Female nudity mods, Fallout 4 already has covered. Male nudity mods are a whole other story, though.
When I last spoke to Fallout 4 modders, they alleged that making nudity mods for male characters was more difficult than female nudity mods. A month later, it seems that some progress has been made, though it’s coming slowly.
NSFW images ahead!
So far, I’ve only been able to find two dick-specific mods for Fallout 4. There’s “Immersive wasteland streaking,” which was made by foreverasir. It looks like this:
And there’s also “Penis Envy,” created by foreverasir:
And while not purely a dick mod, there’s also ”Enhanced Vanilla Bodies” by Leito86. (Thanks for pointing this one out, Kotaku commenters!)
Schlongs of Skyrim, eat your heart out!
No but seriously though, the fact that people are finding ways to make their games naughtier isn’t what is interesting here. Rather, it’s curious to look at the technical difficulties Fallout 4 penis modders are running into along the way, as they try to graft dongs into a game that never intended to have them.
“An issue still is that the dick, because it is put on the pelvis bone, is resized as the character is rezised,” foreverasir wrote on the Penis Envy mod description. “This means that a large character would have a stretched out dick.”
Getting to this point was a gauntlet onto itself. Foreverasir notes that, in an earlier version of the mod, “crouching [would] result in a deformed penis.”
Users have run into some hilarious issues along the way, too:
Fortunately, foreverasir does have a suggestion for players who try out this mod.
“If you are playing a large character, you could try a smaller size, or perhaps a flaccid one. The big erect one looks weird in those cases.”
Immersive Wasteland Streaking has run into different problems altogether, all of which have to do with how the dick is created. While it’s not immediately noticeable, the “immersive” wang in the first picture of this post is actually just a flat texture put over the character’s crotch. What this means is that the character in the first picture in this post isn’t actually naked. He just looks naked, thanks to modding trickery. But really, the only way the mod can work is if the character wears a belt the entire way through.
For now, it seems that modders have to make some concessions as they figure out the ins and outs of dick mods. But hey, for players who really want to let it all hang in Fallout 4? This is still better than nothing:
