Fallout 4 in 2024

[dipgi]

So I am also on the hype train after watching the TV show. My steam shows my last gameplay was almost 5-6 years back. But i have fired up the baby, did some ini editing for my new hardware, and its running fine. Now the question is do I need to mod it or not for a fresh playthough. My previous experience is modding makes the game far better experience. But I do not know if it still required for the current version! Please help me out guys for any link to the must have mods for 2024.
Thanks in advance!

Well, to each his own ...

I use 100 +/- mods: repair all settlements to a believable state, very lore friendly. Add some extra space, use some existing building (like the "apartments" in Hangman Alley) etc.
Some weapons mods, quest fixes and for me the best :
"We are the Minutemen"
That gives lots of extras if you like the Minutemen.
All those mods and yet my Fallout 4 is stable like a Rock !

Have fun !

in my case, i'm just following instruction that called "The Midnight Ride" and re-organizing modding environment now, you should check it. that site is very helpful and seems that covered current "must have" mods

The more or less standard thing to have is uf4p. Next to that f4se is also quite common to have, since alot of mods use it. MCM and Looksmenu is also a thing which is used and HHS, if you plan to use any armor/clothing mods (such as those of vtaw)
I started myself with the unofficial patch and adding armor mods, to which i have looked then what they require. I've got them mostly from nexusmods. I have no single creation club stuff and as far as i understand it, then mods from creation club don't get along with that of nexus.

I last played in Dec. of 2022. I returned and it's just like I remembered it: all shelves are bare. I have no medicine or food. Eating snack cakes and Nuka Cola kills me dead immediately. I had to ditch my power armor w/o helmet because you cannot SLEEP if you wear it. What's the point? I have an alcohol and drug problem and my vision goes in and out and I hear my heartbeat loudly in my ear continuously.

It's early morning CST in the USA, and/so the update to PCs is not in here yet. I'm just wandering around with Cogsworth. He kills things without suffering himself. I don't like to hear Dogmeat being hurt by insects the size of refrigerators. Dogmeat is at Red Rocket. He saw me and "sadly whimperered," say the subtitles. Lonely, I guess. I have a Creation Club pitbull that I sent to Red Rocket in late 2022. He is totally M.I.A. Swell.

Thats hilarious and exactly how I wanted to feel about Fallout, sadly after installing the game told me all my savefiles are now 'legacy' and they may not work as several files (mods?) are missing now.

Yes, that too. Missing stuff and no explanation - just a warning and asking if I want to proceed with "Continue" old game.
