How to Download Fallout 4 DLC Only

Fallout 4 is a popular open-world RPG game that offers hundreds of hours of gameplay with its base game and its six official DLCs: Automatron, Wasteland Workshop, Far Harbor, Contraptions Workshop, Vault-Tec Workshop, and Nuka-World. However, some players may want to download only the DLCs without having to download the entire game, either because they already have the base game installed from another source, or because they want to play the DLCs with the VR version of Fallout 4.

In this article, we will show you how to download Fallout 4 DLC only using Steam and some console commands. This method requires that you have purchased the Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition on Steam, which includes all the DLCs[^1^]. If you have not bought the game yet, you can do so here.

Step 1: Open Steam Console

The first step is to open the Steam console, which is a hidden feature that allows you to access some advanced functions of Steam. To do this, you need to create a shortcut for Steam on your desktop. Right-click on the shortcut and select Properties. In the Target field, add -console at the end of the path. For example, if your path is \\\"C:\\\\Program Files (x86)\\\\Steam\\\\Steam.exe\\\", change it to \\\"C:\\\\Program Files (x86)\\\\Steam\\\\Steam.exe\\\" -console. Click OK to save the changes.

Now, double-click on the shortcut to launch Steam. You should see a new tab called Console at the top of the window. Click on it to open the console.

Step 2: Find the Depot IDs for Fallout 4 DLCs

The next step is to find the depot IDs for each Fallout 4 DLC that you want to download. A depot ID is a unique number that identifies a specific file or package on Steam. To find the depot IDs for Fallout 4 DLCs, you can use this website, which lists all the depots for Fallout 4 and their corresponding IDs.

For example, if you want to download Far Harbor, you can see that its depot ID is 435880. Make a note of the depot IDs for all the DLCs that you want to download.

Step 3: Download Fallout 4 DLCs using Download Depot Command

The final step is to use the download_depot command in the Steam console to download each Fallout 4 DLC separately. The syntax of the command is:

download_depot [app ID] [depot ID]

The app ID for Fallout 4 is 377160. The depot ID is the one that you found in the previous step. For example, if you want to download Far Harbor, you would type:

download_depot 377160 435880

Press Enter to execute the command. You should see a message saying \\\"Downloading depot\\\" followed by a progress bar. Wait until the download is complete. Repeat this process for each DLC that you want to download.

Step 4: Locate and Install Fallout 4 DLCs

Once you have downloaded all the Fallout 4 DLCs that you want, you need to locate them on your computer and install them into your Fallout 4 directory. To find out where Steam has downloaded the depots, you can use the following command in the console:

download_folder

This will show you the path where Steam stores all the downloaded depots. For example, it may look something like this:

C:\\\\Program Files (x86)\\\\Steam\\\\steamapps\\\\content\\\\app_377160

Open this folder and you should see subfolders named after each depot ID that you downloaded. Inside each subfolder, there should be a file called fallout4-[DLC name].esm and a folder called Data. For example, if you downloaded Far Harbor, you should see a file called fallout4-f 061ffe29dd
