Summary
Fallout 4players who have managed to uncover every hidden secret in the Commonwealth might be ready to move on to another statethat’s still ripe with possibility. TheFalloutfranchise is explicitly linked to the United States with post-apocalyptic Americana baked into the series' very essence.While ambitious mods likeFallout: Londonmay aim to take the action overseas, some modders instead turn to unexplored parts of The Land of The Bold and The Free for inspiration to expand the game.
Over on Nexus Mods, userYogibird111shared their"Fallout Vermont" mod which adds a new map based on the Green Mountain State. The location is populated by vast stretches of forests and idyllic rivers flowing past quaint towns that would like to live in peace if the rampant feral ghoul population wasn’t becoming more aggressive. Yogibird111 notes that players who discover the secret tunnel in Sanctuary Hills and use it to travel to Vermont can help the locals deal with their problem while they slowly discover a “devious conspiracy” responsible for all the attacks.

A Fresh Look For Fallout 4
Taking A Trip Around The World
While theFallout 4mods that take aim at the game’s lingering issues and persistent bugs must be commended, creators with more ambitious plans should be celebrated for taking Bethesda’s game and making it their own. Aside from “Fallout Vermont,” which champions immersive gameplay by removing quest markers and requiring players to talk to NPCs,the aforementionedFallout: Londonis an achievement in the modding community.The add-on is so massivethat it requires an entire launcher to work correctly.
Other gigantic mods that are still in development include “Project Arroyo,” which isa ground-up remake ofFallout 2withinFallout 4’s engine. The mod has been in development for several years and given the small size of the team and the lengthy nature of creating something of that scale, it will likely be quite some time before it’s eventually released. In a similar vein,a separate group of fans is recreating the originalFalloutinFallout 4,and there’s currentlya demo available for everyone to try for free.
Despite being nearly a decade old,Fallout 4continues to be a dominant force in the industry. It helps that Bethesda has actively encouraged the modding community to expand upon the game in an unofficial capacity, leading to thousands of add-ons that add a plethora of content to the experience.With huge creations likeFallout: MiamiandFallout: Cascadiastill in development, there’s still plenty of life left in this RPG.
