Essential improvements

Skip intro videos

Modify Fallout4Custom.ini[7]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Fallout4Custom.ini or create it if it does not exist.
  3. Add or modify the following lines under [General]:
sIntroSequence=
fChancesToPlayAlternateIntro=0
uMainMenuDelayBeforeAllowSkip=0

Utilities

Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE)

Required by many mods for them to work correctly.
Expands the scripting capabilities of the game.

BethINI

BethINI is a .ini optimizer that also works as a configuration utility. It has well-tested and optimized presets that could improve performance and fidelity.
Download BethINI[8]
  1. Download BethINI.
  2. Extract the contents and run BethINI.exe.
  3. In the Setup tab make sure Fallout 4 is selected as Game.
  4. In the Basic tab choose either Vanilla or BethINI presets and choose one of the available presets. BethINI presets are optimized and trimmed versions of Vanilla presets.
  5. Modify settings in each tab as desired.
  6. After finished click Save and Exit in the Basic tab, BethINI will sort your .ini files alphabetically and merge already existing tweaks in your previous .ini files.

Notes

It also supports other Bethesda titles such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, Fallout 3, and Fallout: New Vegas.

Patches

Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch

A comprehensive bug fixing mod that aims to eventually fix every bug with Fallout 4 not officially resolved by the developers.

Mods

Dynamic Performance Tuner and Load Accelerator

Adjusts shadow distance and volumetric lighting and godrays quality dynamically to achieve targeted frame rate.
Disables frame capping during loading screen to accelerate loading speed.
Installation and configuration[9]
  1. Download the archived file and extract dxgi.dll, dynaperf.ini and the corresponding fallout4-addresses-x.x.x.x.ini file depending on your game version to game directory.
  2. If no corresponding fallout4-addresses-x.x.x.x.ini file is available for your game version either read the mod description page to create a new memory configuration file for your game version or download one that has been already created for your game version by the community. (e.g. Configuration Files For Dynamic Performance Tuner And Load Accelerator mod)
  3. Open dynaperf.ini with a text editor and modify the following key settings:
  • fTargetFPS=[60] - Target FPS is the highest FPS that the game will be allowed to run at, and is also the baseline for 100% load.
  • fShadowDirDistanceMin=[2500] - Minimum possible shadow distance. (e.g. 3000 from the Low quality preset)
  • fShadowDirDistanceMax=[12000] - Maximum possible shadow distance. (e.g. 20000 from the Ultra quality preset)
  • bLoadCapping=[0/1] - Setting it to 1 enables frame capping during loading screens which disables the loading speed acceleration.

Notes

Since the values are changed dynamically by modifying the values in-memory, the mod is version-dependent and each update in the game executable requires a new memory mapping.
To use it with ReShade graphics mod rename ReShade's dxgi.dll to dxgi_linked.dll.[10]

ENBoost

Fixes stuttering issues when there is no more available video memory, occurs when using high-resolution texture mods.
Can force V-sync, includes a frame limiter to help prevent stutter.
Installing and Configuring ENBoost[citation needed]
  1. Download the latest version of ENBoost for Fallout 4.
  2. Unzip all files from the Patch folder in the archive into the installation folder.
  3. Open enblocal.ini with text editor, modify the following values:
  • ApplyStabilityPatch=[false/true] - Stability fixes, the effectiveness varies from user to user. If this worsens the performance, set to false.
  • UsePatchSpeedhackWithoutGraphics=[false/true] - Recommended to enable for maximum performance.
  • ForceVideoMemorySize=[false/true] - Allocates more video memory from RAM and the pagefile.
  • VideoMemorySizeMb=[RAM + VRAM - 300MB for SSDs, or the VRamSizeTest result - 300MB for HDDs] - [See Notes] Forces video memory available in Mebibytes.
  • ForceVSync=[false/true] - Different than the game's default Vsync, and helps prevent stuttering and screen tearing.
  • VSyncSkipNumFrames=[0, 1, 2, or 3] - Mainly for users with high refresh rate monitors (>60Hz) and should be set to '0' for other users.
  • EnableFPSLimit=[false/true] - Caps the frame rate to assigned value. This will solve the physics issues relating to high frame rates, may also solve screen tearing.
  • FPSLimit=[61.0] - The frame rate you wish to cap the game at.
  • DisableFakeLights=[false/true] - Disables rim lights for all characters. Has a small performance impact.

