Fallout 4 is an open world action role-playing video game
developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. In this
game you can apply different mods that changes your gaming experience and the
ability to customise it as well.
Here are the best mods that you can use in Fallout 4
The best
Fallout 4 mods – so far
Fallout 4, like other Bethesda games before it, is like
catnip for modders. And this is a good thing, because the creative and clever
minds of modders everywhere are already hard at work providing add-ons for the
RPG epic.
Although it’s too early in the day for major content packs
with stories and new locations, the modding scene has already turned up a
number of useful customisation tools, some lovely visual enhancements, pre-made
characters that don’t look like they were put together by a decomposing
ostrich, and much more. Let’s run down the best ones we’ve found so far.
There’s a cap on how many objects you can place in a
settlement – and that’s fine, for general gameplay. It encourages you to think
carefully about what your settlers really need, to invest in upgrades on
existing objects, and to provide thoughtful solutions instead of band-aids.
But for creative building, it’s just a pain. If you want to
build an enormous wall of animated
billboards around your camp, or an arena big enough for an
epic NPC battle, or just the wasteland’s largest dong, you need more toys
to play with. Thanks, modders!
A simple change that feels a bit like the breaking of a
storm; suddenly the nagging tension of the past few hours is explained and
soothed away. The way your gun is constantly poking ahead of you in Fallout 4
just looks silly, and this mod changes that: when you run, your character lets
their weapon drop to one side, holding it more naturally for effective
movement.
I’d love to see a follow-up for third-person. And some
third-person animation packs in general, to be honest.
This clever mod gives you the opportunity to recruit one of
a variety of enemy units to follow you around and aid you in combat. Choose
from the likes of Deathclaws, Radscorpions, Synths and even a pacifist cat.
Best of all, it leaves your companion slot open, so you can bring someone else
along, too. Two pals? Yes please.
You need to fiddle with console commands to get this mod
working, but it’s worth it. You should also check out Pre-CK – Venison, which
this one was based on, if you’d like a Radstag friend, and search around for
other creature mods if you want something more … unusual.
My nickname for this one is “Red Sox Jocks”. Similarly to
the Boston
Red Sox uniform mod, this one allows players to show their hometown pride
as they wander around the former state of Massachusetts. Unlike the uniform
mod, this one replace the default nude skin, so that any time you take off your
clothes (to climb into your power armour without lugging around your regular
armour, for example), you’ll see a little flash of patriotic pride over your
buttocks.
Obviously this is very silly, but given how often heavy
power armour players will see their buttocks, it’s pretty cute. As well as the
Red Sox logo, you can opt for Vault 111 underoos, or any texture you care to
create yourself.
Okay, so tweaking one particular graphics effect is not
exactly essential, but in a game like Fallout 4 where the red sauce is sprayed
around so liberally, it makes sense that said sauce is as good-looking as
possible, right?
You may need side-by-side comparisons to really see the
difference, but trust me – you’ll enjoy leaving your mark on the world even
more with this one. You can even tweak on-HUD blood effects, setting them to
subtle or – by default – egregiously speckled.
Like this? Check out similar mods for the stars, moon, rain and water effects. There’s
even a (very popular) texture pack for eyes.
Value per Weight indicator for Container UI
There’s a fine line between using mods and cheating. Giving yourself endless caps? Cheating. Setting your carry weight to infinite? Cheating. Taking some of the CPU load off your brain? Perfectly acceptable mod usage.
This mod just gives you a quick show of the value of loot in containers, so you can stop doing napkin maths at the bottom of a dungeon when you need to drop something. Chuck everything extra in the nearest container, open the transfer interface, and take out only the most valuable items. Nice.
This doesn’t account for rarity, unfortunately, and the crafting system means anything classified as junk is part of an economy that has very little to do with dollar (cap?) worth. But still: super handy.
Fallout 4 Configuration Tool – By Bilago
The most popular mod among hardcore master race adherents, the Configuration Tool unlocks all sorts of tweaks and options not easily accessible through Fallout 4’s launcher and in-game settings menu.
You thought changing the colour of your UI was cool, huh? Well how about broadening your field of view, unlocking the frame rate (or locking it, if necessary), adjusting mouse sensitivity and acceleration, custom-fit the resolution, lock yourself out of the console (no cheating on this run!), skipping the intro movie automatically, toning down the gore, tweaking shadows, and oh – much more. A must have for graphics and performance hounds, to be honest.
Enhanced Wasteland Preset
This was one of the earliest Fallout 4 mods to do the rounds, and it still holds up against other visual tweak suites. The preset fiddles with ambient light, depth of field, FXAA, curves, vibrance and other visual effects all in the name of creating a more vibrant, less washed-out Wasteland.
It might not match Bethesda’s original vision but hey – it’s what the people want, if the popularity of the mod among YouTubers is any indication. If you’re looking for an alternative, the VOGUE ENB – Realism package is also pretty popular.
Darker Nights
Have you noticed that it never really gets dark in the Commonwealth? even at one in the morning with no visible moon, you can disco dance your way across the terrain with little impact on visibility.
This is all very accessible and fair to players, of course, but for that real survival experience you can inject a little more terror into the coming of twilight with the Darker Nights mod. It doesn’t make things pitch black – you can still get around without too much difficulty – but you definitely notice the difference between early evening and midnight, that’s for sure. There are three settings, in case things get a bit too shadowy for your liking.
Fallout 4 Mod Manager
Okay, yes, this is getting a bit meta, but until the Steam Workshop fires up, keeping track of your mods isn’t super easy – especially if you’re a newcomer to the scene. This simple-to-use tool takes a lot of the fuss out of it.
It won’t solve all your problems, because not every mod is tidily packaged up, but in terms of simplicity you can’t beat it. “If you have errors let me know and I will fix them. But when it comes to functionality I’m not gonna add anything. This is intended as the most minimalistic mod manager that still has enough to offer to be usable,” creator Grasmann wrote. Bless.
