Fallout 4 Better Companions Mod

I review the top 5 Companion Mods for Fallout 4! Links: Everyone's Best Friend - WRVR Radio Station- http://ww. Better Accuracy for Companions - posted in Fallout 4 Mod Requests: As the title says, Id like for companions to be more accurate with their weapons. Generally, I play the role of a sniper, while carrying a shotgun and rocket launcher for the situations that require it. With the sniper rifle, Although it takes more time to line up the shots id like, I consistently land headshots manually when V. In default vanilla Fallout 4, Dogmeat is a German Shepherd Breed. However, installing this companion mod turns Dogmeat into a Husky Breed. It’s simply an aesthetic mod and doesn’t change anything when it comes to carry weight, animations etc. It only changes Dogmeats appearance. All Settlements Extended. Simply put, this mod increases the size of all vanilla settlements in Fallout.

For a lot of people, it’s amazing that even after five years of its official release Fallout 4 remains one of the most played and talked-about open-world games.

However, take a quick look at Fallout 4’s NexusMods page and it’s easy to understand the reason.

The community built around Fallout 4 has continued putting out content on the regular ever since its release, becoming more sophisticated as time goes by.

Nowadays even the smaller quest mods can add over an hour of gameplay.

The bigger ones? They might as well get bought out by Bethesda to be released as entirely new, full-priced games!

Luckily for us, most modders don’t pursue such lines of thinking. And we have a wide array of new storylines to pursue in Fallout 4’s Wasteland.

To bring more attention to some of the most amazing expansions the game has seen to date, I decided to put together this ranking and I really hope you find something you like out of it.

15. NVIDIA’s Vault 1080

NVIDIA’s Vault 1080 by modder Ex0dus13 is a joint venture between Nvidia and Vault-Tec to show off new ways to handle volumetric lighting.

Which, if you didn’t know, is used in-game to create a wonderfully moody atmosphere.

As such, the mod includes a questline where light will play an important role in leading you through a dilapidated church as you uncover the truth about a dark and twisted religious congregation and their fall from grace.

14. Fallout Who

Doctor Who is one of those things that, no matter what you mix it with, it’ll turn out amazing.

So long as the work is put in to make it just incredible, of course.

Modder Demeggy has certainly put in the effort to make an amazing Doctor Who mod that’ll see you uncovering your heritage as a Gallifreyan Time Lord, exiled to a post-apocalyptic Earth to live out your days.

In this mod, what you’re really aiming for is the rewards. Which include a Sonic Screwdriver multi-tool, Time Lord abilities and yes, a TARDIS that serves as a player home that is bigger on the inside.

13. Vault 494 – A Vault-Tec Story

Somewhere in the Nahant area lies Vault 494, an as-of-yet undiscovered survival capsule where Vault-Tec expected to research the creation of a crime-free society.

With over an hour of content and scripted events, Vault 494 by modder Seddo4494 is a story of intrigue and tragedy where you’ll get to see how the occupants struggled to achieve their objectives while being undermined by a most silent saboteur – human nature.

12. The Collector’s Guides

This mod by Elys is a simple one, but also a great improvement for those of us who suck at finding collectibles.

It provides a series of in-game guides that lead you to collectibles such as magazines and bobbleheads. Just read one of them and you’ll be directed to the items on the list.

11. Atomic Radio and Tales from The Commonwealth

Fallout 4 More Companions Mod Ps4

I love listening to the radio in Fallout 4.

It’s one of the most immersive things to do on your off-time while planning your next move or moving towards it.

And it staves off the maddening loneliness that comes with wandering the Wasteland.

Atomic Radio and Tales from The Commonwealth by NexusMods user KrisTakahashi offers you the opportunity to dive into the lives of the Wasteland’s inhabitants in a way you never have before, all complemented by a new pre-war radio channel with 5 hours’ worth of lore-friendly content.

Will you help the baseball team trying to ascend to heaven through their score?

Or get involved with the development of electronic mail?

