SPECIAL - Let's mod Fallout 4 - WEEK VII

New ways to dress yourself, more stuff to read and a whole lotta love from the new textures! That’s what we have planned for this week’s Let’s mod Fallout 4

Armor Keywords Community Resource (AKCR): This mod is something required for the next mod.

Installation: Download and install with Nexus Mod Manager. Ignore it for the rest (unless you need to update it)

Armorsmith Extended: This mod does a lot of things.

Every outfit in the game can now be worn under armour pieces.
Every hat and helmet in the game that doesn’t cover your face can be worn with bandana’s & gas masks.
Every outfit and every hat & helmet in the game can have ballistic weave armour added to it.
A completely redone clothing modding system. There are now 5 different types of mods: Lining mods, outfit add-on mods, headgear add-on mods, Glove mods, and eyewear mods. The categories of what mods are available for a specific item correspond with which of these 5 categories are present on that item.
New outfits, headgear, gloves, and custom Dogmeat armors to be crafted from the new custom Armorsmith Workbench.
All clothing items are moddable now and are also rename-able.
A new craftable set of armor called Therm Optics Combat Armor for the master armorsmith/scientists. (check the nexus page for more information)
This mod is now fully compatible with Legendary Modification and Valdacil’s Item Sorting. Choose the sort clothes by class option to have your apparel sorted in a way that compliments the changes made to clothing by Armorsmith Extended. I highly recommend this mod. Also to make the inventory sorting experience even better I also recommend DEF_INV – Improved inventory beta by Neanka. It makes a bunch of UI improvements and does cool stuff like replacing sorting tags with icons. From here on out Armor Keywords Community Resource (AKCR) by Valdacil and Gambit77 is a required file for AE, as the ArmorKeywords.esm contains the framework to make AE compatible with VIS without compatibility patches.

Installation: Download and install with Nexus Mod Manager

Better Armor Mod Descriptions: You also prefer to see ‘+10% VATS Accuracy’ instead of ‘Increases VATS hit chance’? Then get this mod.

Installation: Download and install with Nexus Mod Manager

Better Weapon Mod Descriptions: Completely the same as above, but now for weapons!

Installation: Download and install with Nexus Mod Manager

Craftable Armor Size: This mod enables Light, Sturdy and Heavy armour mods in the armour workbench. And it is fully compatible with the other mods mentioned in this guide!

Installation: Download and install with Nexus Mod Manager

High Resolution Texture Pack – Valius: A mod that retextures a lot of office related furnitures. It comes with 2 versions: a full 2K version, and a 4K version that still has some 2k textures. This mod is a work in progress and I am sure that with due time everything will have its 4K variant.

Installation: Download and install with Nexus Mod Manager

Heinz Beanz Texture (Pork and Beans): A simple retexture mod that adds the Heinz Beans look to the Pork&Beans cans in Fallout 4

Installation: Download and install with Nexus Mod Manager

FAR – Faraway Area Reform (LOD): This mod adds a huge improvement over the LOD textures, and according to the description, it also adds an improvement in performance. But a screenshot is better than some words, so be sure to check out the picture below.

Installation: Download both files and install them with Nexus Mod Manager

Bottles Labels Overhaul: This funny mod adds HD and super detailed textures for the labels of bottles.

Installation: Download the version you want (be sure that you can run it) and install it with Nexus Mod Manager. Pick the options you prefer and get drunk ingame!

Improved Map with Visible Roads: A visual improvement for the map in Fallout. This new map shows a lot more details such as roads, train tracks, topography and corrected placed map markers

Installation: Download and install with Nexus Mod Manager

Better Quarry Sites: Bethesda has made some decisions to get the game working on as many computer configurations as possible. That’s why there are a lot of blurry textures, and that’s why I’m adding this mod to our list. The author uses a bunch of trick methods known by most editors and a collection of custom filters that do wonders on the textures, greatly improving their visuals.
