📋 About This Mod
What Is This Voodoo?
Adds State of Decay 2 style infestations to Fallout 4 that grow over time if left unchecked, where each incremental growth is slightly stronger than the previous level. There are three levels of infestation, just as there are in State of Decay 2. Due to constraints however, this mod will only track up to six active infestations at a time.

Thanks Degenerate Dak for the glowing review!
Is This Mod For You, You Might Wonder?
I think so. But don't take my word for it, take CthulhuRolledaNat20's word for it:
"This mod is amazing, its definitely one of my favorites and a 'keep in my load order' mod, I personally used this with both More Feral Ghouls and FGEP-Feral Ghoul Expansion Pack there's a patch for both FGEP and MFG to work together here. Which made the infestations feel more like State of Decay meets Left 4 Dead in a good way. I also had Feral Nights installed which led to some moments where I'd encounter the random horde of ferals from this mod and the random feral hunters and horde from FN which definitely was quite a fun challenge. My current playthrough (in the spirit of Halloween) is a full on undead apocalypse playthrough and Feral Infestations is a fantastic addition to the other mods I have to make venturing out of the safety of my settlements for supplies a much more unique and fun experience. Great job with this mod joerqc and keep up the amazing work.
This mod does put my settlements' defenses to work and together with the other mods mentioned in my post definitely gives them a run for their money. I have had to craft good armor and even better weapons to arm my settlers with just to ensure they can survive. It's a real BLAST! I love it! I am very excited for the updates to come and the Bloaters :). Keep up the amazing work, and to anyone else reading through the comments and thinking, "Hmm should I get this mod?" The answer is "YES! just do it! You won't regret it, it has turned the Commonwealth from a oddly mostly barren place where not much used to happen to a full on exciting chaotic wasteland."
10 Stars from me."
How Does It All Work?
To get started, simply go to the UTILITY menu of the CHEMLAB and craft the free settings holotape. The mod starts in a disabled state, so you will need to use the holotape to turn it on and to set up the basic settings for the mod. For those who use MCM, the mod does ship with an MCM menu for you to use instead of the holotape, though you aren't required to us
Adds State of Decay 2 style dynamically growing feral infestations to Fallout 4, along with horde events, Bloaters, and Blood Plague. A popular gameplay overhaul with 1,734 endorsements and 173,262 downloads, last updated in January 2023.
