you have been making videos for years and you STILL don't use chapters?
He’s been making videos for years and you have criticism before appreciation. Cuz there’s so much good fallout mod content out there on RUclips.. okay guy
@@justjulianmusic not having chapters is a valid criticism my g.
@@CorviustheCollector not having fallout content in general would be much worse. Not saying it isn’t valid it’s just why. Make the list yourself then
If it ain't broke don't fix it
At least he has the mods in the description so you don't have to scrub through the vid to see every mod.

Thank you for doing what Juice will not.
Is it for the ps4/5?
Was just about to say I wished there were chapters... thanks for this.
he use to its weird he didnt @@Moefongoh
Have these mods been taken down ? I’m on pc
Kinda disappointed that the attachment pack didn't make the list, that mod was two years in the making and completely overhauls the vanilla arsenal by just giving us more attachments to play around with
Coming into the comments to complain when your mod didn't make it onto someone's personal top 10 is pretty pathetic.
@@sethfreakinrollins5229 it’s a really good mod though
@@sethfreakinrollins5229 huh? complain? Naw I'm just kinda disappointed since our team spent so much time on it, idk why you're being so spiteful towards me tbh, kinda toxic idk.
Same, Kinda Disappointed it didn't make the video. Rarely do you see such a dedicated team. Like off the top of my head The Sim Settlments Team and Elianora and a few other modding teams are some of the few teams that actually listen to feedback and take requests. Truly a mod for the community. The Attachment Mod truly elevates Fallout 4. Not only does it add more depth to weapons but it feels like a part of the game we were always missing. Like why do I need to download a wacky weapons mod just to add a 10mm scope to my Tommy Gun and why is there only a drum mag.
I appreciate and support this amazing and inspiring development team.
And Unlock mods like WARS this mod works out the box. I had so many problems with Peace and Wars when I installed them (On a clean reinstalled Fallout 4). I feel like JuiceHead tends to just read descriptions and not actually look into all the bug issues and how uncaring some of these modders are.
@@Pigness7 I personally am loving the attachment pack and you guys are doing a amazing job, most of my preference for mods is vanilla plus and your guy’s mod really achieves that. Also it a big request but I hope you guys might consider melee weapons in the future
recently got a PC without fallout 4, going through most of your stuff to get some mods
I highly recommend Galac Tac both the main story and the Mercs and Music addition especially if your a star wars fan. Pair it with the lightsaber mod, add in a few blasters, grab the laser FX mods that make em sound and shoot like sw. And it feels and looks amazing. Also get the Desperado Overhaul to make it a desert and it feels like tatooine.
@@machylbunnell968How does Galac-Tac work with Desperados Overhaul by the way? Was nervous of investing a playthrough into both together in case they didn't play well together.
@@gothic_mando8851 it worked better for me honestly. Since it takes away most of the trees. Just make sure to have a proper LOD because the f.o.b is on the edge of the glowing sea and Desperado turns that into a forest. I used vortex and that really helped make the load order stable.
@@gothic_mando8851if you have a decent pc with like at least a rx 7700 xt then you can watch the video how to turn fallout 4 into a Desert by yourboybrandyboy.
Just like a said you might want at least a decent pc if you want to actually play the game lol, like at least 32gb of ram
@@gothic_mando8851I would also install, far away area Reform, and Boston fps fix
Hey @JuceHead: I have a content suggestion: Modlists/modpacks. You are introducing a lot of different mods all the time. What I would like to see from you is (e.g. at once a year) updated modlists. You could make for every modlist a single video in which you talk about the most important mods and what is the purpose (e.g. a survival one, a sim settlements one, etc.)
@stanger427 A youtuber called Pancuronium does awesome category based mod battles that rank each and he tells you what others to avoid (i.e.: Don't use this mod if you wear power armour a lot as it has the double footsteps bug, or which weapon mods to definitely NOT use with Tactical Reload (most of them) and which have patches.
This makes me want to give a try at modding fallout 4 again
Do it. It's awesome right now, and there's loads of stuff on the horizon
It’s really great and with the next update we will have 5 gb is space
@@HelmutZang When is the next update?
@@vassdossman we don’t have an official date yet, but it’s set for 2024. Some people speculate that it’s either going to be shortly before or after the first episode of the fallout tv series. So might be April or forward but in 2024 for sure. I’m really exited btw
@@HelmutZang same
The assault on the Brotherhood silo in America Rising 2 was the best large scale battle I ever experienced in FO4 ... it was amazing.
I also loved it; it felt like Call of Duty crossed with Fallout in a lore-friendly way.
@@humm_vee_wusky6273 agreed ... and it gave a whole new faction to side with in the main game.
