any good mod collection pack?

[Magik]

I'm coming back to play the game after years and I tried to download a mod collection pack but it didn't work apparently due to the game's version, are there any recent mod collections that are recommended?

A lot of folks recommend looking at those collection packs and then downloading mods that are to your liking one by one.

None.

Collections for Fallout 4 are an invitation to frustration.

Download wabbajack and look there

if you want trouble, pain and lost lifetime go for wabbajack and collections.

But i am aware people will ignore this whatever others say.

^^ While the concept of many collections might seem really neat, never trust that everything IN that collection:

-- works with the version of the game you're using
-- works with the other mods you're already using
-- works - at - all

Take collection lists and manually go through each and every mod that they include BEFORE downloading even one single part of them. You'll HAVE to do that anyway, when the mod collection breaks your game and you're left wondering which one is it that did that...

Install the bare minimum of any mods that overlap, any mods that have the same effect such as weather, textures, models, npcs, locations, whatever. Choose ONE that does the most of what you want it to. Make extra sure that any further mods you pile on top of them DO WORK, by reading comments and bug reports. Always check the NEXUS REQUIREMENTS tab for both things that those mods need to run at all, AND for potential patches when someone else has discovered a conflict that can be fixed using a patch.

You are the only person who knows exactly what you want in your game, and how much buggy behavior you are willing to tolerate to get it there.

thanks for the replies, guess I'll skip collections on fallout, I used it previously on skyrim and it worked but didn't expect it to be this bad on fallout

If you have played the vanilla game and not Sim Settlements 2 I'd go with that. Plus some flora, outfit, follower, texture mods. But I wouldn't blindly download a collection. And a lot of the good stuff isn't on nexus but on modders discords and websites.

The "collection" of mods that I have downloaded for myself works great and would recommend 10/10.

I tried a Skyrim Wabbajack which had nearly 1700 mods all curated by someone into a wabbajack thing. Normally I never like using them, but for once I decided to try.

Well at first it's nice cos it saves a week of slowly picking and installing mods. It is impressive. Some of those Mods really wowed me. But...

1. You often get Mods you don't like. I'm quite fussy about what's in my gaming world and some of the Mods just killed the immersion for me. It feels forced on you.

2. Issues later on. As you get deeper into the game bugs and issues can start popping up, and even later crashes, and you don't have a clue what's causing it. You're deep into the game and now it's becoming unplayable. Then you get told later you have to do a zillion things to keep it going, like going down a rabbit hole.

It was the bugs and crashes that started popping up later on that did it for me. A giant waste of time. But maybe I was just unlucky.

I went back to my original process: Find the Mods I KNOW I like, read the README, install and just do that for a week (or a couple of days) until I have everything I like and know. That way I know what to fix if anything goes wrong and it's far easier to check about 80 Mods that you installed than 1700 mods you have no clue what they're doing. It's just too many Mods all crushed togther.

The old adage is still true, "You want something done right you gotta do it yourself."

`Convenience` isn't everything if you want a long term stable game to the end.
