Fallout 4 – The Best Mods You Must Try


A lot of mods have been developed by the Fallout 4’s animated community since the release of the game couple of weeks ago for PC. It’s building up  quite a posse of interesting ones as the modding community gets to spend more quality time with the game.

Activating the super awesome modding powers for your version of Fallout 4 isn’t that hard either. Follow the quick guide below to get you upto speed with it.

You can activate the mods in your PC by following these three simple steps.

  • Step 1: Go to your documents folder, click your My Games folder, and then open the Fallout 4 folder. Here you can find three different .ini files.
  • Step 2: Open the “Fallout4Prefs.ini” file using Notepad. Scroll down until you find a section marked [Launcher]. Enter a paragraph break from the top and type the line “bEnableFileSelection=1”. If you have this line already in your .ini file but it’s set to zero, make sure to set it to 1. Save and close the file.
  • Step 3: Open Fallout4.ini with Notepad. Find the [Archive] section and find the line below it marked “SResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\”. Erase this and replace it with “sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, TEXTURES\, MUSIC\, SOUND\, INTERFACE\, MESHES\, PROGRAMS\, MATERIALS\, LODSETTINGS\, VIS\, MISC\, SCRIPTS\, SHADERSFX\”. Save and close the file.

You also require a mod manager tool to activate the mods. You can download the tool from here. This is an unofficial tool as Bethesda hasn’t released their own mod manager tool, but it works and is easy to use.
