Nexus Mod Manager
Download link
The NMM is compatible with Fallout 4, and as the years pass and the mods stack up, it’ll be pretty much indispensable. What’s more, it works with a bunch of other games like Bethesda’s RPG, The Witcher 3, Dark Souls 1 and 2, and World of Tanks. It makes downloading and managing mods from the Nexus a breeze.
Fallout 4 Script Extender
Download link
As the modding scene for Fallout 4 grows, more and more will use the Fallout 4 Script Extender. It’s a utility that allows mods to work without actually modifying the game’s executable files, so even if something goes wrong with a mod it won’t cause any permanent damage.

With the arrival of official modding tools came Bethesda’s own repository for Fallout 4 mods. You’ll need an account (it’s free) and once you have one you’ll be able to browse and download mods even while you’re in the game.

Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he’d stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He’s also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
