        settlements. between the mods and cheats, you can go pretty fucking crazy.

        and, oh, boy, did i. I’ve pretty much rebuilt the entire commonwealth several times over.

        Some mods can really bloat up the game. Tbh, even in vanilla, with all the DLCs… if you want to 100% it, it takes you quite a while. So let’s assume OP is a completionist. Then add for example, Sim Settlements 2, all three chapters and Rise of the Commonwealth. That’s gonna take you a while to finish, and I’m also going to guess that OP started a new game rather than an existing save every time a new mod and/or chapter was released. On top of that I imagine you’ll want to do a Survival run at least once, which can take quite a while. Just to name a few things. :p

        Fallout 4 is just like Skyrim. There are so many mods, there is almost no limit to how much time you spend playing it. And because there are so many mods, you’ll always have new things to do.

          yeah, a typical vanilla (or even DLC) playthrough is about 40-60 hours. maybe 80 if you really scour. with mods and cheats, I get an average of 200-400 hours out of a playthough… 600 if I put a lot of wrk into it. technically, one could go on forever, but that’s about the limit I hit before it’s just boring and everything worth doing is done.

          FO4, unlike any other, really allows you to build your own world in the Commonwealth. The mods are amazing.
