• Fallout 4 Eye Normal Map Fix

I've been known to write too much redundant nonsense, so I'll try to keep the descriptions short and concise this time.When Fallout 4 launched I thought it was amazing. When I was 10 hours in or so, I started getting very disappointed by some design decisions, or straight up lack thereof. Features, systems and concepts that I felt needed to be in here were nowhere to be found. Even worse, some basic things that were present in Fallout 3 didn't even make it in here.

Tips for survival mode in Fallout 4. Picture Weird Fallout 4 graphics bug looks eerily beautiful screenshots, pc, low settings. 2 points 3 points 4 points 3. Apr 8, 2019 - Fallout 4 is a pretty handsome game, even if it does suffer from some technical hang-ups. Its world is. No more eye seizures for you!

Ultimately, the game felt bare bones and stripped to me. It wasn't the push forward that I expected.There is an absolute fantastic game in here, evidenced by the fact that it outperformed Skyrim, it just needs some help getting out. Help in the terms of mods. Here are some that I use. If I have marked it with 'Essential' it indicates that this feature either should have been in the game to begin with, or is impossible to imagine playing the game without it.

Check those out first. Visual- EssentialAlters existing weather conditions like rain and thunder to be more realistic, noticeable and impactful. It also adds several new types of weather that, beyond just looking awesome, also affect gameplay. My favorite, the radiation storm, reduces visibility and makes you take constant radiation damage if you're out and about. You will end up having a reason to take cover inside and find a bed to sleep in to wait it out.

This fits exceptionally well with Survival Mode.If anything, I'm impressed by this mod's restraint to not overdo anything. It is a very nuanced tweak to clouds and fogs, that is more noticeable when it is in movement while playing. Also works with True Storms to add more nuance to the weather types.Makes water look significantly better, especially in motion. Also adds new, better animations when rainfall interacts with water and such. It was a hard decision to say this isn't essential because the impact isn't that big, but I do highly recommend it.- EssentialThis is one of those mods where upon experiencing it, you're baffled how poor vanilla was in retrospect. I had never noticed before how washed out and surreal the lighting was in vanilla interiors until I turned this mod off. This improves the atmosphere in a great way.Did you ever notice how Pipe-Rifles and such were completely yellow/brownish?

It looked pretty jarring. This mod replaces those textures with a more realistic look. At least, it looks more realistic to me, perhaps in reality weapons would turn completely yellow and brown over time, but it looks like garbage.Makes blood looks significantly better. Admit it, you love murder. You need and want to be confronted with the aftermath of murder as realistic as possible. I have a misplaced sense of integrity that makes me not say this is essential because the impact is low, but trust me, you need this in your life.- EssentialDid you ever notice there was a day/night cycle in Fallout 4?

Because I saw stars in the sky once, but that was about the only change. I could still see everything just as clearly. You need this because you want nighttime to matter. You want a reason to sleep.

You want to feel that change in atmosphere. You want to have to use your Pip-Boy Light (I bet you didn't even know there was one). It also comes with the option of changing enemy visibility during nighttime so they can't see you as easily if your Pip-Boy Light is turned off (seriously, there is a light). Increasing stealth viability and further adding reason to choose either day or nighttime.- EssentialDid you ever notice the icons on your map are not placed where the actual point of interest is in the world?

It's off by a bit. This mod not just fixes that, but also adds the main roads to your map so you can see which approach you are supposed to take to reach a certain point of interest. That means, no more trying to 'Skryim' your way up a cliff you're not supposed to be able to scale just because you are clueless how to actually get to the place you want to go to.Makes eyes more sparkling, colorful and lush. While it may look a bit much on this comparison, I found it actually looks good and proper in the game itself.Does not overhaul anything except for their appearance. It makes the companions look more distinct and overall better.

It's more than just increased pixels or texture replacers though, the characters also look different than their vanilla counterparts, so you may not appreciate this one. I did.Ever thought the Fallout world looked a little too destroyed? A little too brown and grey? This adds four distinct seasons to the game along with more grass and plants depending on the season you are in. You can only have one season active at a time, the way mods work with the game prevents the mod from having an active season rotation while playing. You can still install all four and then deactivate and activate whichever season you want at any time during your save, but you do have to exit the game first.

My advice is to either use the one season you like best or set a timer and change your season when it goes off (for me every 10 hours).Replaces Mama Murphy with a more attractive skin. Does not alter her voice at all. No, I'm not twelve, shut up.Apparently all birds died in the explosion, which makes sense. But I still like to believe some birds survived and are making due. This adds bird sounds to the game, which I enjoy a lot. There is also a 'less radiant' mod version.Caliente's Beautiful Body EnhancerI don't even know if I'm allowed to link to this mod, so as a precaution I won't.

