Fallout 4 has been nominated for Game of the Year, and I can certainly understand why. There’s a huge open-world to explore, there are tons of weapons to uncover (and customize), there are all sorts of enemies to defeat, there’s an enormous branching story to experience, and there’s a new settlement building component that serves as a good distraction when you don’t want to go out into the wasteland and get chased by ghouls and super mutants.

While some may argue that Fallout 4 isn’t as captivating as previous Fallout games, there’s no denying that it looks a lot better than its predecessors. Still, there’s room for improvement. This is where mods come in. By modding Fallout 4, you can get it to look amazing. Here are 5 mods that will considerably enhance how Fallout 4 looks.

Better storm weather effects with True Storms – Wasteland Edition

This mod completely overhauls the game’s storm systems. It comes with better graphics for the rain, new thunder and rain sound effects, and even new weather types.




The changing seasons come to Fallout via the Fallout 4 Seasons Project

Spring, summer, autumn and winter. By taking different textures and mixing them together, the creators of this mod were able to bring the four yearly seasons to Fallout 4. The action takes place in the year 2287, 210 years after the Third World War. Nature must have recovered by then.




Make Fallout 4 look like older Fallout games with Decay - Reshade Preset

Okay, okay. You don’t want to run the immersion by introducing seasons. You want Fallout to stay true to its roots, and be just as bleak as older Fallout games. This mod lets you access 4 presents and make the atmosphere more bleak, desaturated and moody.




Enjoy Fallout 4 in 4K with Haul'd Out 4K

What this mod does is it overhauls the game’s textures for 4K. It is being released in modules to save bandwidth and allow for faster incremental updates.




More realistic lighting and textures with Improved and Expanded Everything

What we have here is a preset for ENBseries that makes the game look better. It thoroughly enhances Fallout 4 graphics without breaking the immersion.
