F04 Mods Recomendations

[Dumbbus]

Forgive me for having Bought the FO4 GOTY a bit late, so I am like a newbie who doesn't know about what mods are available or ones that maybe I should be playing but I have played a good bit the base Game, and DLC, already so am ready to pimp out my Modded Save.

 

There are over 22,877 mods so thought I would try to get some Recommendations.

 

I am not looking for HiRes or HUD Mods, I want ones that add something like Better Control of Settlers, Settlements, add Extra "Buildable stuff" to your Workshop, etc.

 

Also if anyone has a Mod that increases the Workshop Time Out Period when you get outside the Workshop area the Default is 5 seconds to anything thing longer than that like say 10 15 or 30 seconds that would be great, I just want to be able to possibly build stuff right on the other side of the Bridge leading out of Sanctuary that goes to the Red Rocket Station..

 

Basically any mod that adds new quest, and elements to the game like say One Handed Guns.. Please..

 

One I did find that I liked and already have installed is https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/27262

I like Anime Mods.. I always play as a Female Char, so If you have anything like that one I would give it a try..

 

What F04 Mods do you guys Recommend or Play the most?

You can disable workshop timeout with Place Everywhere, which is an essential mod anyways if you plan on building up your settlements, even without that feature

That is awesome once I figured out how to build stuff and just move it, that is really cool.. Thank You..

 

I had considered using the Console Cheat to make a new Workshop but was afraid it might interfere with Sanctuary and the Red Rocket Workshops, and like overlap them or something but I really only wanted to build stuff on the other side the Bridge.

 

Place Everywhere also ends my troubles of not being able to get that one piece of a building where it should go. :thumbsup:

 

Edit: I found this Mod that adds some Build-able stuff, Thematic and Practical

Lots of great stuff in Homemaker.

Good building parts in Snappy Housekits and The Master Plan.

Old World Plaids has some good furniture in it.

Settlement Objects Expansion Pack has an assortment of good stuff.

Wall Pass-Through Power Conduits is very useful.

If you want signs or posters, my own Gruffydd's Signs and Posters adds a few hundred new ones.

Do It Yourshelf is great for shelving, especially for shops.

Modular Kitchen is great for kitchen creation (everything snaps).

OC Decorator is great if your settlers tend to knock over your carefully placed stuff.

I would add a couple others also, especially if you want to work with building things:

 

Sanctuary Hills Rebuild (Those robots spent the last 200 years cleaning it up. There are some interesting items to look for there when you start your game. Look in all the containers.)

 

Scrap Everything Ultimate. Truly a gift of the gods when clearing areas, but pay attention to what you select!

 

Crafting Workbenches and Compact Crafting Workbenches

 

Manufacturing Extended

 

Stackable Concrete Foundations

 

Snappable Junk Fences

 

Scrap Dead Things is handy also

All Those are so Awesome, Thank You!!!

 

"Looks like I'll be occupied for awhile now" I just didn't know what to search for before. I did have trouble with passing wires through walls too, though I had found away around it by attaching the wire then building the wall back over it but then I couldn't attach a wire inside my Building. Also I wanted to build a settlement at Sunshine Tidings but kept moving the dead Ghouls around just to have them appear in the same spot later, I guess I could have disabled them with the Console but scrapping them would be better you always need resources.

Clean and Simple Settlement Startup - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/25350

 

After that, use whatever settlement mods you like best.

[Moksha8088]

BTW, I should add that the best mods fall into the category Quests and Adventures.

 

Outcasts and Remnants

Tales from the Commonwealth

Fusion City Rising

Xander's Aid

50 Ways to Die at Dr. Nicks

The Code

America Rising

 

Don't forget Fallout 4's best companion Heather Casdin. Heather pairs well with the companions from Tales from the Commonwealth.

 

If you want better than vanilla settlers for your creations, try Settlers of the Commonwealth available at 3DNPC.com

In addition to all the great mods Gruffydd mentioned, most of which I have used or still use in my Xbox game, one of my other favorites and a staple in all of my games is G2M - Workshop: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/17088/

A new favorite of mine which was just recently ported to Xbox is Settlement Markers: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/20651 This mod adds a lot of new idle animations and activities for your settlers.

Well, if you wanna take your building to the streets, try out Conquest. It lets you build entirely new, functional settlements anywhere you want. It's limitation is building too close to any big towns or existing settlements. Like Diamond City or Bunker Hill. You can have settlers, and assign supply lines.

 

However, if you truly want to be able to build absolutely everywhere, even inside of cities, or even inside of actual settlements (for whatever reason), try Portable Workshop. Just throw a grenade, and you get a rather large build area wherever you want. It's not a settlement, you can't have settlers there or a supply line. I fancy making the opening area of Goodneighbor my personal home.

 

Needless to say, both mods work just fine with Place Everywhere, and any other building related mod.
