Modder ‘Security95’ has released the Vault 13 New Horizons Mod for Fallout 4, which adds new locations, quests, characters, and weapons. So, let’s take a closer look at it, shall we?
For those who did not know, Vault 13 is basically a remake of the first Fallout game in Fallout 4. And, as its title implies, Vault 13 New Horizons is a continuation of it. It adds new locations, quests, characters, weapons, and armor. Moreover, it has voice acting for almost all the main characters.
Security95 has also stated that he plans to recreate Fallout 1 entirely. However, he won’t go for an open-world area as that would take forever to complete alone or with a small team. Instead, the modder plans to create individual locations. This will significantly speed up development, allowing him to focus on the core elements. There will also be random encounters, which have already been added, if you try to leave Junktown and head to Shady Sands.
All in all, this is a cool mod that will add new free content to the game. As such, I highly recommend trying it. You can go ahead and download it from this link. Do note that you will need the “Vault 13” base mod. Otherwise, this expansion won’t work. So, make sure to read its “Requirements” tab.
If you are into Fallout 4, you might also want to check out these other mods for it. For instance, there is a LOD mod that reduces distant object/shadow/texture pop-ins. Then we have the Disk Cache Enabler Mod. There’s also a mod that adds ragdoll physics and collisions to dead bodies. Another amazing mod is this one that fixes the game’s long loading times. DirectHit is a mod that overhauls the AI of enemies. And let’s not forget this mod that adds real locational damage to all enemies. We also have this mod that adds to the game 10 driveable cars/vehicles with Havok physics, as well as this Enhanced Movement Mod. Modders have even brought Fallout: New Vegas’ skill system to it.
To improve the graphics or performance, you can use the following mods. If you don’t like this latest HD mod, you can either download this 8K Texture Pack or this 41GB 4K Texture Pack, which optimizes all 40,962 textures. There’s also a mod that improves the faces of over 1450 NPCs. Plus, there is a mod that adds support for NVIDIA DLSS 2, AMD FSR 2, and Intel XeSS. And let’s not forget the free AMD FSR 3.0 Frame Gen Mod.
America Rising 2 is another fan DLC/expansion mod that integrates the Enclave faction into the main story with 24 main quests. Hunter’s Abyss and Caves Of The Commonwealth are two other fan expansion mods. Let’s also not forget Fallout London, which looks promising. Misery Island is another DLC-sized fan expansion. You can also download Sim Settlements 2 – Chapter 3, Whispering Hills, which is a cool Silent Hill mod, and The Wilderness Mod. Plus, there is a horror quest mod that is inspired by Lovecraft, Resident Evil, and Dead Space. A few months ago, we also shared a brand new dark quest mod, called Project A.R.E.S. Let’s also not forget Atom’s Retribution, which offers 24+ hours of gameplay and 40+ new quests. Oh, and the Mass Effect Evolution Mod is once again available for download.
Have fun!
