AWKCR

It may not be lore friendly, but it looks cool, right?

Armorsmith Extended

That brings us to our next mod, Armorsmith Extended.

Even better, the mod allows for far more intricate weaponsmithing, like re-chambering weapons to fit different calibers.

But once installed, it’s game-changing.

Armorsmith can make you into an anime villain.

This mod adds 6 different backpacks that also provide bonus carry capacity.

A straightforward mod that really adds to the player experience.

Fallout 4 was rather notorious for bugs, and still is.

Who doesn’t love a gold Desert Eagle?

The Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch helps alleviate those issues.

While the Achievement enabler enables achievements again, something that shouldn’t even be disabled!

The mod’s description is as follows:

“A comprehensive bug-fixing mod for Fallout 4.

Achievements

This mod enables achievements to be obtainable once more.

Full Dialogue Interface

Want the ability to see what the protagonist will say in full?

Me too; that’s why I recommend Full Dialogue Interface.

Pipboy giving a thumbs up on a Pipboy.

Let’s get back what should have never been taken away.

Nothing beats knowing what you’re about to say before you say it.

I’m cringing, thinking of how the original dialogue works without this mod!

Place Everywhere

No longer will you be confined to the physics of reality.

Fallout 4 power armor

You can hear the bullets bouncing off.

Concepts such as the need for ground are eliminated.

For example, it’s possible for you to start as a Wastelander, not a Vault Dweller!

To allow this, the mod makes around 1,000 dialogue edits to match your chosen path.

Full Dialogue Interface

No more guessing what your character is about to say.

Everyone’s Best Friend

Dogmeat deserves all the love he can get.

No more leaving the dog at home!

Check out the mod page for a full breakdown of everything this massive mod offers!

Place Anywhere

Why not place it in a tree?

Cheat Terminal

You know what this is.

You know why you want it.

No one is going to blame you for launching 300 mini-nukes.

Finally, I can be a psycho and it’s cannon!

Graphical mods

Who doesn’t want their game to look pretty?

If you raised your hand, first of all, I can’t see it.

Secondly, you’re wrong and should install some of these anyways.

Who’s a good heavy machine gun sidekick?

They’re all a sight for sore eyes!

LooksMenu

Do you wish you had more access to making your character genuinely unique?

Then look no further than LooksMenu.

Sim Settlements

Honestly, this mod is freaking sweet.

It features:

If you’re wondering what CBBE is, go ahead and get that one yourself.

For my own sake, we won’t be listing it here.

Keep in mind, it is very NSFW.

Imagine sitting by the Vault entrance and this dude just strolls out blasting ammunition with 30 guns like it’s not super scarce.

GRASSLANDS - A Fallout 4 Grass Overhaul

This one is not lore-friendly at all!

However, it makes the game extremely pretty and adds lots of grass.

True Storms: Wasteland Edition is a complete overhaul of the storm systems in Fallout 4.

Vivid Fallout

Enhance!

Heavy rains, dust storms, radiation rains.

It delivers a genuinely dark and atmospheric feel.

Aeonic 2021

Aeonic is a reshade that focuses on photorealism.

Screenshot of 2K overhaul mod.

The prettier the better.

Bringing a lot of life and color to the Wastelands.

It’s also one of my personal favorite reshades.

More than 5000 different looks are possible using accurate reproduction of films and cinematic colorgrades and postprocessing.

She might need a RadX before they get to the Vault.

Compatible with all weather and lighting mods.”

Visceral ENB

This ENB is my personal pick.

Mod packs

First of all, what the heck are mod packs?

Green Acres is the place for me!

Mod packs are collections of mods that come with minimal installation steps compared to the entire installation process.

I’ll be recommending a few mod packs from various sources.

Fallout Anomaly

Our first mod is a complete and total overhaul of Fallout 4.

The power of Thor!

It’s also the one I’m currently playing through!

The pack merges the worlds of Bethesda’s creation with S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

in an effort to bring something far more brutal to the table.

Magnum Opus

Magnum Opus is described as a “kitchen sink” list.

It contains a dream list of QoL updates, new quests, weapons, items, and graphical refreshes.

If the mod author likes it, he puts it on the list.

Screenshot of Aeonic reshade.

I like big bright beautiful colors.

That’s my kind of guy!

I tried to keep the list short, but it just kept getting longer and longer.

All merged and installed by yours truly.

Screenshot of PhotoRealistic mod

I used this ENB for over 60 hours in my original Fallout 4 playthrough on Steam. Yes, those bars are part of the image.

you’re able to do it, too!

Otherwise, just get a mod pack.

Let us know in the comment section or social media if there was anything you thought we missed!

I now much prefer vibrancy over dread. To each their own!

I’ll see to it to add it.

Until then, as always, happy gaming!

With this edition, every expansion is included.
