Been modding Fallout 4 for about 4 days now, and I've been using "Vivid Weather". I like it a lot, but this mod has so many downloads. Anyone know which is better?
The audio is one of the most important parts of my gaming experience, especially in games such as TES and Fallout. So thank you very much for this well put together list of mods, as well as an amazing video. I would've come sooner, but just upgraded my PC from not being able to handle Fallout 4 at all, to being more than capable of handling Fallout 4 + ENB + other graphics/texture mods.
Quiet dogmeat mod is a bad idea. The lil fecker always runs off for me kind of. So having those paw sounds is needed if i want to know that the bastard did not run off
Bro you the best mod showcase. Some times I find a mod and don’t know what it is and I’ll click other videos of what I think it is but when I watch your videos there always the mod I was looking for.
(Apologies if this is no longer relevant to you) 'Chatterbox radio' provides a radio channel with the ambient chatter normally relegated to the Combat Zone, and the ability to build a radio for it: set it anywhere you feel it is needed.
A Koubitz mod video? Why, that's exactly what I wanted for Christmas! Merry Christmas/happy holidays to you Koubitz, as well as the rest of y'all in the comments :3
Everyone who reads this with the reverb and ambiance mod - Get a fully charged laser musket (the 6 shot windup) and fire it at night with full effects volume during no rain or crazy weather. The vanilla sound with that mod is honestly one of my favorites, and it sounds menacing.
I'm generally really skeptical about gunfire mods, but wow, this sounds great, especially the hunting rifle! I also don't miss the cash register xp sound in the slightest. It pulls the intensity right out of the game, especially in fights.
I swear I heard a quaver in the voice when mentioning building a settlement for hours and listening to Diamond City Radio. Glad there are audio mods for the radio so I don't have to look for a mod that lets you murder Travis.
The reverb overhaul is awesome for gun sounds, but the ambience just sounds too windy. Hearing loud roaring winds while the flags in my settlement are barely moving is annoying
I don't know if this comment will get seen since its an older video but I am having some trouble. I know not providing the full load order doesn't help a whole lot, but I have the "Fallout Sound Overhaul Redux" on Xbox (series x if that matters) and my NPC footsteps are WICKED loud. the footsteps audio slider only affects my character and not NPCs. I have disabled, deleted, and/or reorganized my audio mods and mods in general (even trying the FSO Redux at the absolute bottom) and the footsteps are still very loud. I would disable/delete the FSO redux mod itself and the footstep issue would be gone. However it is the only general sound overhaul mod I want to use as it is good for literally everything else (IMO) except for the darn footsteps. I had tried downloading mods that alter footsteps specifically and FSO footsteps were overwriting the other mod's audio even if the other mod was below FSO in my load order. I had downloaded a mod that added more audio sliders with one of which specifically being NPC footsteps and that did the trick BUT none of the audio sliders stick due to how the game was made and so I would have to redo my audio settings every time I open the game again. There is no mod that I could find in the xbox mod menu or bez' website that only effects NPC footstep volume so I am very lost on what to do. I put a lot of time into the load order I made and these footsteps are the only issue I've had. I am sure it is probably me being stupid and overlooking something but I can't figure it out. If anyone has any suggestions at all, please let me know. I have tried a lot of different things but I know someone else may be able to correct me.
Have you seen a mod that increases volume settings? I keep looking for something to boost the radio volume on the pipboy. There are plenty of threads asking the same but they're years old now, before SE released.
Is it me or are your weapons a little further from the camera than in vanilla? After finishing I saw the pip-boy was obviously a lot farther... what is that mod?
I've all of them except Towbie. Will get it soon. Add a mod that adds ambient noises to this game and let me tell you folks.... The mods on this list will make the game a whole different one!
To many music mods. I wish someone would make a mod with legit wasteland/wilderness sounds. Wind, leaves rustling, birds, wolves howling at night, crickets, owls, those creepy loon birds that come out at night, background explosions, gunshots, thunder in the distance before a storm and not as soon as it starts raining, screams, empty cans rolling down the street, glass breaking etc. There's only one mod that adds some of that as far as I know but you hardly tell a difference.
If anyone is watching now, Instead of True Storms Id recommend Vivid weathers. Ive been hearing more and more lately that True storms is out of date and causing some issues with certain mods, but hasnt been updated.
i know i'm late to the party but grenades really do sound like that its not a massive explosion it really is just kind of a "poof" i don't really remember ever hearing one echo like that a claymore does though also no the vanilla guns don't sound unrealistic if you go on my channel ive got clear audio of a pair of .50 cals firing
you might not have noticed my comment in one of your previous video, but what mods do you use for character's feature,face, whatever are in regards of one's character? thank you
Lmao at the "realistic" laser musket sounds. Still though greats sound improvements overall definitely considering it, love the auto pipe pistol firin off.
Lol I work as a RSO at my local indoor gun range and it's loud as fuck with just concrete I could't imagine what a gun shot would sound like inside of a vault
Been modding Fallout 4 for about 4 days now, and I've been using "Vivid Weather". I like it a lot, but this mod has so many downloads. Anyone know which is better?
Does anyone know if “Reverb and Ambience Overhaul” conflict with “Cinematic Sounds - Explosions”? since both of those mods affects the sounds of grenades?
If you use a mod manager (Mod Manager, NMM or Forge) there is usually a way to load certain mods before others. This means that, if say you wanted to keep RAO’s sounds but wanted CS-E’s explosions, you would load RAO first, then load CS-E after. This means that the RAO stuff gets loaded first, then the CE-S stuff so it overrides the grenade explosions. If you don’t use a mod manager, try searching around for help, I’m not sure how to help with that.
It shouldn’t conflict, but take this with a grain of salt: The reverb mod most likely just boosts certain effects of the gunfire, instead of straight up replacing the gun sounds. My advice would be to load Towbie’s first in your mod manager, then the Reverb mod.
Is there a mod to get rid of Darcy from Diamond city? Shes been pestering me ever since i killed her husband. Poor guy was miserable anyways, she was cheating on him.
Hey Koubitz, Great flippin vids girl! Its nice to see people cover audio overhauls. I just tried this 1 out today for a few hrs and its pretty damn good imo. I did not like that Digital nightmare or any other overhauls and usually just stayed vanilla with sounds of silence as the vanilla ambience music is kinda annoying after awhile. This 1 and obviously Reverb and Ambiance Overhaul are a great combo! Keep up the good work. www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12111/?
Ironically, most of the enhanced weapons now sound more unrealistic. If you ever fired a real hunting shotgun, you know that the loud boom that you’d expect from games and movies is completely fake. Most shotguns sound surprisingly “flat”.
Look, I love Green in the Commenwealth. It's pretty and lore friendly. But why would DC be so green? Have you been to any festival? After a day, the grass is just... gone. Besides, it looks ugly anyways.
Hey Koubitz! Have you checked out the Horizon mod at all? (www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/17374/?) I'm using it for my current playthrough and I really like it. It's a complete overhaul and rebalance of survival mode and since you're such a big fan of survival, I thought I'd point it out to you incase you haven't seen it. (And plus... I haven't come across a review of it...) Thank you for the video as well. I simply love your videos. Your mod reviews are very professional and your LPs are so fuckin' hilarious. They've made me feel better since I've been ill for the pass two days. Also, Merry Christmas!
This game should be played without any music. In real life you don`t have music or don`t need music when you want to hear the dogs approach or the ghouls wake up.
@[Koubitz], Thank you for your videos. Although, I want to ask one important thing. Videos you make are imbalanced in terms of sounds of game and your voice like in this video.Ambience level is low and I need to increase my sound output level and then I hear your loud voice… Anyway, this is just friendly suggestion and nothing more.
Welp... here we go again.... *modlist gets bigger*
OGT-Bone Saaaaame!
213 and counting
118 on xbox. Starting to get a bit buggy Haha but a little more tweaking and should be okay
I remember this problem with New Vegas.
I prefer the one that changes dogmeat's bark to say fuck
Happy Holidays, Kouties!
Happy Holidays, Kou!
:D
please keep the compilation mod series up!! big help can you do for console as well
Can you also mod on ps4?
Been modding Fallout 4 for about 4 days now, and I've been using "Vivid Weather". I like it a lot, but this mod has so many downloads. Anyone know which is better?
4:21
Me: Oh, time for the double barrel shotgun
*fires the gun 4 times in a row*
Me: Wait. That's illegal...
The audio is one of the most important parts of my gaming experience, especially in games such as TES and Fallout. So thank you very much for this well put together list of mods, as well as an amazing video.

