📋 About This Mod
Realistic Retextures for all Fallout4 Fish!
Choose either the healthy or unhealty version of the Commonwealth Fish! (check out the comparison pics)
The Far Harbor Fish textures are included in both files - even if you don't have the DLC so far you can use this mod without any problems!
(and as soon as you install the DLC the Retextures will show up for the Mackerel and Haddock in your game too.)
I hope you'll enjoy your new realistic fish ingame (and become aware that they are in a lot of locations, not just on the shore).
When you take screenshots of them it would be great if you add them here on the mod page
> I want to see how they look in your game + with the Reshade/ENB that you use! :)
INSTALLATION
Use the NMM! If you want to install it manually, just download and unzip the file,
then drag the data folder into your main Fallout4 directory.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 7,320 endorsements and 379k downloads
- Gives the wasteland's fish a realistic, high-definition makeover
- Choice between healthy and irradiated fish lets you match your game's vibe
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — might not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches or next-gen update
- Purely cosmetic — no gameplay changes, so if you want new fish mechanics, this isn't it
- Only covers fish — other creatures and environmental textures are untouched
For Fallout 4 players who love environmental immersion and want to make the Commonwealth's waters look more believable. If you're a screenshot enthusiast or modder building a realistic wasteland, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for gameplay overhauls or don't care about fish textures.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture mod, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2.
- If you have Far Harbor, make sure to install the Far Harbor version too, otherwise those fish will stay vanilla.
- Check your load order — texture mods usually work fine anywhere, but placing it after other environment overhauls can prevent conflicts.