It makes female bodies look better and adds the option to have them appear nude if they don't have any clothes on. I also have a mod installed that does the same for men. Yes, I'm probably a dirt-bag, but that's not why I have these mods. Here's the thing, it always bothered me that there are explosions going off left and right, limbs flying everywhere, blood and brain matter splattered on the floor and walls, but if you strip someone off their clothes they still have underwear on? If you're on a quest where a guy is 'collecting nude bodies' and you discover his 'stash' and they still all have underwear on? Listen, I'm not going to say the game has perfect immersion other than this, but I want to be as close as I can get. When people are stripped of their clothes, they are naked.

I don't like the taboo on nudity and/or sex and this makes me very aware there is still underwear on these people because it's still socially unacceptable otherwise. That breaks immersion for me, I don't like it. GameplayYou like pointing that weapon straight forward all the time do you? It's probably smarter and more comfortable to hold it down if you're exploring and not in immediate combat, so that's what you should do.Survival Mode is a fantastic mode. I like not being able to fast travel and having to sleep and eat. But some of the things go a little far. I still want to play the game so carrying 20 pound cement blocks that I need for base building from place to place and having to make literally 6 trips is a little much.

But i really enjoyed a specific look to it. Female barbarian armor skyrim.

Another such thing is ammo. It should weigh nothing to make the game better for what it is.See description above. Makes junk and other items weightless. This has options build in to decide which items you want to make weightless. For me, it was all the junk that has no use to the player other than base building. I still made food and such have weight.Speaking of which.

This alters the Strong Back perk to also reduce the weight of currently equipped armor, which makes a lot of sense and makes that perk better.Allows the crafting of fusion cores, which are finite items in vanilla that you require for the use of power armor, by using fusion cells. You find plenty of fusion cores over the course of the game, but unfortunately they do run out. Having to use a wiki to look up where I can find more is less preferable.- EssentialBecause the default cap doesn't allow you to build nearly enough. If you want to build anything worthwhile, this is absolutely necessary. It is perfectly safe and stable to increase the amount by 3 without problems. Note you have to activate this mod in the game too, look at the description for this mod.Circumvent one of the most annoying systems in Bethesda games, carry weight, by increasing the amount you can carry while having an in-world logical reason to be able to do so.

Because unlimited carry weight is too much, but vanilla is too restrictive and increasing it outright is not elegant.We need a home base. And it has to look good.- EssentialSpeaking of looking good, I remember setting plates on tables along with cups and such, only to have it fall through the floor when I had left and came back later. The save states in Fallout 4 for objects do not support what they are supposed to. This mod allows you to make certain objects static, so they can't fall over, which also means they will stay in the place you put them when you return later. This means Dogmeat can also walk all over it and it won't matter.

Roleplay friendly.If you like Survival Mode, this enhances your experience. No fast travel means sleeping bags and campfires that allow you to cook are awesome and make in-world sense.Allows you to take cover in third person mode to get better situational awareness and shoot as you want. I don't use it a lot, but it helps in certain situations.Because while we understand there are no actual physics involved when building, it does look very dumb when things stick out without support of any kind. This is not required for you to use, but you can to make things look more realistic.Survival Mode is great, but knowing how hungry, thirsty or sleepy you are could be a little less obtuse. Color coding always works great to distinguish things.I'm not one to quickly recommend visual weapon mods, but can you say these look bad?- EssentialDoesn't need further elaboration, but I will say having hairstyles locked behind completing the game and starting a new character for a game like this makes absolutely no sense. Thanks mod, at least you're reasonable.Lots more hairstyles for and and First, I realize that the above sentence makes it sound like beards are their own type of gender, but I'm generally happy how it came out. Second, more hairstyles are always a good thing.

The mods linked add over 150 to each, some of them are going to be garbage but there are a lot of cool ones in there that fill a void.See when affinity goes up, down, by how much and your totals. Also, request affinity updates at any time. Makes the somewhat weird affinity system more transparent.Son, you need this craftable suit. It looks great.

This particular list of is a bit more grounded, focusing on making the Commonwealth even more beautiful without altering gameplay. You can even download some of these.Here are IGN’s top 10 visual mods for Fallout 4.10.

Lowered Weapons by Lesma666Ever since Wolfenstein and Doom, we’ve always wondered why first-person shooters force your character to run around with their weapon constantly pointed out in front of them.
