Fallout 4 Seasons Project – Fall – Winter – Spring – Summer
Once I decided I wanted a “nature has returned” look to my Fallout 4 game, I was pleased to find some great mods out there already to work with. I found that I achieved more of the look I wanted by mixing and matching different textures from various mods. Also, I didn’t want my game to be static and look the same for every season. Thus the idea for these Fallout 4 Seasons Project mod compilations.
Now you have four flavors to chose from for your game! Vibrant Spring, Lush Summer, Colorful Fall, or Blizzard Winter. Or, switch them out like I do to freshen up your Fallout 4 based on the game date! (For example, uninstall Fall, install Winter.) Hopefully once creation kit comes out, maybe some kind of automated switching can happen. But for now, this will have to do.
AVAILABLE SEASONS:
FALL SEASON 1.0 (with or without More Grass .esp plugin)
WINTER SEASON (with or without More Grass .esp plugin)
Thank you to Hodilton and pixelgamer for the videos!
SPRING SEASON (coming very soon, still working out a few textures)
SUMMER SEASON (coming very soon, still working out a few textures)
THIS MOD WILL PROBABLY DROP YOUR FPS, but hopefully not very much. I only lose a tiny bit. Especially if you use the More Grass versions.
If you do not want the extra grass density from More Grass (or the FO4 Edit .esp file that goes with it), please use the Textures Only/No More Grass versions. You can actually increase grass density yourself by altering iMinGrassSize=(number) in your Fallout.ini if you prefer to how dense you wish. However, it won’t look the same as in the screenshots or videos, and I prefer using More Grass instead.

The textures chosen for the Seasons mod were painstakingly hand selected via one by one comparison between the various source mods. The result is a complete overhaul for the chosen season in the personal opinion of the Seasons mod author.
Please note that these mods are all early made before an official creation kit, and neither I nor the original mod authors are responsible for any bugs in your game (although I personally have used these for many hours with no issues). Some things may not look absolutely terrific, but please remember this is what is available now, before creation kit, so be nice.
I have no control over how these textures and files look in your game. I will update these files with the latest versions of the source mods as they come out and I have time. Source mods may be included or changed based on what becomes available.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND additional mods for the ultimate landscape gaming experience.
(Install BEFORE FO4 Seasons mod in this order & overwrite when asked.)
Grafix Landscape 2.0 – http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1764/?
Better Road Textures – http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2895/?
Vivid Landscapes 2k & HD Normal Maps – http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1769/?
Vivid Rocks 2k & HD Normal Maps – http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1400/?
(Then your chosen Seasons Project file.)
All screenshots are taken with no other landscape mods installed and no Reshade on. So what you see is what you get. Personally, my preferred Reshade at this time is Ruined City FX, which I think looks great with these mods.
INSTALLATION
BACK UP YOUR DAMN DATA FOLDER AND SAVE GAMES BEFORE YOU INSTALL ANY NEW MOD! Just saying. 🙂
Nexus Mod Manager – Download using the NMM button and then install, or download using the manual link (RECOMMENDED) and copy folder into your NMM mod manager and install. Big files sometimes corrupt or break when using the NMM button to download.
Manual Installation – I REALLY recommend using NMM to install. If not, however, download using the manual link, then BACKUP YOUR DATA FILE FIRST, unzip the .rar file and drag the contents into your data folder and overwrite when asked.
Any Other Mod Manager – I don’t use them and know nothing about them, so proceed at your own risk.
UNINSTALL
Nexus Mod Manager – Just uninstall using the NMM function.
Manual Uninstall – I really recommend using NMM, but if not, you’ll be needing that backup Data folder you made, you crazy person.
(FUTURE: Still working on killing all those damn fallen leaves textures for Spring & Summer in an appropriate way that doesn’t make it just look like green leaves OR leave white texture problems. Current solution of switching out an alternate ground texture is not entirely pleasing, and still have some brown leaves areas that I can’t seem to get at yet. Also, in some areas, there is a large brown bushy thing that I don’t like in the Spring/Summer mods and I may try to remove or alter it.)
