   After the beta tests made available to PC players through the Steam platform, we now have a solid release: patch 1.5 is now available to download in Steam, and will be available to consoles next week. It is bringing the Survival Mode difficulty, which was revamped after feedback gathered from the Steam beta, but I haven't had the chance to play it yet so I can't say what's changed.

   The update also brings support to the Far Harbor DLC, which leads me to think we'll be getting it early on May. Also on May, Bethesda is planning to release a beta for mod support on the Xbox One, followed by a release on that platform and, in June, mod support will be coming to PS4 users.  Have you seen what the CK is bringing to PC and how mods will also work on consoles?

   Check out the changes below, and don't forget to share and speculate if something has caught your eye!

  Fallout 4 1.5 Steam Update (1.5.157)

  New Features

  • New Survival difficulty
  • Survival adds additional challenges including no fast travel, saving only when you sleep, increased lethality, diseases, fatigue, danger and more. See the in-game Help menu for more details.
  • Characters set to Survival difficulty appear under their own Character Selection filter
  • Third person camera movement improvements when player is close up against walls and other objects

  • Robots can now be assigned as settlement vendors
  • Fixed issue with "Appropriation" where blueprints would not appear properly if the container had already been looted prior to getting the quest

  • While in Workshop mode, if the Jump button is remapped, the Y or Triangle button can still be used to jump
  • Fixed issue with "Defend the Castle" where speaking to Ronnie Shaw would not properly complete the quest

  Yesssss. Survival is finally here. And as someone who has recently been enjoying the hell out of third person, this:

  Third person camera movement improvements when player is close up against walls and other objects

  is my favorite fix from this list.

  For me, as someone who isn't a huge settlement building fan but gets rather obsessive over the little details of it, this:

  Fixed issue where Workshop placed light bulbs would occasionally not light properly

  is my favorite fix from the list.

  Yeah, I feel ya there. That would bug the hell of out me if I ever got beyond building rustic drug shacks. All that fancy eelektrisitee just ain't my style.

  Hah, it's not mine either but due to my lighting mods The Castle gets really dark in places that don't have functioning lights. I already have a mod that fixes it, but it's nice that the official patch addressed this.
