Extreme modding


Stronglav

Recommended Posts

My PC is weak so all I can install is 30 or so plugins without my game crashing.

But some people have a lot of mods (100+) and playing without anyu problems.

So my question is:which PC spec I need to have a lot of mods?

Not too much actually, and it's probably not the raw number of plugins that pushes your system over the edgge.

 

People are able to play FO4 with a middle-class Desktop (Laptop CPUs are drastically less powerful) i5 or comparable AMD Ryzen, 8G RAM and some middle-class GeForce chip from 2015 without a lot of trouble. Just need to be a bit conservative about graphical mods - gameplay mods don't usually cause performance problems. Of course, if you also want larger graphical overhauls you'll need more horsepower and it's always nice to have a little headroom as FO4 isn't going to be the only game you play. But if you can live with close to vanilla visuals middle-class hardware from around 2015 will do just fine. Make triple sure you're not using mods that break PreVis (google that), use Boston FPS Fix, set your shadow draw distance to something below medium and you should be alright.

 

If you want to go full eyecandy, aim for the most powerful single-threaded CPU you can get (Currently that's probably an i7 9900k). GPU is much less important for FO4 but having 4G or more VRAM is absolutely required for a lot of high definition textures. A GTX 1070 or one of the new Radeons (close to top end of price scale) will be fine. If you're playing at 1440p or higher, use a 1080 or the next higher priced Radeon card.