My game crashed a couple of times at the Army Depot invasion from the BOS. Couldn't complain though, Vertibirds crashing left and right too
@@yeti4269 I crashed a few times too but I assumed it was cause I had like 100 mods installed. I assume I'll have to start from scratch when I try London.
@@JamesDatWorkYeah, since their levelled lists are different. Though the 12.7mm Smg brute-force it's way into the mod.
Juice got me into mods. Now I’m experiencing the first time of frustration after they updated Skyrim and I’m waiting on the gracious mod authors.
And now Fallout 4 update again. Thanks Bethesda
@@antifyme3511 Lol yep “NO FUN FOR YOU! MONEY!!!!” - Bethesda actual quote
Last time I played F4 was in 2015, vanilla, I didn't even finish it.
Now I'm downloading tens of files without knowing what to expect. Thanks!
Heh same
Whispering hills was my favourite mod of 2023. It genuinely feels like a silent hill game.
Which is bad for me.
I like Silent Hill (especially story and music), but its overall feel strongly clashes with Fallout's quirkiness and silly things.
I'd prefer George Romero' style at this point [which means a lot, because I can be considered a moderate purist. (Not in the sense of og fan, I like both iterations of the Fallout IP)]
I was fine with it until it incorporated the pitch black times like in silent hill. It's hard to do anything without using VATS, something I don't use when modding.
I really wanted to love The Fens Sheriff Department and I love MonkeySpunk's creations, but I found the characters so obnoxious that I not only uninstalled it in favor of the original Bleachers, I use the Bleachers holotape to skip it's quests because I just can't get past how vile the characters are.
couldnt agree more, i love high quality quest mods but playing through the fens sheriff department made me roll my eyes so many times and sigh from exhaustion of how stupid it was. It was like the personification of redditors in fallout 4. Out of all the quest/content expansion mods ive played, its my #1 most hated
@@king_duck4628 I give MonkeySpunk props for using Fallout 4 as a platform for interactive story telling and I LOVE the set decore. And even the broad strokes of the story were OK, but the dialogue and characters... Ugh. I didn't dislike Lily in The Bleachers, but I freaking hated her in FSD.
I love the institute guns in vanilla. Its a good supply of plastic I can use to make jet. Inturn, use to supply my drug empire
Bro 🤨
Every once in a while, I get the urge to play this game for sake of two thing: being a human F-16 with jetpack, bazooka and Sim Settlement 2.
America Rising 2 is legitimately awesome and I'd highly recommend it, especially for old school Fallout fans!
is Frank Horrigan in it?
@@byronvalencia1462 He's dead man, you got to let him go.
@@hurrdurrmurrgurr I refuse
Seeing as how the Sole Survivor (at least the male version, Howard) served in the US Armed forces AND just woke up after 200+ years, I love the idea of him latching onto the Enclave as something familiar in the Wasteland, and then finding out just how bad they are over time.
It's possible that Nora could have been a military lawyer for the judge-advocate general. It'd explain why she's so proficient with weapons, despite being ostensibly solely a housewife and mother.
@@philiphunn194If you break down the lore book, she is national guard and has unused dialogue about calling out peoples names as she's shooting ghouls… brutal.
@@AceOfBlackjack Really? Neat - makes you wonder why they didn’t include it (a lot of cut content in this game makes me wonder that as well).
@@philiphunn194 When clearing the national guard building she would call out certain names in different terms. You ever wandered why Nora sometimes says custom modded companions' names? Those are from the cut content.
Dang it, you are making me want to play this game again.
AR2 is the reason I came back to FO4 after years. Glad it's in.
Hey, I really appreciate WARS and PEACE making the list; thanks. 🙂 Seems like you get what I was going for with the mods.
Is it on console?
Nope
Since nobody else has said it thank you for the mods !
Is their any similar mods for the xbox? I'd love to have to manually bring 12.7mm smg magazines
How on earth do I find this mod on Fallout... I cannot figure it out @jlollback
can't believe im hunting for fallout 4 mods again this year
“Lore friendly creatures”
Shows a giraffe in Boston
Some great mods on here. Especially pleased to see America Rising 2 on the list. Great mod. 👍🏻
The fear is real with these mods breaking with the Fallout 4 upcoming updates though. 😢
My favourite mod has been pretty much abandoned since 2020 (the mod author had some personal issues during the Covid era, apparently), so if it breaks, it’ll be broken permanently 😭
@@philiphunn194what is it?
@@YesHumphreyAppleby Sanguinaire (one of the two biggest vampire mods, the other being Atomguard).