Notes

If you use ReShade or any other tool that uses the d3d11.dll file, rename that tool's DLL file to dxgi.dll.
If the game is installed on an SSD, do not use the VRamSizeTest utility, as it also allocates some HDD space, which can affect your SSD's life.
Use the VRamSizeTest utility if the game is installed on an HDD to correctly determine the amount of memory that can be allocated to the game.
Some users report that using the borderless window setting with a frame limit increases FPS stability in the game.

Special K

Improves frame pacing, introduces texture caching system to reduce VRAM consumption, eliminates texture streaming bottlenecks and prevent memory fragmentation.
It is recommended to use an up-to-date version of Special K, since most of the settings described in the guide were added as core elements of it.[11]

Previsibines Repair Pack (PRP)

Rebuilds precombines and occlusion information for the entire game, leading to less draw calls and more FPS in CPU-bound situations depending on location.
Requires Unoffical Fallout 4 Patch and All DLC's.
A lightweight, mutually exclusive version designed for players using a large amount of worldspace-changing mods is available.

High FPS Physics Fix

This mod allows you to play Fallout 4 above 60 FPS with normal animation speed and without physics bugs.
Offers the ability to turn off vertical sync on loading screens to speed up game loading.

Modern minimal HUD

Designed to reduce visual pollution on screen and have a tactical modern touch to it, it increases the immersive feeling while still maintaining useful features like mission markers and ammo.

Best of Ultra DLC Pack

This mod is a replacement for Bethesda's official 58GB Ultra High Resolution DLC. It contains only the best HD textures, and leaves out the rest. You will get the same image quality with this 6GB mod as well as better performance, due to cutting out textures which were only stretched from original resolution to 4K without any improvements.

Widescreen resolution

Modify Fallout4Prefs.ini[12]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Fallout4Prefs.ini.
  3. Under [Display] modify the following parameters:
iSize W=XXXX
iSize H=XXXX

Field of view (FOV)

FOV Slider and Player Height
  1. Download FOV Slider and Player Height.
  2. Adjust FOVs/PlayerScale with sliders without messing up the Terminal Display and Pipboy with ingame menu. Use it with Mod Configuration Menu and F4SE.

Notes

The Mod Configuration Menu is a settings page for mods! It provides a central location for mod configuration, accessible via the Pause menu. ModSettings are stored in per-mod INI files under Data\MCM\Settings, making it easy to backup and restore settings and even change them outside the game if so desired should the mod support it.
Use Flawless Widescreen[13]
Modify Fallout4Custom.ini[7]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Fallout4Custom.ini or create it if it does not exist.
  3. Under [Display] add or modify the following parameters:
fDefault1stPersonFOV=XX
fDefaultWorldFOV=XX

Notes

fDefault1stPersonFOV controls first person camera and PipBoy, fDefaultWorldFOV controls third person camera.
Modifying fDefault1stPersonFOV will also modify PipBoy's field of view which might be an undesirable side effect for some users. In that case consider using Flawless Widescreen.

Vertical sync (Vsync)

Modify Fallout4Prefs.ini[12]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Fallout4Prefs.ini.
  3. Under [Display] change iPresentInterval to 0.

Notes

Disabling vertical sync will cause frame rate to exceed 60 FPS which may cause physics issues and make the game unstable. See High FPS Physics Fix.

Depth of field

Modify Fallout4Prefs.ini[14]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Fallout4Prefs.ini.
  3. Change bDoDepthOfField=1 to bDoDepthOfField=0.
  4. Change bScreenSpaceBokeh=1 to bScreenSpaceBokeh=0.

Notes

Will cause underwater effects to disappear.

Vertical sensitivity

RAW INPUT - The Ultimate Mouse Sensitivity Fix

Disabled Mouse Acceleration, Horizontal/Vertical Parity, Scalable ADS Multiplier, Normalized Sensitivity

This is an "all in one" fix for mouse sensitivity. This is not just a dummy esp to load an ini. The esp is necessary and contains multiple edits to normalize mouse movement. This mod has nothing to do with vsync, fps limits or game performance in general, but if you want to read and try out my findings, head down to the optional performance section.

- Optional files - ADS Sensitivity options of 100%, 50% and 25%. "Immersive Gameplay" & "Horizon" Versions Available.
