Why is Fallout 4 Taking So Long to Load?
Your load times in Fallout 4 might feel like you're waiting for the next apocalypse, but there could be a few culprits. First, if you're playing on PC, it might be time to check your specs against the game's requirements. A slow hard drive can also be a bottleneck, so consider upgrading to an SSD for speedier load times. Don't forget to clean out the dust while you're at it, as overheating can cause performance issues too.

Mods, mods, mods. They can transform your game but can also weigh it down like a super mutant on your back. If you've loaded up on mods, try dialing it back or updating them to see if that improves your load times. Sometimes, less is more, especially in a post-apocalyptic world.
SSD is the game-changer, literally. Moved Fallout 4 to my SSD and boom, I was in the Commonwealth faster than you can say 'Pip-Boy.'
Ever thought the game is trying to tell you to take a break and hydrate? Jokes aside, long load times could simply be because of too much saved game data or the need for a game file defrag. A clean-up might just do the trick!
