If you're looking to change your gameplay experience with the best Fallout 4 mods available on Xbox One, PS4, and PC then you've come to the right place, as we love a good mod. There are plenty of ways to customise the post-apocalyptic world to better suit your needs, so if you want to build improbably big settlements, have Dogmeat by your side along with a regular companion, or just make the wasteland look a bit less like.. waste, then these mods are the perfect excuse to delve back in to Fallout 4.
The best news is that as well as being available on PC, almost all of these Fallout 4 mods can also be added to the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game, meaning console players can get involved and are no longer excluded from the customisation party. There's good reasons why Fallout 4 is one of the best RPG games around, but let's make it even better. For Xbox One and PS4 we've provided links to the Bethesda mods website, and for PC you'll be sent to NexusMods. Happy modding!
SimpleSeasons
Despite the bursts of colour occasionally seen in Fallout 4, you can't deny that eventually you'll get fed up with the dreary yellows and browns of the wasteland. SimpleSeasons changes all that by turning the apocalyptic world into a feast for the eyes (but not the senses, which anyone with hayfever will be happy to hear). These four mods - you don't have to download them all if you don't want to, by the way - will either blanket the wasteland in snow, have lush greenery springing up, turn everything into a haze of oranges and yellows, or create verdant trees that are just beginning to turn yellow. Now if only there was a photo mode to capture all that beauty..
Everyone's Best Friend (Dogmeat + Companion At Same Time)
Dogmeat is a peculiar companion. There's no denying that He's A Very Good Boy, Yes He Is, but a number of companion perks don't affect to him: Live and Love doesn't apply to the doggo, and he doesn't disable Lone Wanderer perk benefits. This mod allows you to have Dogmeat and another companion simultaneously. Safety in numbers, right? Because you can't use external assets on the PS4, this mod isn't available for anyone with Sony's console. Bad Sony.
Stronger Dogmeat
Vanilla Fallout 4 has Dogmeat doing 1-2dps when he attacks the various nuisances corrupting the wasteland. As anyone with a fondness for the loyal companion will know, that doesn't really seem fair. In case you haven't guessed it yet, Stronger Dogmeat increases his damage to 58dps, making this canine deadly enough to send any raiders fleeing with their tails between their legs.
Any Mod Any Weapon
Forget the weapon crafting limitations of the base game, the Any Mod Any Weapon mod lets your imagination run wild when you're at the workbench. Ever want to shoot cannon balls out of a hand-held revolver, create an electrified mini gun, or shove a Deathclaw's claw onto a boxing glove? All possible with this mod.
OCDecorator
Finally, you can do what your mother always told you to and pick up after yourself. The OCDecorator mod enables you to place any object on any other object, so placing weapons and armor on shelves or office fans on desks is no longer a pain in the ass. Now you can have everything in your settlement neatly organized, locked in place, and perfectly displayed instead of having everything getting knocked over by NPCs and ending up in a pile on the floor.
Place Anywhere/Everywhere
Fallout 4's vanilla settlement editor isn't the best. Walls don't always line up, you get items and furniture that just can't be placed where you want, and you end up with some unsightly gaps in your decorative structures (and even worse, defenses). The Place Anywhere/Everywhere mod allows you to clip into other objects so you can fit everything together neatly. No more gaps, no more mess.
No Build Limit
Of course, even if you use the previous two mods to stack objects on top of each other and clip them into otherwise unobtainable places, you'll still eventually run up against the Build Limit for your settlement and have to curb your design plans. Unless you install this mod, that is, as it removes the Build Limit for all settlements - use with caution though, as those limits are there for a reason and you could slow down or crash your game if you go too far.
Legendary Modifications
If you're looking for your weapons to pack a bit more punch, you might want to check out the Legendary Modifications mod. This mod adds a new modification slot to your weapon and armor crafting options, allowing you to include one legendary weapon or armor attribute to your item in exchange for a significant amount of materials. You can choose from a list of every attribute available in the game, giving you everything you need to make an unstoppable wasteland explorer.
