📋 About This Mod
Increased Weapon Mod Distribution
I was making this during the development of Weapon Mod Fixes but I wasn't really sure about it being a "fix", so I broke it off of that mod and made it this. Makes it easier for compatibility, too!
This mod is pretty simple, it adds a bunch of the missing vanilla game weapon mods to the mod distribution for NPCs, and changes the rate of others. So you'll now see NPCs with all of the sights and receivers that Bethesda didn't allow them to spawn with before, and melee weapons are more likely to have a variety of materials and mods.
Increases the variety of weapon mods found on NPCs in Fallout 4. A lightweight tweak for players who want more diverse loot without overhauling the game. With 519 endorsements and 11,673 downloads, it's a community favorite for loot variety.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved (519 endorsements) with a solid download count (11,673).
- Does exactly what it says: more mods on NPCs, no bloat.
- Last updated in 2019, but still works for many players.
⚠️ Cons
- No updates since 2019, so compatibility with newer game patches is uncertain.
- May conflict with other loot overhaul mods that change NPC inventories.
- Limited to weapon mods only—doesn't touch armor or other loot.
For Fallout 4 players who want more variety in enemy drops without a full loot overhaul. If you're tired of seeing the same mods on raiders and gunners, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive loot system or play with heavy mod lists that already tweak NPC inventories.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 for easy installation and removal.
- Load this mod early in your load order to avoid conflicts with other loot mods.
- Check if your other mods alter NPC inventories—if so, test for conflicts.
