People often get creative when designing and developing Fallout 4 mods, but one of the latest and most recently popular mods is relatively mundane, but so well done. It’s called Enhanced Movement, and it was released on Nexus Mods by a modder called bp42s. This mod offers such a huge improvement in exchange for something so simple.
Enhanced Movement adds a few new mechanics, such as sliding, and it tweaks existing movement-based fundamentals to make everything feel more realistic. For instance, your player feels like they have weight after jumping from a height, their movement speed is adjusted if they run in a certain direction or manner, and stamina decreases when sneaking and swimming.
Simple but Super
Enhanced Movement (dug up by PCGamesN) is one of the most recent mods to his Nexus that I’d wholeheartedly recommend installing. It offers a sweet depth to the customisation of in-game movement mechanics that genuinely make Fallout 4 feel so much more intense and immersive.
Other mods do the same thing, such as introducing inertia and player weight, but Enhanced Movement feels much more comprehensive and fleshed out.
In the mod menu, you can tweak AP costs and debuffs, and you can switch on or off various animations and elements of the mod. It’s a run-of-the-mill thing in that respect, but it’s in live play that you feel the biggest differences. In the below walkthrough of the mod, you can see how well-animated and smooth sliding is in Fallout 4 with Enhanced Movement:
This isn’t bp42s’ first rodeo, though. On Nexus, this modder has released 47 different downloads ranging from a karma system to a mechanic that encourages fear in enemies when they see you wearing Power Armor. The Enhanced Movement mod is the latest in a very long line of top-tier contributions bp42s has made to the Fallout 4 ecosystem.
