The load times in this game eventually kill every playthrough. I still wish I could finish the DLC and build one giant settlement but I don't have the time to wait two minutes every load screen. Maybe if I had a SSD or a more advanced PC, but as it is this game just pissed me off tremendously.
Texture Optimization Project, Optimized Vanilla Textures, clutter remover and a few other mods help load times immensely. Of course an SSD will help immensely, but it's not absolutely necessary. I've never had load times over 20 seconds, average is closer to 5. Sadly, that's light speed for a bethesda games, but it's a speed I am willing to deal with. Since survival mode is the only way to play FO4, I don't deal with loads between fast travel.
There's a mod that fixes this. The loading is locked to 60 FPS (same as the game). The mod removes this and lets it load at the max speed of GPU and Processor. it helps a lot.
