Yeah it doesn't help that the Steam version would likely try to auto-update and I don't believe there is an easy way to downgrade.

I could be wrong about that latter point. There might be an option in the properties menu similar to how you can opt into betas.

You have to disable automatic updates manually but it is possible.

I know it's been possible to downgrade Skyrim after updates, but not through any official means, might be the same with FO4, not sure though.

Yup, if you use mods, it's a good idea to set the game to update on launch through the game's properties menu in its steam library listing.

Since a F4SE nodded game is going to launch through the script extender's launcher, that keeps the game from updating automatically when starting a play session.

I also like to make a copy of my game folder and save it off in another drive so I have a backup.
