10 Video Game Mods That Restored Essential Features
4. Fallout 4 - The Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch
Bethesda has become somewhat notorious for buggy releases that are quickly fixed by the passionate modding community. Fallout 4 was a particularly infamous example of this in recent years, and the community's response was just as swift and impressive.
Boasting over 4.1 million downloads, The Unofficial Fallout Patch fixed a whole host of bugs that were not caught by the official day-one patch from Bethesda. The way this restores essential features is fairly standard for mods of Bethesda games (the team having worked on patches for New Vegas and Skyrim before it). A lot of bugs in these games tend to be relatively game breaking, in particular often snapping essential campaign quests.
By providing some essential post-release fixes, the modding team were able to restore game functionality to lots of different players, also aiding with FPS drops and crashes in particularly taxing areas of post-apocalyptic Boston.
