Fallout 4 Visual Mods

Darker Nights: again not necessarily visual improvement by all definitions, but it certainly can improve the immersion: Bethesda games traditionally have very bright nights and Fallout 4 isn't an exception; it's obviously a subjective matter but I personally hate to see that much light during the night time; this mod lets you tweak the light levels to your heart's desire; it's by unforbidable which I don't really know but, again, the mod works like a charm and is officially compatible with. Fallout 4 Visual Glitch.Or whatever this is - posted in Fallout 4 Technical Support: This is what happens: It started happening a few days ago. In my opinion, it was either because of the automatron dlc or some mod. This glitch only happens during fights, and not allways, but several if not most times.

I've decided to assemble a list of Fallout 4's graphical enhancing mods for the community's benefit, aimed at those looking for the most visually pleasing Commonwealth experience. As such, no mods included in the graphics portion of this list will affect the vanilla gameplay. Though at the bottom of the page I’ve included numerous mods that can alter your gameplay experience.

The goal of this list is to provide a selection of non-overlapping mods that can be installed to increase the graphical fidelity of a vanilla play through. Thus the ENB preset I chose to include focuses mainly on graphical quality rather than performance, but it can be substituted with a number of presets available on the Nexus. I've used my personal discretion while selecting choices for similar/overlapping mods, so if I've left out a mod it means that a hopefully acceptable substitute has been chosen instead.

Fallout

As frequent player of all Fallout games, with over 1000+ hours in Fallout 3 alone, I can relate to the initial struggle and countless hours lost while attempting to install mods. Hopefully this list can benefit hardened Vault Dwellers and newcomers alike.
