📋 About This Mod

This mod adds Fallout 3 style Plasma Grenades and Mines to Fallout 4.

There are 2 variations of the files, along with 1 optional file:

  • []Option 1 - Replacer: Replaces all Fallout 4 Plasma Grenades and Mines with the Classic version. No .esp required.

    []Option 2 - Intergrated: Adds Classic Plasma Grenades and Mines to Fallout 4, leaving Vanilla Fallout 4 Plasma Grenades/Mines unchanged. These will all appear at vendors and in loot lists, and the Classic Plasma Mines/Grenades are also craftable. Classic Plasma Grenades will also create a small plasma impact effect when they hit objects, similar to Fallout 3. Includes .esp.

    • Optional File: This is a tiny .esp that will add small plasma impacts to Plasma Grenades when they collide with objects, similar to how they worked in Fallout 3. This is included by default in the 'Integrated' files, so only use this .esp if you are using the 'Replacer' files and you also want the plasma impacts.

✨ Key Features

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with 334 endorsements and nearly 25k downloads.
  • Gives you the classic Fallout 3 look for explosives, which is a nice nostalgia trip.
  • Flexible install: you can either replace the vanilla grenades/mines or keep them separate.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in January 2022, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches or DLC.
  • Only adds two items (grenade and mine), so if you're expecting a full arsenal, this isn't it.
  • Potential conflicts with other mods that alter the same vanilla explosives, so check your load order.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout 4 players who miss the classic Plasma Grenades and Mines from Fallout 3 and want that visual style back. It's also great for modders who want a simple, clean addition without overhauling the whole explosive system. Skip if you're looking for new mechanics or a wide variety of weapons.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or NMM, just download and install; it's a simple file drop.
  • Decide whether you want the replacer or standalone version before installing—replacers will overwrite vanilla items, so make sure you don't have other mods changing those.
  • Test in a new game or after clearing your inventory to see the new items clearly, especially if you're using the standalone version.
