📋 About This Mod
Are you tired of walking at a snail's pace in this game? If so, then this small mod may be for you. It increases the player's walking speed by 20%, but does not alter the running or sneaking movement speeds.
Update: I have had a number of comments that the speed is still too slow, so I have added two additional files, increasing walking speed by 30% and 40% respectively. Choose the one that suits you. If you already have the augmenter equipped and change the file you are using, you may need to unequip and re-equip the augmenter to change the speed.
How it Works
In Vault 111, on the table by the Overseer's bed, you will find a small device called a 'walking augmentation'. Simply pick up this device and equip it. It does not occupy any armour slots, so will not affect your equipped apparel.
I have attached a short video showing the location of the augmenter and a side-by-side comparison of walking and running speeds both with and without the device.
Valdacil's Item Sorting
A compatilbility patch for Valdacil's Item sorting has been added. Credit to MisterFlames for this file. This patch works with all of the main files.
Requirements
Just requires base Fallout 4.
Increases player walking speed by 20%, 30%, or 40% without affecting running or sneaking. A simple quality-of-life tweak for players who find default walking too slow. Popular with 805 endorsements and over 25k downloads, though last updated in 2017.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 805 endorsements and 25k downloads
- Simple, focused tweak that does exactly what it says
- Three speed options let you pick your preferred pace
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017, so may not be compatible with newer game versions

- Potential conflicts with other movement or animation mods that alter player speeds
For players who find default walking speed too slow and want a simple, adjustable boost. Great for exploration-heavy playthroughs where you spend a lot of time on foot. Skip if you're looking for comprehensive movement overhauls or changes to running/sneaking.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Choose the percentage increase that feels right for your playstyle—20% is subtle, 40% is noticeable.
- If you use a mod manager, install this like any other mod; if manual, just drop the files into your Data folder.
- Test in-game after installing to ensure the speed feels balanced with your other mods.
