THIS IS AN ALPHA MOD-This is also a texture mod so the body shape is unchanged and I don’t know how to change that. As I haven’t posted as much as I would like due to university I said fuck the assignment I have tomorrow and decided to spend the entire day creating a nude mod for Fallout 4.

Mods have arrived for Fallout 4 on consoles. Now anyone and everyone can enjoy all the weird, wonderful tweaks to the Commonwealth with the massive influx of compatible free add-ons available on Bethesda.net.

Powerful mod tools allow creators to go wild with the irradiated apocalypse, including everything from new locations to outfits and alterations to your companions. Want a new radio station?

How to Install Mods on Consoles Xbox One & PS4

NOTE: Mods are a planned feature on PS4 but are not yet released on that platform. According to Bethesda’s website, the process for installing mods on Xbox One and PS4 should be identical. If something changes when the PS4 mods are released, we’ll update this article with the information you need.

1. Download and install the latest patch on console. Reset the console and insert your Fallout 4 physical media or start the application while connected to the internet to begin downloading.
2. Register for an account on Bethesda.net here. If you don’t already have one, register right here.
3. Next, go to the Bethesda.net Mods tab here to begin browsing mods available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
4. In the upper-right above the mod thumbnails, you’ll find a drop-down menu where you can filter the mods based on console or PC compatibility. Select your preferred platform and begin browsing.
   1. On the Mods main menu option, you’ll be able to browse available mods as well.
   2. There is a 2 GB limit to the amount of mods you can have active on console.
   3. In the Mods main menu option, you can also change the mod load order or deactivate current mods, allowing you to swap mods in and out from your library and easily manage the 2 GB mod limit.
5. While browsing mods, select “Add to Library” to save the mod, adding it to your linked account on console.
6. Load your console copy of Fallout 4 and open the Mods main menu option to find the full list of mods added to your library.
   1. Remember, you can enable/disable mods from the Mods main menu option or reorder them. Always load the most important mods first by placing them in the first few slots of the load order list.
7. With the mods you’ve selected enabled, simply load your most current game and enjoy.

Changing the load order of mods and adding mods will always generate a new save file so that your previous un-modded save files are not corrupted, ruined, or crash. Mods are community-driven projects and have not been thoroughly tested, and many mods may conflict with each other. If you download lots of mods, expect to run into technical issues. It’s just inevitable!

Otherwise, enjoy all the new content available to you. The Commonwealth just got a little weirder.

This Tutorial aimed to be simple by leaving out all the information you don't need and to get an overview. If you use Windows Vista or Windows 7, you should read Point V) Installing Fallout first.
More information and further Links you'll find at the end of the article.

• 1I ) Mods Prerequisites - Tools that make life easier
• 2II ) Installing Mods
  • 2.2The Folder Structure
• 5V ) Installing Fallout
• 10X) Links

Must Haves

• a 'Data Compression Utility' like 7zip, WinRAR, IZArc or TUGZip -> to extract file archives
• Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) -> The official Mod Manager. Currently in beta stage and regarding tools not as powerful as FOMM, but more features will follow
• Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM) -> optional Fallout Launcher providing very useful Modding-Tool, like BSA browser, BSA creator and TESsnip
• Fallout Script Extender (FOSE) -> many Mods require its additional scripting commands to work

Recommended Additions

• FO3Edit -> detects Conflicts between Mods, a powerful tool for Mod editing
• Better Oblivion Sorting Software for Fallout3 (BOSS for FO3) -> sorts your load order automatically
• Fallout Mod Sorter (FOMS) -> another load order helper
• ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated -> does the whole 'ArchiveInvalidation'
• Games for Windows LIVE Disabler -> disables GfWL and moves your DLCs into your game folder
• Fallout Installation Cleaner (FOIC) -> cleans up your Fallout; removes Mods, 3rd party tools, .. etc

Mods come as package -> first you need to extract them to a temporary location by using a tool like 7zip. Examine the files / folders of the Mod you've unpacked to get a quick overview.

Example of an unzipped Mod under XP and Vista / Windows7
You'll find files with ending *.esp or *.esm and maybe additional folders like textures, meshes or sound.
After you unpacked a lot of Mods, you'll consider each result as quite unique, but generally the structure is almost the same.
Anyway, there are two common rules you should keep in mind:

1. All Mods have to be placed into the Data Directory of your Game.
2. The folder structure must be correct.

The Data Folder

-> The default path for DVD Versions is C: Program Files Bethesda Softworks Fallout 3 Data
You may have customised the install path to something else e.g. C: Games Fallout..
That's why in some READMEs you'll find the term '< install path > Fallout 3 Data '
-> The default path for Steam Versions is C: Program Files Steam steamapps Common Fallout 3 Data
To avoid issues under Vista and Win7, the install location of Steam can be customised, see point #V .29 Installing Fallout

The Folder Structure

Files that belong into the. This is the process to recognise certain new files which have been placed into the Data folder.
-> It's recommended to use the little tool ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated.
-> Unzip, run it, activate it
The whole Archive Invalidation will be done.

