It’s like trying to induce a phobia on yourself for entertainment purposes. There isn’t anything quite like combat music kicking in and realizing that you’re up against hermit crabs living inside ghoul heads. That’s what I felt when I first saw Absolutely Cursed, a mod that adds an interesting new creature to the Wasteland – the Dead Head. Some mods, you look at and instantly know you’re going to install them. Whether you’re just getting into the game and want an augmented experience from the get-go, or a returning player hoping to experience what mods have to offer in the way of creatures, you’re sure to find something you like here. Given it’s been over 200 years since humanity nearly wiped itself out, biodiversity should be through the roof rather than stunted as it looks like in Fallout 4, and since Bethesda didn’t check their science before making the game, it’s up to modders to populate the Commonwealth with new and exciting creatures. We'll be sure to update this slide with a download link of the official tool once Bethesda releases it.Despite its technical and narrative achievements, Fallout 4 lags behind its predecessors in one regard – enemies get repetitive pretty fast, and encounters tend to rely heavily on numbers to keep fights interesting.Īfter you’ve been prowling the Wasteland long enough, killing enemies starts to become a chore, and little by little you start realizing that you can’t keep playing the same game for years and expect it to surprise you… without mods, that is. However, you can download this easy-to-use unofficial Fallout 4 Mod Manager for now. Unfortunately, Bethesda has not released their own official mod tool yet. To activate mods, you need a mod manager tool. Erase this and replace it with "sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, TEXTURES\, MUSIC\, SOUND\, INTERFACE\, MESHES\, PROGRAMS\, MATERIALS\, LODSETTINGS\, VIS\, MISC\, SCRIPTS\, SHADERSFX\". Note this is really just a visual change even Dogmeat's panting audio remains. Find the section and find the line below it marked "SResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\". Using the mod replaces Dogmeat - Fallout 4's German Shepherd companion - with a grey cat.
