We want to look at recent endorsements, not all-time endorsements, because there are mods that were once popular but have been superseded. " Top Files" is ranked by most endorsements received over the past two weeks. Here's the approach to constructing this list:Ī) Start with the top 500 mods in the Top Files section on FO4 Nexus,ī) Include only mods that have been released for at least a month,Ĭ) See how many of them we can slot into a load order that plays well together without conflicts.