Finally check your G.E.C.K. Mods (*.esp) at your Fallout Launcher or use FOMM

--> finished, enjoy the game :-)))

Fallout 3 - How to install Mods
Fallout 3 - How to install FOSE

Mods are best installed by your own.
( Avoid extracting something directly into your Game / Data Dir )

1. There could be a ReadMe -> It‘s recommended to read it before you install a Mod
2. Make a save game that is 'clean'. -> You could need it later - just to be sure
3. If you install a Mod by your own, you‘ll know how to remove it
4. Only add one Mod by one. -> Test it. -> If you install a plenty of Mods, you‘ll probably have to spend a plenty of time to figure out, why your game is crashing.
5. Take care of Mod Conflicts and your Load Order. Tools like FO3Edit and the Fallout Mod Sorter (FOMS) help to increase your games stability.
6. If something went terribly wrong, you'll be lucky if you backed up your Data folder

Keep your System up to date.

Perform a Windows Update including DirectX.

How To Download Mods Fallout 4 Xbox One

Clean your Windows

(CCleaner recommended) and reboot.

How To Download Mods For Fallout 4 Vr

Install Fallout.

If you use Windows7 or Vista, it is highly recommended to install the game to another location than 'Program Files' ( for example C: GamesFallout 3 ) to avoid problems with the security feature UAC.
Alternatively you could disable UAC, but this may lead to a less secure system, so be warned. For Steam versions there is hardly a way to customise the install dir. So you may need to go for the 'disabling UAC' option - or install Steam to another location than 'Program Files'
e.g. C:GamesSteam ..

Install the latest official Patch

Install the latest official Patch which fits to your game version. Note, that Steam and GotY versions should already be up-to-date.
=> If you get the xlive.dll error at start, see solution here: Games for Windows Live fix.

Backup your 'clean' Data folder before installing Mods.

It saves time if something went wrong - especially if you installed Fallout via Steam.
( a reinstall wont work in every case properly.
Outlook search folder not refreshing water.

1. Backup save games and your ArchiveInvalidation.txt file if you use one
2. Uninstall Fallout3 in your System Control (Software / Programs) or use a helper like the Revo Uninstaller
3. There are two Folders left: the Game Dir (with your Mods) & your 'My Games' folder

   -> delete or simply rename the Folders to backup

   -> be careful with backed up data and avoid using old *.ini files

4. Clean Registry (CCleaner)
5. Reboot your System, to get all Registry changes applied
6. Go on with Point V) Installing Fallout

You can play Fallout in two different ways: off-line or on-line via GfWL.
As soon as you switch between these two modes, if you install F.O.S.E. (which disables GfWL) or if you simply move your DLC files into the Data folder, you'll consider your save games are 'gone'. This happens because Fallout uses two slightly different locations to store the game saves in.

• off-line: <Start Menu> Documents My Games Fallout3 Saves
• on-line: <Start Manu> Documents My Games Fallout3 Saves 'Your Live Name'

-> If you want to continue your game on-line or off-line, simply copy the save games into the respective location.

Sometimes you need to access hidden folders on your Hard Drive.
For example if you want to access the GfWL Folder where DLCs are stored in.

• XP: C: Documents and Settings 'User Account'Local SettingsApplication Data Microsoft Xlive

• Vista: C: Users 'User Account'AppData Local Microsoft XLive

These Folders are hidden by default so you may need to set them visible.
If you have to deal with several file extensions like *.exe, *.esp or *.bsa, you should disable Hidden file extensions too.

1. Open a Window, e.g. 'Computer' ( on Win7: hit < Alt > if the menu bar wont be shown on top of the window )
2. Go to Tools --> Folder Options and click the View tab.
3. In the Advanced settings list, enable the point 'Show hidden files and folders'.
4. Click to clear the check box 'Hide extensions for known file types'.
5. Apply this setting, and click OK.

If you test a lot of mods you may want to have quick and easy access to your data folder.
Creating a Desktop Shortcut:

1. Go to your Fallout 3 folder ( by default C:Program FilesBethesda SoftworksFallout 3

   or on Steam versions C:Program FilesSteamsteamappsCommonFallout 3 )

2. Right-Click on the Data folder icon
3. go to 'Send to'
4. click on 'Desktop (create shortcut)'
   

Sometimes it is recommended to use the Fake Patch and the Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch as workaround if you don't want to use the official Patches. But keep in mind that this wont work in every case properly. The latest official patch (v1.7) should be your very first choice.
Sometimes Modders get their file structures not correct.
In this case you could try to correct this by your own.
Use a tool like FO3 Archive Utility (requires Java) or FOMMs built in BSA Browser to open the *.bsa archives (e.g. Fallout - Textures.bsa) to get an idea, how the folder structure has to look like.
But do not try to change the *.bsa Archives!

Here you reached the end ;-) and hope it helped to clear some things up.
Enjoy Fallout3Nexus and don`t forget to rate and comment a tested mod. Keep in mind it is lots of hard and unpaid work.
.. happy modding folks