Craftable Ammo
The Craftable Ammo mod adds even more crafting to the expansive build-fest that is Fallout 4, but we have no problem with that. The mod includes a new crafting table called the Reloading Workbench, allowing you to take materials and fill your ammo stores with plenty of bullets and bombs. No need to wander the radioactive wilderness looting bodies and checking drawers for forgotten ammo. Just get crafting and make it all yourself.
Infinite ammo for your companion
The trouble with giving your companion a weapon other than their default choice is that they love to burn through your ammo. The Infinite ammo mod solves that problem. As long as your companion has one round of ammo for their respective weapon in their inventory, they can fire forever - except the Fat Man mini nuke launcher, because, well, that could create a disastrous situation.
Armorsmith Extended
If you're a bit of a fashionista in Fallout 4, you're going to want to download the Armorsmith Extended mod, which adds a new Armorsmith crafting table that allows you to make clothes and armor, lets you wear gas masks and bandanas under more hats, and lets you upgrade every piece of clothing and armor. Really, it just makes every piece of clothing and armor more valuable, which is definitely a good thing. Unfortunately it's not on PS4, but Unified Clothing Overhaul is a super replacement - you just have to make sure Armor and Weapon Keywords Community Resource is installed first.
Settlement Supplies Expanded
The standard Fallout 4 set of structures, furniture, and objects you can build and place into your settlement is pretty limited, but when you add Settlement Supplies Expanded, there is a much larger selection. With the mod installed, you'll find hundreds of new objects to add into your virtual home. The new items include everything from vault doors and barbed wire concrete walls to trees and even aircraft.
Full Dialogue Interface
When conversing with other characters in Fallout 4, sometimes your character can just say the darndest things. Using the default paraphrased dialogue options doesn't always clearly convey how your character will respond with that choice. With the Full Dialogue Interface mod, you take out all of that guesswork. The entire response is written out on the dialogue option, which might help your conversations go the way you intend them to. Because Sony don't let their modders use external assets (thanks, Sony), this mod isn't going to appear on PS4 for the foreseeable future. Damn.
Lowered Weapons
This is more of a personal preference, but it always bothers me when my character is always pointing his or her gun forward. Lowered Weapons makes your character's weapon handling a bit safer for those around them. Whenever the weapon isn't being aimed or fired, the firearm is lowered to a less aggressive position. It's all about gun safety, people. If you aren't careful, you'll put someone's eye out. As is the case with the Full Dialogue Interface, Lowered Weapons uses external assets so can't be ported to PS4. Yeah, I'm disappointed too.
Better Graphics And Weather
If you're fed up with seeing the same views as you explore the post-apocalyptic wasteland, then this mod can help you with a change of scenery. With subtle adjustments to the weather and lighting effects, your outlook on the world can be updated and refreshed.

It’s been just over a week since Bethesda released the magnificent Fallout 4, which naturally means we’ve already seen a whole slew of modifications released for the game. But the question on many people’s lips is, of course, where are all the nude mods – and how can I get my hands on them?
Well, for the benefit of those who think the Wasteland would benefit from a little nudity, here are nine of the best Fallout 4 mods available right now and where to find them. Suffice to say, many aren’t suitable for work, but I’ve helpfully edited out all the pink bits from the article’s images, like some kind of power-crazed Instagram moderator.
If you’d like to check out some more nude mods for other games, I wholeheartedly recommend having a peek at The 10 best NSFW mods ever made and, for Skyrim fans, All the best NSFW Skyrim mods and where to get them.
Immersive Attire Fix mod
We start out with the only mod that is (fairly) suitable for work, although that may depend on what baseball team your boss supports. The immersive attire mod fixes Bethesda’s glaring omission of Red Sox-emblazoned underwear within in the game; it is Boston, after all.
