Fallout 4does a phenomenal job of allowing you to personalize your experience in the wastelands, but there’s always something more you want to do, right? Something the vanilla game doesn’t offer, but yet nothing that changes thingstoomuch. That’s why quality-of-life mods are such a joy to entertain in Fallout 4.

Which of Fallout 4’s companions are the best when you look at what they offer to the game’s story?

10Place Everywhere
No Building Limitations

Nothing feels worse than trying to create an epic settlement and only seeing red. With the Place Everywhere mod, most of the building restrictions in Fallout 4 will vanish. Let your imagination and creativity roam wild as the mod frees up most areas whether you want to build on land, in the sky or on the water.
This is the go-to mod for anyone who wants to flex just how vast their skills are, essentially turning this more into a building sim than anything else. There are still some limitations (if an object must be in dirt, then it has to be in dirt), but for the most part, it’s wide open.
9Mod Configuration Menu
Organization is Everything

Mods may be fun, but they can get complicated if you’re not careful or unfamiliar. That’s why you should consider installing the Mod Configuration Menu (MCM). It’s all about ease of use. With the MCM installed, you can manage and tweak other mods without any difficulty.

No More Guesswork

Every RPG needsgood charactersand Fallout 4 is no exception to that. But sometimes, talking to them is a chore seeing as you don’t know exactly what you’re going to say. But with this mod installed, you always knowexactlywhat you’re going to say. And not just that, but you’re given extra dialogue choices.
This mod will expand the typical four-choice options. It’s a great way to add more depth to your character and serves as a bonus alongside removing any paraphrasing.
7Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch
Time to Clean Up Some Bugs
The Unofficial Patch Project Team
What game doesn’t come with bugs? It’s expected at this point, but even if the devs released patches, they can’t get every little thing. That’s why you should use the Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch mod. There’s not a single downside found here.
For one thing, it’s compatible with several other mods. Next, it addresses changes large and small from text bugs to gameplay issues. If you’re thinking about modding the game, this is one of the best places to start.
6Scrap Everything
Get Rid of it All

So, you’re looking at your settlement, and something just doesn’t feel right. Ever get that overwhelming urge to justdelete everything? Well, you can with the Scrap Everything mod. Fallout 4 is picky about what you get to scrap. But now, you can scrap anything you want.
Don’t want all that garbage lying around? Scrap it. Want to start your settlement on a completely cleared-off land from head to toe? Scrap everything and get to building on a clean slate.
5Everyone’s Best Friend
Bring Dogmeat Everywhere
It was love at first sight with Dogmeat, so why would I ever want to send him away? He’s such a good boy. So, instead of choosing between him and a companion, go for the Everyone’s Best Friend mod and get the best of both worlds.
Now Dogmeat will accompany you no matter what other companion you choose. It’s perhaps one of the best quality-of-life mods for Fallout 4 that feels like it should have been naturally implemented in the game already.
4Immersive HUD
See What You Want to See
The HUD, although useful, can shatter immersion. But when you have the Immersive HUD mod, you can see the game however you’d like. Configure your settings to have the HUD appear when you need it and disappear when you don’t.
You can pick and choose what elements show and when as well. For instance, deciding if the crosshair dot will appear via toggle, during aiming, etc. It’s yet another simple mod that greatly improves the overall look of your gameplay.
3Improved Map with Visible Roads
You’ll Never Get Lost with this Map
The map in Fallout 4 leaves much to be desired. You have to squint sometimes to know where you’re going. Thankfully, the Improved Map mod adds much-needed brightness (which you can adjust) and details. Now, there’s no chance you’ll ever get lost.
Everything from the roads to the train tracks are highlighted so that you can’t miss them. Map markers are better placed too to suit where the point in question actually is.
2Longer Power Lines
The Power Comes from Everywhere
No one can deny just how freeing it is to build your own settlement, but it isn’t without complications. Power is a major obstacle, mainly because the vanilla power lines don’t stretch far at all. Setting them up so close can give your settlement an awkward appearance. That’s why this mod is such a lifesaver.
It lengthens the power lines, giving you more freedom in how you construct your settlement. No longer will you feel that flash of annoyance when a generator isn’t sitting right for a power line to reach it.
1Start Me Up
Change Your Destiny
TinyManticore
Let’s be real: sometimes the start of Fallout 4 can drag, especially if you’ve already played through it once or twice. Just our luck that there’s the Start Me Up mod with different start options. You can kick off the game by waking up in the Vault, skipping the pre-war scenes to move directly into the story.
Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, you’re able to change your character entirely. Don’t want to be a parent? This mod has an option to disable being Shaun’s surviving parent. You can just be another Vault dweller or someone out in the wastelands. The choice (and story) is yours to make.
