until the update is out and/or Bethesda releases actual patch notes for it. Most likely at least parts of it will break and need to be updated by the mod team.

Take a look at the discussion in this thread:

Thanks for that link. Skipped my mind to check SS1 forums for this question.

Being that I have almost no modding knowledge, I was under the assumption that mods that are ported over to consoles do not require script extender. So, if the mod was made using it but extender itself is not on the platform, it would still break, right?

And I agree with you in that other forum post, very suspicious that this update is rolling out just 2 days after London. I think Bethesda might be getting a little scarred modders are getting better at making the game than they are.

SS2 doesn't require F4SE (though it can take advantage of it). But enough will likely change under the hood of FO4 that SS2 development work will need to be done.

Also, I wasn't suspecting any malicious intent vis-s-vis FOLon. Most likely indifference.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply you were suspicious. That is solely my suspicion from experience with what my dad went through in the company he worked for. They did that kind of maneuvering anytime outside programmers started adding on/improving upon licensed software they were allowed to alter to fit needs and then it began to get distributed to other uses.

Mods have kept people playing (and thus buying) Bethesda games for many, many years. (If there were no mods, would any of us still be playing Fallout or Skyrim?) So I really doubt they have any animosity towards Fallout London. It's more likely to be cock-up than conspiracy (as one of the mod's leads said yesterday, "Bethesda? Bethesda never changes...")

True.

Bethesda as Corp sure they like the Mods, But Todd H. the one and only, the enlighted father of Gameing, the one that creates a Game so great that anybody who won`t say it is the best Game ever; plays it wrong.
I don´t think he cares for anyone exept himself, and same is true for Ideas.
And I think that I can proof it, most Playser say that Fallout New Vegas is the best one, and it is not his Fallout. So as soon as there was an oppurtunity to mess this "not his Idea" thing up, and take care of it, he does.
It is like: "He does something and his Staff tries so hard to smooth things out. So that no Shitstorm breaks loose." So I don´t think he really cares about Fallout London or any other Mod that is not from him.
