📋 About This Mod
As of January 2018 we are working hard on adding our extensive new questline. Some information on this page may be obsolete. A new team of professional writers and voice actors are working hard to give you an awesome experience. When we are ready with the main questline, you will find the first stable release of Thompson Island in the Quests category.
Thompson Island is a large quest mod we are working on with a team of dedicated modders. We are releasing the mod in Beta and are hoping for comments and tips on our current work. Thompson Island will NOT be released on Bethesda.net, so you cannot play it on console.
The Story
A security guard from Clinton City has sent out a distress signal to Boston asking for mercenaries. On arrival you learn that the city has been taken over by ghouls. They seem to grow in numbers and no one has a clue where they come from or how to stop them. Your task is to find the source of the ghoul plague and exterminate it.
During your stay you'll meet three factions. One of them is currently in charge, but severly weakened. The other two factions see this as the perfect chance to take over. It's up to you to decide which faction should be in charge of the city and what will be best for the citizens.
Background
Thompson Island is an actual island in the Massachussets Bay and is situated next to Spectacle Island. A lot of things in this mod, like the shape of the island, are heavily based on the real Thompson Island.
How to get there
The first quest will start automatically and will tell you listen to the Moon Island Distress Signal on your Pip-Boy. You'll get a new map marker to the "South Eastern Lighthouse". You can enter the sailboat there to get to Moon Island. You can get the key to Clinton City from the toolbox next to the city gate during the BETA phase.
The quick way to start is by using the console and typing "coc TIQ01Start" to get to the South Eastern Lighthouse or "coc TIMoonIslandHarbor" to get to the start of the mod in the new worldspace.

⚠️ Cons
- It's a beta, so expect bugs, unfinished quests, and rough edges that could break your playthrough.

- Being an old version, you might miss out on fixes or content that were added in later betas.
For Fallout 4 explorers who crave new lands and don't mind testing unfinished content. If you're a completionist who wants polished, final releases, wait for the full version or skip this beta. This is for players who enjoy seeing mods in development and are willing to tolerate bugs for the experience.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a beta, save your game before entering the new islands to avoid losing progress if you hit a game-breaking bug.
- Check the mod's forum or comments for known issues and workarounds before diving in.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting vanilla files.
