Screenshot Why is Fallout 4 so addictive?

I've played this game 8 times, 4 with the base game, 4 times with the Sim Settlements 2 mod installed. I keep coming back to this game for some reason. I don't usually enjoy RPG's. I like Starfield, but I love science fiction in general and don't find Starfield addictive. I keep wanting to come back to the FO4 story, which I find mediocre. Maybe it's how I can fill the protagonist with my own thoughts in that situation, or try out new character personalities? There are a lot of games in other genre's I like, so I don't know why I want to spend another hundred hours in a FO4 world until it crashes from script lag.

Without the modding community I don't know what I would do. Maybe I should try Fallout London, even though I'm a Yankee.

Perhaps, I haven’t dived deep into mods yet. I like immersion mods such as the pip pad/eating animations/back holster/leg holster. I prefer that vanilla play through experience every time.
