Fallout 4 is a true classic among fans of the Fallout franchise. While it may have some faults, most will agree that the game has led to some of the most impressive gameplay in the series thus far, and the modding communities of the world have only added to this experience. Here are five essential mods for Fallout 4 that drastically improve the sense of enjoyment while playing the game.

1. Full Dialogue Interface

There’s no doubt that Full Dialogue Interface, by Cirosan, is already one of the most popular mods among Fallout 4 players. The mod takes the very vague dialogue options from the base game and replace the options with the full lines spoken by the player character. In previous titles, the player character did not speak audibly, and dialogue was achieved with selections from a list. This mod goes back to this style of gameplay, and actually allows you to see what your character is going to say. There’s few things worse than saying something you didn’t want to say, and this mod offers a handy fix.

2. Lasers Have No Recoil

Lasers Have No Recoil, by SephDragoon, fixes a scientific inaccuracy from the Fallout franchise- Lasers simply have no recoil. Conventional firearms do because of the nature of their ammunition, where an explosion propels a projectile. Newton’s Third Law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. When the bullet is fired, the same force that fired the bullet pushes back into your body. However, lasers propel no projectile- the harmful part of the laser is the energy being emitted at the target. Instead, lasers expel excess energy as heat. A video by Shoddycast, which is actually the inspiration for this enjoyment-enhancing mod, explains the principles better.

Science aside, this mod helps the feel of energy weapons in the game, and makes them a much more appealing option over firearms.

3. Pre War Safes

This simple tweak, by Amstrad, makes one simple change to the game. Pre-war safes no longer contain pipe weapons! It was always strange to come across a safe that had been locked for over two hundred years and find a homemade pistol or rifle inside. If there’s no nuclear war, why make your own gun? This mod replaces instances of pipe weapons in safes marked as “pre-war” by Fallout 4 with actual timeline-appropriate weapons. Safes used by actual wasteland residents, however, can still spawn with these weapons.

4. Craftable Armor Size

Dislaimer: Craftable Armor Size, by John Doe Bowler, will NOT re-grow your character’s hair, nor alter their facial hair. What it does do, however, is allow the player to craft the varying armor sizes found in the game. Armor and weapon modifications are an important part of Fallout 4, and as the player’s level increases, upgraded versions of armor pieces can be looted. This mod brings these upgrades to the crafting mechanics, and can help augment the player’s armor-crafting capabilities.

5. Legacy SPECIAL

While there are many mods out there that modify the SPECIAL stats the player character has, this mod is a good choice for those players that are loyal to earlier versions of the game. Fallout 4 only gives the player 28 SPECIAL points to distribute, where previous titles offered 40. This mod brings the total once more to 40, and can be edited to the player’s liking.

Make sure to comment on what mods you think are most essential to playing Fallout 4!

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
