Choose Your Own Perks Mod Fallout 4 Ps4

Fallout 4 may have released its final official DLC, but the mod community is still going strong. Mods are now available not just on PC, but also console — and now that weeks have passed and the PS4 has a healthy supply of different mods to choose from, it’s time to show off mods that make a great game even better. Here you’ll find all the greatest mods that add new content to the base games and its expansions — from fresh settlements, to new interiors and quests, to utilities you can use to build the homestead of your dreams.

Fallout 4 features an extensive crafting system when it comes to weapon modifications. It can be a little overwhelming at first, but understanding these basics and taking a look some of our useful. Anywho, I think that perk locked workshop is dumb. So I downloaded the perk free workshop mod, great. However, I downloaded Settlementhe Object Expansion mod (heretofore referred to as SOE). But there's a bunch of cool (and convenient ) power and water related stuff that still has perk requirements.

There’s a reason why I wanted to discuss mods on the PS4 specifically. They’re extremely limited. Instead of (almost) full access to new items, objects and audio like on the Xbox One, PS4 mods are relegated to only using current in-game assets. That severely limits creativity, and effectively cuts the PS4 modding community off at the knees. It’s an aggravating truth, but one that hundreds of awesome creators are working with to release useful mods for the console community.

If you’re skeptical, own a PS4, or just want to see what’s available — here are some of the best content-related Fallout 4 console mods (for PS4) released so far.

Immersive Gameplay

Author: Jacomel
Download Size: 2.64 MB
DLC Required: None / Automatron + Far Harbor + Nuka World [Two versions of the mod are available.]

[Note: Always place this mod at the end of your load order.]

The largest gameplay and difficulty mod available for console is now available on Playstation 4. Designed for hardcore players, this unpredictable and deadly mod tries to bring realism into the post-apocalypse. AI routines have changed depending on the enemy group, with human mercenaries fighting carefully from cover while Super Mutants use their enhanced strength to charge wildly. Monsters are fierce, and humans are deadly.

The player begins with only 20 HP, and gun damage is calculated by caliber. Ammunition has weight, can be crafted and melee attacks are deadlier than before. On top of all those changes, you’ll also find a stack of gear under your pre-war bed. This mod changes how you’ll play from the start, so it’s recommended you begin a new game from scratch before activating it.

There’s also a version designed for DLC — with changes made to new content only found in Automatron, Nuka-World and Far Harbor.

Outfield Retreat

Author: TheRealElianora
Download Size: 298.23 KB
DLC Required: None

This brand-new player house was created, in the author’s own words, to “shut the mouths of people constantly grieving that “PS4 MODS WILL SUCK!”. In any case, this Diamond City housing doesn’t suck. Carefully designed for maximum comfort (and Feng Shui), this impressive bit of modelling includes all the simple things a Sole Survivor needs to relax between quests.

The small space contains a map marker for fast travel, a workstation, bobblehead shelf, unique storage cases, clean water, a fancy bed, and plenty of bookshelves you can use. The decorations, though, can’t be altered. This house isn’t for players looking to display everything they own, or to customize — this is for the laid back adventurer that wants a nice place away from the hustle-bustle of settlements that’s pre-made. There’s even a day-night cycle.

Plenty ‘O’ Exploration

Author: DangoSan
Download Size: 531.67 KB
DLC Required: None

[Note: This mod is still in development, and will see new content updates in the near future.]

This mod may only be in BETA for PS4, it includes something every Fallout fan should enjoy — plenty of new interiors and exteriors to explore. As explained in the description, most of the new interiors can be found in the Concord area, which is sadly underutilized in the main portion of the game. This simple mod adds nine new interiors to the mix, fully explorable and completely immersive. Like any good mod, these locations look like they belong in the main game.

Then there’s the exteriors. There are multiple haunts, huts, and retreats to stumble into as you progress through the northern reaches of the Commonwealth. If you felt like Fallout 4 didn’t have enough locations, both inside or out, then this is a great mod to get started on.

There are more mods that are compatible — combine them for even more extra locations to explore.

Mix and match to truly expand the Commonwealth into a bustling area with endless exploration options.

