Fallout 4: Best Creation Club Mods That Are Worth The Credits

The Creation Club was launched for Fallout 4 in August 2017, allowing players to purchase extra content using money. This content is similar to the mods offered for Fallout 4, but can be considered semi-canon. Content can includes quests that introduce old characters, player homes, and new camouflage for armor.

The Creation Club contains content from Bethesda, in addition to content that was created by fans. Players can purchase this extra content using credits, with $40 being the most the player can spend. Players will also earn 100 credits for logging into the Creation Club for the first time. With so much available, what’s worth players’ money?

Updated May 3, 2024, by Ritwik Mitra: With Amazon’s compelling Fallout TV series bringing new attention to the franchise, it’s easy to see why more and more players want to get into Fallout 4 and experience this amazing world for themselves. Among some players, the Creation Club has been justifiably criticized for trying to run with the paid mods feature under a different term. However, there’s no denying that some of the additional content does a great job of giving players more of a reason to check out this game for themselves. It helps that the next-gen update doesn’t break these official mods, even if the fiasco surrounding this patch irritates a lot of fans.

13 TransDOGrifier

Credits: 300

• How to Obtain: Present in inventory; can also be crafted and modified
• Creator: Bethesda Game Studios

Most people have associated Dogmeat’s appearance with that of a German Shepherd. It has always been the case, and a lot of fans may consider it heresy to even think about changing his appearance. While the original idea that led to Dogmeat’s inception should be preserved, players shouldn’t be shamed for wanting Dogmeat to look a bit different.

So, there’s no harm in downloading a mod that lets players change Dogmeat’s appearance. Seeing Dogmeat as a different breed can be hard to get used to, but players who want to personalize their playthrough will be more than pleased by what this Creation Club content brings to the table.

12 Settlement Ambush Kit

Credits: 900

• How to Obtain: Instantly appears in Workshop Mode
• Creator: Bethesda Game Studios

The act of saving settlements from ambushes is a novel concept, and makes sense given the twisted nature of the wasteland. However, there are times when this mechanic gets tiring really fast, causing players to ignore these attacks from time to time and focus on something else instead. Thankfully, there’s a piece of Creation Club content that takes care of this issue and makes settlement attacks exciting once again.

This pack lets players trigger a special ambush where the Sole Survivor must survive wave after wave of enemies if they chooses to protect their settlement. It lets players interact with a new combat scenario that encourages them to maintain high morale and ensure that the settlers have the means to take out anyone who launches an attack on a well-protected settlement.

11 Virtual Workshop

Credits: 1000

• How to Obtain: Instantly appears in Workshop Mode
• Creator: Rob Vogel (fadingsignal)

Given the sci-fi influences in Fallout, it’s easy to see why players may be interested in the Virtual Workshop. Players will adore the idea of messing about in a virtual landscape where their resources aren’t limited, especially if they love building settlements.

Players can lose hours upon hours as they start exploring everything this Creation Club content brings to the table. It’s pretty polished and lets players enjoy a unique environment to stimulate their creativity.

10 1/12

Credits: 200 Each

• How to Obtain: Complete the quest “Dog Rescue“
• Creator: Bethesda Game Studios

Dogs are still found throughout the Commonwealth, but this side quest allows the player to find the breeds that were common before the war. A few dog breeds in the game include Shiba Inus, Huskies, Golden Retrievers, and pit bulls. This quest allows players to adopt and rename the dogs that they find.

The dogs can be found in different locations around the Boston wasteland. This quest allows players to have a Pre-War dog as their faithful companion.

9 Variety Pack Pip-Boy Bundle

Credits: 300 (Bundle), 100 Each

• How to Obtain: Received automatically
• Creator: Unknown

The Pip-Boy is easily one of the most iconic parts of Fallout. Thus, a bunch of skins that can recolor the Pip-Boy are bound to be a welcome addition. However, the individual packs can end up costing a pretty penny if players purchase them separately.

It makes more sense to buy a bundle that contains multiple alternate skins for the Pip-Boy. The bundle contains ten skins for 300 Creation Club Credits, while each individual Pip-Boy skin costs 100 Credits each.