As well as undergarments featuring the local baseball team, the mod creators also lets player characters (both male and female) adorn some fancy underwear, rather than the grubby panties and bras the base game offers up. These include Vault 111 standard issue panties and bra, some magic rainbow unicorn underwear for the men, and a variety of camo designs.
You can download the immersive attire fix here.
Fallout 4 full nude mod
It’s at this point where we quickly move from softcore to hardcore with the Fallout 4 full nude mod. Basically, this is a texture mod that strips the female characters in the game down to their birthday suits when players remove all their clothing/armor.
The mod’s very biologically accurate, and the fact that the woman are walking around butt-naked while still sporting their pip boys adds an extra layer of humor/depravity.
You can download the Fallout 4 nude mod here. In order to so, however, you have to sign up (for free) to the Nexusmods site.
Glorious female nude mod
Quite similar to the previous full nude mod, the fantastically titled Glorious female nude mod looks a lot more.. detailed.. Final fantasy 1 download pc game full. than its counterpart. Again, it replaces the game’s original ‘no clothes’ texture to let players see what women in the wasteland, including the raiders, look like without any attire.
Brilliantly (or horribly, depending on your point of view) it’s possible to download additional files with this mod that adds pubic hair to the ladies' nether regions. Who’s got time for landscaping when there are Deathclaws constantly trying to kill you?
You can download the Glorious female nude mod here. It’s over 18 only, obviously, so you’ll need to register first.
Transparent Bra mod
If you prefer your mods to be less full-on porn and little more TITillating *sigh*, then perhaps you should check out the Transparent Bra mod. As the name suggests, this simple modification turns all the Fallout 4 women's bras into the see-through variety.
It may only be a subtle change but, like most of these mods, using it will probably still make you feel slightly dirty.
You can download the Transparent Bra mod here.
Nude armor replacer mod
We finally reach a nude mod that adds a bit of variation to the ‘naked female’ format. The nude armor replacer cleverly turns the standard vault suit into a naked female body, meaning that when you equip armor over the top of the vault suit, the character still looks totally nude underneath.
The good thing about this mod is that you can add in-game modifications to the vault suit and keep all associated bonuses while still appearing naked. The creator says he may expand the mod to include other under-armor clothing, such as the Dirty Army Fatigues, at a later date.
It’s been pointed out that every female character in the game who is wearing the same modded under-armor will also appear naked, thus turning the Wasteland into the sexiest post-apocalyptic nightmare you ever did see.
You can download the nude armor replacer here.
The Fapboy mod
Not every sexy mod involves getting Fallout 4’s (female) characters naked. The amazingly titled ‘The Fapboy,’ for example, makes trying to decide what are the best armor combinations all the more difficult by adding some distracting images to the Pip-Boy’s background.
While not exactly pornographic, a couple of the pictures show enough flesh to warrant this being an 18+ only mod.
You can download The Fapboy here.
Fallout 4 Best Survival ModsAtom Boy Pinup Pip-Boy Wallpapers mod
Here we have another mod that alters the background of the Pip-Boy, except this one manages to keep the game’s '50s Americana theme. There are 18 images of bombshells from the '40s to '60s to pick from, and if you find this kind of thing distasteful then you’ll be happy to know that only one of the pictures could be considered mildly x-rated (the one above, naturally).
If you’re into burlesque, early-era pinups, or you prefer your mods to lean more toward ‘artistic’ nudity, rather than ‘seedy,’ then you should get the Atom Boy Pinup Pip-Boy Wallpapers here.
Topless Pink Victoria Secret Panties mod
Topless Pink Victoria Secret Panties is a bit of an amalgamation of a nude mod and a underwear-altering mod, which means it could basically be defined as topless modification. As the creator so eloquently puts it, not every mod needs to have women running around “with their snatch out.”
The whole things gets a touch of *cough* class added to it by letting users pick various Victoria Secret panties for the female characters, several of which are emblazoned with slogans such as Hard to get, I love you, Let’s party, Love and Naughty not nice. Because when a ghoul is eating your corpse, you don’t want to be caught wearing cheap underwear.
