Here we are!
So looks like a lot of people are rating this game on the PC pretty harshly due to the new update which disables achievments once you have modding enabled... Which lets all be honest, we all have mods, while some are not close to cheating, some are extremely cheaty. However no matter what mods you have, achievements are disabled after the 1.5 update. Now this doesnt mean you shouldnt update, this just calls for a hotfix mod via the nexus and scripts.

Requirements

First you will need F4SE. (Fallout 4 Script Extender)
http://f4se.silverlock.org/

Here is a video on how to install this thingy.

Next you will need the mod.
http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12465/?

If you do not know how to install mods, this guide is not for you... Otherwise why would you have gone here silly.

When ever you want to play the game, you have to launch it via the F4SE application, if the original launcher pops up, do not use it, close out and try launching via the F4SE.



If I missed any important info, please tell me... Because that stuff is important yo!

Anywho, thank you for reading and I hope you have a happy modding and achievment gaining experiance.


Quick edit here
: There is a comment regarding that you dont exactly have to launch via the F4SE exactly, and that you can find a way around that. If you want to know how to do that, here is the comment by alike03;
"If you still want to launch it through Steam overlay you should create a BATCH file with a simple notepad and type

start "" "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam Games\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\f4se_loader.exe"

and save this as Fallout4.bat

then right click Fallout 4 in Steam and click on Properties, then click the "Set Launch Options" button.

Now you should now enter the batch file location with the %command%. Mine looks like this.
"D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam Games\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Fallout4.bat" %command%

Now you should be able start it directly from Steam"

"does the achievement mod you download from nexus still work? i heard some people say it crashes their game, or that it doesn't work anymore period"

i guess.. if you haven't screwed around within your game... it absolutely works, even in second half of 2022 with what ever version of script extender was going around.

just go to nexus and download the file that enables you to have mods.. but still have the achivments tick over.

*usefull if no real mods but use CBBE only etc. as female bodies ain't cheating in my opinion.

that way you can just click on the f4se as normal.. and... it just works.

**Game may still break some part of your brain if you get 100% achievements** but at least it will be dooable i guess given time.

Just note that achievement detection can be a bit finicky at times so I would strongly recommend making a save before the achievement is supposed to unlock that way you can reload until it finally pops up

anyone wondering the Achievement mod works fine. Last 2 days i was modding heavily my F4 game, based on this howto https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/23556?tab=description

According to https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12465?tab=bugs it does not work in the current game version. And looking on other abandoned reported bugs it won't be fixed.
