Must have mods?

[Bahakawits]

So I've had this game for awhile and just got it on computer becuase I heard of this game having cool mods that make it even better. So in your opinion what are some must have mods for this game and where do you get yours from?

well pretty much all mods are at nexus mods except 1. Since you have played this game before you probably don't need to do a vanilla playthrough, etc before modding.

This is a pretty darn good guide to get things set up, what programs to download and how, and a bunch of mods that are nice

sweet man thanks yeah i played vanilla to death on console, you have any specific mods that you love that aren't just typical graphic mods?

well i use hacking and lockpick mods because after playing through dozens of times i don't want to do the lockpick or hacking stuff another 1000 times..

I also don't want to loot places and have to walk all the way back out of dungeons/buildings to head home to offload, Already did that 1000 times also so i use fasttravel from indoors for quicker looting ( i tend to pick up everything)

Radio stutter fix, because ingame radio is broken and need fixing hehe

smoothlight pipboy, because it is just 1000% better than the regular pipboy light

vats no damage reduction, because being immune to damage during vats is stupid

I don't use any of the really big overhaul mods so some might clash you can do homework. Others i have which increase visuals a bit better..

Demistify, fallout street lights, enhanced night sky, pure water, nmc texture pack for inproved textures, the PITT glowing ingots (makes collecting the 100 ingots easier), glowing skill books (makes finding skill books easier)

and the normal ones of course, 4gb, FOSE, unofficial patch, etc
I don't have a current computer so i'm a bit wary of putting in the really big overhaul graphic mods that probably won't work and will crash me due to me running game on a toaster, but maybe in future plays.

FWE is the one and only mod you need to improve everything about the combat in the game.
The game cant be played without it IMO.
