Mods to make fallout 4 more like 3 and NV?

[Cremchez]

I have played all the Fallouts up till now but I have read a lot of reviews about how this game, while great, isn't as much an RPG as the previous games. Therefore I have held off from buying it thus far. My question is, have people made enough mods yet to make this game more like the originals and if so which mods do you recommend to get me to that state?

I am aware they are putting out a "Survival" mode, but that sounds even more like a hardcore mode for FPS players than a RPG - Skills/Stats develop your character game.

I'm sure the game is great as is for people who like it, I'm just more of a RPGer so interested in how to make this game enjoyable for me.

Thanks in advance for any constructive input.

Come back after year.

And An RPGer? What kind? Role player? Class builder? Combat lover?

[Cremchez]

Role Player and Class Builder. Combat is ok but I like sinking into the character and developing them.

[Pancakes]

Humm, just pick shadow runner returns instead maybe.

It is like fallout 3 and far superior to NV imo. No mods are required.

[Cremchez]

Thanks XBoom I'll certainly look into it!

JOW thanks for your input as well.

I would say you need at least wait a whole year from now, my guess is 2 years. because in order to make a better dialog/choice system we need to have A LOTS OF voice actings

Your opinion is terrible.

[𝕊𝕋𝕌ℝ𝕄-𝕂𝔸𝕋]

first off, graphic and audio improvement mods are essential to get this game off the ground.

You WILL notice limitations that are incredibly baffling as to why they are present in a PC game - only to realise that PC gamers are all having to make do with a low-end port from a console version. The lighting seems to have been given a lot of attention, but you will see how they made their console game by trimming off all the texture quality and polygons.

This will take a while at first to set up to your liking, I can give you a few links to get you started with the basic essentials, the rest can be a matter of taste:

If you are going down the route of modding items and crafting, I recomend that you read up on settlement keywords (SK), armour and weapon keywords community resource (AWKCR).

Keywords resources

These are modding resources to help manage keywords/ID limits that are present in the game. Basically, having these master files will allow you to handle more mods, that are made to run with these resource mods, without reaching a level cap that seems to be present in the game (Yes, yes, just read up on it, in the links, then you'll know what I'm talking about).

• Settlement Keywords[www.nexusmods.com]
  
• AWKCR[www.nexusmods.com]

Environmental, UI and Visual mods links

These mods are Lore friendly and are designed to add immersive environmental changes to allow for more of a challenge and also to bring it up to spec somewhat. There are a few types but I'll list the main ones that I use:

• Darker Nights[www.nexusmods.com]
  
• True Storms[www.nexusmods.com] (Requires patch from darker nights' page - see installation section on true storms' description page).
  
• No More Cash Register Sound[www.nexusmods.com]
  
• High Res textures[www.nexusmods.com]
  
• Road Signs high res[www.nexusmods.com]
  
• CommonwealthHQ lanscape[www.nexusmods.com]
  
• Pip Boy Shadows[www.nexusmods.com]
  
• Reverb and Ambiance Overhaul[www.nexusmods.com]
  
• Rock Overhaul[www.nexusmods.com]
  
• Full Dialogue Interface[www.nexusmods.com]

Some optional files that you may like are:
Eyewear and Mask Retexture[www.nexusmods.com]
Power Armour HUD transparency[www.nexusmods.com]
M-16 Assault Rifle[www.nexusmods.com]
M-14 Assault Rifle[www.nexusmods.com]
Wasteland Sniper Suit[www.nexusmods.com]

Installing these mods, will drastically change the immersion and feel of the game into something that wipes the floor with the vanilla AHEMconsoleAHEM version.


Once you have improved the visuals and gameplay, you may want to look at crafting, which is why it is beneficial to have those Keyword resource files, that I mention above, installed.

The weapons and clothing are able to be modified in FO4, at a workbench, as are most of the modded stuffs! :D

Make sure you thoroughly read all descriptions, file version info, posts, video reviews, patches/updates and bug reports BEFORE installing mods

Enjoy

No no its still a bad opinion, your entilted to have one yes, but doesn't make them good, does matter what you say, you can only polish a turd so much. I don't hate it, funny how its you must love it and worship it as the best or you hate it. It was great once upon a time, but now I fall asleep playing it, same with new vegas I played them both pretty good, and they bore the snot out of me now with out a mod to make it fresh its just dull.

You guys are just treating them like ex wives is all, you don't go back to them, so you just look at the good memories in your head and think "aww that was nice," meanwhile I am the friend who buts in when you talk about your ex going "ain't that the one that set your clothes on fire, with you still in them?" Its how these people come off, and its not al lI know that there is also fanboys here the ones who can't stand to see their old fave out sold, and beat like a dog they consider it herorcy to call anything but first one they played the best. You see these in all shapes and sizes New Vegas kids arguing with Fallout 3 kids, and even the real old ones Rambling about the vintage ones and few hipsters trying feel more grown up talking up the retro one because its what their dad they hate but still want to be like played.

Then you got the ones who hate just because its popular, they see this is seling doing amazing, so they got come in andcomplain. The do it with every sequal that does better then its predocesor, and every new movie in a franchise. They show up to just argue, doesn't matter what its about to them its an easy arguemnt just say the one before was better, then the fanboys of that one will show up and they just flame baited a huge argument on the net.

Hello there

If I was OP I would play something else until quite some time after the GECK is released.

Im aching to play Fallout 4, but as it stands, its just not for me, just like Skyrim when initially released.

For me, it's the mods that make these games worth playing and make them tailorable to each of our own individual tastes.

There *are* loads of great mods out there, some you may like and others you may not, but they are on the whole fairly basic (no offence to modders) and the real meat will come after the last DLC's are released and we have the GECK in our sweaty irradiated paws.

Thats not to say you cant have a fun modded time now, but *if* you can, I'd advise you to wait.

Thanks everyone who provided input, I appreciate anyone who takes the time to replying!!

Master Dan I will read through all that information and make sure it all makes sense but it is a great mod start-off so thanks for that!

[Cremchez]

Thanks LoK, your approach has been what mine has been up to this point. Like you, I love playing modded versions of these games and have a nicely modded version of 3 that I just set up to try out and keep myself entertained for a while. It is actually what got me wondering how far along the FO 4 mods were coming. :)

plz play new vegas, get out of fo4.
