Introduction

The purpose of this Basic Guide is to tell you what mods are absolutely needed to play FROST, how to install them, and what you need to do to make a properly workign load order for FROST.

Installing this setup takes less then 5 minutes (without including Download Time).

This guide doesn’t tell you how to install general Fallout 4 bug fixes related to engine problems!

Some Assumption

  • MO2 or Vortex are installed to handle your mods for Fallout 4
  • Only one mod manager manages Fallout 4 on your PC
  • You know what a load order is and how to sort it
  • Fallout 4 is not installed in the Program Files directory of Windows
  • Loose Files are enabled (Vortex automatically does this, MO2 does not)
  • F4SE is installed
  • You always start the game with F4SE through your mod manager
  • Buffout 4 is installed
  • The Mod Configuration Menu mod is installed
  • The mentioned mods are very essential for Fallout 4 modding!

You can not skip a single mod from the Basic Guide! Read everything carefully!

Mod Installation Advice

When the guide says to install a mod, it will be formatted as follows: Main File - Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch 2.1.2b. This is referring to the mod’s category on Nexus, the file name, and the file version. I will leave the file version out in many cases, in that case just download the newest version of the mod.
