Welcome to Fallout Mods!
A mod describes any modifications made to a game or its files. Mods are typically created by fans to customize the experience to their liking. While some mods focus on tweaks to the existing content, others may add new characters, items, or locations. There are many different types of mods. The changes they apply may range from small balancing changes to sprawling, DLC-sized world spaces which contain voice-acted questlines.

Over the past two decades, both games have been reverse-engineered and accrued several modifications, including support for higher resolutions, engine upgrades, and of course, restoration of cut content.
