This station replaces Radio Freedom with 122 tracks of folks and blues songs from the 1920s and 30s, with an emphasis on fiddle music to retain the original station’s feel. “If you have ever been lulled to sleep listening to the Minutemen’s resident violinist rehearse for a recital that will never be held, please download this mod.” And with that, the author of the Independence Radio mod gives it far better of an endorsement than I ever could. This is mod is a great change of pace if you’re tired of subconsciously blocking out the tunes from your other radio stations and want something you can actively listen to in a lore-friendly way. Wells’ “The War of the Worlds” by Orson Welles, a particularly well chosen and thematic addition. It also offers the October, 30 1938 broadcast of H.G. Instead it replaces Diamond City songs with old radio plays, available in three volumes, comedy, western, and drama. Like the Commercial Mod, this Fallout 4 radio station doesn’t offer music. There aren’t any music tracks, so it’s just one ad and its chintzy jingle after another, but in terms of hearing what history sounds like, it’s a winner. The Commercial Radio mod is a collection of over 100 old commercials from the 40s through the 60s.

This radio station doesn’t necessarily have a lot of long-term listening appeal, but I like it anyway. It has since been ported both to Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4 and while the unsettling ambient horror style of music may not be lore-friendly, it serves as the perfect soundtrack for creeping around the radioactive haze of Far Harbor or combing the Glowing Sea. When I first started modding Fallout 3, this was among the first radio stations I downloaded. Here are our ten favorite radio mods for Fallout 4. Be sure to read the description page of each before installing.

Some are standalone stations, meaning they make up a radio station of their own, while others replace radio stations that are already within the game, rendering them incompatible with certain other radio mods. Others on this list are brand-spanking new. Over the years since Fallout 3 I’ve had the chance to listen to dozens of different user-made stations, some of which are still around and available for your auditory pleasure today. Exploration games in general benefit greatly from a good soundtrack, and the ability to constantly change the tunes emanating from your Pipboy makes wandering the Commonwealth as pleasant and enjoyable as cruising an old Chevy through the backwoods while listening to the radio on a sunny day.

Radio mods are one of the best things to ever happen to the post-Interplay Fallout games.
