Fallout 4 gets sand, sea, and sunshine in this new Fallout: Miami mod trailer

Beautiful beaches. Swaying palm trees. A half-eaten, rotten shark surrounded by ghouls, presumably still wearing the same sunglasses they did when the radiation turned them all flakey. Truly, the stuff that unforgettable holiday dreams are made of. A new environmental showcase trailer for the seriously impressive-looking Fallout: Miami mod for Fallout 4 has all of the above, plus drunken bar fights, and some seriously annoyed-looking mutant alligators.

First announced in 2018, the "DLC-sized" mod has been a considerable undertaking, but if the new trailer is anything to go by, it's been well worth the wait. Last year, the team opted to start over with a new world to better optimise the final release. If you're eager for a sample of what that finished result will end up looking like, that early version is still available to download.

Note that you'll need Fallout 4 and every official DLC expansion to run the mod. Once installed, you'll find a bus at the southeastern edge of the Commonwealth which will allow you to access Miami.

Fallout 4 helped UFC fighter Angela Hill overcome her haters

Escaping into an RPG game like Fallout 4 can be extremely therapeutic. For UFC fighter Angela 'Overkill' Hill, getting lost in Bethesda's nuclear wasteland was vital for shutting out the naysayers as she prepared for her MMA comeback.

Speaking on the Noclip podcast, Hill talks about how Fallout 4 rekindled her love of videogames after being dropped from the UFC, distracting her from online vitriol so she could regroup and move forward. "When I was playing Fallout, and just shutting myself off from the rest of the world and all the naysayers who were saying horrible stuff like 'Angela Hill sucks, she's going to do horrible in Invicta too, she should just quit, she should retire, she's too old to even think about getting back to the UFC'," she says. "All this stuff I'm like 'Why am I looking at this?'. It's never worse than what you tell yourself, but to hear someone else say it always hurts just a little bit more."

After losing her first two fights with the promotion, Hill was dropped from UFC at the tail-end of 2015, right when Fallout 4 first launched. She signed with all-women promotion Invicta soon after, leading to a four-win streak that had her back in the Ultimate Fighting Championship for February 2017. Playing the open-world game helped her find her center, and stop worrying about what her detractors had to say: "Instead of looking at that stuff any more, I was like 'alright I'm done, I'm not going to Google myself, I'm just going to play this game and get really into that.'"

Fallout 4 console commands and cheats

What Fallout console commands are there? Fallout 4 is a game with a thousand systems all clicking and whirring driving its Boston wasteland. Since you're playing the game on PC, those systems are easily exploited by typing a few things into the game's developer console. If you're feeling like you'd like to make a few tweaks to how the game plays, or even just simply 'magic' up a few free items into your inventory by cheating, then these Fallout 4 console commands are exactly what you need.

The following Fallout 4 cheats encompass pretty much every, really: you can turn on god mode, or become an actual god by deciding who lives and dies, even without the massive energy weapon you've painstakingly crafted. And, speaking of laser-powered boomsticks, you can magic those into the game via console commands in Fallout 4, too.

If you're looking for specific add-ons rather than outright hacks for Bethesda's Bostonian setting, you will almost certainly find joy in our list of Fallout 4 mods. But, if it's Fallout 4 cheats and console commands you're looking for, this guide has your covered when it comes to how you enter them, and the tweaks you have at your disposal.

This Fallout 4 mod adds Halo's plasma rifles to the wasteland

Master Chief has been to some desolate places, but he's yet to walk the wasteland of a nuclear disaster. A mod that adds Halo's plasma rifles to Fallout 4 brings that fantasy closer to reality.

Posted on Reddit by creator rukeen2, the work-in-progress add-on looks very faithful to the FPS game original going by the attached gameplay clip. The weapon has the distinctive purple metal sheen, and Halo-riffic pew-pew, as it blasts through some enemies. In the inventory, he switches to the red-and-silver Brute rifle, an addition that's sold some longtime Halo in the replies. The only difference between the two appears to be aesthetic at present.

The mod looks impressive in its current version, but there's more work to be done to get the rifles exactly as they are in the Halo series. Right now, they don't overheat or run out of charge, and the creator asks for help in the top reply to make them do so. Some helpful suggestions underneath might mean we get access to a finished product sooner rather than later - for now we just have this footage and a hope for more.

Horizon Zero Dawn comes to Fallout 4 with this authentic Aloy mod

Some of the best Fallout 4 mods to have popped up in recent months include those that tie - directly or indirectly - into some of the other best PC games out there. Craig the Halo Infinite Brute, Red Redemption 2-like Fallout 4 environments, and a The Last of Us crossover are now possible, thanks to some modders' efforts. Now, in perfect time to celebrate the Horizon Zero Dawn PC release date, a Fallout 4 mod brings in the action-RPG game's hero to The Commonwealth.

The aptly named 'Aloy preset' mod by creator Navy5465 adds HZD's flame-haired warrior protagonist as a preset option when creating your Fallout 4 survivor, and it's an authentic recreation. Along with her green eyes and recognisable facial features, the Fallout 4 Aloy also draws on some existing mods to create her faithfully, including her distinctive garb and windswept hairstyle.

It looks like her signature bow and spear are missing, but not to worry - there are some existing mods out there to scoop up if you're keen to give her the power to take out The Commonwealth's bandits the way she knows how.
