Uranium fever’s got us climbing the walls again, and with Fallout Season 2 premiering December 17, the symptoms are setting in. So, while we wait to see what’s next for Lucy, Maximus, and The Ghoul, there’s no better cure than revisiting the wasteland through the mods and collections that have kept it alive all these years.
Here are just a few fun suggestions to help you get back into that familiar wasteland mindset - so, why try some of these mods, endorse your favourites, and jump back in with us?

Fallout: New California by Radian-Helix Media Before the Courier’s story began, there was Vault 18. Fallout: New California is a massive, fully voiced prequel to New Vegas that sends you into the heart of a new conflict high in the San Bernardino Mountains.
You play as the kid from Vault 18 - an orphan drawn into a web of rival factions, secrets, and the growing threat of the Enclave. What starts as a single choice inside the Vault spirals into war, pushing you out into a sprawling new worldspace filled with branching quests, companion options, and moral fallout at every turn.
It’s cinematic, unpredictable, and pure Fallout energy from start to finish, complete with a detailed installation guide to get you exploring New California without the usual modding headaches.

A World of Pain by Dj MystroTransforms Fallout: New Vegas into a far deadlier, denser world. This mod drops over 170 new locations across the Mojave - abandoned factories, twisted sewers, and gas stations packed with enemies, loot, and surprises. What were once quiet stretches of desert become sprawling combat zones and treasure hunts, turning exploration itself into a challenge.
This mod truly changes how you play. Exploration becomes tense, unpredictable, and genuinely rewarding. You’ll find yourself stocking up, scouting ahead, and treating every encounter like it might be your last.
Honestly, this is one of those mods that makes the whole game feel new again.

Atomic Radio & Tales from the Commonwealth by Kris Takahashi Breathe new life into Fallout 4 with this seamless mix of storytelling and atmosphere. Created by Kris Takahashi – now a Senior Quest Designer at Bethesda – these mods weave new quests, companions, and encounters naturally into the world, all fully voiced and bursting with personality.
Alongside it comes Atomic Radio, a true gem of a project. Its pre-war broadcasts are filled with old-world dramas, lore-friendly ads, and vintage shows that pull you deeper into Fallout’s world.

VeryLastKiss’s New New Vegas If you’re itching to revisit the Mojave with New Vegas feeling fresh again, VeryLastKiss’s New New Vegas is one of the smoothest ways to jump back in. This carefully curated collection pulls together hundreds of community mods that enhance visuals, fix long-standing bugs, refine combat and survival systems, and add tons of quality-of-life improvements - all while keeping the game faithful to its original tone. The result is a modernised, stable, and beautifully polished version of New Vegas that still feels like the classic you remember, just sharper, smoother, and far more fun to explore.

Fusion City Rising by Recluse and Thuggysmurf What do you get when you mix Fallout 4 with Cyberpunk 2077? Fusion City Rising - a radioactive fever dream of neon lights. Hidden beneath Boston, this sprawling metropolis hums with life: a 15-story nightclub, fight arenas, a player home, restaurants, art galleries and more.
An entire metropolis hidden beneath Boston’s ruins. New factions, fully voiced companions, and terminals revealing a twisted backstory that ties Fallout 4 into the events of Fallout 3 and the fate of the Lone Wanderer.
These are just a few of the incredible things fans have built, and there’s still plenty of room in the wasteland for your ideas, too. Got a favourite we didn’t mention? Share it in the comments!
