Learn me fallout mods

So, i keep reading and hearing about fallout mods and expansion stuff.

I freaking LOVE 3, new vegas, and 4. Play them all on xbox one. 

Id love new content. 

How do i do this without downloading pr0n or virus or bricking my xbox or something? 

Im NOT a computer/gamer/it/tech guy. Im a pretty ok mechanic and can follow directions though, but megasquirt and romraider showed me my limits are far short of efi.

Annnnnnddddd GO!

I suspect those are PC only mods.   

I mean, the XBOX is essentially a modified PC, but I think you would need to do some hacking etc.

Not a clue how, but FO4 has an extensive modding community for the Play Station whatever and XBox.

Creation Club?  Through Bethesda?

I do PC, so it's easier for me.

There should be an option on your Xbox for community creations. I haven't launched the fallout games in a while to be sure exactly where, but there should be an option go there when you load in. I distinctly remember it on 4 and Skyrim bring right at the load screen.

That will get you curated mods. Because Bethesda are shiny happy people, some are paid. I don't know how much of the crazy stuff from PC transfers to console though. You most likely won't get like quests and super powers or expansions on console, but there should still be a bit of quality of life and cosmetic content. 

Nexusmods for PC is generally considered the Bethesda mod HQ. The people there are pretty good about keeping things safe. 

Oh, one thing to think of.  Usually having mods installed will turn off achievement trophies.  In case you are concerned with that.

i just did this starting last week...  

Adding mods to the Xbox is VERY easy, start by creating an account on bethesda's website.  

here is a link to the cheat terminal: https://mods.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/mod-detail/911793 click the "add to library" button it will add it to your list, google searching the name of the mod you want to add and include xbox one on the search and you should find the bethesda mod library page to add it to your library.  

once you launch the game there is an option called "mods" and you will log into the Bethesda page /w the same UN/PW as what you created the account, once you're logged in you choose to "download" from the website.  

Here is a list of a few mods that I have used up to this point:

1. cheat terminal: it's a holotape that shows up in your inventory and it gives you the ability to level up, turn on god mode, respawn NPCs, add caps, etc.  

2. Unofficial Fallout 4 patch - i don't have this one working because it requires that you have all of the DLC content which I don't have but it fixes some of the dynamics/physics in the game

3. Sim settlements 2 - this is a whole DLC in 3 chapters, the characters are fully voiced.  Basically in the first chapter you get introduced to a character who has a new tech that automates the ability to build new settlements, the inital levels walk you through how to do everything and as your settlements grow you gain the attention of some less scrupulous people who want to rain on your parade.  

4.  America rising 2 - brings the enclave back, i haven't started this one because I picked up a save where I had already beaten the game and this one introduces a whole new faction and gives you the opportunity to have a new ending with that faction so I will probably have to load a fresh game and add this mod.  

There are dozens more out there, the xbox is hard coded at 2GB of mods loaded at any one point in time. so choose your mods carefully and recognize that you likely will have to enable/disable to experience the various different stories in the mods.  

So far the only cost I have incurred besides a Microsoft game pass subscription is a $4 DLC to enable one of the mods and I have probably added 15 hours of unique content that has been fun and engaging.  

I used to run mods on PC with Nexus: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout

They have a huge library, but it's probably all for PC. I haven't logged on for a few years.

Holy crap theres a lot on that bathesda site. Way more than i ever thought.

THANKS EVERYONE!!!

Welp.  Not gonna see him for a week or two.

I use a few mods occasionally all through the creation club in the beginning screen.

Per whole house. In the living room.

One tv...like in the living room? Just get another one. 

We just bought a new one for the living room and put the old one in the spare bedroom. When we make the move, that one will get mounted in the computer room and be a game computer. 

If you don't want to fuss with Nexusmods, Wabbajack is a quicker alternative (though the list of support mods is more limited).

With Nexus, often I've found I'll spend 2-3 hours downloading mods, getting them to boot in the right order, getting them to place nice with each other, Fallout will still crash, and I'll give up after a day or two. At least Wabbajack speeds that process up

For fallout 4, modern firearms and the enclave stories are always the required stuff for me.
