Wanting to MOD, what is the must have mods to have in this game to get a foundation 1st?

I know Unofficial Patches are must haves. What more?

[M͕͕͗͗i͕͕͗͗y͕͕͗͗o]

Full Dialog Interface, True Stroms + Darker Nights, Dialogue Camera Sensitivity, Longer Power Lines, MCM

I have a list of mods on my profile, it's definitely not as in-depth as the guide above me though

Tales of the Commonwealth

[Iron Knights]

I like Clean Settlements, cleans the settlement areas nicely (lowers or heightens terrain in some parts), but overall you get more room to build. Allows to scrap the entire pre-war houses and shacks, as well as corpses. Extended Manufacturing allows building armor, including vault armor. And weapon mods of my choosing .38 Microgun is an improvement and can be modded, to be better than the existing minigun. I like the Service Rifle, aka M-16 mod too. Just a warning, mods bring CTDs and you have to abide by load orders.

Nice guide, did it all.

Does any of those mods improve the Boston FPS? Or should I download the Boston Fix mod?

[Pure Mind Games]

I personally wouldn't download any fix mods unless I actually need them.

[Shadowrun]

i use the previsibines repair pack to fix downtown boston. it's linked in there under the optional mods. it's better than the boston mod because it repairs the whole world but it's a 4 GB mod :D

My philosophy is pick your cheats and stick with them.
Cheat Terminal 1.67 You use this to fix thing that are broken. Don't go hog wild with cheating because what's the point if you do?
Contraptions Workshop Free Production This is the most powerful cheat known to man. Instead of scrounging the commonwealth looking for everything, you look for the important stuff like coffee cups. Ammo? bah! Caps? bah! Fusion cores? Bah!!!
Infinite Fusion Cores either this or Contraptions Workshop Free production. Why this mod? Because I find it hard to believe that a fusion core that lasts 200+ years powering a fusion reactor at 100 power, or can run a sentry bot for two centuries with no loss of energy, will drain in a few hours in power armor.
Craftable Glowing Fungus Seriously, I got fungus up the wazzo. i got fungus between my toes. Fungus in my lawn. It's a weed, and you can't grow it?
Drop Quest Items because I'm tired of losing stuff in my misc sort. I make a chest, put "Quest" on it, and using this mod put quest items I'm not going to do right away in there, like the Silver Shroud costume. (do that quest once, then never speak of it again!) Not only do you lose things in the long list, some of these things have weight!
Easy Hacking & Easy Lockpicking I've never had a problem hacking (at worst, 10 second time out for 2nd try) and I've never run out of bobby-pins, so hacking and lock picking are nothing but time wasting. If you're at the level, you're in.
Faster Harder Alien Blaster Because aliens who come halfway across the galaxy to mess with humans are going to be armed with something as good as a gamma gun. Besides, you only get 600 rounds... Keep in mind that if the alien shoots you with the damned thing it stings like heck.
Faster Terminal Displays because some of us are glad that the days of the 300 baud dumb terminal are gone, and were please to see the 2400 baud dumb terminal. Again, the slow terminal is another Bethesda Time Waster (BTW)
I just want to build a robot Because there are robots all over the commonwealth, and Sole Survivor even owned one. Why do you need Ada to tell you how to build a robot workbench? And it's not as if Protectrons were easy to make, given all the junk you need to make one.
Lasers have no recoil Well, they do, but you can't feel it.
Magazine issue numbers You need this. Not sure why, but I can't live without it.
More Durable power armor Does it make sense to you that a 200 year old walking Slim-Jim (aka ghoul) can trash your X-01 power armor legs, which looks like 1 cm thick cast iron, by throwing himself at it? How does that even work?! So, this mod.
Move that workbench because the settlement workbench gets in the way of what I want to build.
Nodas Equipment recycler because the minigame where you drop and scrap things is boring as boring gets. Unless you want to spend a lot of perk points on charisma and that community leader perk, it's' the easiest way to find and transport junk from established settlements to new settlements you're building.
Skip Far Harbor Memory Puzzle a bat file for the console command. If you have to ask why, see a mental health professional.
SKKFastStartNewGame Cuz starting a new game is boring when you've done it over 2 dozen times.
Unoffical Fallout 4 patch Not sure what it does, but everyone else has this mod and I'm too timid to do anything different.
Wall pass through power conduits You don't need this if you master the art of passing wires though holes in walls and windows.

[blairweescot]

I'd say Darker nights, no question
Infinite fusion cores. It's idiotic the way they are implemented in vanilla
Pick a weapon mod that looks good to you and try it
A mod that reduces the health of insects
An NPC accuracy fix mod

[Wi2n]

Get Out Of My Face (Push Away Companions and NPCs) is definitely my favorite. Just push anyone (including those annoying heavy breathing brahmins that keep getting stuck everywhere) that's blocking your way and the best thing is, they wont get mad at you/turn hostile for pushing them.

[Iron Knights]

I fixed the FPS slow down without mods or .ini changes. But every time I post it, everyone ignores me, so why bother ?

You literally don't need that AT ALL since you can easily glitch it. There is a video series call "NO MODS SHOP CLASS" that tells you how, he's on the PS3 which of course does not allow mods.

As for what Id recommend, I think Caliente's Better Body Enhancement or a similar mod is must have, especially if you play a female character. A lot of people say it's the "Nude Mod" and it can be, but there is an underwear option too. There are other similar mods, like Atomic Beauty and such, but I myself prefer CBBE.

Then Looks Menu and Looks Menu Compendium, both of which together enhance and add to your character creation options with new skin colors, new tattoos, hundreds of new hairstyles (many don't work well with hats though.)

Interesting that there is a glitch that you can use instead of passing wires through holes in the wall.
Not interesting enough to spending 22 minutes of my life when I could be pirating innocent raiders in the game; busting in their homes, stealing their stuff, and murdering them.
Especially since that's why Howard made holes in the wall.
