Hello to all fans of the game Fallout 4. In this guide, I will tell you how to install mods for the game Fallout 4 correctly and without errors. To avoid errors after installing modifications, strictly follow the instructions located just below. There are two types of installing mods in the game Fallout 4: manual and automatic. Let's get started!
To install mods automatically in Fallout 4, you will need the Mod Manager program. Thanks to it, you can easily install various modifications to the game, and you do not have to manually make changes to the configuration files.
Manual installation of mods for the game Fallout 4 differs from automatic installation, and is divided into two types: plug-ins and resource ones. Resource mods are files and folders that are copied to the root folder of the game called “Data”. Plugins also need to be moved to the same folder, but in addition they also need to be connected. Now we will look at an example of installing these types of modifications in the game Fallout 4.
For mods to work, the first thing you need to do is set up the game configuration files. An example is given below:
We are looking for a structure in the file with the title . The main thing is that the line is written there: bEnableFileSelection=1. If this line is not there, then we write it manually ourselves. See screenshot below.
Now you know how to install resource mods in the game Fallout 4. If you find the Data folder in the archive, then move it to the game folder, agreeing to the replacement.
Plugins include ESP and ESM files. They are moved to the Fallout 4/Data folder, as well as resource folders. But they need to be connected. See example below:
We find the inscription “Read only”, uncheck the box and click apply. See screenshot below.
Description:
This program is designed to automatically install mods in Fallout 4, Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout 3, New Vegas, Dark Souls and other games, conveniently store them, disable unnecessary ones, etc. The program is in English, but is still easy to use.

Select, download and install plugins from skyrim.nexusmods.com;
Select and install mods from your hard drive;

Utilities
- Fallout 4 Script Extender(F4SE)
Many mods require F4SE to work.
Description:
The main concept of creating the Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE) is an expansion of script functionality for the game Fallout 4 and for the future Creation Kit editor. At the moment F4SE has very little functionality, but some of these functions may already be useful.
Vortex is a new modern mod manager from Nexus Mods. It's designed to make modding your game as easy as possible for new users, while still providing enough control for more seasoned veterans of the modding scene.

How to install, configure and start using Vortex, you can look in my manual on Vortex":
- Nexus Mod Manager(NMM)
Description:
This program is a very simple modification manager, however, it has decent functionality at the moment.
Using it, you can manage esp files, as well as install resource modifications, for example, retextures, audio - or any others.
Possibilities:
Using the "install" button, select esp or the archive with the modification, then follow the program's suggestions. Mods can not only be installed, but also removed, which, given the number of new mods for Fallout 4, is a very necessary feature.
When you close the mod manager or launch a game through it, it sets the plugings.txt and DLCList.txt files to read-only.
Select the files in this window (you can drag and drop), make sure the structure is correct, and then install.

It should be able to add other archives since it uses 7z for decompression.
Description:
"Another Life" allows you to avoid the fixed start of the game and choose a different role for yourself, which allows you to become more immersed in the game and enjoy playing your chosen role.
The pre-war period is just a memory simulation in your head when your synthetic body is created. After exiting the shower, the game will ask you whether you want to wake up or continue sleeping. The "wake up" option will start the modification, and continue will start the game as usual.
After you wake up, you will find yourself in one of the cells of the Synth Institute. There you will also find a pip-boy and a terminal that controls the processing parameters of the unit. Here you can choose your occupation.
Once you enter the processing chamber, you will be taken to the Commonwealth, of course, with no idea that you have ever been to the Institute.
Vault 111 will be accessible as usual, and your starting quest will be "The Jewel of the Commonwealth."
Peculiarities:
Another Life allows you to play out one of 36 lives. Each activity determines your starting equipment and weapons, your allied faction (or lack of allies), your starting ability, and your starting location. In the future, the choice of type of activity will also determine the initial quest.
Description:
Hiking Camp is obviously one of the mods that everyone wants to have in Bethesda games from day one.
This mod adds craftable/installable tents and sleeping bags (new models and high-definition textures in several color options, including camouflage), fabric fence walls, a fire, a lantern and a pot, each item with its own unique dynamic gameplay, sounds, and interactivity and animation.
Everything is simple and comfortable enough to make you feel like a real wasteland explorer.
New items:
Description:
Have you ever found it strange that 100% of the time your character is pointing his weapon at an invisible enemy somewhere in front of you? It seemed to the author of this modification that’s why he made it so that your hero, if he doesn’t shoot, puts his weapon to the side.
At the moment, this is a simple animation modification and there is no delay in putting the weapon away, for example, after a fight. The author will try to do everything possible to implement it. However, it is fully working and can be used now.
Weapon grip in power armor is also supported. For more details on how it looks, see the video and screenshots. In my opinion, a must have for better immersion in the game.
Description:
Mod Configuration Menu (MCM)- this is a functionality that adds to the game menu Fallout 4 new category "Mod Settings".
Mod settings will be stored in INI files along the path Data\MCM\Settings, making it easy to back up and restore settings and even change them outside of the game if necessary if the mod supports this option.
IMPORTANT:
Description:
HUDFramework - This is a very useful UI framework that will allow you to install various modifications that change / complement the game interface.
With it, for example, you can display:

