FO4 Boot Order and Performance Improvements

FO4 LOAD ORDER AND IMPROVED PERFORMANCE

Section (1). Load order.

Section (2). Improved performance.

Section (3). Improved Fallout 4 graphics.

Section (4). My current boot order - Works well and is stable - Could I adjust it a little? Offers please.

I am creating this page as a knowledge base. I refer to the order in which the mods are loaded into the NMM.

Also fully tested mods to improve performance for FO4

Updating 7/25/2020

I went back to fallout 4. Using the Vortex mod manager, this page will be updated with new information about Vortex, as it is the one I will use now. As long as everything is fine, it works perfectly. I see that many people complain about it, but especially for new users I recommend it.

Also recently, more mods for performance have appeared. I'll study them to see what works and what doesn't.
