📋 About This Mod

All this mod does is alter the textures by replacing the default Preservation Shlter Files (Below) with my own versions of the files.

Replaces the default files FalloutShelter_d.dds, FalloutShelterDoor_d.dds, & FalloutShelterExtras_d.dds without changing the file names, material files or meshes.

This is strictly a texture replacer.

Download files, Click Install, Makes sure file is loaded after any mods or texture pack that edit the files above.

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 169 endorsements and 42,970 downloads.
  • Lightweight and easy to install—just drop-in texture files.
  • Fills a specific niche for players who want a grittier, more atmospheric wasteland.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects Pulowski shelters, so the overall game world remains unchanged.

  • Last updated in April 2023—may not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 updates or DLC.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout 4 players who miss the dark, oppressive tone of Fallout 3 and New Vegas and want to tone down the game's vibrant colors.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a texture mod, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 makes uninstalling easier.
  • If you're using other texture mods that affect Pulowski shelters, load order matters—place this mod after them to ensure it takes priority.
  • Check the mod's comments section for any user reports about compatibility with the current game version, as the mod hasn't been updated since 2023.