You can download the Topless Pink Victoria Secret Panties mod here.
Male nude Pipboy background mod
In the interest of fairness, and the fact that virtually every other mod involves women, we finish up with a Pip-Boy background mod that showcases the male genitalia. The image shows a man doing a pretty piss-poor job of hiding his junk. If that’s not graphic enough for you then there’s a second image of his back, sack and crack that’s so detailed you can see what he had for lunch.
You can download the Male Pipboy background here.
What does the future hold for Fallout 4 mods? More filth!
While there’s not exactly a lot of variation in the type of NSFW Fallout 4 mods available, it's worth remembering that the game’s not even been out a fortnight. There’s no doubt that over the coming months we’ll soon start to see an ever-increasing number of ways to bring sex, nudity, and ghoul-on-human lovemaking to the Wasteland.
Published Nov. 19th 2015
Everyone knows that Bethesda's games have a gazillion or so nude mods on the PC, from bizarro festish mods to full on hardcore sex scenes crafted through the Lovers Lab.
When mods finally came to console owners, the big question was.. how do Xbox One and PS4 players get in on the nude wasteland action? Obviously Bethesda, Sony, and Microsoft aren't super keen on that being the focus of console mods, so they aren't officially supported.
Most of the NSFW Xbox One Fallout 4 mods are very much in the PG-13 to soft R area, mostly just upping the scantily clad or sexy quotients. In the slides ahead we do list quite a few of those that just offer some eye-popping cleavage or a few extra inches of skin, as those slide just under the rules and are readily available to download.
That's not all that's available though. Yes, there are real, legitimate, actual fully nude Fallout 4 mods on the Xbox One, and and in the very next slide we show you how to find them!
The Real Deal: Nude Xbox One Fallout 4 Mods
Yep, they exist, and yep, you can download them. Here's the thing: you can't search for these ones through the mod list directly.
Posting up something obviously called a 'nude mod' in the Clothing or Texture category is a surefire way to get it taken down immediately.. but if you know where to look, they absolutely do exist -- and are even found directly on Bethesda's website.
Head to the Work In Progress folder here at Bethesda's Fallout 4 mods page and search through them manually for anything with no photo gallery and no description. If you see something with an odd name like Cool3!~ you can bet you're on the right track.
You'd best download those you find now, because its a good bet even these stealthy ones will get swatted down eventually. Here's the thing though.. at this point it appears that even if Bethesda yanks a mod from the site, the files themselves remain on your console unless you choose to delete them -- so you can keep deleted mods forever.
Unzipped Vault Suits
Sorry, no full nude stuff here (go back a slide!). Instead this one just takes existing outfits and makes them a little more alluring. The Unzipped mod lets you choose varying levels of just how much you want to reveal, all the way down to the belly button. I never thought of the Fallout vault uniforms as sexy before -- but thanks to some intrepid modders, I've learned that anything's possible.
Sexy Lingerie
You've got to laugh at any patch notes that include a phrase like 'Reduced pantie coverage, smoothed rib cab and butt texture.'
Forgoing the typical body replacers meant to expose as much skin as possible, this one throws characters across the Commonwealth into outfits straight out of a Victoria's Secret commercial. For those wondering.. yes, there's a male version to be downloaded as well, if that's your thing.
Blue Lace Underwear
This one's basically the sexy lingerie mod.. but with as little surface area as possible. We're almost in Watch Dogs 2 upskirt territory here. This particular mod affects all female characters everywhere (with a hilarious note from the modder about skipping ghouls, for obvious reasons), which makes Fallout 4 a very different experience.
EVB Standard Underwear
Hitting up the Clothing or Texture folders on the Bethesda mods site will reveal a horde of body and underwear replacers/enhancers. Scroll through and have fun, because there's something for everyone.
