💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure to disable the game's anti-cheat (if applicable) or use a mod manager that handles INI edits, as manual editing can be error-prone.
  • Back up your Fallout76Custom.ini before editing so you can revert if something goes wrong.
  • Test both versions in a dense area like The Mire to see which balance of performance and visuals you prefer.
