Fallout 4 is one of those rare games where character customization really takes the cake. There are not only mods to better your character, but even the tiniest details like hair or make-up have gotten mods.
It is like the Sims 4 but set in a post-apocalyptic world. That is why today, we will look at the fallout 4 race mods to give you proper diversification and stretch the boundaries of creativity.
There is a barrage of mods available in the community but picking out quality ones from the heap is a task. But do not fret citizens; we are here to solve that problem.
Fallout 4 Race Mods
Firstly, before tackling all the additional mods focused on various races in the game, we will look at a race customizer that is a versatile pick if you want to change your race but do not have an exact idea of what to choose.
Race Customizer
As the name suggests, the race customizer lets you change your race according to your choices without affecting any of the NPCs in the game. However, it will conflict with mods that do the same thing: change the race. It can change your character’s look entirely by changing their face.
We recommend you try this mod out first and foremost, then look at the other singular mods we suggest. This mod has many technical issues, which have been highlighted in the description. The download link has been given above, so what are you waiting for?
Best fallout 4 custom race mods in the community
1. Vulpine Race Mods
You might have already heard of this races mod from your research online, but its quality of it cannot be denied. It is one of the best mods and has been downloaded more than 70,000+ times. This mod is compatible with almost anything, but even if you have issues, you can contact support at NexusMods.
The lore is that these species are a bio-engineered race that excels at information gathering and close-quarters combat. Basically, it turns the main character into a furry so that you can call this a furry race mod. The details are surprisingly gorgeous, combined with the snouts and realistic-looking nose.
2. Xarna Deathclaw Mutant
Who does not like to be a mutant? Many people would like a badass look of a mutant who can just kill with a glare. But this playable races mod only applies to the females, making them a hybrid mutant/deathclaw. Due to her special race status, she can only wear clothes this mod brings her. You can craft items for her from the table, though.
But you do not need to worry about cosmetics since this pack has clothes, a backpack, pants, skirts, underwear, you name it. Her stats are higher strength and endurance, along with many perks. She is also immune to radiation, poison, fall damage, and more.
3. Anime Race Nanako Chan
Yes, you read that right. You can now be an anime character in Fallout 4. We know that there are a lot of anime fanatics out there who will love these playable races, but the detailing in this mod is surprising. The customization options make the few flaws that are presently negligible, and there is a feature that lets the MC and even the NPCs look like anime characters.
The facial expressions are incredibly detailed, and there are separate mods you can download for the hair and other equipment with which this mod is compatible. The installation instructions for this mod can be found in the description.
4. Anime Race Wakai Chan
If one anime mod was not enough, then here is another kawaii mod you can install just in case the previous one does not work out. But it has advantages and disadvantages, including running speed, carrying weight, better charisma, and agility. The store owners will take advantage of your inexperience if you are young. But your sneaking and pickpocketing skills will increase. Limb dismemberment chances increase, and the enemies do more damage to you.
This is the one disadvantage we can think of; you can also use console commands to change some things with this mod. Click on the mod link to learn more about it.
5. Nanako Chan Bodyslide
These fallout 4 race mods are complementary to the Nanako race one we looked at earlier. It is a bodyslide mod with lots of easy alteration of bodily shape. You can use it to make the main character’s body according to your desire. You will find a changelog and why it was uploaded by clicking on the mod link.
The primary reason is to complement the Nanako mod with something that suits the face and a body editor that does not make a face look awkward. The body physics are also real, so get ready for some good action; we mean gameplay-wise.
6. Lupine
The wolf race of Lupine can make or break the game, depending on your perspective. But there is no doubt that this mod is one of the best integrations in the fallout 4 community due to the immense effort that went behind making it. Although, only players can use this and not the NPCs.
The expressions are accurate, and each facial element is beautifully integrated; there are several other customization options too. In total, there are three outfits you will find; however, there are several plug-ins and issues present that you have to solve manually. The solutions can be found in the mod link itself.
7. Custom Player Race
The customizable player race is one of the best options you can get. Most probably, you will get a different body than everyone else. The wasteland has a lot of characters that look very similar to each other, which is why it integrates many options for your body. Plus, you can easily install and uninstall these mods.
To get more information, look at the mod page’s description and the requirements since you will need to install a couple of additional files with this mod. You can either download it through a mod manager or manually. The outfits will easily fit your body, so it does not require many modifications since it is a straightforward mod.
8. Nanako Male NPC
Why should girls have all the fun? This mod adds a male anime NPC to the game rather than a female one. There are instructions for you to turn your character into a male. That is possible by opening the console and then typing the “slm 14” command without quotation marks. This patch only lets the NPCs turn into anime characters; however, there are no patches that have been tested out on the MCs yet.
