Fallout 4 Mods

That sounds like some bad MMO.

Fr4nsson's Light Tweaks + No More Washed Out Wasteland Reshade = Fallout 4 no longer looks like washed-out, hazy slop.

Much better to just use ReShade and/or ENB. Really makes the graphics look like a whole new game. Not sure why people resort to mods for enhancing visual graphics.

Because Bethesda puts light sources all over the damn place and makes spelunking a walk on the beach under the noonday sun. And you can't tone that down with only Reshade.

Certainly in Skyrim, I'd want to fix the light sources and use an ENB.

The result is too dark of a game for me. Sorry. Reflected / ambient light is just not strong enough.

Certainly use a mod for image space changes and some light sources fixes. I was talking more about graphical effects. But also its clear some folks don't realize what can be done with a good ENB preset. Course it will be a while before FO4 ENB is in good shape.

Nudity mods:

As far as graphics go, I just porn my game up with nude females, skimpy armor and/or clothing. I don't mess with lighting or FOV, though I generally load up anything that increases weather effects. I'll probably get into the settlement mods once I finish the main quest.

One fun thing for the porn enthusiasts is the variety of body suits in Fallout 4. You have road leathers, raider leathers, vault suits, etc. Each of these images can be swapped with the meshes from the various body mods so that you have a great variety in nude models. I assume that the male models will eventually catch up too, so the gals and gays will have their day too.

In Fallout 3, you'd have one set of chest/privates for every female or perhaps two if you changed raider females. If Fallout 4, you can have dozens and somebody will package this idea up one of these days so that it is a single install.

Absolutely vital mod: Fallout Loot Overhaul

The game is completely different when you're not overflowing in piles of chems and other assorted loot.

That mod is irrelevant and if I see it right it's an attempt to render luck based perks useless (caps/ammo finding in containers).
If a player doesn't want luck based perks, there's no need for mod, just don't pick perks.

You're mistaken, Joxer; the scrounger and fortune finder perks remain perfectly functional. What that mod tackles is toning down the ridiculous quantities of loot [in containers] as soon as you step out of the Vault. I got sick of discovering piles of chems in every first aid box and 20+ rounds of ammo in every ammo box I came across; completely eliminates any struggle for survival in a supposed 'Wasteland'.

It also does some other things such as removing the ability to pick crops (which I always find dumb in Bethesda games - picking someone's crops and selling them back).

I keep hoping to find a mod that will do away with companions "liking" every time I pick a lock. It'd be cool if it took Piper more than two dungeons to fall in love with me. Curie takes the longest to romance because she doesn't care about lock-picking, but I find her a very dull companion. It'll probably be a couple years before we get a true companion from a modder. The Vilja's and Hoths take a long time to write.

Nice list of mods here.
