TheFalloutseries is well-respected as one of the best isometric Western RPGs around. That being said, the franchise didn’t reach the levels of popularity it deserved until Bethesda took the reins. The studio turnedFalloutinto an open-world action-adventure title that was a blast to play. While some argue thatthe tight narratives and excellent role-playing of previous titlesare missing in the newFallouttitles, the added benefit of the vast open world and boundless gameplay made this tradeoff bearable for many.
The latest single-player title in the series might be quite divisive, but there’s no denying thatFallout 4is still an excellent game that players can makeeven better with mods.Fallout 4romance modsare especially notable in this regard, and players can download numerous mods to make their romantic activities all the more engaging and fleshed out. Given how popular mods are for the latest Bethesda games, it’s easy to see why Fallout 4 fans would love the idea of modding their game to enhance their experience with the game in a myriad of ways.
Updated on August 06, 2025, by Gerardo Molina:While some of the mods for the game improve the romance encounters that the Sole Survivor can have with the various NPCs available, others opt for adding new NPCs that are not available in the base game. The latter option helps to make the whole experience feel fresher and new, which can be most welcome after dozens of hours of exploring the Boston Commonwealth and talking to the same people over and over.Many of the mods listed below offer a complete overhaul of a lot of NPC dialogue, making them feel more human and invested in their relationship with the Sole Survivor.

There’s no denying that the female NPC companions available inFallout 4are already interesting and, overall, a great match for the Sole Survivor. However, if players are sick and tired of romancing the same female companions over and over throughout various playthroughs, theBlood Rose - Voiced Companion with Affinitymod can help.
This mod introduces a new companion with 320 dialogue files for players' games. Her Affinity system isn’t perfect, but it’s well-developed and can offer a refreshing take on how relationships work in the Boston Commonwealth.

TheIcebreaker Companion Dialogue Overhaulmod is ideal for players who want to have some variety and listen to new pieces of conversation from their Companions. This mod includes over 300 new audio files in different Companion voices, as well as facial expressions and a support for Affinity.
This particular version of the mod applies to Piper, who can be very interesting at first, but tends to repeat herself more and more as the story progresses. By adding this overhaul, she will immediately become more interesting and fun to hang out with thanks to her newly acquired sense of conversation.

A great way to flesh out the romance ofFallout 4is by giving players more options in this regard, and there’s no better way to achieve the same than to download fan-made companions who fit in seamlessly into the Commonwealth. A great example of this is Ellen, a well-written character who can join the Sole Survivor in their adventures.
The backstory of this character is fun to uncover, and players can fall for her if they wish. With more and more voiced followers being added to Bethesda games, there’s no better time to hang out with these custom characters if the player wants to engage in a new playthrough with unfamiliar faces.
17Nora Spouse Companion

It’s a shame that a mod exists only to revive the wife of the Sole Survivor, but players will take what they can get. The Nora Spouse Companion mod is an admirable event that lets players reunite with their long-lost spouse after their child is taken.
It makes for a heartfelt reunion, especially with both characters banding together in a bid to search for their missing son. The work put into making this mod feel natural in Fallout 4’s world should be lauded, and Nora is a pretty interesting companion in her own right too.
16Make Love Not Fallout
Downloads: 39,162
There’s an affinity system in most Bethesda games that governs what companions like and dislike concerning the main character, andFallout 4is no exception in this regard. Companions will judge the Sole Survivor based on what actions they perform, with these metrics being rather odd to track and not really all that clear for players who want to woo the companion of their choice but don’t understand why they aren’t falling for the Sole Survivor.
With the Make Love Not Fallout mod, players can make companions like all their actions regardless of how heinous they may be. This can be a bit immersion-breaking, so only players who are desperate to engage in a romance with a particular character should think about downloading this mod. It’s a simple change to the game’s system that makes it easier to make companions like the Sole Survivor, which is bound to be useful for obvious reasons.

Engaging in flirty conversations is always fun for players who want to pursue the many romantic avenues present inFallout 4, so they would be disappointed to know that these interactions are sorely lacking in the game. Thankfully, modders are here to save the day by adding a bit of romantic flavor and flirty dialogue across the Commonwealth that players can discover.
Hearing characters both passively and actively flirting with the player is pretty great, with the player being able to flirt right back if they wish. Both light and heavy flirt lines are distributed around the world ofFallout 4based on what the environment and city are like.The same applies to player companions, with these lines being given based on the personality of certain characters in the game. It’s a fun and well-thought-out mod that players would love if they want romantic interactions to be increased considerably in the game.
14Expressive Expressions
Downloads: 168,021
Bethesda is known for many things, but character animation certainly isn’t one of them. Even the reveal trailer forStarfieldshowed that Bethesda was still pretty weak in this department, with the characters looking wooden as always. This makes character interactions feel slightly more jilted, and this is especially apparent when the player is trying to woo one of the potential romanceable options in the game.
Players who feel like their sense of immersion is being hampered by this title should check out the Expressive Expressions mod. This mod isn’t just useful for romance but makes every interaction in the game all the more believable. The static expressions of the characters in the game are replaced with handmade ones that look pretty authentic and engaging in their own right.
13Mary Jane

MostBethesda gamesget great companion mods that players can download to engage with custom-made companions that are fleshed out quite a bit.Fallout 4is no exception to this golden rule, and players who want to check out some great modded companions for the game can start with Mary Jane.
This character has a great backstory, and a unique look, and can even be romanced if the Sole Survivor plays their cards right. While this modded character doesn’t have a voice yet, the creator has promised that this will also be integrated in due time.
12Monogamy - Break The Romance Loop
Downloads: 4,078
For some reason, it seems that Bethesda programmed companions to constantly pitch the idea of a romance after reaching maximum affinity. This can get annoying for players who only want to initiate a romance with a single character and don’t want to be too rude while rejecting others.
With this simple mod, players can reject certain companions with way nicer dialogue options instead of rejecting them outright. It feels like a nicer way to deal with the companions in the game without feeling too rude in the process.
11Mechanical Romance
Downloads: 2,288
Curie is one of the most interesting companions in the game. She’s a robot who can potentially fall in love with the player and wishes to get into a synth body so that this romance feels more organic.
Of course, some players might find Curie to be perfectly fine in her robotic form. This is where the Mechanical Romance mod comes into the picture, which prevents “Emergent Behavior” from coming up as a quest and prevents Curie from complaining about not having a synth body.
