There are few things as enjoyable as aimlessly wandering an open world environment, and as far as those go, the series has some of the best. True Stormsįor a lot of people, the main appeal of the modern Fallout games lies with their freedom of exploration.

Here are ten of my favorites, covering everything from atmosphere and weather, to music, Workshop items, and more. Others were chosen for their ability to enhance its environments. Some of these mods were initially selected to right some of the game’s basic wrongs.