You'll note that this one seems to have a bit more of a focus on the male, um, 'package,' and tints the female underwear to the point that you almost don't even notice they are wearing any.
Enhanced Vanilla Body With Immersive Underwear
Another body enhancer that changes up the under garments, this is the mod if you need your undies to be more post-apocalyptically themed. Someone was clearly reading a whole lot of Grognak the Barbarian before deciding to become a fashion designer! Grab a sword and run across the wasteland yelling about the lamentation of your enemy's women in your best Ahhhhnold accent!
Strapless Underwear
There's a lot you can get away with in reducing the coverage of underwear before actually being nude, and mods like this push that envelope about as far as they can go. Adding a few more inches of skin, these mods take out the straps from bras and undies, and also lower them to the nipple level.
Shirtless Outfits
Somewhat similar to the unzipped vault uniforms mod, this one takes existing outfits but just culls out the shirts, so you can run around showing off cleavage without having to get rid of the rest of your clothes.
There are actually several different mods for each kind of outfit, and some that will replace everyone's textures wearing that outfit across the whole Commonwealth, while others only change the Sole Survivor's outfit if you craft it yourself.
Armored Underwear
There's a conundrum with your average scantily clad or fully nude mod -- yeah, you get to see lots of mostly or fully naked people.. but you also leave yourself vulnerable in combat to getting ganked by raiders and super mutants.
How to turn off ublock origin. That little issue is resolved with mods like Armored Underwear, which lets you craft your own damage-resistant undies in any of a variety of fun colors. Its like chainmail bikinis for the sci-fi crowd!
Busty EV Body Replacer
The equivalent of the 'sex appeal' slider from Saints Row IV, we cap off this list of NSFW Xbox One Fallout 4 mods with a body replacer that will increase female bust size till the buttons are practically popping off! It works with a quite a few other mods as well, so mix and match and see what crazy things happen.
So there you have it -- a handful of real Fallout 4 nude mods and a horde of skimpy outfits that skirt the line are all available for the console players!
What did you think of our picks, and did you get in on the real deal mods before they were deleted? There's even more sexy time to be had in the wasteland than what we listed here, though. If you can't get enough, be sure to also check out:
Published Aug. 16th 2017
On PC, Fallout 4 is an endless sea of possibility. Anything you can imagine, you can probably download as a customization and insert it into the game.
Quality of life improvements. Characters from movies, TV shows, and books. Ridiculous weapons that shouldn’t exist. Oh, and titties. Lots and lots of titties.

Massive NSFW warning!
Fallout 4’s burgeoning custom “mod” scene has a naughty side to it, as is tradition for Bethesda games released on the PC. It’s a cliché now, really. Here’s what came up when I searched for “Skyrim mod”—just those two words—on YouTube:
Advertisement
At the center of this all is a popular mod called ‘Caliente’s Beautiful Bodies Edition,’ a Skyrim modification that gives players more control over the customization of female characters. Created by a modder who (appropriately) goes by ‘Caliente,’ CBBE is a large part of the reason people associate “Skyrim modding” with naked vixens. CBBE characters spread through the internet with the speed of, well, naked pictures of attractive women. As of this writing, CBBE has been downloaded a whopping 8.2 million times.
Advertisement
I caught up with Caliente via email to ask about the vast, racy modding empire inspired by CBBE. A programmer with a love for digital art, CBBE was actually the first mod Caliente released to the public. Caliente made it from scratch, using 3D animation programs such as Blender.
“The popularity was a little unexpected,” Caliente said. “It feels really amazing to have so many people using and enjoying my work, and I like thinking that I’ve helped make the games a little more enjoyable for people. The fame is strange..and kind of fun sometimes..but since it’s relegated to an internet name, it’s sort of like having a secret identity.”
Advertisement
Caliente initially saw the Skyrim version of CBBE as a way to “fix” the character models.“The vanilla artwork [in Bethesda games] doesn’t appeal to me very much,” Caliente said. “I find the proportions to be fairly bulky, with wide shoulders and smaller hips to my taste.”
