THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE GENERALIZED. ALWAYS FOLLOW ANY INSTRUCTIONS THAT MAY BE PROVIDED BY THE MOD AUTHOR.
OCDecorator is a great addition if you do want to decorate, I used to run with this mod a lot but unfortunately I’ve found running this plus USO can lead the game to crashing often when you open workshop mode. Another amazing mod is FreeFall 4- it’s a pretty amazing mod that fixes a lot of bugs and fixes throughout the game and adds in cut. Our first mod, and the most popular and largest cheat mod available for Fallout 4 on Xbox One is Cheat Terminal. It works as a Holotape that you play on your Pip-Boy or terminal. Some of the cheats it allows you to do is enable god mode, infinite ammo, infinite carry weight, spawn caps, easy lock picking, teleport around the map freely, spawn. They've long been part of the wasteland experience on PC, but thanks to various updates you can also use Fallout 4 mods on PS4 and Xbox One. To get started, update your game to the latest version.

How To Manually Install Fallout 4 Mods
Archive Extractors
You will need an archive extractor such as 7zip, WinRar, or other solution.
Finding Your Data Folder
This is where you will install Fallout 4 modification files.
The default location for your data folder is within your steam games installation directory:
C: Program Files Steam steamapps Common Fallout 4 Data
An alternative method for finding your installation directory:
In Steam, right-click the game title > Properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files > Then open the “data” folder.
You have now found your data folder. Remember this location.
Installing Loose files
'Loose files' refers to a mod who’s content files are separate, individually contained within an archive that must be extracted to your data folder.
To install, extract the contents of the mod archive to your data folder.
If the archive already contains a ‘data’ folder, extract it directly to your installation directory instead.
That’s it! You should now be able to load the game and see the installed mod in action.
Installing Plugins
Plugins are mods that are packaged as self-contained ESP files (.esp). These plugins must be extracted to your data folder and unlike loose files, must be enabled via the plugins.txt file.
To install a plugin, simply extract the archive to your data folder.
If the archive already contains a ‘data’ folder, extract it directly to your installation directory instead.
After installation, plugins must be enabled before they will be active in-game.
Enabling Plugins
Plugins, unlike loose files, must be enabled in Fallout 4 by adding them to your plugins.txt file before they are active in-game.
Locate your plugins.txt file in your Fallout 4 AppData folder
This folder is hidden by default. To ensure that you are able to see hidden files in windows file explorer, access Tools > Folder Options > View > then select “Show Hidden Files”
The Fallout 4 AppData folder can be found in “C:/Users/[YourUsername]/AppData/Local”
Alternatively, in windows explorer, you can type “%LocalAppData%/Fallout4” into the browser bar and be taken directly to this folder.
Run the Fallout 4 Launcher (do not run the game) then quit the launcher. This will populate your plugins.txt file with the newly added ESP file.
Open the plugins.txt file located in Fallout 4's AppData folder with a text editor such as Notepad++
Ensure the new ESP file is listed.
If you enabled modding correctly as described in the 'How to Enable Fallout 4 mod support' section at the top of this page, the mod (ESP file) you are installing will be now listed in this file, after the Fallout 4 launcher is run. If not, you may try manually add the mod to this list as a whole filename with extension (ie. yourmod.esp).
After confirming the ESP file is listed in your plugins.txt file, you are done! You should now be able to see the mod you installed active in-game.
How To Manually Uninstall Fallout 4 Mods
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE GAME FILES
Removing files from your installation directory can be risky and might result in having to reinstall the game. We recommend using Nexus Mod Manager to make the installation and removal of mods safer and easier.
Removal of loose files
Verify the files used by the mod you would like to remove by examining the original archive. Remove files you confirm to be used by the mod.
Be very careful about removing core game files that the mod may have over-written. Doing so may damage your game installation.
Removal of plugins
Removing plugins is somewhat safer than loose-files in that plugins are self-contained and will not affect the integrity of the game installation when removed.
Verify the files used by the mod you would like to remove by examining the original archive. Remove files you confirm to be used by the mod.
Deactivating Plugins
Plugins can be deactivated by modifying the plugins.txt file (as described in the installation process) and removing the line that references the plugin you wish to deactivate.
How to verify game integrity
Should you ever find yourself in need of repairing your game installation, Steam has a handy tool that will help:
In Steam, right-click the game title > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Cache
This will ensure that your game installation is valid and in working order, though this may disable / invalidate any mods that were installed before starting the process.

After what feels like an age of waiting, mod support has finally arrived for Fallout 4 on PlayStation 4. All that you need in order to get started is download the game's latest patch, which adds mod functionality to the release. Once you've got that, you'll be able to hop into the title's new mod section via the main menu, where you'll be free to pick and choose which mods you want to download and install.
It's a reasonably simple process, but just in case you need some guidance, we've crafted this quick guide on how to get the job done. We'll talk you through the act of enabling your chosen mods step by step, and we've even included screenshots to help you on your way.
Choose 'Mods' from the main menu
With the latest update installed, there should be a new option on Fallout 4's main menu titled 'Mods'. Hit X on it and you should be shown either a log in screen or a brief loading screen. If you're met with the former, you'll have to sign in using your Bethesda account. If you don't have one, you can create one over on bethesda.net.
Getting to know the main mod screen
Once you're logged in, you should be seeing the main mod screen, which features rows of available mods that users have uploaded. Mods are sorted into categories such as Most Popular and Highest Rated. Note that you can also filter which mods are shown by pressing L2.
When you've found a mod that tickles your fancy, simply highlight it, press X, and you'll be taken to that particular mod's page.
Download your chosen mod
Your chosen mod's page will be split into two sections. On the left you can see the mod's name, its author, its download size, a picture, and three options. On the right, you can find a description of the mod that's been written by either the creator or uploader.
The three options on the left are the important part here. There's Favorite, Download, and Report. Favorite allows you to keep an eye on the mod, adding it to a handy list, and Report lets you flag a mod that may cause technical issues or may contain questionable content.
Obviously, Download is the option that you'll want to select if you're looking to add this mod to your game. Once you've hit Download, the mod will start downloading. Depending on the file size, this could take anywhere from a few seconds to a couple of minutes or so, unless it's an especially large mod.
Using the mod page
After your chosen mod has been downloaded, there should be five options instead of three on the left side of the mod page. The new options include Disable, Delete, and Rate.
Disable stops that mod from working until you enable it again. Delete removes the mod from your game entirely until you decide to download it again. Rate allows you to give the mod a rating out of five stars. If you find yourself liking the mod, be sure to come back to the page and leave a positive rating, as this helps other users find the best mods while also showing your support to its creator.
Load order
When you've downloaded your mod and return to the main mod menu, hit triangle to go to the load order screen. Again, this screen is split into two parts. On the left is a list of all the mods that you've downloaded. On the right, you can see how much space each mod takes up, and how much space you've got left. It's worth noting that on the PS4, you can only install up to 1GB worth of mods.
The load order screen is the best way to keep track of which mods you have installed. You can also disable, delete, and reorder them to your liking.
Done and dusted
Fallout 4 Ps4 Mod Order
Once you're happy with your mod selection, head out of the mod menus and return to Fallout 4's main menu. If you've done everything correctly, you should be greeted with a message box which reads 'The mod selection/ load order has changed. The game will now reload your data files.' Hit OK, and the game will restart after a brief loading period.
When that's over, you should be good to go once you've started a new game or loaded up a save file.