Perhaps you’ll just sit down and listen to the radio as the world goes by…

10. Maxwell’s World

Whereas normal people generally play horror games when they’re craving some adrenaline, I prefer to hit the Nexus and find a mod to wreck my nerves.

If you’re looking for the same thing then you can’t pass up this fully-voiced haunted amusement park story by modder Trainwiz.

In Maxwell’s World, nothing is as it seems… or perhaps everything is, considering it’s all spooky as hell.

Battle disembodied entities and crazed zombies with new weapons like the Heavy Incinerator or the Fireworks Cannon as you make your way to one of the multiple endings.

9. Ransacked Relays and Shuddersome Subways

Also from the mind of Trainwiz comes Ransacked Relays and Shuddersome Subways, two inter-connected questlines featuring new locations, unique bosses and a riveting storyline.

I can’t say too much about these quests without spoiling the story for you, but if facing an insane AI controlling teleporters or impaling a Mirelurk Queen with a train sounds like your kind of thing… I’m sure you’ll enjoy this a lot.

8. Operation Manhattan – New York

Some of us just couldn’t get enough of the Brotherhood of Steel during the game’s main quest.

Modder AlxRam was one such person, so they decided to create a whole new high-level BoS-oriented questline to satiate that thirst for camaraderie and Power Armors.

Operation Manhattan will have you fighting supermutants, along with heavily armed Raiders and Gunners through Central Park, Manhattan and even the city’s subway to rescue a fellow soldier.

It’s like Saving Private Ryan with a lot more radiation.

Fallout 4 Better Companions Mod 1.12.2

7. 50 Ways to Die at Dr. Nick’s

If finding death and destruction around every corner is what you’re into, then you’ll feel right at home playing 50 Ways to Die at Dr. Nick’s.

With 10 connected quests featuring puzzles, mysteries, plot-twists and a lot of explosions, this mod by prolific creator Rbdcc12 has become a classic in the modding community.

Even after clearing the storyline, your game will remain forever improved by the unique rewards.

These include your new player home with very detailed decoration, and lots of new craftables with… interesting effects.

6. Project Valkyrie

While I enjoy little self-contained adventures as much as the next guy, I get especially excited for mods that connect to the game’s main storyline and change my experience in ways I would never have expected.

That’s exactly what Project Valkyrie by Thuggysmurf does, opening the way to four completely new endings for the game’s main quest.

Break the bindings of fate by brokering a peace between the BoS and the Institute. Or better yet, imprison Preston Garvey shortly after you meet him. It’s your choice.

And that’s only the tip of the iceberg that is this mod, which features over five hours of gameplay, four fully-voiced companions that interact with the story, and the possibility to completely overhaul the Institute once you become Director.

5. America Rising – A Tale of The Enclave

You’ve just woken up from 200 years in stasis, and the world as you know it has ceased to exist. As you try to piece together what’s happened, you realize you’re not alone.

There are others like you out there, trying to take back what was lost – the Enclave.

Modder Otellino offers players with a soft spot for the most conservative group in the Wasteland a chance to re-connect in a mod that’s seamlessly integrated into the game, featuring hours of gameplay, two fully-voiced companions, and a sweet player home sitting on an abandoned oil rig.

4. Depravity – A Harmless Bit of Fun

Self-described as the largest quest and companion mod ever, Depravity offers players the opportunity to play a truly evil Sole Survivor in over 10 hours of absurd gameplay.

The mod, by creator ThuggySmurf, includes 20 interconnected quests, seven fully-voiced companions to escort you through them, and some of the most detailed player bases around.

Where Project Valkyrie offers you a new way to finish the game, Depravity is meant to give you more freedom in how you play the opening act.

3. Fusion City Rising

Fusion City Rising is both a quest mod and a complete expansion of Diamond City, allowing you to enter its seedy underbelly.

While it does feature several hours of gameplay, fully-voiced companions and the possibility to blow up a bunch of stuff with nuclear weapons, that’s not what makes this mod special.

Rather it’s the setting of Fusion City that really takes center stage.

Lose yourself in the largest underground community in the Commonwealth, larger than Diamond City itself.

