You do not need to actually play the game but I personally like to launch the game itself and just start it up briefly before exiting of course thats optional and does not matter at all it is something I do out of habit. 4K users can max out if they have a 4K rig or even a high end rig. If you have a decent or even good rig you should be able to pretty much max everything out especially on 1080p. You can always return here or even change settings in the ini files but I always like to do a base setting setup. Once installed launch your game and once you get to the splash screen pick all your settings out. Preferably on a ssd to reduce load times.

Whenever you download a mod whether its from this guide or on your own volition check the requirements and make sure you meet them ahead of time as some of these essential mods require files that aren't on nexus but they will give you a download link. Nexus website for Fallout 4 [I'll do my best to keep this guide updated if any mod becomes outdated and i haven't tweaked feel free to notify me.

Use after finishing your load order and then move any specific esps as needed.įinally you'll need a nexus account so you can download the mods on there. This tool works with all bethesda titles so its pretty damn useful.

I generally will sort using loot and then manually move anything that needs to sit anywhere specifically. Not sure if required to reset for mo2 or vortex but on NMM its a click away.Īlongside that stuff you may want to grab LOOT especially if your planning on heavy load orders. [Whenever you add any sort of texture mods you'll want to reset this. You'll have to do a bit more work with MO2 or Vortex so heres a quick guide made by m8r98a4f2.

NMM also has the easiest form of Archive Invalidation compared to any other mod manager as in the case of fallout 4 you just reset it with one button. Use what you prefer of course but I cannot help you troubleshoot very well if you use Vortex (which is probably the worst thing to use other than like FOMM) or MO2. It is also a common misconception that NMM is abandoned as it gets community updates regularly. I cannot say the same for the other two managers with my personal experiences. I use Winrar for nearly a decade on many games not just bethesda titles and with very little to no issues.

You'll need an unzipping tool for manual mods as not every mod will be MM compliant. So either I will give you a no-AWKCR alt or you just do not use the mod

This will also be a No-AWKCR build as that mod is outdated as hell and there are a good amount of mods that rely on it. Also avoid the free HD texture pack dlc!!! A it bloats the crap out of your game size, B it doesn't even look that good and C I will provided modded alternatives in the QOL/gameplay changes section of the guide that not only look better but cost a fraction of the size and performance of that texture pack. Not sure how it will fare with EGS variants as everyone I know that has games on that terrible store complains about modding.

This guide/mod list was also tested on pretty much exclusively on windows 10 (previously 7) and is also for the steam version of this game. You can still use this guide with the base game but certain mods are intended to be used with all dlc so if said mod doesn't have base game options I would avoid downloading the mod. The game goes on sale fairly often for a good price. Please have the GOTY edition for this game if possible before starting this guide.
