Nothing satisfies the thirst for a dystopian adventure quite like the Fallout games. With the catastrophic results racked by Fallout 76, you are better off playing another title from the iconic series. Since Fallout 4 is the last great single-player installment you can have fun with, it's a good idea to look into some expansive mods.
Gaming on PC is fun because of this. You get to put whatever you want in your favorite games, unlike console players who are often stuck with the vanilla versions of most titles. Although that's not the case when it comes to Bethesda, you can still enjoy a significantly wider range of supported mods for Fallout 4 on PC.
10 Philip K. Dick Sound-World (3.3 GB)
Mods that make overhaul changes to a game's soundtrack are hard to come by, but Philip K. Dick Sound-World adds an entirely new soundtrack to Fallout 4. The author of this mod was inspired by music ranging from the 1950s to the early 1980s, drawing from famous artists like Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, and Pierre Henry. All of that translates to over four hours of originally-composed music that completely replaces the game's standard score.
The author of this file wanted to pay homage to science-fiction writer Philip K. Dick, and inserted citations from his works in the mod's contents.
9 Creatures And Monsters Of The Commonwealth (3.5 GB)
The various creatures scattered around Fallout 4 are more than terrifying, especially if you take a few trips to The Glowing Sea. Radscorpions that suddenly pop out of nowhere are the stuff of nightmares. Thank you, Bethesda. With the Creatures And Monsters Of The Commonwealth, you can look forward to even more frightening fun times.
The mod itself does not add any new freaky giant insects, but it does tinker around with what's already there. You can think about it in these terms: the wasteland has more species of the same enemy types, with varying body colors, sizes, and textures. The Bloatfly alone has over 70 different possible specimens for you to encounter.
8 Perfect Landscape By Pfuscher (3.7 GB)
Although nuclear bombs devastated The Commonwealth and created revolting mutant bugs, beauty can still be found amid dilapidated valleys and cities. Perfect Landscape By Pfuscher retextures landscapes and renders them in high quality.
If you care about making your game look prettier, this mod is a good grab. Besides, the user who made it also worked on a variety of mods for Skyrim, and ensured this particular file would be compatible with most others (except similar landscape mods). Keep in mind that Perfect Landscapes should specifically go at the bottom of your loader to ensure proper execution.
7 GraFix Texture Overhaul 3a (4.6 GB)
PCs have the ability to make any game look significantly better, unlike consoles. The GraFix Texture Overhaul mod doesn't make crazy changes. This isn't an awesome lighting overhaul like the ones made for Skyrim.
GraFix simply tinkers with the sharpness and contrast of most textures, and slightly improves the game's overall look. Since it's a fairly light mod, it's a great download if you enjoy the base game's visuals and only want a minimum upgrade.
6 PhyOp - Overhauled Optimized Textures (5.9 GB)
Sometimes mods stack up in your folders, and grow to occupy more and more space. Since you might not want to devote your entire available storage to one game, it's a great idea to look for mods that optimize Fallout 4.
This mod notably reduces the weight of the base game's and DLC's textures. It makes 40,962 textures weigh only between 4.54 and 7.66 GB (depending on which version of the mod you get). If you are looking for a way to free up some space, you should seriously consider downloading this.
5 Old World Radio - Boston (6 GB)
The radio is a special component of the Fallout games that makes walking through the wasteland a unique experience. If you enjoy turning it on on your Pip-Boy, you need to get the Old World Radio - Boston mod.
It adds over 300 hours of brand new radio content to listen to, mixed with more than 1500 sound effects. You can expect to hear celebrities, stand-up comedians, and even some YouTubers you may have seen on the platform before.
4 Fallout 4 Mod List And Load Order Guide (7.5 GB)
This one is extremely useful. Since there are so many mods out there, it's rather easy to feel undecided about what to get. This is especially true when it comes to picking mods that are most efficient in terms of game optimization.
This particular one, also known as BiRaitBec Modlist, bundles over a dozen files and provides a detailed installation guide that can help you obtain an amazing Fallout 4 experience. Even if you have little knowledge on downloading and installing mods, the guide found here walks you through every single step.
3 Fo4FI FPS Fix (7.8 GB)
Keeping your frame rate in good shape is important if you care about making Fallout run smoothly. F04FI FPS Fix does just that. The base game can experience sudden frame drops in certain busy areas, like Boston. Nothing breaks immersion quite like recurring visual stutters.
This mod enhances The Commonwealth's entire fluidity, which is impressive as far as performance overhauls go. Luckily, F04FI FPS Fix is compatible with texture mods, although you might experience problems if you installed something that changes the physical locations of pre-existing objects in Fallout 4.
2 Desperados Overhaul (11.6 GB)
Those who love Spaghetti Westerns need to download this mod, which is the second-largest available on the Nexus Mods website. Desperados Overhaul transforms the game landscape from Concord to Atlantic offices, and turns the devastated nuclear winter wasteland into a desert worthy of Clint Eastwood.
If you install this, it would be hard not to roleplay as a revolver-wielding dealer of justice. Desperados Overhaul makes a fantastic job of crafting an immersive western landscape, which lends itself perfectly to gameplay dynamics that revolve around exploration and high-noon showdowns, best experienced with your trusty power armor.
1 Krishna's Garden Of Eden Complete Edition (21.3 GB)
This mod comes with a huge download split into two parts, but both are required. It was last updated on March 11 and is still an ambitious work in progress. Its purpose is to basically make a new game within Fallout 4. You have to start a new save file in order to experience what this mod has to offer.
Krishna's Garden Of Eden is for players who want a wholly alternative experience that forsakes the game's violent dystopia, in favor of a happier and peaceful world. You can fly your house to other places, build settlements, and even travel to new planets. That sounds like an interesting alternative possibility to the Fallout world we know far too well.
