✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 268 endorsements and 4,342 downloads.
- Simple single-file install—no complex dependencies.
- Author provides clear step-by-step installation instructions for both Steam and Bethesda.net versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019—may not work with the latest Fallout 76 patches.
- Requires manual INI editing, which can be intimidating for modding newcomers.
- Only a subtle brightness increase; for full brightness you need another mod.
For Fallout 76 players who find the default power armor light too dim but don't want an extreme overhaul. If you're a completionist who wants a slightly better visibility without changing the game's feel, this is a quick fix. Skip if you want a dramatic lighting change or if you're not comfortable editing INI files.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to back up your Fallout76Custom.ini before editing, so you can revert if something goes wrong.
- If you don't have Fallout76Custom.ini, copy Fallout76.ini and rename it—don't edit the original.
- After adding the mod, launch the game to test the light; if it doesn't work, double-check the file name and the comma placement in the INI.
