Fallout for PC Overhaul Project (FPOP)
What is FPOP?
FPOP consist of numerous mod authors and committee members to make an exclusive “One Stop Shop” of compatible mods for those PC Gamers looking for a lore friendly modded FO4 game that is based on the theme of making the Fallout 4 world more beautiful, hardcore, and immersive. FPOP is not one mod, but a collection of mods by various mod authors formed into one giant mod. The end goal will to be to hopefully have one installer or master ESM once Bethesda releases more tools to make the install process even easier. Our features are small right now, but we plan to grow as more mod authors contribute. We advise people utilizing FPOP mod, to have high end machines because we will use lots of high end texture mods, though don’t worry we do take into consideration of FPS and try not to go “too” crazy.
What does this mean to the user downloading this file???
We will release periodic snapshots of this mod (so feel free to check back once in a while). We will include more and more mods in the future in each periodical snapshot. We will strive to ensure it doesn’t break your game, or require restarting your game from the beginning. We will strive to make sure snapshots only add more to the game, and do not break it. We will strive to make this process as painless as possible when looking for new mods. Of course there are users out there that rather just tweak all these settings themselves. That is not a problem, if that’s what you rather do, more power to you!
Currently what this mod offers:
Darker Nights
Enhanced Blood Textures
More Realistic Bullet Cracks sounds
Reshading to make the world look more beautiful and gritty
Future Plans:
We will be adding numerous texture enhancement mods as mod authors allow
Better Combat Mods
Revision of the Hud
We’re considering revising fast travel to make it more immersive (hint hint mod authors)
Again anything that makes the game more fun and immersive, all while sticking to the lore, we want to add!
For example we are looking for mods that involve textures, hunger mods, combat, weapons, stories, etc. etc
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
PLEASE READ the file called “Install Guide – 8 Quick Steps!!!.txt” located in the .Zip folder.
Other Suggested Mods:
This mod is not required, but is just a really cool and handy tool! The Fallout 4 Configuration Tool to set your individual settings. I advise not uncapping your FPS though, I’ve seen weird issues with uncapping it (not mod related) but Bethesda’s engine doesn’t like it even with no mods installed. I also like the 90 FPS and settings more processor core priorities. This mod is not required, but just a really cool and handy tool!

Compatibility:
Because the aim of this project is to unify numerous mods for this current theme, we don’t necessarily support other mods. Feel free to suggest to your favorite mod authors to contact us to add their mod. Though more in likely their mod should work with our mods. You can visit the individual mod authors links I’ve posted in the credits if you’re wanting to read up individually on it and their compatibility.
Don’t want the reshade? We’ve included this reshader because we really believe it fits with the theme. But if you really want to use your own reshader delete the following files in the root fallout directory “Fallout 4”: ReShade, dxgi.dll, ReShade.fx and you should be good to add your own. Though our other mods play off this theme (darker nights etc).

Please thank these mod authors for our current “SNAPSHOT1” for FPOP!!!!

Calling all mod authors!!!
Do you have a neato water texture mod you built by yourself (for example)? You can message us give us permission to submit your work to the FPOP’s latest snapshot. We do not add ANY mods without explicit consent by the authors themselves.
All authors will have their name fully posted and recognized for their hard work for helping us make an improved FO4 version for PC gaming.
What type of work are we looking for and what is the “theme”?
The committee and community gets the ultimate say, but the point of this overhaul is to stay true to the original game and lore. There will
be no wacky John Cena mods for example. We are looking for again anything that Fallout 4 world more beautiful, hardcore, and immersive. As noted above, for example we are looking for mods that involve textures, hunger mods, combat, weapons, stories, etc. etc. Again anything that makes Fallout more beautiful, hardcore, and all immersive PC experience.
What commitment is required of the mod author?
Long story short, none (if desired). We simply require your permission to use the mod, we will do the behind the scenes work for unifying your mod. We do ask the mod author if possible though to keep our project in mind if possible. It will make our life a lot easier to not have to come up with patches to make you’re mod work! You can also be very involved as well if desired. You can join our committee (not required by ANY means) to help look and accept mods that may or may not fit our theme.
What if you don’t mod, but want to help on the committee?
Shoot us a message
Side Notes:
I’m a modder myself, I’m also a project manager during my day job. I understand the modding process quite well as project management. I hope to use both my backgrounds to help lead this committee and organize this mod into a successful future as we grow.
Message me to join the committee or to submit your mod, we’ll love to see your name added!!!