Advertisement
“At the same time, bodies come in a lot of different shapes, and people like different things, so I like to be able to provide a way for people to get the looks and variety they want, even if it doesn’t match what I would use myself,” Caliente said.
Caliente said that tweaking the character models was important to the modder because it helps with playing dress-up, something Caliente is passionate about. Caliente views bodies and clothes as a means of expression that “cool guns, powerful statistics, and buckets of gore” can’t account for.
Advertisement
“All of the outfits were bulky and formless and not much fun to put on,” the modder said. “One thing I love to do in games is to find interesting and pretty outfits for my character, so I wanted to make the default ones look better in my eyes. Starting from that basic idea, I decided to work on a body replacement, in order to have a prettier figure to fit the clothes to.”
Here’s a distinction that Caliente feels strongly about: CBBE is not a nudity tool necessarily, but rather a body modification mod. It just also happens to be used in a very specific way by some players. At the same time, you can’t blame anyone for immediately thinking about nudity, given how the mod is presented online:
Advertisement
Caliente says that the original hope was that, by making the mod public, other people would make more custom outfits for specialized Skyrim models. However, Caliente got wrapped up in making the tool as user-friendly as possible, allowing the mod to cater to whatever wants a player might have. It’s no wonder that it exploded in the way that it did.
Five years after the first version of CBBE, there’s a Fallout 4 version of the mod, too. Though it’s been out for less than a month, it’s already been downloaded more than 340,000 times, making it one of the most popular Fallout 4 mods around.
Advertisement
The mod has become so big that Caliente now enlists the help of two contributors, Jeir and Ousnius, to work on CBBE as well. Caliente estimates that they have spent much more time helping create mods for Fallout 4 than actually playing the game.
Advertisement
While working on this story, I naturally decided to take CBBE for a spin. Caliente’s base CBBE mod lets players pick between a few different presets for female characters: slim, curvy, and vanilla. Players also have control over the model’s lingerie (or lack of it). Using the mod, a character can go from looking like this standard Bethesda model…

To looking like this:

Fallout 4 Best Mods Pc
The basic version of the mod doesn’t offer many options, but things get much more detailed with Caliente’s “Body Slide and Outfit Studio,” a tool that can be used in conjunction to CBBE for custom characters. It’s not nearly as popular as the main CBBE mod—at current, Body Slide has been downloaded a mere 97,000 times—but it’s a tool that grants you ultimate control over your character. Every attribute you can think of (and many that you probably can’t) has a slider that manipulates a specific part of the body, like so:
Advertisement
Some of the options, like “butt size,” are straightforward. There are unusual options, as well—you can tweak armpit height, for example. Then you have sliders for “melons,” which is apparently different from “breast size” and “cleavage.” A few even left me wondering, like, what does “Fantasy” mean, exactly? What does it mean when I max out the “Fantasy” slider? I have no idea.
As you adjust the sliders, you watch your character take shape on the right side. It’s a curious experience. On the one hand, I know that Fallout 4 itself is not a particularly sexy game. Romance is relegated to passing a dice roll on your Charisma stat, and getting lucky simply means watching the game fade to a black screen. In theory, adding curvier, more traditionally sexy women to the game feels somewhat subversive. At the same time, adjusting all the sliders in Body Slide feels similar to filling out an application at the DMV.
Advertisement
Therein lies the brilliance of Caliente’s work, though: By making mods like CBBE and Body Slide, the modder has given curious players the tools they need to make mods of their own without having to do the heavy lifting. Whatever Caliente doesn’t include, other people are happy to create themselves, modding Caliente’s mod into a more modded mod.
I spoke to a modder named Fiddlestickz, for example, who created a CBBE mod that lets players grow pubic hair in a few different styles. Why not? One of the designs is actually based on an actual porn actress, Riley Reid. Most of them, though, are just manifestations of Fiddlestickz’s own ideals. Similarly, Caliente says the presets that CBBE comes bundled with are just figures that the modders and their collaborators like.
