Forgotten Valley Is a New DLC-Sized Fan Expansion for Fallout 4

Modder ThisMalkavian has released a new fan-made expansion for Fallout 4 called Forgotten Valley. This DLC-sized mod adds a brand-new area for players to explore. The new region is filled with enemies to fight, secrets to uncover, and new places to discover. The mod also includes a questline that players can follow as they explore Forgotten Valley and learn more about its mysteries.

According to the modder, the main story focuses on exploration and discovery rather than branching story paths, complex dialogue choices, or nonlinear quests. While exploring the Valley, players will meet a small number of friendly NPCs, merchants, and characters tied to quests. The mod is designed for high-level characters. Players should bring strong equipment and be well prepared before entering Forgotten Valley, as the challenges can be tough.

As an optional plugin and mod resource, an expanded version of the mod is included. In this expanded version, Forgotten Valley has been increased in size by nearly 100%, featuring new locations, interiors, and generated LOD. However, this version is unfinished and should be considered a work in progress.

Since Forgotten Valley adds new free content to the game, I suggest giving it a go. You can download it from this link.

If you are into Fallout 4, you might also want to check out these other mods for it. For instance, there is a LOD mod that reduces distant object/shadow/texture pop-ins. Then we have the Disk Cache Enabler Mod. There’s also a mod that adds ragdoll physics and collisions to dead bodies. Another amazing mod is this one that fixes the game’s long loading times. DirectHit is a mod that overhauls the AI of enemies. And let’s not forget this mod that adds real locational damage to all enemies. We also have this mod that adds to the game 10 driveable cars/vehicles with Havok physics, as well as this Enhanced Movement Mod. Modders have even brought Fallout: New Vegas’ skill system to it.

To improve the graphics or performance, you can use the following mods. If you don’t like this latest HD mod, you can either download this 8K Texture Pack or this 41GB 4K Texture Pack, which optimizes all 40,962 textures. There’s also a mod that improves the faces of over 1450 NPCs. Plus, there is a mod that adds support for NVIDIA DLSS 2, AMD FSR 2, and Intel XeSS. And let’s not forget the free AMD FSR 3.0 Frame Gen Mod.

America Rising 2 is another fan DLC/expansion mod that integrates the Enclave faction into the main story with 24 main quests. Hunter’s Abyss and Caves Of The Commonwealth are two other fan expansion mods. Let’s also not forget Fallout London, which looks promising. Misery Island is another DLC-sized fan expansion. You can also download Sim Settlements 2 – Chapter 3, Whispering Hills, which is a cool Silent Hill mod, and The Wilderness Mod. Plus, there is a horror quest mod that is inspired by Lovecraft, Resident Evil, and Dead Space. A few months ago, we also shared a brand new dark quest mod, called Project A.R.E.S. Let’s also not forget Atom’s Retribution, which offers 24+ hours of gameplay and 40+ new quests. Fallen World is another cool mod for Fallout 4. This is said to offer the hardest survival experience for it. Oh, and the Mass Effect Evolution Mod is once again available for download.

Have fun!
