At the very least, it will be a new version number for the .exe, meaning F4SE will require an update, temporarily rendering any mods that require F4SE as unusable.
Thanks everyone for the tips!I was looking online (mainly because Steam didn't have a simple 'Do not update this game' option), and came across this site with some instructions. Option 3 seems the most 'sturdy' way of stopping the update, but not entirely sure. The other two options I can't see as being very useful at all.

Option 2 is basically the screenshot I shared above. What I failed to make clear is that "...at launch," as I recall, means "when you click the 'Play' button in Steam." If you launch it from the file explorer, or if your mod manager launches it (especially if you actually launch F4SE and that launches fallout4.exe), then it won't update, so you can keep playing with what you currently have. When you're ready to update, just click the "play" button in Steam.I was looking online (mainly because Steam didn't have a simple 'Do not update this game' option), and came across this site with some instructions.

Ah! Sorry, I didn't fully understand what that actually meant. I had it completely wrong in my head. Thanks for the explanation. That seems a much safer way to do it.
You're welcome. I should have been more clear in the first place.Ah! Sorry, I didn't fully understand what that actually meant. I had it completely wrong in my head. Thanks for the explanation. That seems a much safer way to do it.
It will require a rebuild of script extender which will break all mods reliant on it. At least that's what has always happened before :D
I've been trying to stay away from the unsupported mods.
yeah mods that use it will need to wait till f4se is updated then any mods which are still broken would need workJust for clarification, (this is me asking not stating anything.) I've never created a mod and have no idea how it all works.
We will need to wait for F4SE to be updated?
Then mods that require F4SE will need to be updated.
Will anything have to be done to mods that don't require F4SE or will those still work?
As well I use the Unoffical Patch kit...
My understanding (and I'm not an expert) is that Sim Settlements itself doesn't rely on F4SE but many other mods do, so the consensus among the expert users here seems to be -- wait! Once the update is out, people will start testing and updating, so make sure you have disabled auto-updates on Steam and that you launch SS2 via your preferred Mod manager (not directly from Steam) so that Fallout 4 doesn't update itself before you're ready.
Hell yes it will break mods, and some of those mods have been abandoned and will be broken forever. This is why updates after 8 years are bullshit.
