The Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE) is the backbone of most complex mods. F4SE version 0.6.23 is the specific build required for game version 1.10.163. Many essential mods, like LooksMenu or Place Everywhere , were built for this specific runtime and may not function perfectly on newer versions.
Purchasing the game on GOG is the easiest route, as their current offline stable build is natively parked at version 1.10.163. Steam Downgraders: fallout 4 update 110 163
