📋 About This Mod
Designed for Survival Mode. It saves every 5 or 10 minutes, not counting time in menus. The timer is reset on sleeping. I recommend going into your Fallout4Custom.ini and increasing the number of autosaves the game will rotate through.
I made this because the game was just too unstable with the mods I was running and it was aggravating to lose a ton of progress to software issues, but I didn't want to use a quicksave mod because I actually like the added difficulty of saving in beds, and I doubt I can trust myself to resist the temptation to start quicksaving like a normal mode game. This is the first mod I'm publicly releasing, so hope it goes well and that you enjoy it.
I've also put both versions up on Bethesda.
By request I've added a simple Save on Wait mod. Its available under optional files.
Timed Autosave for Survival Mode adds automatic saves every 5 or 10 minutes, with an optional Save on Wait feature. Designed for Fallout 4 players who want safety against crashes without abandoning the survival bed-save mechanic. Community-approved with 822 endorsements and 27,411 downloads, last updated in 2016.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 822 endorsements and over 27k downloads.
- Perfect for stability issues—no more losing hours of progress to crashes.
- Optional Save on Wait gives you extra control over when saves happen.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016—might not work with the latest Fallout 4 patches or DLC.
- Only offers 5 or 10 minute intervals—no custom timing options.
For Fallout 4 survival players who hate losing progress to crashes but still want the challenge of limited saves. Also great for anyone who finds bed-only saving too punishing. Skip if you want a full save-anywhere mod—this one keeps survival restrictions intact.
