About this mod
This is not a guide and definitely not a "collection"...
Considering there are no ultimate definitions for modding these are my preferences. Search, try and enjoy your time in the wasteland!
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
An enhanced alternative for a journey that works well in first players or the ones exploring the wasteland once again keeping the dramatic and comical feeling this world always offered. Long time fan of the series, I intend to not totally dismiss the actual game mechanics keeping a lore friendly content by achieving a more interesting and challenging experience.
☆ Improved experience!
☆ Balance and lore friendly focus!
☆ Designed for a stable gameplay!
☆ Equilibrium between performance and quality!
☆ Lots of immeerrrrrrrssssion!

“Like Tears in Rain...”
Requirements and other concerns!
- Legit copy of Fallout 4 with all DLCs (except HD Texture Pack).
- A new game installation outside of any Windows UAC directories like Program Files or other default Windows folders.
- The latest VC++ Redistributable: VC++ AIO, 2015-2022 X64 and 2015-2022 X86.
- Basic notion of modding and the used tools.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
- Disable Automatic Steam Updates by setting it to "Only update this game when I launch it".
- Before proceeding run the game from the official launcher. This will generate necessary files and detect folder paths for important tools.
This mod list doesn't support the Bethesda "Next-Gen" update, instead uses a downgrader for a previous version. Please consider it when selecting files suggested as some mods may offer both options. Also a few links will lead you to older files on purpose.
I strongly recommend to check The Midnight Ride guide for its great explanations and considered choices to create the best core for your modded game. Its the only reason I got back to update my mod list and it is obviously a inspiration. Kudos to the team!

- Reaper0666 for creating a extended texture mod list and letting me upload it's work. Help on settings and mods integration. Big kudos!
- HeliX2K for all suggestions and in-game testing on mods and tweaks. It's easy to be lost in all the good mods out there. Thanks!
- To all mod authors and their collaborators presented on this list and the modding community. I could never play this game without them!
- Blade Runner movies for all the quotes and inspiration of this page! R.I.P. Rutger Hauer. Your words are immortal!
- And thank you for endorsing and your feedback!
Have a look and find support for multiple questions on the Collective Modding discord. I have my section at Mod Author HUB -Mortercotic-mods.