A Cannibal in Concord

Author: T9x69
Download Size: 442.67 KB
DLC Required: None

Speaking of additional Concord content, this puzzle-based atmospheric exploration mod sends your Sole Survivor on an ambient quest deep into the mind of a maniac. Featuring short stories and quotes meant to completely creep you out, this spooky house is designed for a solo trip for maximum spook-factor. This addition isn’t about running-and-gunning, or even a traditional quest structure.

If you’re looking for an interesting place to puzzle over that’s filled with creepy visuals, this is one of the best mods available on the PS4. Don’t worry that your companion won’t go inside the house with you — that’s by design.

Spectacle Island Revamped

Author: FelloutIsLife
Download Size: 1.12 MB
DLC Required: None

[Note: Before activating this mod, travel to Spectacle Island and activate the beacon in the base game.]

The largest settlement in Fallout 4 just got a revamp. This mod completely changes Spectacle Island into a far more colorful and interesting place. You can still establish a settlement and build on new-and-improved flat land, with 5 new mini-areas to check out. Each of these areas comes with a separate text-based side-quest you can complete for special rewards — including a new gun.

Portable Nuka Jetpack

DLC Required: Nuka-World

Want to go flying, but don’t want that bulky Power Armor? If you have the Nuka-World DLC, you can take to the skies with this amazing jetpack, available for free in the Super Duper Mart. This is a quick solution, and doesn’t require access to one of those tricky Power Armor upgrades. There’s no fall damage, the suit comes with ballistic weave, and the included helmet helps deal with radiation.

If you’re not so fond of the Nuka-World outfit this jetpack comes with, try out the incredibly useful Unified Clothing Overhaul Mod by ANDREWCX, also featured in this article below. His mod adds tons of useful features to clothing crafting, and unlocks the jetpack for Nuka-World owners.

Wacky Weapon Workshop

Fallout 4 Ps4 Mods List

DLC Required: None / Automatron + Nuka-World + Far Harbor [Two versions of the mod are available.]

Not satisfied with weapon customization in Fallout 4? Here’s a mod that gives you plenty of tools to expand your arsenal, effectively allowing you to create insane franken-guns using every part from almost every weapon. The mod removes perk requirements and material costs so you can freely experiment to make the wild weapon of your dreams.

And there are limitations. Not every gun part fits to every other gun part — the mod doesn’t alter models, animations, or stats of these weapons, and does not include melee weapons. This is about guns only. What makes this mod special is the creative way it wants to get around the obvious drawbacks of PS4 modding. This is a development tool, better for creating cool custom weapons than for day-to-day play. The author recommends finishing your awesome assets, then disabling the mod when you’re finished. Here’s hoping this mod helps future authors create new weapons on the PS4.

DrakenVale Manor

DLC Required: Far Harbor + Nuka World

[Note: If the location does not properly load on your first visit, fast travel to a different location. Fast travel back to the manor and that should make the textures load properly.]

Another awesome exploration / playing housing mod on the Playstation 4, this ambient retreat doesn’t offer scares like “A Cannibal in Concord” — instead you’ll find an incredibly detailed and impressive mansion filled with interesting things to interact with. Yes, there is a roller coaster.

This dream-like area is south of Diamond City, and it is hard to miss. With massive ramparts and towers covered in overgrown turrets, it doesn’t look like it belongs, but the craftsmanship is too superb to ignore. This wonderfully creative and unique location can be fully explored, and we suggest you give it a shot.

World to Come

Author: Neeher
Download Size: 973.35 KB
DLC Required: None

Fight the ultimate beast on the PS4 in “World to Come” a mini-quest mod challenging any Sole Survival to beat Gojira, a huge (and fast) legendary Death Claw. And we’re not talking normal huge here, this thing is six times the size of a regular Death Claw. It’s well over two-stories tall, and the health bar is equally impressive. Defeating it will earn you a brand new Perk.

To start the quest, find a man between Quincy Quarries and Hyde Park in the Commonwealth. He’ll point you in the right direction. Just remember to go prepared.

Those are our picks for mods worth checking out in Fallout 4 (on the PS4) — is there a mod you think we missed? Let us know in the comments!

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.

Choose your own perks mod fallout 4 ps4 gameplay

12. Companion Infinite Ammo

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.

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.

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.

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.