Although, there are many other mods you can try if you do not like the aesthetic feel of an anime-type NPC character.
9. Vulpine Race Cross Tech Mask
The vulpine race is unique, and to make that mod addition even better, we are bringing you this beautiful cross-tech mask with detailed textures.
This is an addition to a previous mod which you can download by clicking on this link: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11881.
The cross-tech file is also required because you won’t be able to use this mod without downloading it. After downloading this mod, you can get the mask by going to the Chemistry Station and making it.
It will be named “Techmask Vulpine.” Another scouter goes alongside this mask that we will cover in the next entry on this list.
10. Vulpine Scouter
The first thing anyone can picture when hearing the word “Scouter” is undoubtedly Vegeta. This is the infamous scouter mod we were talking about. It does not exactly tell us the enemy’s power level like Dragon Ball Z, but it helps provide a believable accessory for the Vulpine race.
Although even to install this mod, you should have another mod installed, which is Ruddy88’s Scouter model.
The link to that is here: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10566/.
Some textures have beautiful colors, and they match the ones that are present in the Dragon Ball series.
11. Vulpine Race Glowing Eyes
Glowing eyes are something every one of us wants in real life. Who wouldn’t want to see it in the dark but get bonus points for looking that cool? You will need the Vulpine race mod to make your eyes glow, but we already looked at that mod earlier in this list. The main feature of these eyes is that they glow at night, so it is better to switch to this mod at night.
Although this mod is a good look for your vulpine race MCs, it has only been downloaded more than 3000 times. But the glowing eyes do provide a lot of aesthetics for your characters.
12. Vulpine Race Tail Tuck
It seems this is turning into a vulpine-only list, but we cannot help it, there are too many vulpine-themed mods to cover here, and all of them are very good. That is why we will take it slowly, one by one.
This tail mod adds a trivial but essential factor to your vulpine characters. Many mod editors can quickly help you change how your characters look, and this simple addition complements that. We do not know if the tail wiggles or not, but that would be too much for any mod creator to implement.
13. Nanako Chan Chinese Translation
Do not underestimate the people who play this game since a lot of people play this game in China. You will need the original game files for this mod; however, this translation will not work without them. It also works best if you have downloaded the Nanako chan mod since this is the only Chinese translation you will get.
Although this is not even a necessary mod if you do not understand the language, that is why you do not have lots of space on your hard drive. But this mod won’t occupy much space, so that you will be fine.
14. Player Race Framework
In all essence, this mod allows you to edit and customize characters without affecting all the NPCs. We all know how vast character customization runs in fallout games, so this mod can be the perfect addition since you can do many things other than custom-changing your outfit.
Here are some things you will be able to do: adds a custom race to the game, and there are more body, head, and hand models. There are unique armor models found in the mod as well, along with all of these being compatible for both genders.
15. Nanako Chan – Rex Skeleton
Mod link: chan mod has given us a lot of little mods that are added along with it to create a whole comprehensive reed of anime characters in the game. This is another one of those mods which allow us to further tweak the Nanako chan mod by giving it an extra skeleton that replaces the original one.
You can get more information about this mod in the description, but in essence, this mod tweaks the Zex skeleton to the degree that lets you work with the anime mod we looked at earlier.
16. Project Javelin
This is our hidden gem since it gives us a new race to play with. In essence, this mod contains a race of Anubis theme characters combined with cyborg skeletons. They look badass and resemble someone you never want to mess with.
The detail and coloring in this mod are exquisite, and due to the sheer amount of customization options, you can easily make the mod your own and design them in any way you want. Although there are specific requirements, you will have to fulfill them to use this mod easily. To do that, you need to install certain mods. To get more information about those them, click on the mod link.
17. Vulpine Race NPC Replacer
We have seen enough vulpine-based NPC mods in this list, but we will cover one last one since it makes the NPCs appear as the vulpine race. The previous mods were based around the customization of only the main character, but this one allows you to change the race of the NPCs to a vulpine race. There is just one slight problem for the base game players.
The problem is that you will require all the game’s DLCs. Otherwise, the mod will not work. The installation process is relatively simple, and you can view it by clicking on the mod’s description.
The Conclusion
That is all you need to know about the various fallout 4 race mods. We have listed multiple race-changing mods and certain additions that will amplify the usefulness and utility of these mods.
However, most of them are just cosmetic and do not change any game mechanics, but that is fine since the game has many features to begin with. Happy hunting!