I tired to like the fens sheriff department i really did and I guess some people dont mind it but I quickly got sick of how every character in that mod makes a poimt of making your character feel like an idiot all the time plus lily is easily the most insufferable follower ive ever seen in a mod period.
Yeah, you're not alone. Hated every moment of that mod and had to stop halfway through. Just couldn't stand listening to Lily anymore.
Ï did not play F4 since 2019, but still keep up with mods thx to you. I would love to see like The ultimate mod list from you to Replay F4 in 2024. Just in this video was about 200hrs of new quest LUL. Give me the 100+ mod list man
It would be really cool if you made a Nexus mod collection using this list.
The Fens Sheriff's Department mod _looks_ absolutely incredible, but unfortunately the writing is nonsensical dogshit. It reduces the player to the sidekick of an insufferably annoying, unfunny, cartoonishly sadistic lunatic who all the other NPCs seem to think is the best thing since sliced bread. It's basically Fallout: Poochie Edition.
It's one of the worst quest mods I've ever played. Writing and voice acting are both terrible
@@ph0759 It's a shame, because while I had some issues with The Bleachers it was at least vaguely competently-written. This one, on the other hand... not so much.
Still better than thuggysmurf's mods tbh
There are also more city plans for outposts being released monthly.
PSA for FO4 users with RTX cards: the game does not detect RTX cards, but as long as you manually set it to Ultra (or whatever quality) it will work. If you are experiencing crashes you need to set weapon debris to off. I struggled with this for a couple months after getting an RTX card, and even Bethesda support couldn't figure it out. Took some intense googling until I finally figured it out the other day.
Fine... I'll play the game again...
Another great video, thank you. A little surprised you didn't mention the Attachment pack... I put it into my current playthrough as I was unsure how a mod like WARS would play with my otherwise heavily modded load order, but I was heartily sick of seeing the same weapons all the time, and I couldn't include PEACE as it would conflict with Community Fixes Merged and that mod alone saves me about 20 .esp slots. Also I really wanted to try out the Institute Tech Overhaul and it plays especially nicely with the Attachment Pack.
Honorable mention: dad's attachment pack
Loading time is one of the biggest mechanical gripes i have with the game. I don't mind loading screens in general, but Fallout 4's load time is especially terrible. Anything that decreases that is a win for me.
Immediately downloaded several of these, thanks so much!
"And for some of you, _thousands_ of hours."
Eight. Eight thousand. I may have a problem.
This is the first video that I've watched labeled top 10 best mods for fallout 4 that I actually think are some of the best mods
Bleachers looks interesting. The spoiler in particular was exquisite 😂
That dude doing the pistol spin was super cool! Was sims 3 available on Xbox
I think Disk Cache Enabler would've helped me more around 7-8 years ago =)
I'll agree with most of these but Bleachers 2 was just pathetic- basically the authors fanfic of how their character (whos supposed to just be your companion) is a living god that all npcs adore while painting your pc as a useless moron... because the unhinged lunatic just happily describing burning people alive is definitely someone people will love.
It was basically all just edgelord writing. And that companion is probably the most insufferable npc I've ever encountered.
I really wish I could play Sim Settlements just without the Settlements. All the new story stuff looks cool but anytime I've tried to play it, I lose interest a few quests in because I don't want to do all the settlement stuff. Oh well.
Glad to see some more Fallout 4 videos. Was worried this was going to turn into a Blandfield channel. Here's to more FO4 content in 2024.
I wish A Storywealth would have gotten a honorable mention. I understand it's a modpack/ collection, but it does a great job at tying in a lot of these fanatic mods in a seamless/ stable way with each other and the original storyline.
100 percent agree and their discord is great at helping people with modding issues
Didn't like Bleachers 2. Just didn't have the writing quality of the 1st part while reducing the PC to a sidekick with the author of the mod getting angry when people didn't like that. I think they thought their writing was better then the base games when it was far from it.
iam still sore, that fallout 4 got so much care over the years from bethesda and the modding community made so much for it, while fallout 4 just a few fixes to an old version even back then and the modding community did almost nothing for it. those 4 versions runs such different build, that almost every mod after 2019 doesnt work right which tinkering an self made adjustments. but since i got my vr headset, it cant play games flat anymore, is such a step back for me, as going from 3drendered back to 2 rendered. its all about 2 things: depth perception and a total different way of eye catching compared to flat gaming, and feeling much more natural due to hand, body and head movement
ss2 was by far the most amazing mod I've seen for counsel!
America Rising still works btw, survived the FONG purge.
@JuceHead you should honestly like yearly or monthly release a massive mod pack on nexus i would 100% play it
Working on perk overhaul to make all perks powerfull, balanced and interesting.
