Fallout 4 is a game full of secrets and mysteries and contains a vast world for players to explore. With the help of the modding community, the game has been improved in various aspects. This includes improving the graphics, gameplay, content, and user interface. The game has immense replay value because of how different the outcomes can be due to different choices in the stories and side quests. But after a while, the graphics start to feel degraded and you feel like the game needs a visual overhaul. One of the visual aspects is the lighting, that’s why here are the top 10 lighting mods for the game!
