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.

Now that I figured out how to replace the meshes of weapons, I am creating mods to replace most of the vanilla weapon meshes with modded ones. So far I have replaced the vanilla assault rifle with the M4A1, and the combat rifle with the M2216.

I am thinking about what to replace the Hunting Rifle with next. I was originally going to use the DKS-501 mod. But the trouble is the vanilla hunting rifle is a pretty ordinary bolt-action rifle at low levels. It only turns into a sleek sniper rifle at higher levels. So it would be better to have a more ordinary-looking rifle that could bridge both types. Like the M1 Garand or M14.

Or I could try to just replace the higher level OMODs for the hunting rifle with the DKS ones. So it looks like the vanilla rifle at low level, but the DKS at high level. But that might be tough to pull off and have it all work.

I am still not sure about the Pipe guns. I know I want to replace them. I am just not sure what with. I see three specific Pipe Guns in the CK - The Pipe Bolt Action, Pipe Gun, and Pipe Revolver. I am thinking of replacing them with some pistol mods, like the M9, the M1911, and the Sig Sauer P220. But I would like to see some Eastern Bloc/Kalishnikov style weapons in the game too, so I might use the AK-74M for one of them,

Not sure about the Combat Shotgun either. I am thinking either the IF-88 or the M1014

I'd like to replace the Flamer with something that looks more like an actual flame thrower. But I have not come across any flamer mods.

Re: Hunting Rifle
Khajiit would suggest replacing it with another bolt action rifle, unless you want to change the animations and rate of fire.

Oh, and this one HATES the look of the vanilla "Assault Rifle". Looks more like one of those watercooled static machine guns from WWI. Not sure why they didn't just stick to the R91. That would've been fun to mod!