Thank you for making this video these mods will go to my mod-list :D
Bro you the best mod showcase. Some times I find a mod and don’t know what it is and I’ll click other videos of what I think it is but when I watch your videos there always the mod I was looking for.
Great video, and agreed that sound and ambiance is highly underrated in just how immersive it is when done correctly
What I want is a SFX mod that'll make settlements sound more lively like sound like actual people talking and people working
SIm Settlement 2 has that already in it as soon as there are resident plots around you
(Apologies if this is no longer relevant to you)
'Chatterbox radio' provides a radio channel with the ambient chatter normally relegated to the Combat Zone, and the ability to build a radio for it: set it anywhere you feel it is needed.
@@Xiaolruc yeah I know how the mod works I used it a few times I was just saying what would be cooler
An overlooked weather mod is Natural Atmospheric Commonwealth though it does need an ENB to get the best benefit. Glad i found this channel.
The contrast in style between your mod and playthrough videos tickles me.
12:34 Did someone say... *MxR voice* IMMERSION?
A Koubitz mod video? Why, that's exactly what I wanted for Christmas!
Merry Christmas/happy holidays to you Koubitz, as well as the rest of y'all in the comments :3
Awesome video compilation of sound improvements to the game. Thank you for this!
Other audio mods that I'd recommend - Project Reality Footsteps and COTC - A Dark and Eerie Menu Cinematic and Music Soundtrack Overhaul
All I want for Christmas is you Koubitz.
Oh and may I ask what grass mod you are using throughout this video? (:
I think that's grasslands performance but I'm not sure
Alex Burch thanks man (:
I really like the sound of your voice. :D Great work! thank you so much! I'm really excited to install your chosen mods! :) Take care!
Can't live without the Reverb mod.
Suppressors on weapons like the Mosin Nagant mod make it sounds so terrifying and satisfying.
I use the Winter season mod with the Pilgrim mod along with True Storms. My own spooky winter-wonderland.
Man I love me some nice sounds
I love Towbie's RWS, been using it since forever!
Another informative video! Right to the point! Thank you Koubitz! Very much appreciated!
ur a good hooman bean
thanks
thanks
@@bean8933 your comment is underrated
So many great sound mods!!! ngl I came from the radio mod page on nexus, but omg I have like 8 new mods now.
Everyone who reads this with the reverb and ambiance mod -

