📋 About This Mod
A few days ago as of writing this, my mother died from a sudden brain haemorrhage. The way I've supported myself for the last 20 years was to do IT and computer stuff for her small business. I have no support system, and I need a new one. I don't want to beg, and I don't want charity. So instead I'll just have to do the one thing I've always been good at, namely, modding.

Welcome to a new type of apocalypse. IE: The ghoulish kind. This mod will make ghouls more common to cater to the needs of those of us who prefer a Fallout 4 experience with lots of shambling corpses. Make way, bloat flies and dogs, you're boring and have no talents. We're replacing your main spawn points with ghouls!
So how does this work?
Simple, it makes ghouls more common in the wasteland. A second version is coming out that will also replace some of the human enemies with even more ghouls for a total ghoul apocalypse. The ghouls used are the vanilla one. They have working AI, level scaling, combat behaviour and so on.
Will this mod impact performance?
Not at all. Vanilla assets all the way. Perfectly optimised.
How is this lore friendly?
That's how.
A basic ghoul spawn mod for Fallout 4 that increases ghoul spawns for a zombie survival experience. With 556 endorsements and 17,277 downloads, it's a popular choice for players seeking more undead threats, though it hasn't been updated since 2016.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place this mod in your load order after any other mods that alter spawns to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable it and let the manager handle the file placement—no manual steps needed.
- Pair with a survival mod to crank up the tension, since more ghouls means more resource drain.
