Take a Look at Fallout 4 With 120 Graphics Mods
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/take-a-look-at-fallout-4-with-120-graphics-mods/
YouTube’s ‘Cycu1’ has shared a video, comparing a heavily modded version of Fallout 4 (using around 120 graphics mods) with its vanilla version. This video comparison can give you an idea of how much better Fallout 4 with mods can look on PC.
As you can clearly see, the modded version looks more detailed than the vanilla version. I’ve also noticed some lighting enhancements and changes. For example, you can notice some fog effects in the distance now. And yes, there are now higher-quality textures for a lot of surfaces and objects.
Now what’s great here is that the YouTuber has shared the list of mods they used. So, the mod that he has used are NAC – Natural and Atmospheric Commonwealth alongside this Fallout 4 Mod List Collection. In order to further enhance the visuals, Cycu1 also used the Ultimate Immersion Fallout 4 ENB 2.0. Thus, you can make your game look exactly like the modded version that is being showcased here.
>> Cool while it lasts. We don’t know how many of those mods will still work once the Next Gen upgrade launches. Anyway, the article has an over 20 minutes video.

While everyone else is getting re-acquainted with Fallout, this maniac's bolting hundreds of mods together to turn Fallout 4 into Resident Evil 5
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/while-everyone-else-is-getting-re-acquainted-with-fallout-this-maniacs-bolting-hundreds-of-mods-together-to-turn-fallout-4-into-resident-evil-5/
Fallout's tagline may be "war never changes", but don't tell that to hero modder Quin. War has changed an awful lot in their Fallout world, which is now populated by zombies, dogs, and lickers, as well as being patrolled by the hunkiest version of Chris Redfield and a permanently irate Sheva Alomar. This is Fallout 4, except it's Resident Evil 5.
Quin's dedication to Fallout 4 is obvious from their YouTube channel, which has a boatload of videos showcasing various of the game's mods, but the overall theme is definitely Resident Evil. The modder has produced videos showcasing Fallout 4 modded to resemble various entries in the series, including things like the Tyrant and R.P.D. building from Resident Evil 2, and "Fallout 4 but it's Resident Evil 4 Remake."
(...)
Quin's put-together a gdoc listing all the mods they've used to transform Fallout 4 into the various Resident Evil games, and it's clearly been a Herculean task. The doc is 16 pages long and, though I may have miscounted, I think there are 249 mods listed. There's so many I'm surprised they're all playing nice with each other, and I'm sure Quin's had their struggles, but the cumulative effect is so mind-blowing you have to say it was worth the effort.
>> Same comment as the other one, except the article has one screenshot and a video longer than an hour.
