📋 About This Mod
Now back with all art done by the glorious Gil Elvgren! All the art in this pack is done by Gil Elvgren and nobody else, all of this art is legal and free use! Enjoy! After the remake, I did have to cut back a few pictures but I hope I managed to add a little more color for those who wanted it, I will hopefully have better picture packs that aren't pinup related in the future, if anyone has a request let me know!
Pinup Art Done By: Gil Elvgren (March 15, 1914 – February 29, 1980)
This is a set of 'better pictures' that I think look a lot better than the original, it includes pinups and a couple nuka cola adverts. This will replace most of the craftable pictures you can hang in your home and will leave some of the kitty and sailboat pictures as well to help keep a wide selection of pictures to hang on your settlement walls!
If you would like to make a request - feel free to tweet me @JoeTrocious and I will hopefully be able to do anything for you within reason. =)
Replaces the default settlement craftable pictures in Fallout 4 with higher-quality pinup art by Gil Elvgren. A popular visual overhaul for players who want classic mid-century pinup posters in their settlements. With over 10,000 endorsements, it's a community favorite for adding retro flair to builds.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community love—10,988 endorsements and 154k downloads prove it's a go-to for settlement decor.
- Classic pinup art adds a unique retro vibe that fits Fallout's 1950s aesthetic perfectly.
- Lightweight texture swap—no performance hit, just drop-in and enjoy.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015—might not be tested with the latest Fallout 4 updates or next-gen patches.
- Only replaces the craftable pictures—if you wanted new posters or additional variety, this isn't it.
- Art style is very specific—if you're not into pinup art, this mod won't do anything for you.
For settlement builders who want to add a classic 1950s pinup touch to their walls. If you're a fan of retro Americana and want your settlements to feel more like a vintage diner or bar, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for new gameplay mechanics or a wider variety of wall art.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no load order worries.
- Make sure you have the 'Contraptions Workshop' DLC if you're using the craftable pictures from that DLC, otherwise the mod won't apply.
- If you're on PC, you can preview the textures in the mod's file tree before installing to see if you like the art style.
