📋 About This Mod
Adds 15 Armor, 12 Weapon, and 1 Power Armor Legendary Effect mods to FO4. This mod is standalone, but will need a mod that allows the addition and/or removal of Legendary Mods from weapons and armor if you want to craft them. Requires Nuka World and Far Harbor DLC for some effects to work.
All mods have a 2-3 perk requirement to craft them, as the majority of them have balanced yet powerful effects.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 971 endorsements and over 23K downloads
- Adds a decent chunk of new legendary effects (28 total) for armor, weapons, and power armor
- Still relevant for modded playthroughs, last updated June 2023
⚠️ Cons
- No detailed list of the specific effects, so you're going in blind until you test them
- Only one power armor effect might leave power armor enthusiasts wanting more
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter legendary effect lists or crafting menus
For Fallout 4 players who've exhausted the vanilla legendary effects and want more variety in their crafting. If you're into min-maxing or just like collecting unique gear, this adds options. Skip if you're not into crafting or prefer overhaul mods that change the whole legendary system.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the required DLCs (if any) or the mod might not work—check the mod page for details.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to avoid overwriting files and keep your load order clean.
- Test the new effects on a spare piece of gear before committing to a full build, since the description doesn't list what each effect does.