Description:
Developers from NVIDIA have created a mod for Fallout 4 called "Vault 1080", which will add a new Vault 1080 to the game, with its own quest, and the mod also adds super-improved lighting and shadows using Next-Gen GameWorks technology.
More details:
Build a new settlement almost anywhere in the Commonwealth!
Description:
This mod "Conquest of lands - camping and building settlements" is from the author of the well-known Frostfall mod for Skyrim.
The mod will add a variety of camping equipment and the ability to create completely new settlements anywhere in the Commonwealth; the mod will go perfectly with the regular game mode and the new Survival mode.
More details:
1.Camping
Description:
Are you tired of monotonous settlers? Not you alone! The author was also tired of this, so he decided to create a modification that would add some variety to this aspect of the game.
In addition, the author wanted to give them better initial equipment, so that they would not have to waste time on completely improving it. This mod makes the settlers more cool, they also have a wider choice of clothing (31 clothing options, 25 hats, glasses, bandanas and 4 sets of armor), better starting weapons and a chance to carry stimulants.
For reasons unknown to me, the mod also washes their face and makes their faces cleaner! The mod also includes equipment classes, which gives settlers a chance to get a much better set of equipment. All clothing combinations in the screenshots are randomly generated at spawn.
Known problem - minor cosmetic bug - do not install before reading. When you install the mod and load the game, it will give some of your settlers new equipment. Sometimes this can create a conflict with their equipment.
This can give rise to some very strange combinations. This is just a cosmetic bug - you can always change the clothes of your settlers.
Detailed description:
The mod only affects ORDINARY SETTLERS. It does not affect companions, children and settlers with names.
Details of the changes are below, but you'll probably find it easier to see everything in the screenshots.
Changes affecting all regular settlers.
They have added the ability "Zhip 3" and "Adamantium Skeleton 3", so that they cannot be crippled and are healed between battles.
Slightly stronger - about 3 times more health (at the level of a psychic raider).
Everyone has a chance to have 0-2 stimulants.
Everyone has a chance to be equipped with one of the following sets of equipment (all weapons and armor have a chance to receive modifications):
There are approximately 23 more types of clothes (31 in total) - look at the screenshots.
There are about 17 more types of hats (25 in total) (25% get a hat) - look at the screenshots.
No extra armor (other than what they can get in the original - Spiked Armor, Brawler Armor, Vagabond Suit
One of the following weapons: .39 smoothbore, .45 smoothbore revolver, crowbar, lead riser, or machete (a gunshot is much more likely)
Parts of metal armor + leather armor + civilian clothing may fall out. Typically drops at least 2 pieces of leather armor.
One of the following weapons: Double-barreled shotgun, 10mm pistol, Revolutionary Blade, baseball bat, or hammer (a gunshot is much more likely)
May drop a set of leather armor + military clothing + random light military headdress + chance for points (4 options)
Weapon: Hunting rifle or submachine gun
Full set of metal armor + military clothing + random military headdress + chance for points + "good guy" bandana (4 options)
Full set of metal armor + military clothing + random heavy military headdress + chance for points + "good guy" bandana (4 options)
Weapon: hunting rifle only
Compatibility:
RHD (Robot Defense) is incompatible with any other categories that add new items to the Defense category in the workshop (for example, guard posts, turrets, or traps). It is also incompatible with other mods that edit the Robotics Expert ability - you will no longer be able to take them with you.It is compatible with Homemaker, SSEx and Robot Guardians. If you find an incompatibility and create a patch, I will add it to the mod page. I don't make compatibility patches for mods I don't use.
In certain cases, mods that add categories to the workshop run into problems even if they don't edit the same category. To avoid this, try placing this mod higher (or lower) in the download list. At the moment there is no way to fix this.

This mod adds three workbenches that you can place in your settlements with the same models and animations as the original workbenches, but these workbenches allow you to craft items along with customizing weapons or armor.
On these workbenches you can create melee and ranged weapons, ammunition, armor and power armor of all varieties, clothes, suits, helmets, glasses, masks, as well as hairpins and other items. Besides the fact that they look and work as usual, your settlers will also use them.