Go shopping at the mall, train in its shooting ranges, get acquainted with the local factions and, when you’re looking for a bit of fun, visit Club Fusion to party like it’s 2077.

2. Outcasts and Remnants

This mod by ThuggySmurf opens the doors to over 20 hours of engaging gameplay that’ll have you interacting with leftovers from the main factions in the vanilla game.

Exiles from the Brotherhood of Steel, Vault-Tec survivors and even remnants from Fallout 3’s Enclave star in this ambitious expansion.

Explore new locations, claim new player homes and befriend two fully-voiced custom companions as you get to know the Outcasts and Remnants.

1. The Machine and Her

The Machine and Her by NikaCola is a gigantic quest mod with over five hours of immersive gameplay.

This also includes an enthralling custom soundtrack and an entirely new radio station with over 50 tracks and a fully-voiced DJ.

Really, this is big.

The mod and its story are centered around Kit, one of the most complex custom companions in Fallout 4 history.

Not only does she have over 6,000 lines of dialogue, but also an AI that can take orders and implement strategies set by the player.

This new follower will accompany you all throughout this story, judging your actions based on how much she trusts you, and how cynical she thinks you are.

Will you show her not all survivors are the same? Or will you remind her it’s a dog-eat-dog world out there?

Fallout 4’s post-apocalyptic Wasteland is far too vast a place to explore on your own.

Loneliness creeps in slowly as the silence becomes deafening, and the banging of a far-away raider’s rifle is as much a warning of danger as it is a respite from the maddening isolation.

The vanilla game offers plenty of options to keep you company during your travels.

One option is to take Dogmeat along, hoping it’ll warn you of incoming threats and become a food supply were things to get hairy.

Another possibility is to recruit synths, humans and even a super mutant you can talk to while roaming the Commonwealth.

But after so many years of playing the same game, talking to the same people and traveling with the same nutjobs that seemed so interesting in the past… everything starts becoming faded and the ranting of irradiated minds goes from hilariously bizarre to boring and dull.

To improve your experience making friends and influencing people in the Commonwealth, I’ve gathered a list of my favorite companion-related mods available for Fallout 4, making sure there’s something for players on every platform.

12. Companion Infinite Ammo

Fallout

Available For: PS4/PC

Conserving ammunition is an art.

A discipline requiring good aim and control of your emotions.

You don’t empty a whole mag into a deathclaw’s foot because you’re scared of it, do you?

The thing is, companions rarely have the luxury of a thinking mind that’ll correctly assess the situation. So what do they do?

They spray and pray, every time.

With this mod by Olofstrom, this liability can become an asset as your companions make lead rain upon your enemies without spending a single bullet.

11. Everyone’s Best Friend

Available For: PC/XBOX ONE

There’s plenty of evidence in Fallout 4 suggesting that, originally, Dogmeat was meant to accompany you all the time.

This meant not counting as a companion and therefore leaving the spot open for someone else.

Dogmeat does very little damage, companion perks don’t apply to it, and you can even have the Lone Wanderer perks active while traveling together! There was clearly a last-minute change.

This mod by creator Valdacil simply rights that wrong, letting you keep your canine friend with you without sacrificing the aid of someone who can operate a gun and, well, talk.

10. Visible Companion Affinity

Available For: PC/XBOX ONE

I’ve never been a fan of how many games with companion approval rating systems give you no way of checking your progress at all.

Now thanks to this mod by Cdante, that should no longer be an issue in Fallout 4.

Not only will you get some extra information each time something affects affinity, such as your current standing, but you’ll be able to check it at any time through an item in your inventory.

Simple, clever, and seamless.

9. MAID – Motorized Artificial Intelligent Doll

Available For: PC

Despite this list being aimed at finding great companion mods that are multiplatform, there are a couple that are too cool to leave out despite being only on PC.

The Motorized Artificial Intelligent Doll is one such item.

It replaces the Assaultron with a dangerously “kawaii” and very customizable anime-inspired robot, complete with THICC legs and adjustable breast size.

