Fallout 4 is an open-world Action RPG by Bethesda. It first released in 2015 to widespread critical acclaim and till this day remains a massively popular title. Given its popularity, there are now a huge amount of great fan made mods that you can download to improve the experience even more. From graphical improvements to major gameplay overhauls, there is everything you could think of. In this article, I will be listing the top 10 best ones to download.
Best Fallout 4 Mods
10. Fallout 4 HD Overhaul 2K Mod
Being a 2015 title, Fallout 4 can sometimes look a little bit dated compared to today’s standards. More specifically, the textures can appear muddy and undetailed in the game. This mod fixes that by completely overhauling the textures and by replacing them with HD ones. In addition to all this, the mod also improves the performance of the game while reducing VRAM consumption.

7. Darker Nights Mod
The nights in Fallout 4 aren’t completely dark. In fact, it can be hard to know whether night has fully fallen in the game. This mod makes the nights substantially darker. It adds seven different optional darkness levels. Interiors are also made darker with this mod. All in all, it helps to make the game even more realistic.

6. Lowered Weapons Mod
After playing Fallout 4 for a bit, you will probably notice that your character never lowers their weapon in first-person mode. This can break the immersion to a degree, as it is quite unrealistic for your weapon to constantly stay raised outside of combat. If this bothers you at all, then you will definitely want to check out this mod below!

5. See Through Scopes Mod
This mod also further improves the level of realism in the game. More specifically, it allows you to see through the scope of many different weapons in the game as opposed to relying on a relay. It also comes with different zoom options for the scopes ranging from 2 times to 8 times.

4. Improved Map With Visible Roads Mod
It is no secret that the map in the vanilla Fallout 4 game can be a bit difficult to follow at times. Thankfully, this mod addresses this issue. It gives you access to a much higher contrast map with all the roads, topography and waterlines now easily visible. With this installed, it should be a lot easier to navigate around the game’s open-world.
