Glowing Items
For a game that has millions of items to pick up and use, it can be hard to spot them while exploring its gloomy wasteland environments and dilapidated buildings. Fortunately, modder bwins95 on Nexus Mods has provided us with a helpful fix: glowing items.

Appalachia Restored (Early Access)
This ambitious mod is aiming to restore Appalachia to its pre-war look. As per its description on Nexus Mods, Appalachia Restored: “Aims at reverting everything to its pre-war state – architecture, clutter, furniture, roads, removing tons of trash from the streets and houses, adding a whole lot of lights everywhere, repairing broken buildings, you name it.”
Creators Rigell and IceLain have put a lot of work into this one, and as such it is still in early access.
