Fallout 4: 10 Most Important Mods Every Player Needs

4. Improved Maps With Visible Roads

Admit it, without the Pip-Boy's incredibly useful map and compass, every last Vault Dweller in each game would probably have got hopelessly lost, wandered around in a circle for five weeks, and finally end up being chewed to death by a squad of Mole Rats.

In any case, teleporting to the various locations you hunt down for is as easy as finding the desired place on your map and pressing a button. Piece of cake, right? In regards to Fallout 4, yes and no. The map locations are a bit off, for starters, and the roads you can walk down are a bit difficult to see on the clever little doohickey's monitor. This makes it a little bit more difficult for those who prefer walking around at their own pace.

This is where the Improved Maps with Visible Roads mod steps in. Not only do roads and tracks appear much brighter on the screen, the map markers have been moved to their precise location, meaning less mucking around to get to the pinpointed area. Railroad tracks are highlighted too, and so are the horizontal and vertical lines on the grid. Plus, there are three levels of brightness for the disconcerting wasteland wanderer. As a result, reconnaissance is no longer burdened by minor inconveniences to hamper the long, arduous journey that awaits.

Now go and there and explore!
