Okay, maybe that’s a tad harsh onFallout 4, but nevertheless, Nexus Mods issued a warning that “extra traffic could cause a degraded experience across the website and our applications” in the last few days, attributing the issue directly to the website “experiencing much more traffic than usual due to the popularity of the Fallout TV series”.

Earlier modern-era entryFallout 3and the ‘90s CRPG originals have also picked up in the wake of the excitement, too.