Advertisement
Many NSFW mods floating around the internet can serve as a window into the libido of the savviest RPG fans. It’s striking how many of these mods are billed in terms of creating THE dream girl: this one is the mod that’s sculpted the perfect woman, or that this one is the ultimate fantasy girl.
Advertisement
There’s a limit to the fantasy surrounding these mods, though. Some promise “lore-friendly” titillation, so they’ll provide, ultra-sexy characters caked in dust, grime, and displaying visible injuries. Hey, just because you’re an ultimate fantasy bombshell doesn’t mean you’re impervious to the hazards of the wasteland. Or something like that.
Advertisement
Several modders I spoke to cited the importance of alterations that don’t take the player out of the moment. Ubercharge, the creator of the body mod in the picture above, put it to me this way: “If you look how dirty/dusty/rough [the] environment of Fallout 4 [is], suddenly [CBBE bodies look out of place]. Perfect bodies will break you out of the immersion. There is no use for nice bodies if your brain doesn’t believe it’s real.” The Fallout 4 Nexus, which is the biggest modding hub for the game around, even has a lore-friendly search category.
Advertisement
Nudity mods have a certain reputation, and onlookers can be judgmental about that. The modders I spoke to know that, of course. All the same, Caliente emphasized how “friendly, helpful [and] smart” modders are. Caliente pointed out that people often don’t get paid for the tremendous amount of work they put into mods—Caliente has gotten some donations from fans, but some of the programs used to make the content are expensive, too. There’s no profit in it.
“[Nudity modders are] certainly not any more maladjusted or depraved than someone who spends days creating a mod that enhances the violence and gore of combat,” Caliente said. “The main difference being that the latter mod isn’t considered an adult mod.”
Advertisement
“I hate it when a person using CBBE (or other body mod) is accused of being perverted or misogynistic when their use is clearly not,” Caliente said. “And, there’s a longstanding, prevailing opinion that nudity is offensive, and there are trolls who like to put down anyone who makes or uses that kind of content.”
Another modder I spoke to, XunAmarox, is the creator of “CBBE Innies”—a mod that transforms vaginas in Fallout 4. You know how belly buttons can be innies or outies? Similar concept, except with labia. Helpfully, the mod page has a diagram that can show you the difference:
Advertisement
“I suppose you could say that [the mod is] based on someone very particular,” XunAmarox said. “Namely, me. Yep, I’ve got an innie pussy myself.” XunAmarox plays Fallout 4 with her own mod—but that doesn’t mean she runs around the game completely naked, either.
“I wear clothes, or armor,” XunAmarox said. “I play the game about like anyone else.” This is not an unusual answer among the modders I spoke to for this article; for lots of people, it’s the idea of the thing that matters. Kind of like when people treat themselves to nice lingerie in real life even if they’re not planning to throw down with anybody in particular.
Advertisement
“I think most people probably aren’t using nude mods for the same reasons that they use porn,” XunAmarox said. “I think a lot of people use them because the human body is beautiful—and I don’t even mean that in a sexual way. You typically have better detail with body and texture mods than you’d have otherwise, and it adds realism to games as well. After all, not every NPC out there is going to have the same exact pair of white lingerie.”
By now, you’ve probably noticed that there are far more nudity mods for women characters than for male characters. There’s actually a logistical reason for that, XunAmarox told me. Not only are female mods higher in demand, male nudity mods—which do exist—are harder to make. She explained that penises and balls require mesh editing and 3D modeling, which is a lot of effort for something that may not gain traction among the community.

When I asked Caliente about that, I was told me that female models in Bethesda games get the short end of the stick.

Best Mods For Fallout 4
“The quality of male artwork seems to be superior to that of the female ones, and in many cases it’s clear that the male art is done first then later re-purposed for the female versions,” Caliente said. “This leads to less motivation to improve what’s not broken.”
