Releasing in 2015, many would considerFallout 4to be the last decent entry in the series, what with the overall reception of76. WithFallout 5now confirmed by Bethesda, the long-running post-apocalyptic franchise could well go back to what made the games great before the 2018 entry. In the meantime, fans can keep themselves busy with the slew of mods that are available, and a new one for the fourth entry adds a lot more creatures to the wasteland.
Created by Delicon20, “Mutant Menagerie: Nuclear Safari” is a custom mod forFallout 4that comes packed with new content. As the name suggests, this add-on brings new mutated creatures to Boston, specifically to Nuka-World. The description says that players will discover exotic beasts and more “classic creatures” like giraffes. This is actually an extension of a couple of previous “Mutant Menagerie” mods, as noted by DSO Gaming, and implements some assets from the previous iterations while also adding new things. On top of this, there are some new recipes and high-level world bosses.

In the vanilla experience alone,Fallout 4has a lot of tough encountersfrom the likes of Deathclaws and Super Mutant Behemoths. With this latest installment of “Mutant Menagerie,” it sounds like players are going to have more to deal with as they explore the world. Of course, there are some passive creatures as well, so it doesn’t seem like all these new beasts are going to be hostile.
This is just one of many ways that the community is helping to extend the life of this entry and others in the series. With the ambitiousFallout 4mod “Fallout London” getting a demo recently, which is an add-on that turns England’s capital city into a wasteland, there are a multitude of ways that fans can keep playing, expanding the already vast world, filling it with a ton of extra content, and just generally increasingFallout’s shelf life.
While many would consider 2010’sNew Vegasto be the superior entry in the franchise,Fallout 4is still a pretty solid game, and the fact that there are a ton of mods out there means players can have new experiences. WithBethesda currently working onStarfield, it’s probably going to be a long time beforeFallout 5andThe Elder Scrolls 6emerge. Both games are hugely anticipated, but at least they are on the way.
Fallout 4is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
