📋 About This Mod
The furniture in the Pre-War era is too bright, and the color gives off a cartoon vibe to me. Here I re-texture the furniture, cabinets, etc. of the Pre-War time for a much more modern and realistic approach using materials from real-world items. Best used with cip3000's "Project Modern House" mod.
My goal is to replace all of the textures, bitmaps, and normal map with higher resolution versions of each Pre-War piece of furniture, cabinets, walls, etc.

If you haven’t done so already, you first need to edit a line in the Fallout4.ini for the game to read loose files.
- []Go to:- ……Documents\My Games\Fallout4 Locate the Fallout4.ini
Change this to sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, TEXTURES\
- []Next, you will need to extract the textures folder from the archive you just downloaded to your Fallout 4 Data Folder.
Project Modern House - adds Pre-War models, objects, etc. to the Post-War world.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,473 endorsements and nearly 150k downloads—clearly a hit.
- Gives Pre-War interiors a much-needed gritty, realistic overhaul that fits the wasteland vibe.
- 4K textures mean crisp details if your rig can handle it.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015—might not be optimized for newer game patches or DLC.
- 4K textures are VRAM-hungry; low-end systems may see performance hits.
- No screenshots or install instructions in the description, so you're flying blind until you try it.
For Fallout 4 players who think the Pre-War sections look too clean and colorful, and want a more grounded, realistic aesthetic. If you're into visual overhauls and have a decent GPU, this is a solid pick. Skip if you prefer the original bright look or want gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex or NMM.
- Make sure to enable archive invalidation in your ini files if textures don't show up.
- If you're using other texture mods, load order matters—put this one after to ensure it takes priority.