Caliente says that the CBBE mods don’t have an “intentional” focus on women. Rather, Caliente prefers to play as women in games, and the mod grew from wanting to improve the modder’s own experience.
Advertisement
“Given the time, I’d absolutely love to provide a similar mod for the male bodies too,” Caliente said. “For Skyrim, other modders got to it before I did, and it became less useful for me to enter the field with my own version.
“Fallout 4 doesn’t have an option yet, of course, so if I can get to it before someone else does, I’ll try to make one that people enjoy!”

Xbox One owners can now download mods for Fallout 4. There are 885 available already and the servers for the game’s creators at Bethesda seem to be struggling to keep up . The most mod for the game on Xbox One is a cheat menu that lets you add caps, stimpacks and more. That’s currently a little more popular than “Busty Enhanced Vanilla Body replacer.” There are cat mods and gun mods, too, of course.
To get the mods, you need to either go to the mod section on Bethesda.net or log into the game and check out the mod menu. You may run into error messages, since Bethesda seems to be getting hammered.
As long as the servers are working, you’ll be able to click on mods you’re interested in, read about them, download them and pick the order you want them to load. Bethesda will let you download up to 2GB worth of mods. That cheat menu one is just 117.3 KB. A mod called Re-Growth that changes the game’s foliage is 287.8MB.
Advertisement
The notes for Re-Growth hint at some of the limitations console owners are going to have with mods as they’re funneled through Bethesda’s website (emphasis added):
ReGrowth overhaul originated on PC, as most mods do. It’s a (fairly) popular flora mod, that originally aimed to “overgrow” the world. Unfortunately because of console limitation. the FULL version can’t be uploaded on Beth.net, however I was able to upload the “Flora” only version. This version of the mod will deliver mostly the same experience as the full version. For example, you’ll get the tree’s, flowers, grass, and other flora related textured, but you won’t get overgrown buildings, mossy roads, and vined walls. All in all, it’s the perfect balance for consoles. Both eyecandy, and functional.

That busty mod is the closest we’ve found to a nudity mod, which of course we looked for to see how permissive Bethesda was going to be. In an FAQ, the modder says:
Q: I haz nude mod?
A: No nude mods allowed. Be happy for mods on consoles at all.
We did find a mod that seems to let you kill kids, because that’s a thing, too. It’s usually justified as a desire to remove restrictions in order to enhance a game’s immersion, not some sicko fantasy to murder children.

There’s a mod to remove the borders in the Far Harbor DLC landmass. There’s one that gives you a gorilla companion. There’s one that lets you play as a ghoul.

We haven’t been able to test the mods on Xbox One, because our biggest Fallout-playing folks on staff don’t have the game on that console and/or aren’t near an Xbox One today, leaving me with a copy of the game on Microsoft’s console, no save file and no time to jump in and test (Bad timing meets division of labor: if there are any mods for the new Kirby game, I can check that!).
It doesn’t help that Bethesda.net has been struggling to keep with the demand. I had Fallout 4's mod menu loaded for all of 10 minutes and lost connection to the Bethesda server twice.

Hopefully the mods work. Cross fingers! It’s not clear how much testing the mods get and how well they’ll work with each other. Modder notes include suggestions about the order to load them for better performance.

If you use any, Achievements will be turned off. It’s only fair. Or something.
All these caveats and qualifications aside, it’s impressive to see even a fraction of the mods coming to a console game. It’s such a rare sight in the walled lands of non-PC gaming. It’s also exciting, because, if this works and if interesting enough mods can make it through Bethesda’s site, these mods are going to add a lot of life to the console versions of Fallout 4.

Mod support for the PS4 version of Fallout 4 is slated for June. Many of the mods we checked already include indications that they’ll be released for Sony’s platform as well.
Here’s a waterfall of shots of more Xbox One Fallout 4 mods, captured from the console today as I scrolled through what is already available. Endless possibilities!
