Top 15 Fallout 4 Mods For PC Available to Download

Fallout 4 was released quite a few years ago, and it received lots of praise back then, as it does now.

However, time took its toll on it, and, regardless of how good one game is, it loses some of its replicability over time.

Thankfully, Fallout is a product of Bethesda, which means that the modding community will always be there to support it.

Fallout 4 has its fair share of flaws and numerous aspects that left lots of room for improvement via mods / tweaks.

Though some mods can indeed change the experience for the better by addressing some of the game’s mishaps, many other mods are just out there for fun.

Without further ado, let’s see our top picks!

Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch

This mod is meant to fix most of the game’s numerous bugs/glitches that haven’t been otherwise impacted by official patches/updates.

This mod adds no new content, but instead, it makes sure that the already existing content works as you expect it to.

BodySlide And Outfit Studio

Have you ever felt the need for a change in the outfit of your character, but the game simply had no options that you found interesting?

Do you often find yourself looking at the available outfits and found them all dull?

Thankfully, this mod can be the solution to that.

With this mod, the only limit is your imagination. You can shape the game’s outfits (and more) to your liking!

True Storms

For some fellas out there, the highlight of the more modern Fallout games consists of freedom of exploration.

For some reason, many gamers are particularly happy when they get to wander through the game’s beautifully made wasteland.

True Storms is a mod that can enrich that experience by introducing some extra weather types, fresh visual effects and textures for rain and dust patterns, remastered thunder and lightning effects, plus realistic indoors audio during storms.

Mod Configuration Menu

There’s an overwhelming amount of Fallout 4 mods available, so you will want a way to keep track of them and keep them under control. The mod configuration menu pops up at the top of the pause menu, providing a designated location to fiddle with all the settings of your installed mods.

There are numerous sliders, buttons, and checkboxes that you can tinker with to change the game’s experience.

However, one thing you should note, though is that you should install this mod before installing the rest of the moods you are planning to use to keep things simple.

LooksMenu

The character creation menu in Fallout 4 is a relatively bland experience, so this mod aims to take character customization to a new level.

It is a robust alternative for creative gamers. You can even save, or import custom presets for easier character creation.

More Where That Came From Radio

Listening to the game’s music is part of the fun of exploring the wasteland.

However, you will find the songs a bit repetitive after a while.

This mod can change that, as it adds 111 new songs to your Pip-Boy, which are all thematically appropriate and lore-friendly.

We highly suggest giving this mod a shot as it can spice up your experience.

Fallout 4 Script Extender

This is one of the most desirable mods for the game. It helps you run mods that add more than just basic functionality changes.

Script extenders take game customizability to a whole new level, allowing modders to go bananas with what they can do.

The mod in itself doesn’t add new content to the game, and it’s like a middle-man for new/future mods.

Homemaker – Expanded Settlements

Building your own custom settlement is one of the most interesting parts of Fallout 4. However, the system the game uses can feel a bit limiting at times.

Players looking for an enhancement to that will find this mod to their liking.

It allows for over a thousand new objects to be crafted, which is simply amazing.

Additionally, there are some extra futures like new build sets and working planters.

Craftable Ammo

One of the main complaints about Fallout 4 is the lack of craftable ammunition, especially as Fallout: New Vegas had that option.

The developers may have discarded craftable ammo to increase difficulty.

Less ammo means that you have to rely on melee combat more often or scavenge for ammo and use it more sparingly.

This mod does what its name suggests – It allows you to craft your own ammo, so you don’t have to rely on other alternatives.

Enhanced Wasteland

Though the world of Fallout 4 has numerous amazing sights, there are some areas that feel less polished than others.

Thankfully, this mod will take care of that by making colors of the world pop out much more, making every trip to Commonwealth a pleasant surprise for your eyes.

Improved Map With Visible Roads

Do you ever find yourself looking at the Pip-Boy built-in map, thinking that it looks old and boring?

Well, so did the developers of this mod, which aims to simplify navigating in the wasteland by replacing the basic map with a more detailed version, including roads to help mark your overall progress.

Carry weight Modifications

The game obviously has its flaws here and there, but very few things are as annoying as carry weight restrictions.

We hate when carry weight restrictions limit what you can do in-game, but we also understand that the game would be too easy without them.

However, this mod lets you modify those minor inconveniences to enhance gameplay to your liking.

Lowered Weapons

In the wasteland, you have to always be on edge, keeping your rifle close and ready for action.

However, if you feel like that’s a bit too much and you’d want the experience to be more relaxed, this mod can allow you to keep your weapon in a lowered position until things get dangerous.

The best thing about this mod is that it frees a significant chunk of the screen that would have been otherwise occupied by the gun.

Better Settlers

One of the most frequent complaints with the game is that the settlers are way too similar, leading to situations where one player can see the same NPC across various settlements in the wasteland.

This mod can prevent that from happening by adding over 230 new settlers to the game and changing their AI to make them smarter.

Fallout 4 Seasons Project

This mod adds seasons to the game – each with its unique weather pattern.

Unfortunately, the mod doesn’t automatically change over between seasons, which means that you will have to change the season by manually toggling on or off some files.

This mod can lead to amazing sceneries, which is amazing, especially if you are an avid in-game photographer.

These are our top picks of Fallout 4 mods. However, there are many more mods available online. You only have to visit sites like Nexus Mods, where you can browse hundreds of mods and check for new ones every day.
