Modlist

Mods installation

Mods in each section should be installed in the order they appear, as this is the order they'll overwrite each other if need be.

Mods are presented as a "card", providing information about everything you need to know about the mod, from download link to mod-specific installation instructions.

Each card is preceded by a flare:

CORE
This mod is a full part of the guide and is expected to be installed.
TOOL
This isn't a mod, but a modding utility to be used during your modding adventure.
Performance
This mod improve game's performance, but might slightly decrease visual quality.
Optional
This mod is optional. This is an addition considered useful to the setup, but might be more of a personal preference.
HQ
This mod is to be used only for users looking for a High-Quality visual experience. This doesn't necessarily mean it should be avoided at all cost by low-end system users, but simply that the performance hit might not be worth the visuals improvements on weaker machines.
NSFW
This mod contains Not safe For Work content.

There is no

LQ

flare for main downloads. Obviously, a mod deserving such flare would just be downgrading Vanilla's visuals.

Options and Alternatives

Listed mods may also have potentials alternatives and options, aside the main files to download.

When there is Optional files listed, this means you have to install them along with the proposed files if you want them.
On the contrary, Alternatives files are meant to replace the files from the main download entirely.

Options and alternative usually have flares as well, indicating why they're proposed to complement/replace the main files :

Optional
This is a nice feature, but falls under personal preference.
HQ
This is an higher visuals version of the
CORE
one, worth installing on decent machines.
LQ
This is a lower visuals version of the
CORE
one, in case the main file is too performance-heavy for low-end machines.
SAFE
There is a safe for work version available, to prevent sexual or not-so-politically-correct content.
easy
This version will make gameplay easier.
survival
This version will make gameplay harder.

MODWiki CORE

The following section is a mod load order for Overhauling Fallout 4.

I've decided after the feedback in the forums to Split the Mod installation so the "MODWiki CORE" does not receive many, Alterations or changes. It will be be focused On "Enhancing" the vanilla experience.

As you are installing the CORE set of mods, at the end of each section there will be optional a PLUGINS link (If Available). These aditional mods are fully compatible with the MODWiki CORE and you can choose 1 pack (At this time) from each section to add extra features. The patches for these PLUGINS just get added to the bottom of the load order.
