Before we began make sure to follow and setup your game for the smoothest experience up to date with this guide by Ethnet! And I highly recommend using MO2 for this guide!
Ok now that your game is running buttery smooth let's began our guide!!! Note make sure to override if asked and install mods as follows... Loadorder:
For our first mod is an forest overhaul mod called A Forest by DeathByKitty Mods description - Transforms the Commonwealth into a dense and overgrown forest landscape without disabling precombines.
Also download the update as well which contains numerous bug fixes for her mod! And A Forest Tree Trim base mod for even more bug fixes thank you RequiredUsername!!!
A Forest Hard requirement for more bug fixes and compatibility with other mods: A Forest Tree Trim by RequiredUsername Download the base mod and whatever else that you need!
This texture replacer will touch up on metal objects making them more rusty 50 Shades Of Rust by Undernier Mods description - Adds rust and remove bright colors from the world. Will make metal objects more rusty!
Next texture overhaul is going to add moss all over the Commonwealth which in my opinion is a totally overlooked mod! Fallout 4 Moss AIO by pointythundra654
Download the Fallout 4 Moss AIO-4 which is the final up to date release of the mod containing all the goods. Also If you're using a ENB turn off parallax as textures become goofy looking! This mod has some corrupted/missing textures but is being looked at by the developer once it's fixed I'll remove this!
Next mod is going to add vines all over the place & add moss to the vehicles and rocks & is our main landscape mod too! Commonwealth Reclamation Project: Overgrowth by ShadowofTheWind
Once in go and find the tab labeled The Cargo Bay and click shadowOfthewind-mods section then download CRP It's a big file!
Next up is a relatively new road retexture mod to replace the CRP sanctuary pre war roads It has been a long road - More than roadsRetexture by HappoMatka Mods description - Retextures for roads and some other parts related and/or affected unintentionally or intentionally making the visuals more green and weathered.
Next up is going to remove fake puddles using No More Fake Puddles by christoph392008 Mods description - A simple texture replacement to remove the persistent fake puddles from the game. No more fake reflections!
This mod will fix water texture bug from CRP we'll be using WET - Water Enhancement Textures by CaptainCockerel Mods description - WET enhances all water and most water-related effects in the game. From one of the creators of the popular Realistic Water Two mod for Skyrim.
Next up is a well known cloud overhaul mod These will fix the green sky textures by the mod Fallout 4 Moss AIO! Radiant Clouds and Fogs by Mangaclub Mods description - Radiant Clouds and Fogs replaces almost all Fallout 4 Clouds as well as the distant fogs in the mountains.
luxor8071 for FO4LODGen - A Guide on how to generate LOD!
Final Thoughts: Make sure to override if asked!!! This will "probably" be updated in the future as mods change/update... If your using Mod Organizer 2 the mods if installed in order should come out as planned!!! If you're using NMM (Vortex) make sure to override everything in order note might not come out as pretty as for some of these mods are loose files! FYI I made this guide for myself and for others because I install so many mods and restart all the time and this is by far my favorite simple overgrown setup... Caution keep in mind some textures will have weird missing textures and I'm pretty sure its caused by Fallout 4 Moss AIO and I am currently trying to find fixes!
