Fallout 4 has had its mods arrive on consoles for every player on the console to enjoy and take pleasure in all the mods available to them. If you are unfamiliar with load orders and account linking, adding mods in Fallout 4 will be a hard nut to crack for you. This is a guide on how to install and embed mods for Fallout 4 in consoles (PlayStation 4 and Xbox One).
How to Install Mods on Fallout 4 on Consoles
You can access the mods section by clicking on the “MODS” button in the main menu. The process of installing mods on consoles is identical, but installing mods on consoles can sometimes not turn what you would expect, or they might as well end up crashing your system.
Therefore, when in the Mods tab, you will see all the mods available on your platform, the ones you own and the ones you can download and install to play on. You can, in this section, explore a massive number of mods.
To get started with mods, you need a Bethesda.net account. Visit the Bethesda.net website to create an account. After signing up, verify your account via email.
Once you have your account, launch Fallout 4 on your console. On the main menu, select the “Mods” option. You’ll be prompted to log in with your Bethesda.net account details. Logging in will link your game to your Bethesda.net account, allowing you to access and manage mods.
After logging in, you’ll have access to the mod library. Browse through the available mods by category or use the search function to find specific mods. When you find a mod you like, click on it to view its details and then select “Add to Library” to save it to your account. Remember, the storage cap for mods is 1GB on PS4 and 2GB on Xbox One.
With mods added to your library, you can download them directly from the in-game mod menu. Select the mods you want to install and click “Download.” Once downloaded, go to the “My Library” section to enable the mods you want to use in your game. Enabling mods might require reloading your data files, which the game will prompt you to do.
Adjusting the Load Order
Some mods need to be loaded in a specific order to work correctly. Access the “Load Order” menu to rearrange the sequence in which your mods load. Generally, place essential or foundational mods at the top and dependent or less critical mods below them. Adjusting the load order helps prevent conflicts and ensures mods function as intended.
After enabling the mods and setting the load order, exit the mod menu. The game will prompt you to reload data files. For the best experience and to prevent any issues, create a new save file after enabling mods. This prevents any potential corruption of your existing save files.
How To Safely Uninstall Mods
