Fallout 4 Mods Options

[SubRosa]

I thought I would make a separate mod topic for Fallout 4, since having mods for FO3, NV, and 4 would be a little crowded for one thread.

I started FO4 a few days ago, and quickly came across some must have mods to simply play the game at all.

The Fallout 4 Script Extender - F4SE = Just like the other Beth games, this is a necessary utility.

Mod Organizer 2.0 = The successor to FOMM, for your mod installing and load order sorting needs. Not as good as FOMM, but it is better than nothing.

LooksMenu = This gives you a list of body parts to choose from when creating a character, rather than playing hunt-the-pixel by mousing over every speck of your characters face to see what you can change and what you cannot.

Valkyr Female Face and Body Textures = A much more natural-looking texture. Not as plastic and shiny looking as the vanilla textures are.

Ponytail Hairstyles = From our old friend Azar. Because you never want the vanilla hair in a Bethesda game.

CC's Improved Hair Colors = Because every hair color in the vanilla game is brown.

True Eyes = Improved eye textures.

Face Ripper = For copying faces between characters.

Full Dialog Interface = So you actually know what we are saying.

Dot Instead Of Crosshair = Gives you a small, unobtrusive dot instead of those big ugly crosshairs. As an added bonus you can actually see exactly what you are aiming at.

Moon Size Adjuster = Allows you to make the moon larger. A little bit goes a long way. I went with 1.5x, the smallest increase.

Moon - Beautiful Hi Res Texture = Looks much better than the vanilla moon.

Visible Galaxy 4k = Comes with the stars too. Much better than the vanilla night sky.

No Smoking = Because its gross. Not to mention there would not be any cigarettes or cigars lefter after 200 years.

My first Fallout game was Fallout Tactics, and it had straight up real world guns, like the M2 Browning, Beretta M92, Colt .45, P220 Sig, and so on. The energy weapons were naturally all fictional though.

Fallout 1 predated that, and had a mix, with a generic assault rifle that looked similar to the H&K G3 that we saw in FO3, a Hunting Rifle that looked a lot like an M1 Carbine, and so on. Then there were real guns like a .44 Desert Eagle, a 9mm Mauser, etc... Fallout 2 was also a mix of real and fictional weapons, but with more real ones than fictional.

Even a lot of New Vegas' guns were real, even if they did not use the names. The Anti-Material Rifle is a straight up Hecate II. The 9mm pistol looks a lot like a Browning Hi-Power to me. The .44 Magnum is of course exactly what the name says. Likewise the Western Revolver, Ranger Sequia, Police Pistol, .45 Auto Pistol, and Battle Rifle, Assault Carbine, Service Rifle, Marksman's Carbine, etc... are all copies of real weapons.

So real weapons have been a part of the Fallout series in the past. Bethesda seems more keen to do the fictional ones. I just wish they would do a better job in their art design. As it is, I think the real ones just plain look better and are more believable than their made-up ones. I mean, I cannot imagine anyone carting around that gigantic beast of an assault rifle in F4.
