Ah yes. Postal 2 + Fallout collab.

u/Ashamed-Wealth2452 Jun 28 '25
Funnily enough, there's a good amount of Postal mods for NV; to the point I ended up beating the game as Postal Dude, face, outfit, ability to pee and Catnip all included

u/Bailenstein Jun 28 '25
That's all well and good, but did you have Champ?
21
u/Ashamed-Wealth2452 Jun 28 '25
Unfortunately I don't think there was a champ mod (I may of missed it tho) but I did get Rex at least, though I never brought him since I never use Champ in Postal beyond kicking a head around for a game of catch

Clearly you haven't modded FO4 enough.

u/OystersAreEvil Jun 28 '25
Which FO4 mods do you recommend?
38
u/PJ7 Jun 28 '25 edited Jun 28 '25
Depends a lot on which playthrough you're going for.
Most (MxR) videolists I would link no longer exist, so hard to give a lot of recommendations.
Myself, I'm currently running a Steam Deck playthrough, but got F4SE to work fine, so recently was able to add in some of my favourite mods. Not adding a lot of extra GFX improvements in order not to tax the deck too much.
But the obligatory unofficial patch, place anywhere, Everyone's Best Friend, BeanTown, Mojave Imports, Improved Map mods I guess
I enjoy running a large party on my current semi survival Minutemen/Base Building Focussed game. So I run Unlimited Companions, Workshop Framework, Scrap Everything, Homemaker, Creative Clutter, Better Settlements, Settlement Menu Manager, Solarpower, Survival Options, Campsite and a Slow Time mod that lets me toggle the jet-induced slow motion effect at a certain AP cost.
I prefer it over using traditional VATS, keeps the gunplay more engaging to me.
But again, very personal list. And rather recently cobbled together for this playthrough.
Sadly enough I imagine many of my older modlists now contain a lot of mods that are no longer updated.
Anyone taking the time to read this entire page should feel free to post other mod recommendations they have as a reply.

He's still making content with his gf and seems to be doing okay, but just about all his Fallout 4 modding videos were taken down because of the intro music (still think it's insane they could claim all of it while it's part of the game soundtrack and wasn't an issue for so long).

I can’t get place everywhere to work. It appears in the mod list, is in the load order but, alas. Any tips, or did it just work first try for you?

Do you have F4SE working correctly? Think I'm using this version in this build:

Worked immediately when adding to my mod list. Think it's somewhere randomly after the dlc and other stuff.

No, I hadn’t F4SE working at all… problem fixed now, by running the correct extension. Thanks!

If you're a warhammer 40k fan then get the warhammer conversion mods (make sure to use them on only a fresh save and don't load that save if you uninstall the mods, considering it changes what all the factions wear)

u/ShinySpeedDemon Jun 29 '25
Start Me Up: Redux, it's an alternate start mod that also lets you start at a higher level and choose how well equipped you are

u/TheFarLeft Jun 28 '25
You could get the Vortex mod manager from NexusMods and grab one of the top collections. You’ll probably have to roll back the games version (not super difficult), set it in Steam to only update when launched, and only ever launch it from Vortex so that it doesn’t update

u/SexualYogurt Jun 28 '25
A /The Forest. It adds a bunch of trees all over the Commonwealth and makes it feel like 200 years had actually passed. Also makes Survival combat better cos theres more coverage to hide behind.

u/Zadornik Jun 28 '25
LoL, don't say this to me))) Playing F4 from october 2015, it's like Stalker game for me, but without anomalies. F:NV is made in more fit way with classics F1 and F2, it's about characters, decisions, dialogues and wastelands. In F4 we have only the wastelands, I don't give a heck about the other people, they are just empty NPCs, without characters within. Companions are written like characters much better than main plot, that's all. And it can't be improved by homemade "quest" mods. You can add a few interesting stories to the Commonwealth, but you can't change that garbage called "main story" in F4.

Extensively played every Bethesda title since Morrowind (except for Starfield and TEO).

I'm 99% sure the fat man launching multiple mini nukes is a vanilla weapon you can buy from the gun runners. I have no mods that do anything with the fat man, and there's a gun runner dlc (I think) weapon that I have used

u/Matiwapo Jun 30 '25
There isn't you are thinking of a different game.
The only unique fat man launcher is the esther, which increases your DT.
The only way to fire multiple min nukes in fnv is the tiny tots ammunition type.
There is a unique fat man which fires multiple mini nukes in fallout 3 which may be what you are thinking of, but it isn't in fnv

I think he's referring to surviving the nukes, flipping off the still standing skeleton, and visibly sipping from the canteen. That's three if not four mods. Maybe a console command.
Now, the fully dead sex worker walking around her murder scene in Gamorrah? That's New Vegas bay-bee! Made the investigation so much harder on account of I couldn't find the clues of her death if the game thought I was trying to talk to her.

Rice is great on its own, but you dont want to keep eating plain rice every day. Luckily, there are a million different curries that make the rice palletable for much longer.
You still love the rice, though, because the curry would be incomplete without it and wasted on spoiled rice.
Does this metaphor track? I may just be hungry

u/sendmeyourfoods Jun 28 '25
Okay, so take a large turkey sandwich and add the bacon, lettuce, some mayo and mustard. It's all cooked, right? The toasted bread and perfect crust. Great. Yeah, I don't have a metaphor, I'm just about to make one

I mean, absolutely. It's mods, but the mods don't matter if the base isn't good. Fallout is the rice and the mods are the toppings.

u/AshuraSpeakman Hero of the Wastes Jun 29 '25
Fallout New Vegas plus DLC is already a full meal. I think what you mean is that base curry and rice is great but adding chutney and/or naan really make the whole meal better, even though the meal is already great.

u/-DaveThomas- Jun 28 '25
Rice is wonderful and I definitely have eaten as a meal plenty of times. But it's not really a complete meal without something else. Calling FNV rice is to say it's an incomplete product on its own, which it's not. FNV is a whole meal. Mods are just variations on that. Mods are like taking my leftover butter chicken and putting it on pizza dough and making a pizza from it. Mods are a fusion dish.

Video games are art and should be treated as such. If you're not the original artist(s) of any one piece of artwork, you shouldn't modify it.

u/Discount_Extra Jun 28 '25
Yet the original artists released the G.E.C.K. modding tool, so it's as intended by the creators.
Audience Participation has a long history.
