8 Mods that Fix the Most Annoying 'Fallout 4' Issues. This is our roundup of the best practical Fallout 4 mods. A quick console command can tweak your carry weight long enough to get you.

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.

Quick Start Battery Boosters

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.

Fallout 4 is huge, but this day one wiki guide will walk you through every hidden item and secret you want to find on the very first day you play.

Here’s what you’ll want to be sure you do before anything else.

Go Home[edit]

In addition to getting you the inside scoop on Shawn from Codsworth, going home gets you access to a Grognak comic power-up on the kitchen counter and a You're Special stat boost underneath the changing table in Shaun’s bedroom.

Across the street you’ll find Crafting stations (where you can make new things and store your stuff).

The surrounding houses also contain several Safes with useful bits inside.

And Here:

Safes often contain money, ammo, and worthwhile collectibles.

Grab a Fat Man and a Mini Nuke[edit]

It’s good to be prepared. Just east of Sanctuary is the Robotic Disposal Ground. You can find it here. It’s due west of the USAF Satellite Station Olivia past the crash site.

Perched outside the station is a deactivated robot, and atop a pile of junk behind him sits a Fat Man launcher.

Take the launcher, but remember it’s not much good without ammo. Head east to USAF Satellite Station Olivia. Behind a locked door on the first sublevel is a Mini Nuke. To reach it’ you’ll either have to hack the advanced terminal, or head deeper into the basement. There, you’ll find a case in the back room (the one with the roaches) prominently set on a stool. The key to the locked room is inside.

Pick Up the Corvega Storage Key and Laser Musket in Concord[edit]

It’s easy to miss, but after you head down to Concord and help out Preston, you’ll be left with a lot of dead Raiders in the streets. Search them all carefully. One carries a key that opens a locked door inside the Corvega auto plant.

The door is located on the lower floor past the main entrance on the manufacturing floor. There’s a guard turret next to it. Inside the cage is a nice cache of ammunition.

Also don’t miss the Laser Musket just outside the museum next to the dead Raider.

Grab Fusion Cores[edit]

Fusion Cores are absolutely necessary for getting anywhere in Power Armor. They’re a finite resource and should be used conservatively. There are several hidden within an easy walk of Sanctuary, and you can make a point of gathering them all.

The first core is hidden in this cave directly beneath the Red Rocket outside Sanctuary. The cave is protected by Molerats. You’ll find the core on the rightmost of the three branches after entering the cave, on the floor next to the ruined reactor. Grab it quick...this area is radioactive.

Another core is located in the basement of the Museum of Freedom in Concord south of the Red Rocket Truck Stop. It’s easy to get, just follow the collapsed floor at the bottom of the huge main stairwell in the big open room. The core is behind a fence, but an easy terminal hack will open it. Preston Garvey and the Minutemen are in the room above, and you can use the core to help them out and claim a suit of Power Armor for yourself.

You’ll find another core close to Sanctuary east of the town in the basement of the USAF Satellite Station Olivia dominated by the huge satellite dish. The core is located in the large open power room in the basement plugged into a base station.

Another very easy core is located near the robotic reclamation station near the satellite station. The core is located just outside the building, in a large green box next to the robotic body lounging outside the door.

A fifth core is easily accessible on a shelf in the larger of the two storage rooms behind the screen at the Starlight Drive-In.

A sixth core is hidden in the basement of Mystic Pines just south of Rotten Landfill. The core is located in the small basement behind a locked door.

Grab Some Spare Armor[edit]

In addition to the Power Armor you get for helping Preston in Concord, you’ll also be privy to a spare suit located in the woods near a crashed aircraft between USAF Satellite Station and the robotic reclamation plant east of Sanctuary.

The parts here can be stored and used alongside your main suit to bolster and repair, or repaired themselves to give you a spare suit.

Get Power Armor in 5 Minutes

You can use one of your new cores to move the spare suit to Sanctuary or a base of your choice.

Store Your Big Guns[edit]

The Minigun you grab in Concord and the Fat Man are both heavy. You get weighed down quite a bit in Fallout, so drop them in your Workbench storage in Sanctuary for later use. This near-limitless storage area is always just a fast-travel away.

Doing this will allow you to store all of the good weapons you find throughout the game. If you don't want to lose a powerful weapon, store it and come back for it later. There will be plenty of other workbenches you'll find in locations throughout the Commonwealth, just remember where you store your favorite weapons.

Grab the Red Menace Mingame[edit]

The Recreation Terminal in Vault 111 is easy to spot, but early in the game you might not realize that you can take the game tape inside with you and play on the go.

After checking out Red Menace, be sure to grab the tape for gaming joy on the go.
