The best Fallout 4 mods in 2020

What are the best Fallout 4 mods on PC? The mod community is out in force, so you have lots to choose from when looking to enhance your adventures in the wasteland. Official PC modding support for Fallout 4 is open for business at the Bethesda Mods page, and the Fallout 4 Nexus has hundreds of mods available. If you are looking to make the game more beautiful, add some new features, or even play as a dog, modding is the way forward.

It's thanks to mods like these that games like Fallout 4 enjoy such longevity after launch, as the best and brightest minds of the internet come together to create more diverse worlds, tweak tiny niggles of the original game's game play, or just add something entirely off-beat for the fun of it.

To celebrate the weird and wonderful creations of the Fallout 4 Modding community, we have picked out more than 50 of the best Fallout 4 mods out there to get you well on your way to a more interesting Boston Wasteland. If that's not enough tinkering for you, check out our list of Fallout 4 console commands.

This Fallout 4 mod is an "ultimate" World of Darkness-like vampire experience

We might not be able to expect Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 to launch until the second half of 2021, but there's still an "ultimate" vampire RPG game experience to sink your hungry little fangs into while you wait. That's thanks to a Fallout 4 mod that offers "a vampire survival experience of personal horror", complete with distinct "bloodlines" featuring their own perks and curses, gameplay changes, and even vampire rankings.

The new, revised Sanguinaire: The Ultimate Fallout 4 Vampire Experience mod by creators Christopher4684 and the Sanguinaire team (in association with the Summaries of Darkness YouTube channel) adds an impressively deep new layer of gameplay to Bethesda's open-world game. It's part inspired by the World of Darkness RPGs as well as Dontnod's Vampyr and real-world mythology. You play a character belonging to one of ten distinct bloodlines, each of which has its own appearance type, traits, perks, and vulnerabilities.

For example, there are the immensely powerful, highly organised, and decidedly deadly "Sanguinem Mortiferum" which boast not only the "normal vampire perks" - things like boosts to endurance, strength, agility, damage resistance, and more - but increased skill with ranged combat. Their specific perks include added VATS melee range, +20% damage when using pistols and rifles, and extra damage resistance on top.

This Fallout 4 mod lets you experience the Commonwealth from an ant's perspective

Sneaking around the Commonwealth wasteland may seem like child's play when you use Stealth Boys, but those camouflaging devices are severely limited - if only there was another way. You've experienced the ups and downs of Fallout 4's story as an average-sized human - now it's time to see what life is like for the tiniest of creatures, with a Fallout 4 mod that introduces a brand-new way to sneak up on dangerous enemies.

El Ha/Zorkaz's Shrink Potion mod turns you into the size of an ant, reducing your detection level by 95%. As you might expect, the world of Fallout 4 hasn't been designed with the vertically challenged in mind, so conquering mighty feats like staircases may prove to be an issue. That being said, if you use the shrink potion at the right time, you should be able to sneak your way through heavily-guarded areas with ease.

Upon installing the mod, you'll be able to purchase shrink potions from Solomon, who's located within Diamond City's marketplace. As you can see from the clip below, you'll need to consider the perspectives of people roaming around because you can still be detected.

CELEBRATE BOMBS DROP DAY WITH A FALLOUT 76 FREE PLAY WEEK & MORE!

In Fallout, October 23 marks the day the bombs fell, the event that started it all.

And it wouldn’t be Fallout if we didn’t throw a party to celebrate the day the world ended! So in honor of this momentous occasion, we’ve got a week of excitement for you to take part in, including a Free Play Week, tons of sales, in-game events, and even a limited preview of Fallout 1st! Get all the details below.

[h2]PLAY FOR FREE![/h2]
If you haven’t had the chance to jump into Fallout 76 yet, now is the best time! From now through October 26, you’ll be able to experience the entire game for free. This includes the base game experience, plus Wastelanders and Nuclear Winter.

As you play through Fallout 76, you’ll also be able to take advantage of all of the new features introduced in our One Wasteland Update, including enemy level rebalancing, which will let you play with anyone, anywhere in the wasteland. There’s also a brand-new Daily Ops system, which rewards you just for playing and completing challenges. Learn more about everything the One Wasteland Update has to offer here.

And, if you decide to get Fallout 76 when the Free Play Week is over, not only will all your progress carry over, but the game and all available content bundles will be on sale!

[h2]IN-GAME EVENTS[/h2]
It wouldn’t be a true celebration without in-game events, and there will be three in-game events running from October 22 - 26. Get Double S.C.O.R.E. and Double XP, and get 25% off Legendary weapons and armor from Purveyor Murmrgh at the Rusty Pick.

[h2]LIMITED FALLOUT 1ST PREVIEW[/h2]
Finally, get a sample of a Fallout 1st membership with the free Fallout 1st Preview. In order to claim it, all you have to do is log in between October 20 and October 26, find the free Fallout 1st Limited Preview “item” in the Atomic Shop, and you’ll have access to some of the features offered with the membership.

This trial will allow you to use the Scrapbox (which will need to be claimed separately through the Fallout 1st section of the Atomic Shop in order to build it in your C.A.M.P.) and Survival Tent. Just like for full Fallout 1st members, the Scrapbox will give you unlimited storage for your crafting components, and the Survival Tent operates as a placeable fast travel point with a Stash, Sleeping Bag, Scrapbox, Instrument and Cooking Station. (The Survival Tent will be located in your Favorites wheel after you activate your preview.)

You will have access to both of these features until the preview ends on October 26. Once the preview ends, anything in your Scrapbox will persist (you won’t lose any of those precious crafting materials!), but you won’t be able to add anything new.

If you pick up the Fallout 1st Limited Preview from the Atomic Shop, you’ll also get a couple of other goodies that Fallout 1st members have access to. This month’s free in-game items are the Mechanic’s Wallpaper and Mechanic’s Floor and Foundation. Like any scrap you place in the Scrapbox, these items will remain yours after the preview ends.

Fallout 4: New Vegas fan project gets a glorious gameplay trailer

Just in time for Fallout: New Vegas' tenth anniversary, a new trailer has dropped for its fan-made remake, Fallout 4: New Vegas. The ambitious mod aims to "rebuild the entire New Vegas experience" within Fallout 4's Creation Engine.

"You'll once again be able to explore the Mojave, visit the town of Goodsprings, take part in the second Battle of Hoover Dam, and experience content which was cut from the original," says the mod's official site. That's no small task, I'm sure you'll agree.

This latest trailer gives us our most extensive look yet at the mod's combat, characters, and world. Straight off the bat, the trailer's presentation has an air of authenticity to it, which thankfully carries into the gameplay itself. The team's loving recreation of New Vegas is both instantly familiar and slightly surreal. That said, from the updated arsenal to its glorious take on the Mojave, everything looks just right. And while we're yet to see the RPG game's most iconic locale - the New Vegas Strip - the results shown here are nothing short of spectacular.
