I would be grateful for a list of essential FO4 mods for a new playthrough.

I never finished FO4 (mainly due to me losing critical saves) but I am looking to start a new playthrough. I have the mod manager setup but I don't want to get lost in the vast amount of mods available like I did with Skyrim. I

 

If you were to recommend your favorite mods into an "essentials" list, what would they be? I'm hoping to just install the best ones in one go which would save me so much time and I can focus on playing this great game. I want to ask here because the lists I find online aren't nearly as comprehensive.

This depends on your personal preferences, what are you looking for?

 

More weapons, but maybe lore unfriendly and some of them overpowered?

More clothes, maybe some more "kinky" stuff?

Greener wasteland?

More building options, but also maybe not lore friendly?

 

There are some many ways of playing with a modded Fallout4, i think it is not possible to define a essential list.

 

I had over 100 mods installed, but only 5-6 out of the top 100 list

I'm more interested in the graphics overhauls then I suppose. I do like gameplay/stat overhauls but I don't want to change the original gameplay too much.

There is already an offical High-res patch available.

 

Maybe True Storms is interesting for you.

I also liked darker nights

But still i think you have to check the top files yourself to find a good set of mods for you
