How to install mods for Fallout 4 on PC

The Bethesda Fallout 4 is not quite the advancement that everyone was hoping for. Of course, it's a great game, but we wanted a new engine and everything that goes with it. Yet just like Skyrim, Fallout 4 uses the build engine and it supports 64-bit, which makes it perfect for modding. And as the tools are similar in more ways than one, it did not take long for the talented community to post addons on Mod Nexus.

Here's a quick guide to starting installing Fallout 4 mods on PC. We will use the Nexus Mod Manager, which is universally recommended to keep things organized and facilitate the installation of larger packages.

Nexus is a platform dedicated to modders to publish and update their mods for various titles, including Fallout 4. In addition to publishing content, Nexus also allows for discussion, feedback, support and more. The website is pretty easy to navigate with most properly ranked mods for convenient filtering.