Still struggling with some perks.
I am limited by avaiable icons, so cant change the perks too much unless I use static black/white perks from F3 or new vegas.
I want to change/ buff perks so that they seem as powerfull as other options and make more sense.
The perks the need rework are:
Basher - are we supposed to use bashing as primary source of damage?
Pain train - neash power armour perk when you allready have powerfull power armour perk in inteligence?
Pickpocket - weak - almost nothing to steal
Ghoulish - first 3 ranks are useless
I have some ideas, but want to hear yours as well to get inspiration.
I personally don't consider the Enclave to be pure evil. It jist depends on whos running the show.
25:16 For me, after the radio broadcast, it was crazy because there was no further information
Bloatflies shoot rockets is insanely funny and I recommend it, also a rocket pack....
Gotta say I felt SSChap3 was by far the weakest of the 3 with how much it forces you to rejig your version of the commonwealth to the ss3 story, if i've already armed the settlements in question to the teeth having them auto-lost to the gunners made me a bit grumpy.
Quick question can you have all three chapters of sim settlements installed at the same time? Or just one at a time
It's crazy cuz I can't find a single one of these mods when searching them up by name
All of these mods will break when the update drops unfortunately
Winter of atom should've been a dlc
for wars id like to see a fast reload where you drop the mag onto the ground, and a slower one that takes longer, but lets you put the spent mag straight into your pack. Myabe add an option where you can hotkey them to different buttons?
Bleachers 2 was such a letdown to me personally. Technically it's really impressive, and I really want to like it, but the writing, story and characters is just so cringey and terrible at times that I just couldn't finish it.
So, really disagree with your view there JuiceHead, imo the story is the worst part of that mod.
All forms of Mutant Menagerie Horrors of the Deep Fog breaks Far Harbor and causes a CTD going towards where the Synths are. Probably a Vanilla Game Engine problem, but one that should be looked into.
can u make a video about all the mods u use, ur game looks really fun. it be fun to know your mods😅😅
I hope it is like the Enclave Reborn mod for HOI4 Old World Blues in which the decisions are profound with a reformist and purist faction and the effect that has on the core faction. (I have not played through the America Rising mod yet)
Lost world fallout mod is incredible this is my first time playing the game and i love the aesthetic
Hopefully we get the next gen version of F4 this year with all the mods with it. Just like what we got with the Skyrim AE one. It would be a good reason to replay and I've still not played nuka cola dlc yet lol.
they need to fix the PBR support in FO4
No offense but why would you want that update it is probably goona break all mods
@@epicforger12345 I'm dreading it, because one of my favourite mods has been abandoned by its author since 2020 - so if it breaks, it'll most likely be broken forever 😥
@@philiphunn194 hopefully there will be a game update downgraded like there was for Skyrim
I want mods that will change the combining wheel for the better.
I get through all the junk and c*** cars. Trucks trailers destroyed trains and replaced them with new settlements and rebuilding the commonwealth
Newermind is my favourite mod author
Going to try and get these incorporated into my heavily modded VR fallout.
I will of course copy my profile in mod organizer before so I don't ruin it.
Fallout in VR is so cool.
Hardware has caught up so it can finally be played whilst looking good and running ok.
Thanks for the video.
Did it work ok?
@@thetwitchywarlock no very broken 💔
@@ImmersiveGamer83 D:
I know it seems like a tedious request. But I wanted to ask if you could use chapters in your video in the future, so it's easier to find each individual mod you're talking about
I'm always looting Institute Weapons to sell the weapons or scrap them for parts.
Dang, that Sim Settlements 2 mod seems cool, if only I knew how to download nexus mods on steam deck☹️
Man, i need to download a few of these tonight, especially the disk cache one!
I would greatly appreciate a 2024 top quality of life mods list for a new play through. Reinstalled the game after watching the new series 😅
Mods that don’t dramatically change the gameplay, but make the game fresh.
What hardware are you running?
To me it's just a game that I go back to every once in a while, so haven't done the mod approach though some of these do look interesting. I usually just play it in survival mode and that seems to be good enough. My four border collies keep me entertained elsewhere most of the time. Kudos though for your efforts and love of the game.
My hype for fallout London is crazy
Fallout London this year, Elder Scrolls Skyblivion next
Thank you juice head for being the last of the real and the providers of the fallout universe even after the hype train departs
Don't go into Bleachers 2 if you want to play "The Hero". You are nothing but a sidekick. They will remind you over and over and OVER again!
Any chance we could get a top 10 list of mods that don't rely on other mods that can only be found off site from Nexus? War and Peace look fantastic but rely on mods not available on Nexus and I'm not all that good at file managing to begin with.
