The Top 10 BEST Fallout 4 Mods of 2021

As much as I agree that the HD mods look great, I think these mod showcase videos should be focused on mods that actually alter the game with new elements instead of a glorified texture pack

[@phantomasque1102]

@@Big_Footless Absolutely keep at it, patience is key. I personally prefer breeding for shinies because SW/SH shiny hunting methods kinda suck.

[@ihater3tards]

Glorified texture pack ? Dude do you have any idea how much work those mods need ? Texture packs like Luxor's ADD TO THE GAME IMMERSION which makes mods like this well deserving of a spot in "top Mods". Were not talking a retexture of some trees and rocks..This guy has basically transformed the whole game into something almost realistic...

[@Intrepid17011]

I would love to see some sort of " Lore Friendly " or " Vanilla Alike " Mod Collection. I feel like most Mods nowadays look way to polished for Fallouts Setting, like shiny Custom ARs, perfect looking M107s and Armor or general Clothes that look totally pristine. But i would love to have something, a complete overhaul that actual fits the game and those Mods are honestly hard to find in my opinion. Do you think you could do something like that in the future ? Edit : Stuff like the shotgun you used around @3:28 or that Bolt Action before look like something i could imagine in Fallout 4.

[@TheSleepiestPlurals]

I kind of agree. I'm kind of miffed that every major weapon mod just brings in perfect replicas of real life guns. It's the fallout universe, it's alternate history, the guns should all look different people

[@davidknowles2491]

If you're interested you can get a Mossberg 500 pump action shotgun that looks all beat up? There's also a Winchester 1897 with a similar worn out look.

[@nemesis002]

@@TheSleepiestPlurals The thing is the Fallout Universe is different from our when it was 1950 so there could be Tommy guns and other older weapons from WW1 and WW2 so in some way there are lore friendly.

[@Johngottisentme]

I’ve modded fallout4 and beat it over way over 30 times. Imho the best play through the been -Weather mods, - a few guns you really like (more guns imho breaks the fun) -junk overhauls, random junk generators. -Gun for hire u mod is crazy good. -immersive fast travel -vanilla clothing expansion -blood, gore, dismemberment, bullet casings, bulletholes in the environment, gun smoke and FX. -reload animations -and a landscape mod you really like.

[@Deo12345Redhead]

What is the gun for hire mod?

[@Fuckingboredrn]

I like to try and make each fallout play through look noticeably different with environment and foliage mods, almost feels like a new game each time

[@TheLazyFinn]

Hey, kinda out of place but since you seem to have a lot of experience with SS2 could you give some advice on how to get enough caps to get caravans working smoothly?( didn't find any help on forums) I have Starlight as my main settlement and it generates enough revenue to have working caravan, but I have Abernathy and Sanctuary as small settlements with a few shops as well, but they can´t seem to get enough tax money without me donating it to them.

Is it okay to install it even it's my first walkthrough of the game with DLCs?

[@90snetworkproductions79]

Even though the raid on the Gunner HQ in Sim Settlments chapter 2 didn't completely work for me when it came out, that sequence was better than almost every other vanilla moment in the entire game.

[@OscarN1N7]

It just happened that I didn't get to that section until after a few of the patches had come out, so I was lucky enough to have it run smoothly the first time. And, yeah, I totally agree - one of the best moments I've ever had in FO4.

[@luxor-uc2xs]

many many thanks for featuring my Fallout 4 HD Overhaul. i really appreciate that.

[@kumi_ch2974]

Every time I think of uninstalling Fallout 4, Juice just keeps coming on with these mod highlights

[@ashertony1]

Sim Settlements 2 absolutely deserves the top spot. I just finished the main story of Chapter 2 and I still can't believe how well it fits into the vanilla experience. You could play it without any other mods installed and still have a top-tier playthrough. I can also vouch for FallUI and HD Overhaul. Staples of my game at this point.

Just downloaded SS2 a couple days ago. Not only are the new settlement mechanics astounding, but the writing for the story is SOOO good so far. It's almost like someone from the FNV team decided to write for a mod to Fallout 4.

[@kritizismmusics9737]

The turn all npcs to gabe newl one was very legendary.

SS2 Chapter 2 did release with a few technical issues but they have been quickly dealt with in the weeks since it released, which is such a testament to the dev team. Totally agree with it being the best mod of 2021.

[@alumpycow6694]

Reactor ENB is by far my favorite ENB and makes Fallout 4 look really nice with all my other graphic mods.

[@edwhatshisname3562]

By the way the big boy gun in his thumbnail can be found on Discord, it is the EFT NSV. It is a high quality port from another game and I think uses the 50 caliber machine gun animations from Failout 76, not sure where the sound effects come from but they certainly complete the package.

