Bethesda has released a new update for Fallout 4 to celebrate its 10th anniversary, introducing the Creations Menu for downloading mods and content. The patch, version 1.39/1.000.004, arrives alongside the Fallout 4: 10th Anniversary Edition and includes various bug fixes and performance improvements. Players on consoles and PC can now access professional and enthusiast-created content directly in-game.
Update Overview
Fallout 4, which launched in 2015, marks its 10th anniversary with the release of update 1.39/1.000.004 on November 10, 2025. This patch introduces the Creations Menu, allowing players to discover, download, and enjoy content from professional developers and enthusiasts. Some creations are free, while others can be purchased using Creation Credits through the in-game menu. Availability may vary by region, title, and platform.
A highlighted creation is 'Tale of the Beast Hunter' from Hobgoblin Studios, available immediately via the Creations Menu. It features the Beast Hunter's outfit, a revolver shotgun, and a showdown with his pet Deathclaw, Bessy. Additionally, it adds 'The Bar,' a new player home inspired by the Mojave's Strip.
Owners of the Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition and previous versions gain access to this menu, enhancing modding without external tools.
Key Fixes and Improvements
The update addresses several technical issues:
- VATS Accuracy: Hit chances are now consistent across platforms, preventing drops to 0% or incorrect values. Targeting through walls without the Penetrator perk is disabled.
- NPC Visual Creations: Fixed stuttering and hitching; performance improved for mods editing NPC visuals.
- Stability: Better handling of Bethesda.net outages; no crashes when interacting with crafting stations or workshops on ultrawide monitors.
- Ultrawide Support: UI elements, HUD, and menus now scale correctly for 21:9 and 32:9 aspect ratios. Pip-Boy map functionality expanded, and save previews are letterboxed.
- Miscellaneous: Autodetect sets supported resolutions to prevent launch crashes.
These changes aim to modernize the game for current hardware while celebrating its legacy in the post-apocalyptic Commonwealth.
