📋 About This Mod
___________________________________________________________
They are advertised on this mod's page without my consent, and most mod lists with Horizon will not even remotely work correctly with Horizon. You cannot just jam Horizon into a list with incompatible and unbalanced mods and expect thousands of data conflicts and hundreds of gameplay mechanics to work correctly.
The only official mod list for Horizon right now is Greb's "Official Horizon" list on Wabbajack. Otherwise, I recommend to follow Horizon's installation directions and install it via MO2.
Always make sure mods are compatible with Horizon, and/or have a working patch. Horizon is designed as a brand new framework for Fallout 4, and needs to be treated as such, if you wish to get the best experience. Just because your game loads up, doesn't mean there isn't hundreds or even thousands of things broken with your mod list.

Horizon
is a very large full-scale overhaul of Fallout 4 that rebalances and expands all gameplay.
It contains thousands of changes, redesigned systems, and new additions to very carefully balance EVERYTHING together.
Horizon is heavily focused and balanced around Survival Mode, however it can be used with any difficulty mode if you wish.
What the heck is Architect?
Architect is the engine/framework for Horizon, contained in an ESM file. Architect can actually be used without Horizon if you wish. In Horizon v1. 9+, the installer menu will allow you to choose to install Architect by itself.
Why would you use Architect without Horizon?
While it's not recommended, installing Architect without Horizon, allows players to use many of the features of Horizon, without effecting Fallout 4's main data. Architect by itself is 99% compatible with most mods, and contains no FO4 overrides. While I highly recommend everyone try the full version of Horizon, using Architect by itself gives players more options (for example: if they choose to run a large list of mods that may be incompatible with Horizon.)
Please note that Architect by itself (without Horizon), is largely untested. Player feedback will be necessary to iron out any problems.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 24,515 endorsements and 1.3 million downloads show this mod is battle-tested.
- Comprehensive overhaul: thousands of changes mean a fresh, deep experience for veterans.
- Active development: last updated December 2025, so it's still being maintained.
⚠️ Cons
- Massive scope can be overwhelming for new players—expect a steep learning curve.
- Overhauls often conflict with other mods; you'll need to plan your load order carefully.
For Fallout 4 veterans who want a fresh, challenging, and deeply rebalanced playthrough. If you're tired of vanilla's balance issues and want a comprehensive overhaul, this is for you. Skip if you prefer light-touch mods or are new to the game—this is a major commitment.
