Lunar Fallout is a comprehensive overhaul of Fallout 4 in a deceptively small package. This mod overhauls nearly every system in the game to work together and create a cohesive balanced experience. This aims to hit that sweet spot where you feel your character growing stronger and more capable, but the world continues to offer challenges. While I consider the mod complete, I still track the comments section and occasionally fix any bugs reported. At this stage it is a very stable mod.

The original design goal was to make Fallout 4 feel more like the FPS-RPG many of us wanted and expected on launch. I feel I accomplished this within the confines of my skills and what the vanilla game offers. In the process, the mod has made the game more challenging. This was a natural evolution as I fixed the balance of many systems and tied everything together. Very few changes were made to make the game difficult for the sake of difficulty. However, do be prepared for a challenge and know you may need to relearn the game to some extent.

If you want to give this overhaul a try with minimal effort, check out my Nexus Collection. Most of my Recommended Mods are all packed up and ready to go!

All in One? Yes, this mod encompasses almost every element of the game I felt needed fixing or balancing (as well as suggestions other users have made). The goal was to make one mod that covers all critical areas of the game. If you could only use one mod to improve fallout 4 I'd want this to be your choice. My personal limits set have been no added scripts, no third party mod requirements and no files other than the esp. There is very little "new content". However the changes are significant enough that the game should feel fresh. This mod is a great excuse to try Fallout 4 again if you lost interest shortly after release (or just want to try another play through with a different overhaul).

Key Features: I have written a series of Articles that go into detail on each area this mod changes, as well as offer lots of helpful information.


Optional Files and Patches

I try to curate a list of Recommended Mods in the Article section, if you are just interested in what I personally think goes well with the overhaul.

NSGM has been kind enough to share their German Translation of Lunar Fallout Overhaul. I will include the most recent version they share in the optional files section. Thanks!

WhiskyTangoFox has created a Wabbajack mod list Life in the Ruins, using Lunar Fallout as a base. They also have a Discord channel to help out. Check out their Nexus page as they have shared a ton of compatibility patches.
