But I'm not sure if I'll need a program for scripting, or if there are other modding avenues beyond textures, meshes, and scripts that I should be considering also.


And I know that the Creation Kit, Nifscope, and FO4Edit, will also be used (though I don't know what they actually do). I think there may even be a free procedural texture generation program that creates all the information layers as well as the visible layer. I'd like to stick to free options, so I'm assuming something like Gimp for textures, and Blender for meshes. However I'm not sure of what programs I should be expecting to use for modding. Though I admit I don't know what effect adding mods will have compared to the vanilla benchmarks. So knowing what hardware I need to hit particular resolutions and frame rates for playing is pretty straight forward.

TL:DR What programs (preferably free) and hardware are required and/or recommended for the full spectrum of modding Fallout 4?Īs some of you may know I'm hoping to build a new PC soon (from scratch, not an upgrade), so I can join the members of this community and start producing some content (and catch up on my embarrassingly large pile of shame).įinding benchmarks for games is relatively easy. Apologies if this is the incorrect place to post this, but this seems to be 'the most correct' as they recommend on multiple choice tests.