8 Zetan Arsenal

Credits: 600

• How to Obtain: Complete the quest “Over the Moon”
• Creator: Adam “The Rizzler” Ridsdale, Kris Takahashi

This content gives the player more alien weapons and also comes with a brand new quest. The quest has the player honor a dead farmer’s wish, during which they will then find aliens in the wild.

Players who play the Mothership Zeta DLC will recognize the weapons they are given, including the shock baton, atomizer, and the disintegrator. Defeating the aliens will give the player an upper hand against the other enemies of the Commonwealth.

7 Modular Military Backpack

Credits: 400

• How to Obtain: Present in inventory; can also be crafted and bought
• Creator: Rob Vogel (fadingsignal)

This content allows the player to use a backpack, increasing the carry weight by 25 and certain modifications can increase the carry weight by 120. Cosmetic additions can be added, including the American flag, faction logos, and even the flag of the New California Republic.

These patches also can improve the player’s S.P.E.C.I.A.L., giving this backpack a lot of useful perks. The backpack can either be crafted or bought from one of the many merchants around the Commonwealth.

6 Doom BFG

Credits: 400

• How to Obtain: From a raider named Mercy during the quest “From Hell”
• Creator: Bethesda Game Studios

The BFG is one of the most iconic guns in Doom. Given the fact that this IP is technically owned by Bethesda, it only makes sense that it would be represented in some capacity in Fallout 4.

Players who want their adventure in Fallout 4 to represent Doom in some capacity should definitely opt for the Doom BFG mod. It costs 400 Creation Club Credits and adds the quest “From Hell”, where players can obtain this legendary weapon.

5 Shroud Manor

Credits: 400

• How to Obtain: Complete the quest “Shrouded Manor“
• Creator: Shezrie

This content gives the player a side quest titled Shrouded Manor, which when completed will give the player a new home and unique settlement objects. Found inside of the house is a variant of the Silver Shroud outfit that looks different from the base game version.

The player will have to clear out the manor to claim it, but this should come easily. The objects in the manor include paintings, uniquely styled beds, and chairs. These objects can also be used in the other settlements the player might own, giving a few more decoration options.

4 Sentinel Control System Companion

Credits: 700

• How to Obtain: Complete the quest “Malevolent Malfunction”
• Creator: Bethesda Game Studios

The idea of multiple suits of Power Armor being controlled remotely is one of the coolest concepts that the Creation Club has touched on. Players who want to see this idea become a reality should download the Sentinel Control System Companion mod from the Fallout 4 Creation Club.

It might cost a hefty 700 Credits, but the wealth of content it adds is amazing to behold. It adds the side quest “Malevolent Malfunction,” from where players can experience this mod for themselves.

3 Vault Suit Customization

Credits: 300

• How to Obtain: Found in Vault-Tec Regional HQ and various vaults
• Creator: ANDREWCX, Elianora

The Vault Suit is another iconic part of the Fallout series. Now, with one of the best Creation Club mods, players are afforded a greater degree of customization in this department!

By spending 300 Creation Club Credits, players will get the opportunity to customize the number and color of their Vault Suit. It’s a small change, but a welcome one nevertheless.

2 Tunnel Snakes Rule!

Credits: 500

• How to Obtain: Complete the quest “Tunnel Snakes Rule!“
• Creator: Adam “The Rizzler” Ridsdale

Fans of Fallout 3 will recognize this jacket as the symbol of the Tunnel Snakes. A quest will have the player follow a radio signal that leads them to Wally Mack, a member of the gang from Vault 101. Sadly, he has been turned into a ghoul.

Players who defeat Wally are able to pick up the Tunnel Snakes jacket and a 10mm pistol from Fallout 3. The entire quest is a fantastic throwback to the lovable gang from Vault 101. It is also nice to see a familiar face, even if it isn’t exactly the same.

1 Captain Cosmos

Credits: 700

• How to Obtain: Complete the quest “Captain Cosmos“
• Creator: Kial Oliver-Gibson (SovereignWalrus), Rob Vogel (fadingsignal)

One of the more expensive mods in the Fallout 4 Creation Club is Captain Cosmos. It also adds a great questline that will keep players occupied for quite some time.

Keep in mind that the mod costs a whopping 700 Creation Club Credit. However, it’s still worth it for the new weapon, outfit, and set of Power Armor that comes along with a hilarious and entertaining quest.
