📋 About This Mod
Basics:
Adds a small/basic quest, "Brendan's Death Song", that follows on from Coin Operated Boy, that ends with Brendan being installed in the H10 apartment!
What happens after he's in V's apartment?
He can greet V!
He can tell some jokes!
He can occasionally give out a free drink item!
V can also say good bye 'manually' to dismiss the choices without the above.
He goes silent during partner dates in H10, but does have a small change of appearance when the partner is there...
What does 'Brendan's Death Song' involve?
After a number of text messages, which get increasingly odd, V goes to the apparent source of the messages.
Once there, V has to locate the SCSM that seems to have sent the last messages; it's Brendan!?
Pay a couple of nearby workers (€$5000) to help you move him.
Several hours later and you're back in V's H10 apartment with your new choom!
What about the apartment customization/recolors?
The mod is compatible with all the (base game) changes that V can make to the coloring of the apartment.
Quest specifics:
-
[]6 hours after installing/activating the first message is sent from SoftSys (Advert 1)[/]
[]18 hours after that AND after Coin Operated Boy is completed the second message is sent (Advert 2)[/]

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid endorsement-to-download ratio (432 endorsements on 45,856 downloads) shows real community approval.
- Picks up right after Coin Operated Boy, giving fans of that quest a natural follow-up.
- Small quest mods like this are easy to slot into a playthrough without overhauling your game.
⚠️ Cons
- Description is thin—no details on quest length, rewards, or voice acting, so you're going in blind.
- Only works if you've played Coin Operated Boy, so it's not for everyone.
- Last updated March 2026, but no guarantee it's compatible with the latest game patches or other mods.
For Fallout 4 players who enjoyed Coin Operated Boy and want a little more story around Brendan. Also for quest mod collectors who like small, focused additions. Skip if you're looking for a big quest mod or haven't played the original.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you've completed Coin Operated Boy before installing this mod, or the quest won't trigger.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the install to avoid manual file placement issues.
- Check the mod's comments section on the Nexus for any reported conflicts with other quest mods.
