Throbby Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Okay, so maybe that's a little too ambitious. But my son and I are trying to figure out how--with the fewest mods possible--to get a more-realistic Commonwealth. I'm the sort of person who fired up Fallout 4 and went straight for survival mode, so I *really* want to see good, dark nights, some realistic weather (snow in winter!), and such. My son wants varied, customizeable weather... and a bazillion mods for Shooting All The Things.The goal is to get the best combo of weather, seasons, lighting, and sounds in the fewest mods, 'cause we're using the Xbox, and we hate having to go through and manually de-select and re-select our individually preferred mods every time we play.Right now, we both use the following mods: Smaller Sun; Sun Shadows in Real Time; Better Graphics and Weather. Honestly, I'm not sure what that last one does, 'cause I've never played the game without it, so I wonder if it's even worthwhile.Also downloaded are: True Storms; Seasons: Winter (Snow) and Darker Nights; Calamity Weathers; and Reverb and Ambience Overhaul. I'm not sure how to get the best effect out of those weather mods; I mainly want varied weather and dark-dark nights. Reverb and Ambience is one my son likes, but I think it sounds... off. Any better suggestions?And as an aside, what's a good skin-texture mod so that people don't look so glisteny during dialogue. It's not constant, really, but man, when it happens, it looks like my followers and I are oiled up for some naked wrestling or something.Phew! Lotta text, so thanks for reading it, and double-thanks for any suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rascal5368 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) So, from my understanding, Better Graphics and weather improves the textures of the graphics, making them look nicer & sadly in your case, probably brighter. The weather part changes the weather, I do not know what it does to change the weather as I forget. I do not have any mod suggestions but I will definitely look for some regarding to what you are looking for. Once you get all the mods you need, just fire up that bad boy, and remember the most important thing. Make sure you and your son have fun! I was once a kid too, like we all were so I feel for him, haha. P.S. if anyone thinks I was not adding anything to this, I was stating about one of their mods and that I will look for suggestions. :) Edited September 19, 2018 by rascal5368 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throbby Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Heh! Thanks. And yeah, I played around with the Better Graphics mod last night, and it looks like the biggest changes are the color of the water (the mod makes it more of a dingy greenish-blue) and, like you suggested, brightening the colors some. Disabling the mod seemed to make faces a little better, but I'm not 100% sure yet.And yeah, we have a lot of fun with it. Sometimes to the point where we sometimes have to be reminded that dinner-table conversation should be something that appeals to EVERYIONE at said table. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadpool0600 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 My man, you don't know what your messing with, the truest of realism and immersion is something not trifled with my most... Nah but like, Get ya self a good enb, it makes the world of difference. Definitely FROST (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/18898) maybe some greener grass mods and stuff that add's more tree's. And if you like horror then Pilgrim is beautiful art forged by the god's of pain and despair ( https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/23845) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
