If your PC is straining and a wobbly FPS is giving you a headache, these textures might be a big help. It takes the original Fallout 4 textures and replaces them with compressed and resized versions.

You will feel depressed, and maybe you’ll even start questioning why you’re fighting your way through this miserable world (it’s for your terrible son), but that’s all part of the post-apocalyptic experience.The Texture Optimization Project is more of a performance mod than a graphics overhaul. By draining the world of its vibrancy, the Commonwealth starts to look a lot like STALKER’s Zone.

If you find the Commonwealth a bit too gloomy, then this might be exactly the panacea you’re looking for, significantly livening up the world with more vibrant colours and lighting.If the thought of pretty colours makes you violently retch, and even the default appearance is too chipper for you, then Stalker Lightning might be more up your street. It also allows us to explore pre-war European history, and the effects the Resource Wars had on the class structured society of pre-war Britain.GraphicsThere are loads of ENBs and Reshade mods out there that can dramatically alter Fallout’s appearance through post-processing wizardry, but I’m rather partial to the Enhanced Wasteland Preset, which has been around forever. As the devs say, “visiting a totally new setting allows for us to explore totally new cultures which have not homogenized with their American counterparts. The world’ll be populated by the sorts of grim, satirical factions you’d expect from Fallout, right down to a group of folks who dress up in medieval armour and swing swords around.īut as for series staples like the Vaults, you should only expect to see them in much different forms – Vault-Tec is an American company, so they wouldn’t have a place in London.

The modders behind Fallout: London have just released an extremely impressive trailer for the project, which promises a “DLC-sized” addition to Fallout 4 that explores a region rarely touched in the series’ lore.įallout: London features a “condensed version” of the titular city that the devs say is similar in size to the vanilla Commonwealth map.

It’s time to take a look at yet another mega-ambitious mod for a Bethesda game and dream of the possibilities.