The laser musket sounds the coolest 4:39
merry christmas!!!!
vanilla fo4 included the option by turning the generator on and off gives you a diff sound each time. (some are much less noisier)
Hi, nice channel! I'm glad that I discovered it. Now in 2019 using more than 300 mods :-D
I'm generally really skeptical about gunfire mods, but wow, this sounds great, especially the hunting rifle!
I also don't miss the cash register xp sound in the slightest. It pulls the intensity right out of the game, especially in fights.

The reverb overhaul is awesome for gun sounds, but the ambience just sounds too windy. Hearing loud roaring winds while the flags in my settlement are barely moving is annoying
did you just fire 3 times with a double barrel..... what is this power and how do i get it
there's also a mod where it makes the radio songs sound like it's coming out from a radio instead of sounding like mp3/flac.
Hell Koubitz, started following about 3 week ago. Like your videos, keep up the good work. Merry Christmas 😊😊😊😊😊
Great vid and modlist and I'll probably use a few. Now I'd like to see some mods that turn FO4 into a first-person RPG
LOL. Im the 53.000 subscriber congratulations :D very good Video. P.S. Im frome Germany, anyone too?

I had the same issue in Skyrim with an amazing sound mod, the joy of modding

you are da best, thank you.

I've been using "nam radio" and it's not that immersive but I think it still fits in pretty well I've been lovein it
Well, time to decrease my space on my Xbox
I've all of them except Towbie. Will get it soon. Add a mod that adds ambient noises to this game and let me tell you folks.... The mods on this list will make the game a whole different one!

This was posted 4 years ago so I don’t know if anyone is gonna see this but can you use all these mods together?
your voice make's my little guy a strong big guy
you might not have noticed my comment in one of your previous video, but what mods do you use for character's feature,face, whatever are in regards of one's character? thank you
The voices sound staticy when inside with any ambient mods i put
if you can voice act Nora, this will be the best mod ever
What about a mod that make craftable radios louder?
Reverb and ambiance overhaul is such a beautiful mod but it's so outdated now too many bugs:(
Would like a mod that allows you to pick up cars while wearing power armor just to take to a settlement and dismantle it
Hey Koubitz do you have a mod list for fallout 4
Do ambience overhaul and towie's sounds work together?
thank you youtuber
Good stuff. Thanks.
Can you get strike by lightning? In the true storm mod ?
WRVR Radio mod is really great
Lmao at the "realistic" laser musket sounds.
Still though greats sound improvements overall definitely considering it, love the auto pipe pistol firin off.
i had also installed P.A.M.S but it did drive me crazy inside the prydwen! >.
Lol I work as a RSO at my local indoor gun range and it's loud as fuck with just concrete I could't imagine what a gun shot would sound like inside of a vault
I need a mod that provides my character with a set of eyes and ears

I wish some one would come out with a fog horn for Far Harbor.
Cool video but for the Grenades I couldn't hear the difference between vanilla and modded
They had very different explosion sounds
It basically just lasted longer.
I think he means the second one, and I agree, not much different, but the one included in the reverb mod is good.
Does the Reverb and ambience mod work alongside the Towbies realistic weapon sounds? No confliction messing up the game?
It shouldn’t conflict, but take this with a grain of salt:
The reverb mod most likely just boosts certain effects of the gunfire, instead of straight up replacing the gun sounds.
My advice would be to load Towbie’s first in your mod manager, then the Reverb mod.
I gotta start merging my mods.
Do all these mods work on PS4 too?
Are you going to go back to frost vids?
Immersive babbles that’s all I heard and I’m going to thumbs up it for that
Wow, this video is Intense....
All of us know that the Oh Peice of candy mod is the shit.
Is there a mod to get rid of Darcy from Diamond city? Shes been pestering me ever since i killed her husband. Poor guy was miserable anyways, she was cheating on him.
I couldn't hear dogmeats footsteps in both examples :(
Does this mod affect performance? Cuzdid noticed a small drop in the fps during the comparison with mod

Just FTR, generators are quite loud. Even small ones. In real life, of course.
Im subbing

YEAH!!
*Ahem* Realistic sound of laser musket?
And here I am again :) Bethesda games truly continue giving
The modded gun sounds are too echoic, they sound like someones shooting at you rather then you shooting
My game without any sounds! What i must do?
Bethesda needs to add more suff for fo4. especially for ps4.
All of you put the money in the bag and get on the ground now!
