📋 About This Mod
Recently I found a bug in my fallout game where when I start a new game and I get to the cryopod scene, my game doesn't go forward. I read around and discovered that the only way to fix it is by reinstalling the game, that can be a big pain if u have lots of mods and personal tweaks on the game. I did that and know I decide to save other people from the pain. Here you can download a file with 2 game saves, both are right as you exit the pod and one is for Nate and one for Nora. Don't worry you can still customize when you get to the vault exit.
Faster Start is a small utility mod for Fallout 4 that skips the game's opening sequence, placing you right after exiting the cryopod. It's for players who want to bypass the lengthy intro and start playing immediately. With 157 endorsements and 2,129 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated convenience mod, last updated in 2017.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Saves you from replaying that long intro every time you start a new game.
- Gets you straight to the action—perfect for testing mods or speedrunning.
- Simple and effective; does exactly what it says without bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- You'll miss out on the pre-war character creation, so you'll have to set your appearance later.
- The mod hasn't been updated since 2017, so it may have compatibility issues with newer game patches or DLC.
- Since it's a saved game mod, it might conflict with other mods that alter the intro or early quests.
This is for veteran players who've seen the intro a hundred times and just want to jump into the wasteland. It's also great for modders who need to test their mods quickly without sitting through the opening. If you're a first-time player, you'll probably want to experience the intro at least once.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since you skip character creation, you'll need to use the console or a mod to change your appearance later if you care about looks.
- Make sure to save right after exiting the cryopod, as the mod might not trigger correctly if you load an older save.
- If you're using mods that alter the intro or the vault, test them together to avoid conflicts.
