Introduction
Never worry about broken Precombine and Previs data again.
Fallout 4's Precombine and Previs systems are responsible for a huge part of the game's performance. If they become disabled for a cell, FPS can drop dramatically, especially in cities and heavily built settlements.
Precombine And Previs Guardian protects these systems automatically.
Instead of repairing broken optimization data afterwards, the Guardian prevents Fallout 4 from disabling valid Precombine and Previs data in the first place.
Install your favorite mods without worrying about hidden performance killers.
No more searching for the plugin that accidentally broke an entire cell.
Keep Fallout 4's optimization intact automatically.
Mods that correctly provide rebuilt Precombine and Previs data continue to work exactly as intended. New buildings, world edits, and additional objects are not affected.
The Guardian only steps in when Fallout 4 is about to disable its optimization because a plugin would otherwise break the Precombine or Previs system.
Why use this mod?
✔ Protects Fallout 4's built-in optimization system
✔ Prevents accidental Precombine and Previs breakage
✔ Helps maintain stable performance across your load order
✔ No configuration required
✔ Lightweight native F4SE plugin
Compatibility
Precombine And Previs Guardian is fully compatible with mods that properly regenerate their own Precombine and Previs data.
It can also be used together with Previsibines Repair Pack (PRP).
