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:
How To Get Mods For Fallout 4 On Xbox
- 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.

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 then select the new 'MODS' option from the main menu.
It's worth noting upfront that using mods may not always have the desired effect, especially when combining several at once, and that anything you download is done at your own risk. However, a new save file is created when you restart the game after applying mods so your existing progress should be safe. Also be aware that due to the number of cheat mods available, Achievements and Trophies are disabled while using anything other than the vanilla version of Fallout 4.
When you arrive at the mods section you'll see any you've previously downloaded in your library, followed by the most popular mods of the week, all time most popular, highest rated and newest additions. Keep scrolling down for a huge selection of subcategories from Animals to Worlds, or hit Square/X to search for a specific term you're looking for.
Once you've chosen a mod, you can look through any attached screenshots and use the right stick to scroll down the file notes - this can contain important information about how to make the mod work properly so make sure you give it a read. If you're happy with what you see, hit the Download option to add it to your library.
Now you need to sort out the Load Order of your mods, as some of them will override the effects of others and therefore need to be activated in the correct sequence. Hit Triangle/Y to enter the Load Order menu, then drag and drop your chosen updates into the right arrangement - most mods should tell you if they need to be loaded first or last in their file notes.
After making your selections and exiting the mods section, you'll be prompted to reload your data files then returned to the main menu. Now all you need to do is load an existing game or start a new one and you're on the way to an updated gaming experience.
And there you have it - your choice of Fallout 4 mods running directly on your console. Now you know how to make them work, make sure you check out the best Fallout 4 mods to really enhance your experience.