[@Therake2602]

there is a mod which let you combine defense of your power armour with your defense of your character and have effects of your legendary armour and power armour effects activated at same time ? because dont have sense that when you have a high defense and when you wear power armour this defense is reduced or replaced by power armour and when your power armor is destroyed you have a defense like if you didnt have any clothes or nothing when you have all your clothes with power frame but you have less defense than when you werent using power frame or power armor in general.

[@a1racer441]

Ss2 team and f4se team recently fixed a few larger bugs the long saves and the hq reset, so the mod runs a lot smoother now.

[@DoesntMatter2255]

I just got into modding on fallout 4 and i never saw these mods or considered adding these mods till now thank you

[@drinkinbuddy8264]

Excellent vid as always juice. Thanks for making vids like this. I’m enjoying these mods already. Been back to Fallout the past few weeks. If any mod author is reading: I don’t have words to thank you enough. This is a great community

[@rabidrednek]

Couple things about the Fo4 HD Overhaul. It is very good stuff, but you had better have a paid subscription to the nexus AND a beefy internet connection or you will be downloading all it's bits for a long time. I have no real complaints about the textures, they are universally good but I have a nitpick. For whatever reason Sugar Bombs got retextured into Sugar Crisps with a different box and I had to find another food retexture to get it back to how it should look. Other than that, getting everything downloaded and installed was well worth the effort and it's a great base to add texture tweaks to minor stuff.

[@cockman8437]

I just put all the mods on a download queue overnight and my pc turns off automatically if nothing is happening for 15 minutes so its not terrible

[@ozoak]

48GB. That's the HD Overhaul when I add up all the parts. There's a reason that despite its, I presume (I'll never know), good quality it's not racking up high super high download numbers - that's just too much data, by almost any metric (nexus speed, end user internet speed, drive space, time).

[@CL-rm6sb]

It's glorified upscaled textures. There's better hand made stuff out there on the nexus.

[@thegaminggranny6752]

This is wonderful, thanks, I personally don't bother too much with background upgrades because they are too big and added weapons, but some of what you touched on got me to click on the links to dload them - so even this old gal can get some added spice into my game - thanks

[@Cronoo]

No doubt chapter 3 will take the top spot in this year's list also. Kg and his team have been killin it.

11:11 Scavver faction RedRocket workshops by SKK and Tales from the Commonwealth by Kris Takahashi also help with that problem.

[@edwhatshisname3562]

I kind of wish Combined Arms had been modular or had a modular option. Some of the weapons in that mod are added by other mods which focus on a specific weapon and allow for more customization per weapon than Combined Arms alone is willing to offer for those weapons in particular.

[@T3AMKILL]

How is FO4 overhauls vs something like vivid textures all in one?

[@corrupt1user]

SimSet and SimSet2 are the only reasons I still play FO4. The original game had a great idea with base-building, but after the 5th settlement you just give up and slap together a bunch of beds under a roof and call it a night. SS2 actually gives you base-building with a reason to build settlements. Do you specialize your settlements or make them all sem-independent? How in depth do you want base-building to be? Can you unlock everything?

[@robertholcroft1086]

Do you think you will do a video on your personal mod load order in the future? I enjoy your top 10s and best of videos, but am looking for something more complete than things to add to an existing list

Cause i got the crazy game, and it's smooth like butter. Ayo, it's like butter? It's like butter baby!!

[@Trilasent]

Only thing stopping me from downloading the HD Overhaul from Luxor is the huge file size, and how many separate files there are. I understand that HD textures means bigger file sizes, but I'd still rather not take up over 36GB of my harddrive just for nicer textures for a single game (Checking the size of my FO4 game folder, it's actually roughly the same size as all the "base" files added together.).

[@fluffmun4989]

[@kennyparkes550]

For the most immersive "Lore Friendly" weapons mod/overhaul try out Weapons Overhaul Redux. It doesn't add any new weapons but re-invents the entire crafting system for every weapon (aside from melee). Pipe weapons can be pretty decent late game to super unique upgrades that changes how the gun functions while still feeling vanilla, also adds many new ammo types along with converting most guns to use different ammo types all with pros and cons. Nothing feels OP and yet one weapon can feel really strong when built 3 different ways, pretty nice.

Then whenever I install an amount of mods where the game is even somewhat playable, it feels like vanilla game but with living foliage and cheats along with a few bug patches and improvements to NPC behavior. And even then, the game won’t fucking work. But whenever I have mods where the game is fun, the game doesn’t want to work. This is why now I literally play Fallout 76 more than 4 and that’s just sad.
