Before Installing Mods
[edit]

The first step to modding any game is to make a backup of all of your games files, including any loose configuration files. In the case of Fallout 4, these are found (by default) in:

C: > Program Files (x86) > Steam > SteamApps > Common > Fallout 4

C: > Users > [Your Profile] > My Documents > My Games > Fallout 4

Copying these files will ensure that, in the event of a catastrophic failure on your part (or if you just want to start from a clean install), you don't have to download and re-install the game.

In order to make your copy of Fallout 4 mod-friendly, you need to edit two configuration files, Fallout4.ini and Fallout4Prefs.ini. By default, these are located in:

C: > Users > [Your Profile] > My Documents > My Games > Fallout 4

In Fallout4.ini, repalce the line sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS (under the [Archive] section), with:

sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS, TEXTURES, MUSIC, SOUND, INTERFACE, MESHES, PROGRAMS, MATERIALS, LODSETTINGS, VIS, MISC, SCRIPTS, SHADERSFX

In Fallout4Prefs.ini, scroll to the bottom to find the [Launcher] section. Directly beneath the [Launcer] header, enter:

bEnableFileSelection=1

If this line already exists, make sure that the value is set to 1 and not 0.

How to Install Mods Using NMM
[edit]

The video above explains how to install mods via NMM.

Before Installing any mods, follow the instructions above to back up your game files and enable modding for Fallout 4.

Nexus Mod Manager is the easiest way to install many mods for Fallout 4, as it eliminates most of the hassle of installing mods manually.

Once you've created an account and installed the manager, log into your Nexus account in the manager to enable direct downloads. To login, click on the profile icon in the bottom-left corner of the manager window - keep in mind, the popup may open behind the main NMM program window.

When you find a mod you want to install, simply click on the files tab of the mod's Nexus page and select the files / version you want to download, then click Download With Manager on those files.

Once the download completes and you have read all of the installation instructions provided by the creator, simply double-click on the mod or select it and press the Enable Mod button (the green checkmark on the left) to install and activate the mod.

If your game crashes during play or on startup, open the Plugins tab of the manager and make sure that your load order is arranged correctly.

How to Install Mods Manually
[edit]

The video above explains how to manually install mods for Fallout 4.

Before Installing any mods, follow the instructions above to back up your game files and enable modding for Fallout 4.

While Nexus Mod manager has been update to support files for Fallout 4, some mods may still require players to install files manually. The best way to avoid errors in this is to read all of the installation instructions carefully before installing any files.

Installing mods manually may seem like a daunting task, but in many cases it's a much simpler job than one might think. Apart from scripting tools (such as the FOSE for Fallout 3 / New Vegas) or lighting overhauls (like Boris Voronstov's ENBseries), almost all of the mod files will be installed into the Data folder of your game's directory. By default, the directory is installed to:

C: > Program Files (x86) > Steam > SteamApps > Common > Fallout 4

When you've downloaded your mod files, use a file extracter such as WinRar or 7zip to extract the files into the Data folder. If your mod contains plugins, such as a .esp or .esm, simply copy those files into the data folder on their own. If the mod contains loose files - such as a folder lablelled 'Meshes' or 'Strings' or something - copy the entire folder into Data.

Before launching the game, open the Fallout 4 launcher then exit it to activate your mods.

Until the official modding tools for Fallout 4 are released, it is unlikely that the launcher will feature a Data Files tab to configure your mod load order.

In order to ensure that your mods are installed, you'll need to manually check and setup the game's plugin list. This file can be found (by default) in:

C: > Users > [Your Profile] > App Data > Local > Fallout 4

In the Fallout 4 folder in App Data, open plugins.txt- if your installations were successful, you should see your .esp or .esm files listed beneath Fallout4.esm. If they aren't listed there, manually enter the file names and save the document, then launch the game.

In this post, we’re about to take a look at some of the best Fallout 4 Graphics Mods for Xbox One in 2019. These are mods that change the game world, perhaps by changing textures, meshes or effects. Luckily, the Xbox has quite a few options obtainable.

You can see the top ten list below, where all of the buttons link back to Bethesda.net. The mods below aren’t in any explicit order. If you would like to check out some more Fallout 4 content we’ve covered, check here!

GREEN in the COMMONWEALTH

This is one of my favorite mods, particularly on pc. Rather than the Commonwealth looking brown and dead, plants are going to be flourishing everywhere making it look a lot of alive and livable. You have to question the realism of course, but it’s an excellent mod that changes the look of the game.

BETTER GRAPHICS AND WEATHER

Better Graphics and Weather offers some graphical enhancements to Fallout 4, primarily by changing the weather and lighting systems. The developer hasn’t provided a lot of info regarding the mod, except that it’ll conflict with other mods of the same kind that you use.

VIVID FALLOUT – all in ONE

Vivid Fallout is a combination of mods that change the textures of the landscape in Fallout 4. It turns things like dirt, rocks, grass, trees and much more. This one though may be a combination of all the Vivid mods. It’s one among the best graphics mod out there, making a significant improvement to the appearance of the game.

HEALTHIER COMMONWEALTH

Healthier Commonwealth is comparable to green within the Commonwealth above, within the sense that it adds new grass, bushes, flowers, and trees to the game making it look more alive. You’ll have to evaluate both this mod and green within the Commonwealth to make a decision which one you like.

WINTER OVERHAUL

Winter Overhaul makes the game world snowy, utterly changing the appearance of forests and lakes. The developer states that this mod remains in development, with a more substantial version coming shortly. Some other mods are recommended to be installed, like ones that offer snowy weather.

REALISTIC ROADS – BLACK ASPHALT

This mod changes the roads in Fallout 4 to have black asphalt, giving them a more realistic appearance than the bland grey roads presently within the vanilla game. There’s an opportunity that this mod might clash with the Vivid Fallout all in one mod if it replaces the road textures.

WET – WATER enhancement TEXTURES

WET entirely overhauls water in Fallout 4, changing its look and animations. It offers new water surface textures, new splash, and foam effects and adds new rain effects to the game. It’s a small modification, but positively noticeable.

NATURAL COMMONWEALTH

Natural Commonwealth, also called NAC is an all in one weather, lighting and visual mod. It changes loads of things in Fallout 4 like weather systems, lighting, NPC appearance, post-processing, darker nights and much more. If you would like an easy way to overhaul the game, this is probably the mod for you.

CALAMITY WEATHERS

Calamity Weathers is another weather mod. But this one aims to make the game feel a lot of dark and gritty, rather than colorful. The developer says the mod aims to replicate the atmosphere that you get from the metro games.

CROSS CRIT GORE-OVERHAUL

Instead of changing the appearance of the game world, CROSS Crit Gore-overhaul changes how tons of particles look in combat. The mod overrides the default fire, Laser, AlienLaser, and Plasma significant effects. Rather than leaving behind an ash pile, characters can die from those elements.
