Here is a guide to rolling back Fallout 4 Game of the Year Edition to 1.10.163.0 (the version before the "Next Gen Update")

Do keep in mind that you can also just grab Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition DRM-free on GOG and skip all this process, while also having the ability to rollback anytime you want hassle-free, play offline, and store your games and their Backup Offline Installers externally.

To get started, install the English version of Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition via Steam.

Before starting this process, you should disable Steam Cloud Saves to avoid causing problems with your vanilla game saves.

On Steam rolling back to the 1.10.163.0 version is a doable but complex process. To do so, you need to follow this instructions:

• Type steam://open/console into your browser. This will prompt Steam to open the console.
• There, you need to download each part of the previous Fallout 4: GOTY Edition version by typing the following commands into the console:

• These files will download into your Steam library folder (by default it is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_377160") in separate depot folders, for example, the Fallout 4 executable file would be in a folder named "depot_377162".
• Once you have these files downloaded, create a new folder on your desktop, and copy the contents of each of the aforementioned folders into this new folder replacing files as you go.
• Once you are done, it means you have constructed the entirety of the previous version of Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition. Placing these files in the a clean target Fallout 4 folder will allow access to a 1.10.163.0 (pre next gen update) executable.