Although at first glance seems un-immersive, I wouldn’t put it past some Institute tinkerer to make this in their private time.

8. Dogmetal (Dog Robot Companions)

Available For: PC/XBOX ONE

One of my favorite parts about Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was the fact that Raiden had a badass robot dog to help him tear his enemies to shreds.

And thanks to modder Darklynxxx, your Sole Survivor can have their very own robot mutt – a Dogbot, replacing the game’s classic Dogmeat.

It has unique armors, a much higher defense, and the strength to rip your enemies apart.

If you’d rather keep the lovely German Shepherd around then you can also add up to three automatron dogbot companions instead of replacing it.

7. Companion Appearance Overhaul

Available For: PS4/PC/XBOX ONE

Speaking of spicing up your companions, consider the Companion Appearance Overhaul by Elianora, which promises to make Piper, Curie and some others much more appealing.

This mod is special because, unlike most of what you’ll find in the Nexus or elsewhere, it’s actually available for the PS4 version of the game.

Which isn’t true for every mod due to some coding challenges for the console.

That said, the PC and Xbox One version also swap the companion’s armors for better-looking ones that work with the CBBE body type – which the PS4 has no access to.

6. Companions Go Home

Available For: PC

Another mod that’s only on PC but too good to leave out is Companions Go Home, which lets your followers go back to their daily lives when not adventuring with you.

Unlimited Companions Mod Fallout 4

Few things are as immersion-breaking as watching Piper farm turnips in Sanctuary while complaining that she’s worried sick about her loved ones back home.

Fallout

What’s Publick Occurrences without Piper, or the Valentine Detective Agency without Nick?

5. Heather Casdin

Available For: PC/XBOX ONE

If you’ve been modding Bethesda games for a while, you may be familiar with LlamaRCA. Or at least their famous companion mod for Fallout NV – Willow.

This amazing creator is back in the scene, offering their take on what an immersive companion in Fallout 4 should be like.

Meet Heather Casdin, a synth-phobic girl living in a run-down world and hating every second of it, which she’ll let you know through over 1200 lines of custom voiced dialogue.

4. Ellen – The Cartographer

Available For: PC/XBOX ONE

In the same vein as the previous mod comes Ellen The Cartographer, a lore-friendly companion born and raised in New Vegas who couldn’t pass up the chance to come and check out the almost-intact Commonwealth area.

She’s romanceable, has custom quests related to her, and she’s fully-voiced by none other than PotasticPanda, known as the voice for the Recorder companion in Skyrim & girlfriend to a legend in the modding community – MxR.

3. Unlimited Companion Framework

Available For:PS4/PC/XBOX ONE

A very simple and useful mod that’s luckily available on every platform is the Unlimited Companion Framework.

As the name implies, this mod by Expired6978 allows you to keep up to 15 companions at once with full functionality, and even more if you’re willing to give up companion dialogue.

Running a small army has never been so easy.

Fallout 4 Custom Companion Mod

2. Nora Spouse Companion

Available For: PC/XBOX ONE

Fallout 4’s protagonist is a tragic hero that truly embodies the name “Sole Survivor”.

Not only do they wake up alone in an unknown place, but they’ve also lost their son, and their spouse is too dead to help them find him in any way.

With the addition of the Nora Spouse Companion mod, Fallout 4 can become a game about family and the lengths a loving couple is willing to go to stay together and take back their son.

Or, you know… if you decided to play a female Sole Survivor it can be about a girl and her clone going around shooting stuff.

1. The Machine and Her

Available For: PC/XBOX ONE

Fallout 4 Better Companions Mod 1.7.10

Without the shadow of a doubt, the most sophisticated and expansive companion mod available for Fallout 4 is The Machine and Her, introducing the mysterious Kit.

Modder NikaCola designed a companion with a complex AI capable of judging you based on both trust and your moral compass.

And she’ll let you know her opinions through her myriad of voiced dialogue lines.

With an amazing soundtrack and a long well-written quest to uncover her mysteries, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better companion than Kit.
