FALLOUT 4 MODS
This list currently includes console mods! For this list, I provide my list in load order, meaning that things should (hopefully) work as intended. You can install the mods in any order (on console), but will have to manually rearrange them to make them work properly and with as little conflict as possible.
(CONSOLE)
This is my personal load order for Fallout 4 on the Xbox One! Provided is the mod title, as well as a brief summary of what the mod is/does, written by yours truly.
Mods (Show/Hide)
| Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch [UFO4P] | A master mod for bug fixing and increased mod support. This mod is practically the baseline for your modding experience, as many (if not all) will require it. |
|---|---|
| NAT - Natural & Atmospheric Commonwealth | A weather, lighting, and visual overhaul with a load of customizeable presets, as well as tools to create your own. |
| AWKCR - No DLC Version + Patches | The All DLC version of this mod seems to be glitched with the new update, so the best course of action is to install the No DLC version and then download the DLC patches; This mod is a master file mod that allows other modders to create and modify armor, adjust the appropriate crafting menu categories, and modify the workbenches for armor, weapons, and clothing. |
| Workshop Framework | A master file mod that allows other modders to open up the settlement/workshop system, as well as stabilize the workshop as a whole for players who enjoy settlement building. |
| AWKCR - DLC Patches | The All DLC version of this mod seems to be glitched with the new update, so the best course of action is to install the No DLC version and then download the DLC patches; The order I've placed these in in my load order is... Far Harbor Patch, Nuka World Patch, Automatron Patch, Contraptions Patch, Vault-Tec Patch. |
| NAT - Natural & Atmospheric Commonwealth Far Harbor Patch | A weather, lighting, and visual overhaul with a load of customizeable presets, as well as tools to create your own. |

| Armorsmith Extended Full Version | Expands on the existing clothing/armor system, allowing for the layering of different pieces (e.g., hats and bandanas), modification of standard clothing, completely revamps the modificaiton system as a whole, and much, much more. |

| Presets that May Be Handsome | Replaces several male character presets (notably, presets 12-15) with customized alternate presets that don't take away from that rugged wasteland charm. |

| [XB1]Realistic Ragdoll Force | Reduces the physics on ragdoll animations, making for a more realistic approach where enemies will slump down where they stand, opposed to flying 50 feet back from a single handgun round. |
| Realistic Death Physics - No Animations | Similarly to above, adjusts the physics to reduce that cartoon-ish impact that often happens during death animations. |
| Take A Knee - 3rd Person Stealth Based Animations | Adjusts the 3rd Person stealth idles and animations for pistols and assault rifles, taking a more modern approach to the style. |
| Everyone's Best Friend (Dogmeat + Companion At Same Time) | Adjusts the companion code so that you can have other named companions and Dogmeat following at the same time, more closely mimicking the older rule of "one human; one non-human" (that said, Dogmeat and Strong will get along as well in this mod, so no worries there). |
