Gameplay Mods
[edit]
These mods update gameplay mechanics to make Fallout 4 a more functional experience.
Full Dialogue Interface
[edit]
This mod by Cirosan and Shadwar removes the four vague response prompts and replaces them with the full text of what your character will say, similar to the dialogue options in Fallout 3 and New Vegas. There's also a French and Russian translation available.
There's a 'Lite' version for gamepad users, though it currently lacks the proper formatting to keep longer responses from being cropped off the screen.
Craftable Ammunition
[edit]
Windows 10 lock screen not showing. Instead of frantically searching for ammo while simultaneously collecting dozens of useless spare parts, why not put that junk to good use and craft yourself some bullets? Thanks to Xylozi's mod, this functionality is now enabled - and it sort of begs the question 'Why wasn't this included to begin with?'
More Armor Slots
[edit]
This simple mod by Abbalovesyou allows you to equip armor pieces (arms, legs, chest, etc) on top of most of the basic clothing items, such as suits, flannels, jeans and more. While the in-game models may not always line up correctly, this is an excellent mod for a slightly more realistic outfitting experience.
Lowered Weapons
[edit]
Do you find it odd that, by default, your character walks around casually aiming their weapon at anyone and anything? This mod by lesma666 swaps the default first-person carry animation with a more relaxed and natural weapon position.
Easy Lockpicking
[edit]
Fallout 4 Evil Mod 3
The Iron Rose apparently hates picking locks, and if you do, too, you should definitely install this mod that lets you crack every lock on the first try. While you still have to unlock the Advanced, Expert and Master lockpicking perks, this definitely means opening doors and scoring loot much easier.
Easy Hacking
[edit]
This mod by zilav will force any terminal you're capable of hacking (Novice, Advanced, Expert or Master) to only display the correct password option, instead of making you slave away at a tiresome minigame. This definitely helps make opening doors and finding loot much easier.
Favorites Menu Quick Item Switch
[edit]
This mod by SombreErmine automatically confirms your Favorites Menu selection for you instead of you needing to press 'A' on your controller or 'Enter' on your keyboard. This is especially helpful for people who play with a controller if they're in the heat of battle and don't want to take their finger off the right control stick.
Placeable houses for settlemnts
[edit]
Tired of taking a long time to build houses for your various settlements? Need more buildings for Sanctuary fast? Try using this mod made by Jyasu that allows you to plop houses into your settlement.

It should be noted that it can be a bit tedious to get the houses in the right position to be placed on the ground. It helps to rotate the structures and move around before you get the spot where a house can be placed. Some settlements may be a bit more difficult to work with than others, but with a little patience you can give any settlement a ton of new homes.
The mod comes with an additional 13 new structures that are premade and can be placed in almost any settlement in the game.
Audio Mods
[edit]
These mods may replace or add music/audio files to make Fallout 4 sound slightly different.
Hotline Miami combat music replacement[edit]
This mod by HittingGuide45 replaces most of the combat music found in Fallout 4 with music from the Hotline Miami games.
This mod not only replaces the combat music but also audio like the main menu music and death sounds which add a different feeling to the game.
John Cena Fat Man Mod by Schallen
[edit]
This mod replaces Fat Man firing sounds with the John Cena theme.
Macho man idiot savant Sound
[edit]
Are you a fan of the Macho Man Randy Savage? Well this mod from Rishlite allows you to hear the glorious 'OH YEAH' every time you place a lot of resources within one of your selttlements.
The mod also changes the Pip Boy icon picture that pops up each time you earn extra experience to a picture of Macho Man Randy Savage. Everything is better with a little Randy Savage giving you props for doing well.
Fun Game Mods
[edit]
Macho Claws
[edit]
This mod from creators AronaxAE and FancyPants is based on the Macho Dragons mod from TESV: Skyrim. It takes the default skin / audio package for the Deathclaws in Fallout 4 and replaces them with everybody's favorite pro wrestler Macho Man Randy Savage.
These mods not only change up a lot elements to the gameplay of Fallout 4, but they also have a slew of neat effects that offer a lot of fun.
Star Wars Lightsaber Mod
[edit]
Fallout4 StarWarsMod01.jpg
There are a few Star Wars related mods that have come up in the community. This mod from Moraelin allows your character to wield a Lightsaber and bring the power of the force to the Wasteland.
The mod itself comes with four different colored lightsabers, along with unique animations and light sources for when your character wields them. You can find Blue, Red, Green, or Pink lightsabers when you install the mod.
STar Wars Darth Vader Helmet Mod
[edit]
Fallout4 StarWarsMod02.jpg
If using a lightsaber in Fallout 4 just isn't enough for you and your Star Wars fandom, here's something else for you.
This mod from Shigen gives you the chance to wear Darth Vader's mask in the Commonwealth. Show them the power of the Dark Side of the Force and become a true Lord of the Sith. The mod itself is a Power Armor helmet that has its properties changed to look like Darth Vader.
Shawn Baby Nuke Launcher
[edit]
Fallout4 BabyNukeMod01.jpg
Ever wanted to launch a baby from a nuke launcher? As sick as that may sound, you can do so with this mod from Trainwiz. This mod changes all Mini-Nukes that are launched from a Fat Man into the model of your child Shawn.
Every time you fire the Fat Man, a small baby will be launched out. It may be somewhat messed up, but it definitely still packs quite a destructive punch.
Comments
'After receiving a lead to a condemned apartment complex on the outskirts of West Roxbury, you are compelled to visit it.' You probably wouldn't guess it, but that's the setup for a Fallout 4 mod (OK, sure, West Roxbury kinda gives it away, but play along). It's called Claustrophobia, and it's a little house of horrors inspired by Silent Hill 2 and Resident Evil 1 built entirely within Fallout 4.
Claustrophobia creator Supernath97 describes the mod as 'a fan homage to the cancelled Silent Hills game,' and says it takes about 30 minutes to complete once you make your way to the condemned apartment, which is apparently filled with unkillable monsters and secret notes. There's also a custom Deathclaw (created by modder Hopper31), which makes it sound a bit like an extension of Devil's Due, a sidequest that sends you to a creepy mansion turned Deathclaw nest, one of my favorite quests.
'Unveil its long forgotten story and explore its tight halls filled with unnerving creaks and squeaks,' Supernath97 says. 'Mannequins taunt you every corner, walls turn inward and the layout seems impossible.'
Head to Nexus Mods for download and installation instructions for Claustrophobia and its requisite mod manager. And have a gander at these spooky screenshots:
I saw a HUNK model from the resident evil 2 remake at the Garry's Mod Workshop on steam, maybe someone can get in contact with the mod author (Auditor) and get the model converted to the CE for Fallout 4.
Fallout 4 Resident Evil
It would look perfect on Fallout 4 i'm surprised there are no Mr. Death mods on the Nexus, hell he even has his own gas mask for the nuclear wasteland!
here's a link to the mod on Steam: https://steamcommuni../?id=1639925476
This mod would be a mod of the month in a day, there's a lack of male outfits on the Nexus and this one is just perfect.