Does anyone know of a mod that lets you place weapon magazines and scopes as decoration?
Faster workshop edit makes the list but not the attachment pack? wot?
I wish there was a lite version of the institute weapons overhaul therrs almost to much there for a faction that supposed to have supply issues.
I hated Bleachers 2 or fens sheriff department. The story just did not connect with me.
You're not the only one. It's such an overrated mod.
Considering your character is treated like a nobody and every npc in the mod thinks lily is the equivalent of a walking God even though she is probably the single worst human being I've seen in a follower period.
Are there many problems adding multiple quest mods to a single run through? Would like to experience a few quest line mods but would be nice to do them in a single play through.
Good mods list. My personal favorite is the mod that turns all the deathclaws into Macho Man Randy Savage, complete with full audio. Literally did laugh out loud the first time i came across one. Too bad the devs didn't follow through on a PS4 mod.
Sim Settlements Question: Should you install and finish Chapter 1, then install Ch 2 and after that's done install Ch 3 or should you install all 3 and it'll deal with making sure you don't get overloaded itself?
If you are on PC, get all 3 chapters, active them all. The main questline chapters progress in order anyway, there is no jumping ahead. The content gets unlocked in chapter order. If you are on xbox where space is strict, you can install and finish one chapter before installing another.
@@beebscalicorThanks, that was exactly what I was hoping to hear. Sadly some DLCs and mods adding content and such well before it makes sense like in FO:NV if you had all the DLCs you got a ton of radio messages as soon as you walked out of the doctors office and there was also a ton of stuff you could pick up and be over geared early on. I wasn't sure if adding all 3 chapters might do something similar to where I'd start finding gunner outposts or something before reaching that part of the story.
I don't understand why you recommend mods that on the Nexus have tons of bugs and CTDs.
Disk Cache Enabler:
Have you read all the negative reviews on this mod?
The institute not using plasma weapons and being weak was a problem. As fighters they should stink but the armour and weapons including plasma rifles and grenades would be a mitigating factor. Not a fan of Sim Settlements,I like my own mods. The rest of these I have to try. I have a character just for trying new mod loads.
Okay the first three mods are buggy. Upon testing though the final 7 work as stated. Perhaps the bugs were after you used Institute technology overhaul, sims settlements 2, and Faction Reinforcements? Or maybe I suck at using nexus.
After all is said and done I only liked 3 enough to use them in next play through, disc cache enabler, Bleachers 2, and Mutant Menagerie-Life finds a way. Still that made the video worth watching.
Wars and peace is kind of a headache to deal with in general for modding though So just a heads up
I'm playing through the Enclave Rising 2 Mod and I'll be honest, I haven't seen them as evil yet, but, there's a chance that I'm way to early in the mod. I also realize why they didn't include the Enclave as a normal faction, especially the way it's implemented with the mod. As someone FROM The old world, of course you would want that back, Nate especially as a Soldier would probably engrain himself into the chain of command and attempt to get his old rank back whatever that was, and with the characters as presented at the start, they're all rather personable, rightfully wary of you at the start. I haven't encountered anything evil yet, but I'm assuming it's only a matter of time...
Kottabos Games and theDeluxeSam have both been doing let’s-plays of the mod, and they definitely do get pretty dark.
@@philiphunn194 Oof, I guess that's to be expected. Guess my protag is betraying the Enclave later...
Thank you for this video. Subscribed !
i hate it when someone waits to get up close and personal to unload on me lol
With so many mod videos, I would give rough information about the load order. Just like people often do on Nexusmods. But well, RUclipsrs are too bad for that. Only clicks and likes count!
HI, Just wondering do all these mods all work together.? Cheers
I really hope we get a mod space increase when Bethesda updates everything.
I’m playing America Rising with all its plug ins and when I finish I don’t want my character to be absolutely useless when I have to uninstall to play something different.
Or atleast giving us the ability to have multiple load orders for specific characters
I’m a console pleb so I’m at Todd’s mercy
I instantly downloaded the mutant menagerie
maybe i'm a greedy dude but i really want we could use weapons along with the shield
Isn't Bethesda adding a new quest-line with the enclave in the next gen update for fallout 4?
If I haven't played any SS2 chapters, must I install one chapter at a time or can I install all three and still experience it all?
man i wish i could get back into this game
No attachment pack?
That ai mod needs to be compatible with all mods cause I found out the hard way doesn't work with added npcs. which can not give up. Just like the miia or whatever it's called that makes it easier for them to kill you, which also makes them easier to kill. Being a real gamer couldn't deal with it. Like the challenge.
