📋 About This Mod
Tired of Better Recoil, Exceptional Damage or Poor Range? Want to know how much a Dense Chestpiece actually reduces explosive damage? Try some actual numbers on your mods!
Better Mod Descriptions is a UI overhaul for Fallout 4 that replaces vague mod names like 'Better Recoil' with precise numerical stats, showing exact damage, range, and explosive resistance values. With 29,580 endorsements and nearly a million downloads, it's a community staple for players who want clarity in their weapon and armor mods.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (29,580 endorsements) — this is the go-to for stat clarity.
- Nearly a million downloads (967,758) prove it's been battle-tested by the community.
- Kills the guesswork — no more wondering if 'Exceptional Damage' is worth it.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — may not cover mods from later DLCs or updates.
- Only affects descriptions, not actual stats — you still need to compare numbers yourself.
- No explicit compatibility notes for other UI mods, so conflicts are possible.
For Fallout 4 players who min-max their gear and want to know exactly what each mod does without alt-tabbing to a wiki. Skip if you prefer the game's original flavor text or if you're on a mod list that already includes stat-overhaul UI mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Vortex to keep your load order clean.
- If you use other UI mods, load Better Mod Descriptions after them to ensure its text overrides.
- Check the mod's forum posts for community patches if you have DLC mods that aren't covered.
