Modding is one of the best parts of any Bethesda RPG. Not making them, obviously – who's got that sort of time – but consuming them. Fallout 4's editor isn't available yet, but that hasn't stopped more than 100 pages of modifications from spilling out onto the game's Nexus page.
Some make sense. A better dialogue interface is a boon, and higher-res textures are an inevitability. Others, though... not so much.

"I wish Dogmeat was more like David Bowie" is not a thought I have ever had. Maybe it's a lack of imagination on my part, but I hadn't considered giving my canine companion the heterochromia present in such noted ocular owners as the Thin White Duke and Yuna from Final Fantasy X.

I said this wasn't a list of the best mods, but I lied because this is the best mod. I'm not even going to make a tongue-in-cheek comment. I am in too much awe.
Yup, this was inevitable.
If you really want your Pip-Boy to shine, consider pairing the above with the following texture replacer:
If you ever wanted to feel better about not bothering to look for your son as soon as you left the Vault, this mod can help.
Fallout 4 Nexus's Clothing category is a strange, perverted place. In other words, it's perfect for the purposes of this article.
And would you look at that, here's a selection of fresh pants.
